RM2K/3 Pokemon Battle System

[Dawson]

okay i've got them all and most of them are in order however some are a bit scrambled. if the zip doesn't work here i'll have to upload it to my website.

[DarkMage31]

It worked! That's awesome work! Nice job! Sweet... Thanks! *let's see how long I can go on like this* Very cool. Awesome job! Perfect! Very Cool! *okay, I'm done*

Time to work!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Ahh! Thanks! I found the site that hosted them once but I lost them.. Awesome, now we will be able to put em in the pokemon selection screen!

DM, How is that comming? Good I hope :) well anyway, I have to go back to ripping some sprites. Then I will have to muck about with pictures *sigh*

[DarkMage31]

I hate mucking w/ pictures...

Anyway, I have most things thought out, just gotta apply it in RM2K3. Not too much practice... I'll have a busy weekend this time around, so don't expect too much :/

[Krazy_Meerkat]

That's quite alright, do it in your own time.

It's not so much hard, its just so long. If I want to put in another displayer for our name then I will have to change each letter of the name (6 letters) and then each letter of the alphabet for that part of the name.. uhh makes me tired jus thinking about it!
I am about to piece together the picture which the name is displayed on, because the rip cuts it into little bits :( then I will do HP then I will do the name

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Umm.. Hello, I havent been able to do very much lately because of all the moving I have been doing.. I am also very tired and will wait for DM to do the pokemon system. I need a break sorry, I cant work that much because starting friday, I have block exams. I think schoolwork is more important than programming.

[Dawson]

it looks like everybody has exams now. I've just come back from a 2 hour geography exam. Anyway there's no rush, while everybody is busy with schoolwork they wont have much time for programming as well.

[DarkMage31]

Same problem. I'm going to have to put it off for a while. We all have lives... unfortunately :)

[Dawson]

are we gonna have new pokemon in the game?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

well I would be glad to code new pokemon in the game. there is a few problems though.. like we need the back and front pics of pokemon... and any other animations we might want to include eg. the little anim for crystal, when the pokemon come on screen.

You know what I would like to see? A pokemon game with completly new pokemon in it and no old ones. like for g/s/c they had the equivilent for bulbasaur, charmander, and squirtle which were cyndaquil, totodile, and chikorita... but they still had bulbasaur, charmander and squirtle included. I would like to see a game with totally new pokemon and no old ones.
anyway thats just my opinion, im not sure what everyone else would like to do..

[DarkMage31]

I think our time would be better spent at this stage to talk about the actualy coding. After all of that is set, we can talk about stories, features, etc.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

How are you going with the pokemon selection thing, Dark? Have you had much time to do it? I have block exams starting tomorrow so I will have to do some studying tonight.

[DarkMage31]

I haven't had a chance to work on it much. Don't be expecting it for a while. School ends soon. Then I'll go off to sleep away camp over the summer, so when I get back (3 weeks) I'll work on it more. I'll just add bits here and bits there as the free time comes along :)

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Wow.. I think the work is about to slow down a fair bit.. I have block exams all next week. But after that i have school still so i will do some work then.. I should have a bit of free time then. :)

[Krazy_Meerkat]

This is an interesting picture.. http://www.frailart.net/members/Ket_Shi/Sprites/SpriteSheet.gif
It has all of the pokemon mini-sprites and would be useful for the battle sys I thought. Why don't you check it out DM?

[DarkMage31]

Whoa! That's big! Someone has too much time on their hands ;)

Anyway, I have what I need. Now to find the time to do it... :(

[Krazy_Meerkat]

lol :) we are all short on time lately

[PKMN_Sage]

Is the battle system project being halted? There hasn't been any discussion in this thread for awhile. I got a question too. Would this battle system be easy to use, especially for noobs...lol. I'm a newbie to both RM2k3 and to this board.

[Sorye HK]

Is the battle system project being halted?
NO.

Would this battle system be easy to use, especially for noobs...lol. I'm a newbie to both RM2k3 and to this board.
We're trying to make it easy for other people to use, but when the demo comes
out, it would probably hard for people first starting RM2K/3 to use.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I am sorry I havent been able to do much work on the battle because I have exams and so does pretty much everyone else on this project. I have another week of school before the holidays so I will have to wait till then.
In answer to your question, yes it should be easy to use but I would reccomend using rm2k3 for a while before implementing this into your game because I am sure it will be a bit hard to do. I have yet to see when we will get a demo out but it should be soon. If other people reply to this topic I will write back but I havent had any progress for a while so I don't post here (I check it every now and then).

[DarkMage31]

I worked a tad on the selection screen. I've got the basics set up. Just gotta work on the CMS part. It shouldn't be that hard, just gotta keep working with those graphics :)

[Dawson]

it's good to see progress being made, regardless of how little. Keep it up!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Should I set up the programming to work with one map for pokemon selection from menu and battle? Or should we make it less confusing and have one map for the menu and one map for the battle? I can go either way so I don't care

[Dawson]

well if it's less confusing you might as well use one map for each.

[Sorye HK]

I agree with Phoenix316. That would make it easier for people to use
and understand.

[rm2kdude]

They are from this site: http://www.vilhjalmur.com/butterfree/gallery.htm
I am NOT claiming credit from them I just want to use them in the game.
I will give full credit to Butterfree aka Dragonfree regaurding her modified pokemon (if we use them) I am pretty sure we have permission because:
those are awesome sprites I will edit the ones that are ment to be normal.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Ok deal. I still haven't started yet because I still have school but I have to have a plan before I code all of this anyway. DM is still working on the cms part of it and he is making advances but I will have to wait for him so I can start my part. Go at your own pace DM I would rather have it done good than quick :)

[Dawson]

yep i agree. i've said this a few times now but we still need a name. since most of us aren't doing anything we might as well come up with some suggestions

[Krazy_Meerkat]

We can't just call it anything you know. No stupid names like Pokemon *colour*

[Dawson]

yeah i know, that's we i think we should be making suggestions.

[PokeReaper]

I got a great story for a Pokemon game, some original Pokemon (whose sprites, pictures, and all of that I have already made), & I was planning on putting in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, maybe Orre, & a region I made myself [at the least my original region].
I have already made NEW maps for Cinnabar, the route leading from Cinnabar to Pallet Town, Pallet it's self, Route 1 through 5, Pewter, & Cerulean, from Kanto.
If anyone would like to hear MY ideas for a Pokemon game they need only to eMail me.

PokemonCenTel2004@Yahoo.com

Later.

[omarfr]

I think the game should be called Pokemon Amber version or Pokemon Onyx version

[Dawson]

we agreed that the game was not gonna be called pokemon *colour*. were looking for something more original.

[omarfr]

oh okay well the name should sorta be the same as the storyline or somin

[Dawson]

is mysticswampert still the storyline creator 'cos i ain't seen him on here for a while now so we might need a new one.

[DarkMage31]

I haven't seen swampert either. Anyway, we have omarfr for the storyline now, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[omarfr]

I think the story should be about a boy/girl who comes to a new land from Kanto and another boy/girl(RIVAL) from Johto they become neighbors
then another Girl don't have name idea is after a legendary pokemon haven't thought of which one and your journey begins when you go to the Profs lab you get your pokemon and the prof tells you that the girl is after the legendary pokemon you go on the journey and try and stop her

Tell me if you like the idea

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Hmm.. Seems a bit like the storyline in R/S... I sort of like the idea about the legendary pokemon, but I think we need a bit more than "Go and save the world"

[omarfr]

Well thats only the start of my story I am thinking of more

[Dawson]

well if catching the legendary pokemon is such a bad thing then you wouldn't be able to catch it yourself, would you? Also there wouldn't be any reason to do the gym challenge either.

[omarfr]

Well I was thinking the legendary is only bad if someone evil captures it so you kinda have to capture but you need to beat all the gymleaders to capture it and I was thinking the legendary could be Rayquaza or Deoyxs.
Or the prof doesn't tell you but you find out eventually

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Make it something like, he is going to use the power of the legendary pokemon for evil plans to do something.. Maybe you could be an apprentice to the one who "saves the world" instead of everything being up to you.

[Dawson]

Since I had nothing better to do today I decide I'd come up with a story myself. Here goes:

Story

Hiro (name to be changed) is a 10 year old (age to be changed) boy (gender can be changed) with a passion for Pokemon. One day he goes exploring a tall mountain range with his Pokemon. When he reaches the top he sees a legendary mythical Pokemon (a new one, similar to Mewtwo). Through sheer amazement at seeing such a rare and powerful Pokemon, Hiro runs towards the Pokemon. Hiro startles the Pokemon thus causing it to lash out and attack with a beam. The beam knocks Hiro flying off the summit and landing far below. A group of trainers finds him and takes him back to his home town. When he wakes up he has amnesia and doesn't remember anything except the mythical Pokemon he witnessed. He makes it his aim to return to the mountain summit and get closer to the Pokemon. The police however, who do not want the same incident to occur again, have put security at the bottom of the mountain and only trainers that have proved their strengths and ability to handle powerful Pokemon by defeating the Elite 4 can enter the mountain. Thus, Hiro sets off on his journey to collect all the gym badges and defeat the Elite 4 and return to the mountain and capture the Pokemon. The story of the mythical Pokemon being spotted attracted the attention of Team Rocket (name to be changed) who makes it their objective to capture the Pokemon to front their mission to conquer the world (mission objective to be changed). This makes it your goal to thwart Team Rocket's plans and achieve your own goal.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

That sounds like r/b/y where you must defeat the elite 4 to be able to catch mewtwo from the cave.. I don't know maybe everyone would like to see a change in storyline, I am sorry but I just hate the old storylines so much, You know (where you have to do one thing to do another)..

[Dawson]

it's not that you have to do one thing to do another. It's just that the story implements the 3 main features of pokemon games, collect the badges, defeat the evil team and capture the pokemon. I just thought that the story gave a bit of depth and meaning for those actions. And who says we can only have one story? Pokemon games are huge and there is plenty of opportunity to include other storylines.

[omarfr]

Yeah their could be alot of stories

[PKMN_Sage]

I'm sorry, I'm kind of at a lost as to what you guys are talking about. I thought this thread was about creating a battle system for people to use in there games. But lately I'm hearing things that seem like a game is in the making. So what's going on now? Are you guys creating a game?

[omarfr]

Yeah we are making a game

[Sorye HK]

Here's a site with many of the FR maps.
Hope this helps!

http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#P

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Let me explain, we are making two battle systems; one for the public, and one for us. We are making game, but it has no name yet.. We still have no storyline and graphic suggestions for the main character. Since it is related to this and we all post here then why not talk about the next stage after the battle system has been completed?
We can't make a new thread because we are not ready yet, to prevent spamming and creating useless topics we just save space by posting relevent stuff here.

I like the idea about several storylines (like mini-quests) but I think you should be able to choose your own storyline by the things you want to do. Like have several possibilities and choices every now and then to decide what you end up doing.. Eg. storyline where you fight the legendary sea pokemon by talking to/battling with sailors etc. Or storyline where you train up to fight the elite four(five?(six?))
Whatever.. You know what I'm talking about?

[Dawson]

yeah i know what your talking about and its a cool idea. Sort of like choosing your own fate. if we need hero graphics i'll start work on some and we are using fr/lg graphics, aren't we?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yep we sure are..................................

[Dawson]

here's a couple of possibilities. I've only done the one sprite so if no-one likes them i haven't wasted too much time.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Im having a problem and I can't see that image.. I also can't see any of the ones at your site as well.. I will see if I can fix it.

[omarfr]

I have a idea maybe you can become different things also besides a trainer like a breeder,gym leader,or something else then you could start focusing on that subject like gym leader you would get a gym and people come at random times to battle if that is possible or breeder you can get a breeding center start raising pokemon.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

We would have to work very hard to keep finding things for gym leaders and breeders to do other than just stand around... I can't think up anything else for them to do on the spot.. Maybe the gym leader will go to special meetings with every other gym leader and they all compete for something.. Or maybe every now and then someone tries to steal badges and you must stop them..? I don't know.. Too tired to think

[omarfr]

well maybe not gym leader

[Krazy_Meerkat]

See? Is too hard to think up things to do all the time..

[Dawson]

the only thing i can think of for breeders would be to make it sort of like harvest moon where you have to grow and look after your own crops to feed to the pokemon to improve their stats for the contests. But that would be like making two games.

[Happy Gilmore]

Hey guys, I'm back. You guys are making great progress with the battle system, keep ot up! As for the game, I think it would probably be better if it travelled along the same Trainer catching Pokemon, beating the Gyms & Elite four, it would be too hard to make it work for a gym leader or a breeder.

[Dawson]

Okay can anyone see this sprite?

[Happy Gilmore]

Yeah, they come up for me fine.

[Sorye HK]

Hey, I've finished my tests and have quite a lot of free time.
Is there anything I can do?
Also, are we going to upload the group project files in lateralshift.net?
If so, I'll make a project called "group project" under my ID so that everyone
gets to work on one site.

[Dawson]

it would probably be best to upload them to lateralshift. we still need a name and a story, so if you have any ideas for these then now would be a good time to tell them.

[Happy Gilmore]

Yeah, lateralshift would be the best place for it to be uploaded to.

[Sorye HK]

Well, I've made a project at lateralshift. I named it "group project"
for now. If anyone wants to know my ID and password and they're
part of the group project, just post here or PM me.

Should I make 2 projects? One for the main game and one for the battle sys.
If we're going to release it later on, it would be better using the space of a
different project rather than the main one (the actual game) we're using.

Just in case some people don't know, the game has not actually been
started yet.

[Dawson]

it has been started...sort of. I've made a couple maps, one for the home town and one that contains all of the houses in the town. you should make two different projects because the public battle system will be slightly different to the one used in the game.

[Sharingan]

hi, i tryed to dl the battle system but i cant download the att. can someone please give a direct link or send it to Blackcoder101@hotmail.com ?

[Dawson]

what attachment? the battle system hasn't been completed so how can you download it?

[Sharingan]

at page six there is this link to download the system

The post:

You're right, it's not working. Try this:

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Phoenix, can you post some screens at the lateralshift site? And Daegon could you send me the ID and Password?

[Sorye HK]

Krazy, I've sent you and Phoenix PMs. I need to get find out which other people are apart of this project to send them the info.

[Dawson]

yeah i'll post the screens later, i've only just woken up at the moment. Note that it can still be changed if people have any ideas to add to it.

[Dawson]

ok i've uploaded the screens for you to check out.

[Sorye HK]

Just in case you don't know where the screens are they're in the "upload files"
section.
phoenix316, I especially like the town screen.
The hero's house seems a bit small though.
Maybe you should add separate rooms for the hero
and his parents, siblings and so on.

Also, next time upload the screens after you
change the directory to "screens." That way we can
upload them to the site.

[Dawson]

oops, sorry my fault. i tried to delete the files and upload them as screens but they wouldn't delete.
i'll probably add another room to the heroes house for the mom but i don't think it needs to be much bigger than it is because the bigger it is the more space needs to be filled up.
Also, daegon i hope you don't think this is rude but what role are you playing in the game development?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

*Sigh* Uh.. Phoenix could you please upload files other than .PNG please?

[Harley]

Have any of you pplz heard of CMS(Custom Menu system) or CBS(Custom Battle System)

[Brushfire0605]

hi harley, this whole topic is about the CBS they're building.
please take time to read the older posts

[Dawson]

krazy, what file types can you see? i'll upload them as .bmp's for now.
Harley,why do you think the thread is called 'RM2K/3 Pokemon Bttle System?'

[Sorye HK]

I'm meant to be the one ripping/making chipsets along with a different member,
but I think the other members can do that better than me.
So I've also decided to do some coding for some side events (I'll tell you guys later)
and help out the members by doing the things that they have trouble or can't be
bothered to do that much. In other words, doing as much as possible.

[Dawson]

ok, thats cool, i was just unsure, thats all.
daegon can you delete the picture file from the projex file so i can upload them in a different format and under /screens. for some reason they wouldn't delete when i tried to.

[Sorye HK]

Ok. I'll do that right now.
*done*

[Dawson]

ok, i've uploaded them as .bmp's. krazy if you want to keep the pictures you'll have to save them to your computer because they take up a huge amount of space.

[Sorye HK]

Hey, I've uploaded the screens on to the site.
If you can't see them Krazy, try linking to the site.
By the way, the .bmps take a bit more time to load than
the last files.

--EDIT--

Exams have finished and I'm looking for something
to do to help speed the progress of the battle system!
Just ask! For example an annoying piece of code.

[Dawson]

when it comes to coding i don't think there's no-one better than Krazy. just to clarify how the lateralshift site works. We can see the site but nobody else can, true? so when the battle system is done krazy uploads it to the site and then we download it ourselves add in some stuff and then upload the new version for somebody else to add to. am i correct?

I dont even know what the site is.. :confused:

[Craig619]

i thought that the battle system and at least a demo of the game would have been done by know. wats going oin?

[Dawson]

do you have any idea how long it takes to make a game? and how difficult and time consuming it is to make a custom battle system?

[Sorye HK]

Hey, about the host I found ( the one willing to give webspace ),
should we let the guy host the group project and battle system for us?
Or should we stick with lateralshift? By the way, our host's a member of PC.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

when it comes to coding i don't think there's no-one better than Krazy. just to clarify how the lateralshift site works. We can see the site but nobody else can, true? so when the battle system is done krazy uploads it to the site and then we download it ourselves add in some stuff and then upload the new version for somebody else to add to. am i correct?
That's what I thought we were doing :)
Daegon, I wouldn't trust anyone else with our hardwork than a remote webhost. A remote webhost won't just remove all your files after he has downloaded them..
If you want to do some side events for the game while the battle is still going then feel free too, just don't do anything too complicated with lots of variables and switches we can't change later.. part of this is the reason below.

Well... The battle system uses (so far) variables: 1-74 and for some reason 145-146.. I think it uses some variables from the 2500 block for pokemon information. Also it uses switches 1-27. Please remember this while making your games.. I am sorry but I can't change those switches or variables now, it is too late and would ultimately slow down progress of the battle..

Ok progress report:
I have been working very hard and now I can display our pokemon's HP. I don't think I can make it rock up and down though.. Just because of the way I have done it.. I am working on the name display and the HP and Level numbers.. But I think I will do the enemy's stuff first.
I am going to put in a nifty little piece of coding to make the HP go down bit-by-bit. As it is, huge chucks just dissapear.

Phoenix, I can't see .PNG's only for some reason.. Wierd because it used to work :(
Thanks for all your positive comments :D

I appologise for any inconveniences to anyone but I have been a bit sick X_X

[Sorye HK]

Then what should I tell the guy who's offered us webspace?

Phoenix, Meerkat any one of you reply please.

Meerkat, firstly right after I'd written my last post my brother
deleted my work and formatted the PC. So the status system I've
been working will have to be discontinued. Also, meerkat, you don't
have to push yourself if you're sick.

Just in case anyone wanted to know about the status system
here's some info:

1. Just having attk, spd was too boring so I added happiness, hate,
love and some other emotions and also hunger and tiredness.
(also by having this you can make it so you can check the power
of frustration and return and the rest of the attks to see how much
power they can use in their present condition)
2. Also added critical hit percentage (goes along with emotions)
3. Also added mental power (a bit like focus band where the attk only gets
the pokemon to 1HP, but this gauge shows how long the pokemon can
do this)
4. Was about to make the pokemon recovery spd gauge ( time to heal self after
battle-also goes along with tiredness, hunger, etc) but the computer got formatted.
got formatted.

[Dawson]

if it's free then i can't see any harm in letting the guy host our game. After all we'll still have the lateralshift one if anything should go wrong.
Back to the game, i'm gonna make a few more maps over the next couple of days and i'll upload screens (as .bmps for krazy) to the lateralshift site when i'm done.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thank you phoenix :)
Daegon, Those are some nice effects.. But you will never get them done.
I would've thought you would learn to back up things on your PC after your brother deleted and formatted them. You could at least upload them to an internet site.
I am sorry that your stuff got deleted but your brother is obviously going to keep doing this.. I'm not relying on you for anything in the project so you don't have to waste your effort on something that will probably be deleted.

Anyway those extra's can be for our battle system, this is the public one and we are not changing it.

I am releasing a pre-release demo to a few people, this will contain the battle system, but not the item system or pokemon selection system. Umm I suppose you could use the PC system I made but with no item system you can't use pokeballs to capture pokemon.. It will only be set up to battle wild pokemon and trainers..

[Happy Gilmore]

Good to see you guys are making progress. Could one of you send me the stuff for the site, in case you're wondering, I'm supposed to be doing the NPCs for the game.

[Sorye HK]

I'm never going to make anything without backing it up
ever again!
Well, time to get in contact with our host
and sort some things out. If things go well, I'll be able to set up
a website with unlimited webspace by tommorow or the day
after.

It's great news that you'll be releasing the demo soon, Krazy.

[Dawson]

I'm never going to make anything without backing it up
ever again!
Yep, I found that out the hard way as well. Now after I do anything significant I make 3 or 4 copies of it just to be on the safe side.

[Dawson]

alright what's going on? i've tried to upload a new town to the lateralshift site and i keep getting an error message saying that it is an invalid file type. It is a .png and i uploaded it under /screens.

[Sorye HK]

Well, I don't know what's going on either. I'll go check.

Anyway, I'm uploading a short tech demo of
the tired/hunger sys. It's really simple so I finished it quite
quickly.

--EDIT--

I can upload .png files easily. Try again phoenix.

--EDIT2--

Does anyone know how to use HTML?
I kinda forgot.

[Dawson]

'Rocky Bay.PNG' could not be uploaded! Invalid file type for the selected location!
that's the message i keep getting.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Daegon, I tried it, I needed to change some things but I really like this! We could make it so that when your pokemon are low level, they cannot walk very far without having a rest.. And we can make it re-generate while they are resting! Then when your pokemon become stronger, they don't need to eat as much and they can walk for ages without having to rest!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I added a little rest-regeneration thing.. You have to be standing still for 1 second for it to start regenerating. We could have little resteraunts in the game where you can bring your pokemon to eat as well. Also pokemarts should sell pokemon food, and when you heal at the pokecenter they should feed your pokemon.
I do have one question though.. What happens when you are all by yourself and your last pokemon faints..? Should we just make it like when you lose a battle and you get teleported back to pokecenter..?

EDIT: Here is the file with regeneration.. I change the man to say what is actually happening in case people didn't know. Just walk around lots to make your pokemon tired

[rubyrulez]

That sounds very interesting, looking forward to the next demo.

[Dawson]

it's a cool idea but shouldn't you get a warning that your pokemon is about to faint instead of it just fainting.

[Sorye HK]

I added as a message, "Pokemon's condition is critical. GIVE THEM FOOD."
I think most people will understand that their pokemon is going to faint by
that message.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Does everyone want to use it in the game?
I know I do :)

[Sorye HK]

I think it will make the game very realistic.
I agree on using it in the game. When the Battle system's
out I'll modify to cut the pokemon's HP as well.

[Happy Gilmore]

Sounds like a good idea, it would make the game much more realistic :)

[Sorye HK]

I'll start on the emotion thing now.

[Dawson]

Daegon, i've uploaded another screenshot of a new town to the lateralshift site, but for some reason it only uploads under /files and I can't delete it. So what you could do is save it to your computer and then try to upload it yourself and delete the one in /files.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yep good idea! Emotions... How will we make it so that the player can affect the emotions of the pokemon? Just give me a few examples.. We are making our game quite realistic.. :)

[Dawson]

err...if you keep using one Pokemon to battle then the others in the party will get jealous.

[Sorye HK]

Keep using bitter items makes the pokemon dislike taking
items from you.

[omarfr]

I have an idea how about their is a desert that is boiling and you have to carry water to drink or you will faint

[Sorye HK]

That gives me another idea. How about intorducing temperature to the system?

Phoenix>>I've uploaded Rocky Bay.jpg. Maybe the problem had
to do with the file having jpg as capitals. Just a guess.

[Sorye HK]

Hey, I've uploaded the emotions thing.
It's just something I added to hunger and tiredness.
The one for the battle system isn't ready yet.
I'm going to delete it after the upload as I haven't
got enough space on my comp to sustain
much stuff.
Here it is:

[Dawson]

Is it just me or did you forget to attach it? Krazy hasn't been on for a few days, I wonder why? Also, Daegon have you PMed DM the Lateralshift info?

[Sorye HK]

Huh? Where's the attachment gone to? I deleted the copy!!!
Guess I'll have to start again. it won't take that long. I'll PM
DM right now.

[PKMN_Sage]

The game looks very promising!

Ummm... has there been a name for this game, because if there has, could someone tell me?

[RM2K3kid]

Nice.... Do you still need a hand with the maps? I'm willing to help!

[Dawson]

Daegon, I didn't think we were showing the site to the public yet? I thought we were using that to put all the work together on the game, but it's your call
PKMN_Sage, we don't have a name as of yet, but I do have an idea of what it should be. I think Krazy had the same idea at the start of the thread, it's Pokemon *new region* journey/adventure/story/without any of these. Because that way it is guaranteed to be an original name...
rm2k3kid, yeah you can help with the maps. The more good map makers we have the better!

[RM2K3kid]

Great! Just tell me what you would like me to do!

[Sorye HK]

It was my brother who posted the site. I've deleted that post.
Let's show the site when it's a bit more presentable.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Sorry for not being on for a while guys... I have had a lot of stuff to do..
I will upload what I have done tomorrow (just like a demo sort of.. for people who require the battle for their demo's)
Anyway I had better go to bed soon, I have to start work at 9 :( Don't like getting up in the mornings... I like your suggestions about jelousy(sp?) and other stuff.. but I will have to change the batlle system for that to work when you deposit/withdraw your pokemon. It will be done in due time.. Maybe I should have left more space in between variables.. Oh well.. I might include some kind of mood thing as well.. Like PMS pokemon lol... Sorry I shouldn't have said that

[Sorye HK]

Hey, when the emotion system is finsished and the battle system's
finished I'll implement it myself as I feel like I've been giving you so
much work. In my opinion, you deserve a break.
Anyway, glad to here about the upload tommorow!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Are you sure Daegon? I was going to change the PC thing anyway so that it auto-loads/saves variables for pokemon and I just had to change the list..
I would like a bit of a rest... I think I have lost my enthusiasm for the battle system.. I just need to get away from it for a little bit, then I will be ready to tackle it again. :)
A lot of problems are arising because we didn't talk about which types of variables we would need and how many of them. Maybe we should.. not do that again

[rebellee1187]

I have a question about the "Demo" that was to be released soon. Will this demo just have the basic battle system like from the games, or will it feature all those extras like the "mood" and "Hunger" systems.

I just want the most basic one... If possible...

But in any event, keep up the good work!

[Dawson]

it will just be a basic demo. You will have to add in all the Pokemon and attacks etc. manually.
rm2k3kid, if you could make a map for the new region then we can build up from there. It's got to have at least one island town though because I've already done that.

[Auriok_Steelshaper]

A demo...tomorrow, that lights up my day seeing as i go back to school tomorrow. I can't wait! :)

[Sorye HK]

Ok, Krazy finish up the PC and battle system then I'll
do the custom stuff. I'm sure it won't take that long. Anyway,
if you guys need a break in between this project take one.
It's summer vacation and the time given is meant to be
for relaxation. maybe I should enforce that in my sig.

*note: the emotions thing will not be in the battle system.
The hunger/tiredness thing I don't know.

[RM2K3kid]

If you mean draw one sure! How many towns/cities do you want?

EDIT: Here are two regions that I made ages ago, use these If you like them!(As you can see the regions link at the middle :classic: ). Tell me when I should start making towns, routes, insides etc.

[Sorye HK]

Well you can start immediately! Talk to our other map makers
for example phoenix and choose what part you guys are going
to make!

[Dawson]

I like the idea of two regions and the way they link to each other and the maps look great. However, there are 27 cities/towns altogether and that sounds like a lot to me. We already have the a possible starting town but you can have a go at making one as well if you want. I think the starting town should be the one furthest lest on the first map and then go upwards and we can build maps from there. When you have completed a map post it at the lateralshift site and not here.

[PokeReaper]

I would like to help with making maps.
I have RM2k.
Would I make the maps on my RM2k & then send the file to you guys, and if so, then how would you like me to do that ?

I really want to help.
I already have R/S chipsets/charsets/etc. AND FR/LG chipsets/charsets/etc., & no one seems to want to help me with MY game, so I may as well help you guys with yours.
Besides, I can't wait until the Battle System & P.C. System is done, but will it work for me & my RM2k ?
I tried to get RM2k3, but it just wouldn't work right.
Well, just let me know guys.
If you want I can just post a town, house, etc. that I've already done.
Later

--- Brian "Phoenix" Davidson

[DarkMage31]

PokeReaper> Sure, you can help. I'll put you down on the list as a map maker right now.

Alright, I'm feeling a little left in the dust, if you know what I mean. It sounds like you guys made great progress without me. Yes, I know some HTML if you need. Those maps look great 2k3kid!

I just had a great idea. We need a graphic for our hero, right? Like a portrait for the introduction scene and any other custscenes we may want to add (not a charset). Here's my idea: How about we ask the Art forum mods if we can open a contest to see who can draw the best original hero for our game? Sound good?

[Dawson]

DM, You back online full time now? The art idea sounds smart, you could probably do it in the spriters club as well. Are we still having new Pokemon in the game as well?

[DarkMage31]

I'll leave that up to the story crew ;)

I'll be online whenever I can, but we're going on a cruise next week for about a week, so I'm going to have to leave again. After that though I should be on full time again! :)

I'll PM one of the art mods to clear it with them.

[Sorye HK]

Leaving again? Well, have fun!

[PKMN_Sage]

DM, leaving again... so soon? Well, I would leave too if I was going on a cruise. :)

Anyways, have fun!

[Happy Gilmore]

Sounds like a good idea DM. Should we offer the winner a cameo in the game, or somthing like that as more of an incentive?

[RM2K3kid]

Anyway I'll get a few maps done for you later tonight... Oh and for posting the maps on the lateralshift site, you'll have to PM me and tell me how I go about it! I've reduced the amount of towns/cities on the first map if you want to use that one please tell me :) . DM thats a great Idea!

[Auriok_Steelshaper]

Hey Rm2k3kid, can I use the second map in my game, please?

[RM2K3kid]

If these guys are using it you'll have to ask them not me... But if you draw me a rough map I can make it FR/LG looking map!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Hey guys, I am sorry I couldn't get the upload done last night.. I have dial-up :(
The game file is probably about 2 or 3 MB now..
I will just upload to angelfire or something.. I don't know how I will do this..

[Dawson]

why don't you upload it to the lateralshift site?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

No it's ok. I zipped it down to 1.06Mb so here you guys go!
Click Here! (http://www.angelfire.com/crazy3/krazymeerkat/index2.html)
Or if that doesn't work try using this attatchment!

[Sorye HK]

I've just started downloading. After the download, I'll start evaluating!

--EDIT--

1.After I pressed a button other than attk, I can't start attacking again.
2.That's all from my evaluation.
3.Keep it up!

1.I wonder if we should do something like this:
when you faint, depending on your pokemon's loyalty
to you, they either take you to a guy's house
or they run away and some other guy finds you and takes you
to his house or the PC

[Brittany]

I like it! Its really spiffy!!
Daegon thats a spiffy idea!!

[Sorye HK]

I can't use the withdraw deposit system as I can't catch a pokemon.
Is there a way to catch Latios? If there isn't, I'll just check the event.

--EDIT--

This is an extremely long event.

[rubyrulez]

Ok, I tried using it, but I got 'cannot open Main...' Is there a file I'm missing?

[Sorye HK]

Well, it worked for me. Are you sure there's somrthing wrong?

[rubyrulez]

I tried walking through the grass and it said 'the file main cannot be opened' I don't know if i'm missing a file or not.

[Sorye HK]

Did you download the attachment Krazy uploaded? Because I downloaded that.

[rebellee1187]

Well, it worked fine for me, but I have some questions. For us to use this in our games, what do we have to do to the events in your game. Do we just copy paste or what? Also, what variables/switches/common events do we need to keep clear to avoid issues here?

Played the demo though. It is AWESOMENESS. Once we get the item menu and Pokemon change menu and run away command working it will be godly. You guys ROCK. Much credit will be given in Pokemon Ultimate...

[Sorye HK]

Just paste the maps needed and the events needed. You should probably change the events needed to auto start or parallel.

[RM2K3kid]

I made a route and a Town just tell me how to get them to you!

[Booda Sack]

All i could do was attack once,I couldnt open the bag,once I had attacked I couldnt run away.
Looks good though just need to sort out the bugs.
Just some questions.
Will the battle system have E.V's and I.V's and will it have STAB bonuses aswell?

[Sorye HK]

Yes it should. But I don't know when that'll be finished. Anyway, after the battle system's finished, I'll sort the variables out more neatly and my parts to it. Also, Meerkat since you've released a demo of this, take some rest.
I insist.

[PokeReaper]

Now, how should I get the maps to you?

Also, just let me know what kind of town, er whatever you're looking for.
I made a town for my game that gets there power from an oil rig type thing, &, well, you'd just have to see it.
You guys can use it, if you want to, & I'll just re-arrange it a little bit.

Right now I gotta get dressed for work, but I'll post it later, er however you want to get it.

Later.

[Dawson]

you could PM one of us and then we'll post it on the lateralshift site or wait for daegon to pm you the password.

[PokeReaper]

Alright.-- I was just wnodering.
Thanx for that reply, Phoenix.
By the way: I'm a pro-wrestler in Indiana that performs under the nam "Phoenix".

[DarkMage31]

I played it. the CBS still locks up whenever you chose an option other than "Fight." I love the "Bzz, I'm a computer" dude! That was a real lol moment!

[Sorye HK]

Hey, krazy, you know the item system I showed you a long time ago?
I've decided to go with that as I can't remember the other way.
Hope you don't mind.

[Sorye HK]

Ok. Here's the item system. It's only been done a bit.
Give=Give me
Take=Take from me

If you have more than 1 of the same item, the system won't work.
I haven't done that part yet.

[RM2K3kid]

I added the two maps to the lateralshift site! Tell me what you think of them and how I could improve them.

[Dawson]

they look great rm2k3kid. The only improvement I can think of is to edit the colors of the houses to give it more of a new style.

[RM2K3kid]

sure i'll do that :D ! Then i'll upload the chip to the site.

[Sorye HK]

Maybe you should make more space around the gym.
If you see the games, they always have some space
surrounding them. (green grass, sand, etc) Also, I think
the houses should have green roofs to match their surrounding,
or make the houses bigger in width. I think 4 tiles are a bit too small.
I like everything else!

[Fox_Die]

When I try to load it it says that the file hero 2 can not be loaded, where can I get the file hero 2?

[Sorye HK]

Change the hero2 file with a different charaset. That's how I did it.

[Avatar]

Well I tried out the battle system, it's good so far, besides the bug after you attack once, which some of you have already stated.

Anyways if you need help with any sprites and some mapping I could help out, :)

[Sharpedo]

Looks great. I'm already busy setting it in my game. You will be on my credits screen, i can assure you guys. Keep up the great work your doing.

[Dawson]

Avatar you can do some maps if your willing to.

[Avatar]

Avatar you can do some maps if your willing to.

Ok ill see what I can whip up :shocked:

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Ok first thing's first. Thanks so much everyone for all your good comments :D
I know about the bug where you press on pkmn or bag and it doesnt work. this is because of switches, I just haven't got around to doing those parts yet.. EXP works, leveling up works, HP works, and the PC storage thing works!
Ok Firstly, you should probably know something about switches and variables if you are gonna use this in your game.

To use the PC, you will have to get into a battle.. got it? then when nothing is happening (when it is your turn), press F9 and go into the variables part. just scroll right because otherwise you would have to go through lots of variables. anyway go to a variable called ITEMUSE i think... then make it's value 1.
after you have done this press escape a few times to go back to the battle. This will have activated the pokeball item. then after you catch a few, you can go to the PC and withdraw/deposit them, once your party is full and you catch another latios, it should be sent to your PC through a system of variables.. then no more should be sent after your PC is full. ok i am done, thats how you use the PC


Who was it that said the run away option didn't work??? It works! **** well infact. I made it pause for a few seconds then determine to runaway or not.

[rebellee1187]

So as far as the battle/PC goes, it only includes the two Pokemon found in this demo? Would I have to add one million more lines of code for all 386 monsters, or is it already ready for that?

[Dizzy]

Well you can start immediately! Talk to our other map makers
for example phoenix and choose what part you guys are going
to make!

*Shocked* you didn't tell me this was a "game" If I can like help with anything please let me know

BTW I'm slow so if this is like ultimately late just let me know.

[RM2K3kid]

Ahhh guys I just reuploaded the maps again and I changed the color of the roofs and changed the maps slightly. I hope you like them :nervous: .

[Happy Gilmore]

Really well done Krazy. You've outdone yourself! :D

[Sorye HK]

Well, the deposit thing works but the withdraw doesn't.
"Which pokemon?
There are x pokemon in box 1."
That's it. Nothing else.

Rm2K3kid, the dots on the houses seem a bit weird.
Could you take them away and make the houses look
as if they were made from wood?

[rebellee1187]

Sorry to have to post again, but no-one answered my question earlier. Does this one battle system work for all 386 creatures, or just the two that could be found in the demo?

And if it does need more coding for the remaining Pokemon, what would I have to do to make it work?

[RM2K3kid]

I'll get to it daegon! Oh and I might do some more maps later if thats alright?

[Dawson]

rebelle1187: You have to add the rest of the Pokemon yourself.
rm2k3kid: you can do as many maps as you feel possible.
When I've done my demo I'll make some more maps myself.

[Sorye HK]

Phoenix is right. Do as many maps as you wish.

[Dawson]

You know, the battle system has a LOAD of useful stuff. Before now I'd just played through the battles on the game but now I've actually started to look and work onto it. This thing can be expanded BIG TIME. I wouldn't have minded if this had been the final version let alone a demo. OK enough of the praise now.
Krazy, when you start working on the battle system for our game, let me know because I wanna help out a lot more this time.

[Sorye HK]

that's good to hear phoenix. I'm sure Krazy will be pleased to hear that.

[Mephias]

im learning how to use rm2k right now but im learning quick and tomorrow im off so comp 24/7!!...lol not really but ill be learning and ive got the hang of most stuff.. So if you need help with anything id be glad to do it

[Sorye HK]

Well, I'll be glad if someone ripped all the pokemon sprites from the game
and made them suitable for RM2K.
(The pictures of the pokemon sprites in battle-white colour part transparent)

[PokeReaper]

I can only get on the net real late at night right now, but I have Today, tomorrow, and the next day off of work so starting tomorrow morning I will have some maps uploaded on the lateralshift site.
A fair warning though: All of my "chipsets & that kinda' stuff" got "accidentally" erased, thus I have started all over, but I still have alot of stuff left so it shouldn't take long.
I have a .BMP of that one town I was talking about, but I don't have time to upload it right now. [VERY slow net connection]
Later.

Brian Harley Davidson

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Sure phoenix :) Next I will probably be working on the Item system.
Rebellee, I was only making the battle system, not the PC system. I included a small PC system which could be expanded on because the battle needs one. I will be re-modelling our one later, the public will have to make their own if they are not content with what is there.
And also, how could you make a pokemon with 386 pokemon in it and not expect millions of lines of coding??

[Mephias]

o man thats gonna be so bad...o man just thinkin of that makes my head hurt thats gonna be a hard task. but this pc crew seems to be doing fine with the CBS

[Sorye HK]

You'd have to add about 380 if conditions
and show picture events more to add all the pokemon
to Krazy's battle system.

If Pok1=1
show picture: Bulbasuar

For every pokemon...

[rebellee1187]

I have no idea Crazy, guess I wasn't thinking. And thanks Daegon, now I know how to continue. I look forward to the item/full PC system!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

That's why I put Else cases everywhere. I will do up a little tutorial for adding in attacks/pokemon to the battle when I have the time, it is almost time for me to go to school.

[Sorye HK]

You've started school? Well, during the meantime, I should work on the item system.

[Sorye HK]

Well, here's a demo of the item system. However, if you only pick 3 items,
some combinations will not work. I haven't added the scrolling loop and quantity
for every item in this one. Tell me if there are any other bugs I should work on.
Also, since I haven't modified the charasets, you should check the events
to see how the pictures should look.
Or a better way of inputting the events. If you've fixed the 3 item bug,
tell me how or upload the file please.

[Sorye HK]

Well, I've fixed all the bugs that were in the other one and made the events
a whole lot easier to understand and shorter. All I have to do is add the scrolling
event and the event to go to other sections of the bag. (should I do the latter or
should I leave it to you guys?) I'm progressing faster than I thought.

[Mephias]

system 2c cant be opened on your new one...i also cant get the pokemon battle system to work its cant open something to ill edit my post later with it

[Sorye HK]

Change the system file to the file 'default.'

[Mephias]

now default cant be opened...
-edit-
and the pokemon battle system it says cannot open file PokeRuby1

[Sorye HK]

Try using this. I've changed the file default to a .xyz.

Anyway, if this doesn't work, change the system file to one that works
for you. (preferably RTP)

And if you've got no system file that works for you wait for the
final release. This one's lacking things.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I'm doing up a tutorial now for the battle sys. I am going to add an attack called Leer.. unfortunately I forgot that I gave the enemy pokemon no special abilities lol. It doesn't have a defence...
Anyway I will just make it raise our attack temporarily. ehehe nobody will be able to tell the difference.
I am d/l ing your item system daegon i will tell you how it goes.
OK... I pressed escape and it said the file numbers2 cannot be opened... Good start but there is still a fair bit which needs to be done lol, just like the battle sys.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Hey everyone, I had typed my last post like an hour ago but i just hadn't clicked on submit reply lol.. I'm a fool.. Anyway everyone I have good news, it took me a while but I completed a tutorial on how to add attacks to the database of the battle sys. More will be done later but the attacks are done now.. It has not been tested yet though! it should work but please don't be angry if it doesn't...

[Sorye HK]

krazy, does that mean you haven't seen the results of the events?
I can post the sys file with all the files again if you or anyone else wishes.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

krazy, does that mean you haven't seen the results of the events?
I can post the sys file with all the files again if you or anyone else wishes.
no no, it's ok. I copied one from pokemon liquid..
Anyway Nothing appeared when I opened the menu.. I had no idea what the variables were doing because I wasn't in test mode..

[Sorye HK]

Oh, sorry then. I'll try to upload the files properly next demo.

[Sharpedo]

Hey everyone,

I've a question about changing party pokémon in the game. Example:You have 1 torchic and a wingull how can u switch between those to, that the wingull is on the 1st place and is used as first Pokémon in the battle?

[Sorye HK]

Well, I've been thinking about some code for the pokemon selection screen
and this might help you Sharpedo.

First you set up a parallel event and save all your pokemon's data in backup variables.
Copies of the original data of your pokemon.

Then you make variables called select poke1 select poke2 and so on.
Then when you want to change the pokemon you do something like this.

Change variable poke1 with poke2 backup (changing the pictures)
change variable poke1data to poke 2data backup (changing data-there should be loads of these)

Well, this is just a thought. I thought of it while making the item system.

[Sharpedo]

Ok thanks. The backup variables are the variable operations? or do i have to call some variables backup.

[Sorye HK]

No. You have to call the variables backup.

Variable "backup" set equal to variable "original"

Something like that.

[DarkMage31]

In my spare time, I've been fooling around with the Pokemon selection screen I've been comissioned to do :) I think it's coming along okay.

Krazy Meerkat> Do you mind if I spiff that readme up a little bit? Also, using your wording, should I make a .doc with screenshots and pictures for those less experienced? I think that would be a good idea.

[Avatar]

Krazy Meerkat> Do you mind if I spiff that readme up a little bit? Also, using your wording, should I make a .doc with screenshots and pictures for those less experienced? I think that would be a good idea.

Make the newbie and advanced tutorials with pictures both, even if your VERY good at RM2k3 it is still quite a help to see it in a screenshot, because sometimes I do something wrong when I try some tutorials because they are so badly explained, etc.

[DarkMage31]

I'll work on it as soon as I get KM's consent.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yeah sure go ahead DM, I have never been good with explaining things :)
Sharpedo, Well I was thinking of using an extra (spare) set of variables for switching.
I would just make all the data from the first pokemon be copied into the spare one, then copy the second pokemon's data into the first one and fill up the second one with the spare data.
Meh.. At least I understand it.. :P
I agree with you on the screenshots thing DM, I get a little confused when I miss something and then the tutorial just keeps going on without helping me solve my problem :(
EDIT: Has anyone tried using the tutorial yet? I am not even sure if it works, feedback would be nice if anyone has used it :(

[Sorye HK]

Well, I managed to take a glance at the file but the first time I saw it, I thought
the text was too small so I just closed it in frustration. (It was 7 in the morning and
I hadn't slept) Now, I saw it again today after I slept and the file won't open.
Something about an error.
Anyway, I'll try and learn by myself how to do stuff. I'm already fiddling around with it.

-EDIT-

The item system file seems to have been deleted and the HD formatted.
I'm looking for the backup disk right now. I'll have to code in scrolling loop
though and I forgot how to do that! I guess I'll just spend another couple
of days figuring it out.

[Dawson]

yeah i tried it, it works up untill the last 4 or 5 lines. I can't remember properly but I think if you want the Pokemon to have the attack then it overwrites tackle.

[Sorye HK]

I finally finished the scrolling problem! It took me about 4 or 5 days to complete but I've finally done it!
*runs around the room*
All I have to do is add the finishing touches.
Anyway, how many items does the "items" section of the bag hold?
Just need to know that. I think it was 20 but I can't remember.

[Dawson]

20 sounds about right. Are you doing it in R/S style or FR/LG?

[Avatar]

The maxium items is 20 I think, like you said, but the maxium ammount of the same item that can be stored in one space is 99, when it goes above 99, it creates a new space for the item, and fills that up.

[Fox_Die]

Anyway, how many items does the "items" section of the bag hold?Just need to know that. I think it was 20 but I can't remember.^ Yeah, I just checked my GBA and it is 20. I never noticed until now that when you move up and down in the item screen the bag shakes, and there is this thing that spins around when you switch between the bag sections.

[DarkMage31]

Great. I"ll start working on it soon. Congrats Daegon!

[Sorye HK]

20 sounds about right. Are you doing it in R/S style or FR/LG?

I was trying to do it in FR/LG. Well, I've just got to add the events for 20
items but I haven't got the charsets to make 99 for each for the time being.
Thx for the info guys!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

yeah i tried it, it works up untill the last 4 or 5 lines. I can't remember properly but I think if you want the Pokemon to have the attack then it overwrites tackle.
Yeah, that's because that is for making attacks in attack slot 1, you can easily make adjustments for other attack slots.. I'm not sure if I have done coding for more attack slots.. Anyway this is the first demo of the sys so please cut me a bit of slack, I have already fixed a few bugs with it..
I will make sure the next version has coding for all attack slots... I am having a rest from coding so I can't really remember EVERY little detail :(

Good work daegon :) I am glad you have gotten so much work done!
DM, do you have any idea when the pokemon switching thing will be done?

need sleep now, cya later..
P.S. I have work tomorrow so I may not post much.

[DarkMage31]

Absolutely no idea whatsoever. I don't really work on it very much, though I have done some things. It really depends on how much you want put into it. My priority has recently become Lunar though. I'll work on it here and there.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Whatever's more important.
Anyway I am missing out on info... Has daegon's item sys advanced any further..?
I would like to help you out daegon, if possible. I have been itching to code something for a while.. I can do some of the coding for the looping item select thing.

[Sorye HK]

Well, I'm back from a 2 day holiday.
Krazy, I'll get the 20 items done then I'll upload what I've done so far.
You can carry on with it. I'm sure there's a few bugs though. I
don't think I can do alot more because I'm only allowed to code for about
30 mins a day. All the coding's made my eyesight terrible...I have to eat
25 carrots a day.

[Booda Sack]

Lol eating carrots to improve your vision is only ww2 propaganda.

[Sorye HK]

My mum thinks it works so, I'm eating.
Anyway, I've had my eyes checked and it seems that my
eyesight hasn't deteriorated much at all. My time on the
computer's decreased though.

Ah, I hate it when parents do stuff like that. It's not logical, there's no way to verify or justify it's validity, and the rule (less computer) is only to protect you from a threat that doesn't exist. Ah, the misery of being a minor.

I'm not sure about carrots being propaganda though. Isn't there some science behind it?

Alright, let's not stay off topic for too long... ;)

[Sorye HK]

Ok. I'll get back on topic after this. Anyway, my parents are saying
that the Vitamin A in carrots are good for your eyes.

*back on topic*

Well, here's the item system done for 20 items.
I haven't finished the coding (which I could have done)
but I'm sure Krazy can figure this out real quick.
The coding's done in a very easy to pick up pattern.
Tell me if there's any missing files. I'll upload them here.

--EDIT--

I've reuploaded the bug free item sys.

[Sorye HK]

I thought that it was a bit too rude just leaving all the work
for Krazy to do so I tidied up the variables and did a bit more coding.
Anyway, you'll have to finish all 20 events on the second line. (I only did 8)
Also, you'll have to finish the coding for event 31 and finish the other scrolling codes.
(only did scrolling events 34 35 57 58)
My idea coding for scrolling is in 31 34 35 57 58. Talk to the weird guy on the screen. Press ESC to go to the first map.
I couldn't edit my post for some reason so I'm uploading this here.

*note: the item system is not yet compatible for 20 items*

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Thats great daegon! I only just tested the other item sys and you have done a good job. I will do a simple looping code for the items, that way, when you scroll down, only a small piece of coding will be needed to move the pictures.. not now though, i have work tomorrow, then two days off school! yay

[Sorye HK]

Well, that's good news! I couldn't handle the looping code.
Anyway, thanks!

i have ripped the battle font for making names and more(from r/s rom)
feel free to use it

[Dirty Little Secret]

When do you all think the battle system will be done?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

umm.. that was nice of you, but i had the r/s font a long time ago and i was the first one here at PC to develop the pokemon-style CNS.. so it is all done now

[Sorye HK]

While you're figuring out the scrolling event, I'll carry on with the events.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Daegon, I really don't mean to offend you, but I was totally confused by your item system.. There was like 50 events... I could barely understand how I was meant to change the numbers into item names.. It looked like your item-display event was packed with coding, I thought you might need to simplify it a little bit.. I also think you used far too many lines of coding for the variables... Most of it doesn't make sense to me.. But I will whip you up a little scrolling event because you are a good friend..

I will put this to you straight Daegon, I have been offered another bag system for use in the battle system and I don't want you to work anymore on this item system (unless you can make it simpler and more efficient) because I don't want you to do a whole heap of work for nothing when there is a much simpler way to do things. If I can understand this new bag system and can easily code it to fit our battle then I will most likely use it (if your system is still incomplete). But if I don't decide to use it then I will be more than happy to continue working on the current one with you.. I don't mean to hurt your feelings or offend you in any way, I just can't work with this system at the current point in time, and I would like to try something new.

I will upload the item system when I have completed your scrolling event.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Sorry for the wait, I went to sleep then school. Ok I have done the scrolling event and fixed up a few little things, sorry for what I said about your sys, it is good. I figured out what was going on and here is what I have done:
P.S. I also added a little snippet of coding (to the battle) to show the hero's HP gradually decreasing.

[Sorye HK]

Hey, if that system's better than mine, use it!
It's my fault for making it complicated.

Nice scrolling event by the way.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I wouldn't say better, just more advanced. This one has been worked on longer than yours. Anyway I have already started work on it, I have done half of the scrolling event and I just need to do the one which moves the items up when you press down..

And thanks :) You did a good job with the system.

[Sorye HK]

And thanks You did a good job with the system

thx. I'm waiting to see the results of the other other item system and how it's
implemented. GOOD LUCK!

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I'm having a bit of trouble with the item sys.. I can't figure out how I am going to display the items... I am using a switch for which item is held.. then variables for how much of the item is held and which item slot it is in.. I'm just not sure how I can put all of this together without millions of lines of coding

[Krazy_Meerkat]

ehehehe... I did it guys :P
You can have up to 30 of each item and you can have 10 or 11 items.. I havent done the second part of the scrolling event and I don't think I will because I am not very much good mucking about with pictures...
I also made it so that when you select an item, it displays a discription of the item (which was already half-done (thanks mena:)))
I will do some more work tomorrow but there isn't much left..

P.S. I can go for my learners tomorrow :P But I think I might go to school... Not sure..
*Yay I will be able to legally drive my car*

Will you be able to carry more than 30 of each item when its completely done?

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Umm... I wasn't really planning on it, There is up to 60 graphics of numbers so I suppose you could go up to 60, I am only doing the coding for 30 of each because I think that's a reasonable amount and If you want more, code more yourself, thats what the battle sys is all about :)

Yeah I was just wondering, well I dont really need it to be 99 of each, but could be useful.

I'll probaly code it myself then, when I put it in my game :)

:) it's relatively easy to code, just takes a long time.

Oh ok then, so ill probaly just be spending the time copy&pasting? ;)
