DDD:

Alright, so I asked previously about Terrain Tags and the reflecting water, which was fixed.

Now I'm trying to get footprints left in sand to work. I'm using the generic yellow sand (not an autotile for me) and the terrain tag is 3, but it's still not leaving footprints behind. Any help?

To anyone who asks about making tilesets:
MSPaint.

No need to thank me. But if you use this please give credit. :D *shot*

To Archayos:
Try having the sunbeams under a different Picture ID. If that fixes it, there may be a script that uses that position for some reason. If that doesn't fix it, Poccil has probably tampered with something causing as much bust as me with the transparent water. :<

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.

Well, I got my starterkit in Early March and never ever upgraded it before(I was expecting to run some .exe file to upgrade but now I know I might have to do everything manually).

JJM: I think the editor only works when you already have a saved game.

but i have a seved game... AND IT STILL DOSN'T WORK!!!

I'm sorry if this question is asked already..!
but when I surf from left to right between 2 connected maps, my player stops surfing when he hits the second map...?!
From right to left it's no problem it keeps surfing but from left to right it stops
How can i overcome this problem?

well, as long as you know what scripts you edited, there are actually 2 ways to upgrade (ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PROJECT, copy the folder to a new one, that way if the upgrade don't work, you still have your project)

one is in the note.html (which is better, but takes longer >.<) and the other is this (and i do not suggest this one becuase every once in a while, poccil will change something that is not just in the scripts):

download the new one, open 2 rmxps (you can open it twice, i've always loved that feature) open your project in 1, and the new sk in the other, then open the script editor in both, then simply replace all the scripts in the old version, with the new ones. then go to the graphics and copy any new graphics in them. (this way is shorter, and i do it when ever i am sure that poccil has not change anything other then scripts are graphics, and he hasn't change anything but scripts and graphics in a while, but if you don't know if there have been other changes, then follow the directions in the note.html file)

Does Pokémon Essentials still support TMs? Or do you have to add that line to pokemon.txt yourself?

it's a bug in the system, just pm poccil with the information on the problem,and he'll fix it in the next release of the game system.

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?

Click to expand...

i would think that all you would have to do is find the thenderstorm script, and put the same new edited script for the shadow where you see the lighting part of the storm script, but i am not sure (so please don't kill me if i'm wrong)



Now for my own question:

The fishing animation is a five-frame animation. It resembles the 16-frame character sprites, but only the first five frames are used. It must be placed in Graphics/Characters/ and must have a filename of "fishingXXX.png", where XXX is a trainer type's ID. Example: fishing000.png

i really don't understand the coment above from the note.html, just what are the fishing sprite sheets supposed to look like? (please help,)

I did read notes.html before asking the question, and even though it says that it supports TMs, in the pokemon.txt file, the line 'Machines=' isn't there anymore. Hence the question.

Also, two of my events continuously loop. The event will finish, and then start all over again, and I don't know why. Also, in the lab scene, two of the Pokéballs on the table refuse to show up.

the ball thing is just weird... can you get a snapshot of them?

the loop, do you have the events on auto run or parallel proses? because if you do, they will keep going until you set a switch in them to turn on the next page of the event, just make a new page in the event, and have it set to a switch (like self switch a or something) then put in an "control switch" or "control selfswitch" command at the end of the event on the page that keeps looping.

and the tm's now have there own txt file now, it's called tm (just remember to put the actual tm item in the items.txt file

How do I make my games screen size change to 276x176 this is needed to make my game look a hell of a lot better!

In SpriteResizer, edit @@width and @@height to 552 and 352 (double 276 and 176). You'll have to change all the graphics though.

Wichu, Is there anyway to make the people look smaller?
And thats it.

What do you mean by that?

as in the character sprite to look like pokemon raptor's sprite size.

Resize your graphics, using photo shop or paint pokemonplatnium, it might take awhile but thts what is need to be done.
