RM2K/3 Pokemon Battle System

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.

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.

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 :)

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. :)

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?

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... :(

lol :) we are all short on time lately

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.

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.

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).

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 :)

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

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

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

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

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.

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 :)

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

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

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