[Shirayuki Mizore]

Erm...Is it fatal to update? It doesn't seem like much has changed, and I don't really want to update unless I need to.

It's not hard to update, all I do is copy the scripts from the Data folder, and if anything else is updated, then I just copy it over (including graphics and such).

[Edit] Poccil, is it possible for you to make it compatible with the latest version of SDK?[/Edit]

Lol, by the looks of things I think you're still somewhat a noob xD

No offense, of course: I'm somewhat a noob myself!

[gotron228]

None taken man anyway Ive decided to create my own game by using his starter kit!

EDIT:Tie for the noob to come out lol how do I change the female character to ahve a different battle back instead of having a male battleback?

[Wichu]

Change section 000 of metadata.txt.

[gotron228]

okay il try that latter rite now im usy

[Lorem Ipsum]

I re-iterate; is there any way I can see attacksRS.dat, or anybody who wishes to help me develop this contest script?

[Devil_Silver]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem when connecting maps with animated tiles.
Such as Sea-tiles.
'Cause when I connect those maps, the animated tiles won't show the same animation on the same moment.
Like when the waves move down on the first map, the waves move up on the other.
And that looks... Well, not good.

If anyone could help me, please do!
If you don't understand what I mean, just tell, I'll upload a screenshot then.

Now that I've added a new type in PBTypes, could you tell me how I can set how effective each type is against another? And anything else there is to know.

[Lorem Ipsum]

It's in the type chart in a move script. Too lazy to open RPGXP

[sinisterbutt]

Lorem, id love to help you out with the contest script, but im only good at graphics and animations lol, so im working on all the attacks for poccil. Id love to help, what do you mean by contest? like the beauty contests in the games?

[Lorem Ipsum]

Like Pokémon contests, where you can have Cool, Beauty, Tough, Smart and Cute. I can't progress any further until I have the RSE contest background and a text version of attacksRS.dat, so I can add the Contest types to the list.

ONOEZ

Hmm, I tried looking for it but failed. Could you give me the name of the script. Lol, I suck at this.

[mad.array]

It's in PokeBattle_Move and it's an array called PBTypeChart

The types go in order (as they are defined inPBTypes) from top to bottom and left to right.

0 = No effect, 1 = Not very effective, 2 = regular damage, 4 = Super effective

So for your new type you will need to add a new line at the bottom of that list with the relative numbe, as well as an extra entry in all of the other lines stating how effective those types are against your new one.

I hope that was thorough enough, I always worry that I'm being too tedious with details.


*EDIT* Actually I've noticed a few weird things about this, there don't seem to be enough entires in the chart... I don't know whether it's just me but there are 18 types (including the ??? one) and only 16 entries in each line...

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Hey, I don't get all that stuff (), so what was updated? Just scripts?

[poccil]

Devil_Silver:

The problem you describe is inherent in the original Tilemap class. Fortunately, I've managed to create a replacement that synchronizes the autotile animation in connected maps. It will be part of the next release.

[rubyrulez]

You guys (Flameguru and poccil) are absolute geniuses. I love your system, it has inspired me to get back into game making using your starter kit as a base.

What was once an empty shell of a game can now become complete, thank you :)

You mean, you're actually making all the move animations?

Damn... that's awesome!

If you need any help, I'll be glad to assist you. I'm fairly solid at Photoshop, so I'm useful for anything graphical ^.^

[Devil_Silver]

Oh, glad to hear that the problem will be solved in the next release!

You guys are really good!

Thanks, I understand fully now . It's line 78 - 94, so that's 17, not 16. But there should be one more type, shouldn't there? And I don't think ??? counts as one....

[Firemaker]

There are 18 types. (including ???)

• 1. Normal
• 2. Dragon
• 3. Flying
• 4. Ground
• 5. Fighting
• 6. Rock
• 7. Ghost
• 8. Psychic
• 9. Dark
• 10. Fire
• 11. Electric
• 12. Water
• 13. Ice
• 14. Grass
• 15. Steel
• 16. Bug
• 17. Poison
• 18. ???

I'd like to say thanks for making such an indepth and realistic battle system and sharing, causing the 'pokemon community' to grow closer together.

I can help in photoshop if needed. No sense in everyone paying if only a few can.

Edit: In the typing script, right above the type chart, there is a physical/special section that controls which are special and which are physical. The numbers are equal to the PBTypes script.

[Devil_Silver]

Oh Poccil, I have all battle pictures from Pokémon Pearl and Diamond, if you'd like I can upload them so you can add them into the next release or somethin'?
