[Archive] Pokemon Essentials: Starter Kit for RPG Maker XP

[yaoimutt]

That's what I've thought about before, but I just can't find the script to delete a Pokemon in the trainer's party in the instruction document. I'd appreciate it very much if you could tell me how to delete a certain Pokemon.

read wichu's message, he gave the coding to do a trainer event.

 

[Archayos]

I don't know how to help you with your problem, but when I look at it it makes me think that the clouds have just moved and its a bit darker and more light is coming through the clouds. I actually like what it is doing.

Heh, yeah, but it's not exactly sweet. It'd look good if it were to fade into the denser opacity, but this is an abrupt change. Looks very weird.

anyway, can you get a screen shot to show how you have the event set up? because that might help.

It's just a Show Picture command in a parallel process. |:
It's happening to every image of mine, so I doubt it's a problem with my event codes...

Thank you very much, dude, this really helps. However, I got an error message stating:

Exception: RuntimeError

I don't know what's wrong with it and I'd thank you very much if you can help me solve this issue. Besides, can I simply edit the scripter to make it look completely the same with the new pokemon essential to get the same effect as upgrading? Have a good day!

 

[partyghoul2000]

ok, go to the editore, then to pokebattle_battle (not pokebattle_battler)
then add the pokeball name to the first list you see (it's at the top) then search (ctrl and f) for PBItems::GREATBALL then copy one of the codings,like this one:

when PBItems::GREATBALL
rareness=(rareness*3/2).floor

Note: the first number is ALWAYS bigger then the second, not inluding the masterball [where the numbers are the same])

or if you want the ball to be better at catching certain types of poke, just copy on of the others and edit it as well, like this one:

when PBItems::NETBALL
rareness*=3 if battler.pbHasType?(PBTypes::BUG) || battler.pbHasType?(PBTypes::WATER)

which is better for bug and water types, (it's only 2 lines, but this box is to small so it looks like 3)

omg, thank you, thank you. you have helped loads. :D this kinda stuff should be put into the faq section of note.html or something. >.>

 

[ali madan]

hey poccil, I have a thing that you have not done. The ice and water pressure. Just like the Ice in pokemon Silver and the the water pressure in Pokemon Rube and Sappire.

And guys, Every time I try to fly I just can't. When I go to the map and I press on the place nothing happen. My Map Data:

Filename=map.png
Point=9,13,ٍShimori Town,,33,11,14,30

o.0 have you tride as a fog?

and poccil, i noticed something very odd about the trainer events, they don't let you have more then 2 pages, ( Trainer(0) not included for some reason)

Copy and paste into a new script. Then use

pbChoosePokemon(1,3)
var=$game_variables[1]
if $Trainer.party[var].species==PBSpecies::BUIZEL
species=PBSpecies::CHATOT
nick="Charrap"
trainer="Norton"
pbStartTrade(var,species,nick,trainer)
end

in a script event command. This example is a copy of the first trade event in D/P, so you should edit the Pokémon names, nicknames and OT name.

Thank you very much for this. The trading event is fairly important for my game and I'm looking forward to getting it done. Besides, I still get an error like this:

Exception: RuntimeError

Besides, I don't really know how to upgrade the version of pokemon essentials at all but can I just simply copy and replace all the scripts from the scripter in the newest version to my game to get the same effect as upgrading? Please give me an answer and thanks again1

by the way, i've been wandering, why don't you just upgrade you're sk?

Well, it's fairly risky to follow the instructions in the note.html of creating a merged project since there're just too much modified scripts, pics and even audios in my game(I tried once and the game collapsed). In this way, I'd prefer simply modifying the scripter to add the new features into the game (Unless someone claims to upgrade the game for me but I don't expect this to happen).

yeah, that would suck. >.< what all did you modify? do you know off hand? because if you do then i MIGHT (heavy on the might) be able to help.

now for my own problem that is REALLY starting to get on my nerves,

i made a trainer event. and saved, then i played the game, and found out that i needed to change the spelling of some words on the second page of the event, so i went and edited them. BUT for some reason, no matter how many times i try, the game will not esept the changes, it keeps the original text on the second page, but in the editor, it has the new text, what's going on? and how do i fix this?

 

[Hall Of Famer]

I don't know about this but I did add the Pbtrading script and copy the codes from this webpage to the scripter: http://upokecenter.com/projects/pokestarter/changed-2008-05-02.txt

Now all I want to ask is that if I replace all the original scripts with those newly modified codes from this link, will my game be completely upgraded to the newest version? Or I have to follow the instruction in the note.html file(I might have to seek for help if it only works this way)? I'd appreciate it very much if you can tell me about it.

 

[Wichu]

Depends on how old your current version is. And that's not the latest one anyway. You'll have to do that with all the update dates since your version, up to http://upokecenter.com/projects/pokestarter/changed-2008-05-26.txt.

I see. Thank you very much for this. So all I need to do is to replace the original scripts with these codes from your link, right?

Do anyone know it?

 

[sHiZ-NaX]

Just a quick question, Does anyone know how i could modify the sqripts to make the resolution of the game 288X216? and also get rid of the option to change the resolution?
Thanks

 

[pkmn.master]

That's because Postality Knight's edition is an illegal free translation of the Japanese version, and is an older version. That's why the default scripts are Japanese, and you can't read the help file. Try downloading the official version of RPG Maker XP and using your RPG Maker VX activation code on it. (They use the same activation system, so it usually works)

....................yes it worked.thanx glitch finder=)

 

[Wichu]

The screen size is specified in the script section SpriteResizer. But you'll need to double your numbers, as the RMXP engine, as you know, uses double the Pokémon resolution. So you should set it as 576x432. In the script PokemonMap, find @screensize=1 and change it to @screensize=0. You'll have to edit PokemonOption to stop the player resizing it.

Hi,

I need some help. I've modified a script to put a shadow for the player. I usually use it during sunny days, but I would like to use it during rainstorm, when there is a flash. Does someone know how to check if there is a flash?
I thought about putting something like

Spoiler:

def self.pbFlash?
return true if rnd<4
return false
end

in PokemonWeather.
But obviously it doesn't work when I try to call it, because rnd is not defined in def self.pbFlash?

Does somebody have a solution to my problem?

 

[Exiled~Shadow]

cool idea but no sorry, im not very good with script's

 

[partyghoul2000]

i would like to add another pocket or two to the item bag. how would one go about doing this?
