General Game Dev Help and Requests

This is a thread for those who are unfamiliar about how to do some things
in RM2K/3 or know any good links you want to tell the other members
about. Anything else that doesn't need a full thread or debate should also belong here.
I thought it'd be useful having this thread since it's better than cluttering
this section up with threads.

Hm, I don't know. This may be a good idea, or it may not be. We'll see how things work out!

And it's great to have SO many more rm2k members!

Im a real noob at this, and I was wondering how you make rooms and set up warps to enter them?, eg. going into the Pokemon Center, Poke mart, etc

ok, this is different from a pokemon gba hack, you say it "MAPS" and "TELEPORTS"
The way to create a new map, is to right click on an existing map (in the little side bar thing) and select "create new map" then if you want to make a new telelport go into event layer editing mode and right click on the map (not in the side bar) and select "teleport position" or something.. well hope i was of some help

Thanks Satoshi!

And to teleport, just make an event, and for its commands (double click the <>) go to the second tab and find "teleport." Chose the map where you want to teleport to and select the exact coordinate by clicking. Make sure the event is set to "On Hero Touch" and "Below Hero" so when you step over it it'll teleport you.

ok, im wondering how to make it so that my pokemon battle, but my main character dont, and how to customize the menu?

You can have an event that removes you from your party and replaces him with the pokemon. Check out RM2Kemon (www.gamingw.net) and Pokemon Galaxy (same site) to see how to do this.

Menue? Check out my game. There's no current download link because I need to get my site back up, but someone else may be able to give it to you.

To do that I made Pikachu as my main hero, but used a way to fool people to think they were controlling Ash. I used a Password event to do this. (When you press left,
Hero moves left down face left e.t.c) Then Pikachu's stats come up instead of Ash's!

yeh i had your game, and then my comp got mest, so now im try to collect all the files and stuff.

Where can I download your game, Daegon? I'm interested to see how this works!

Pokemon Galaxy? Nooo Ash isnt a hero (well you look like Ash, but.. meh), you control Pikachu (using Ashs graphics to fool you) everytime you go to a shop, it changes the graphics to Pikachu so it looks like Pikachu in the shop window, etc.

My bad, but RM2kemon definately had David as a hero. You can see in the menue. Check that one out. PKMN galaxy is a good one anyway ;)

I've seen long ago RM2kemon, its pretty good, but i think it lacks the feel of the real pokemon games, and the chipsets, but interesting idea considering that the actual game was thrown together in around 2 weeks or so (it says so, and i remember reading it when i downloaded the game)

Yes, it didn't exactly reek quality. But the music was good. I'm using some in Lunar.

Exactly.


Oh and if you need music from the Pokemon games or other games, you should go to www.vgmusic.com they probaly have some.. if you need any that is

Yeah, that's the site I use too: vgmusic.com.

does anybody know how to change the font and text box size in rpg2k3? i need it for my game because the default text box is too big. oh and does anyone know where to download rpg2k3 because my friend wants it and i don't have the installer.

I posted this somewhere else for you... but oh well. I'll say it again:

Just make a picture for your text box (Show Picture command), make your textbox transparent (Message Style command) and only type in the bottom two lines (Show Message command). Work???

which text box do i make transparent? default or custom?

The default one. You can make the custom box (The image) semitransparant if you want. Here's the theory
Bottom>Image of Textbox
Middle>Default textbox graphic, set see-thru
Top>Text, appears over graphic because middle layer is transparant.
