Yeah, that's what I do. It also makes updating easier, as I just have to replace the unedited starter kit, then replace whatever files are needed in my game. Usually, it's just the scripts.

Hey all, I've been lookin' around for a while for a good way to make a Pokemon game other than hacking and this seems to be a good bet. I DL'd the latest version (June. 2008) but the only problem is, I have no idea how it works or how to use it! I played through and it's absolutly amazing but I don't know how I can get my own game started. So my question is, it there a noob tutorial or something? I can assure you, it's not a bad thing that it's falling into my hands here. I have experience with GML and some bits of RPGXP's script language (can't remember what it's called, Ruby, maybe? :P). So can anyone help?

Do you have RPG Maker XP? This kit is not a standalone program, like with hacking, but is actually a project for RPG Maker XP. Oh, and you were pretty close with the programming language. Its a modified form of Ruby known as RGSS.

Wow, the copying thing sound good to me. Mapping Pokemon games is a specialty of mine. ;D
And yes, I do have RPG Maker XP, not-hacked, official full version. :D

Oh RGSS, that's the one. xP, Thanks Glitch.

Hi,

I tried to put a script to modify the hour in the game, but I have some problems with it.

Here it is :

Spoiler:

I want to call the function pbHourIsSet? in a if by doing "if !$PokemonHour.pbHourIsSet?" but when I run the game, it says me

Spoiler:

Does anybody see the problem?

NO its not to you. I'm asking in general if anyone has the attacks.html that notes.html says to look at for adding new tm's and hm's.

go to the intro, find the part where it asks if your a boy or girl, then put this in
Comment: initializes player 0 (PlayerA)
script: pbChangePlayer(0)
comment: Shows the character's picture
script: pbShowPicture(2,pbGetPlayerGraphic,1,230,160)

but change them to fit your game.

thank you, but only the title screen shows up, says to click start, *click*, then it just goes and starts the game -_- i dont get to pick my characters name, figure, i dont talk to professor oak or anything :(

chaostres403 · Jun 17, 2008

I know why. Make the starting position anywhere on the intro map instead of the place the game really starts at.

fudgy · Jun 17, 2008

thank you ! lol that was simple explanation :)!

EDIT: i got a new error :( ill just take a pic and then post it in this post once i edit it

here is the error :(

when i was walking out of the room to go downstairs. -_-

then when you got the starter kit, you probably deleated ALL the maps, and forgot to leave the intro map. redownload the starter kit, copy the intro map, and place it in your project, then make sure that the player starting position is on that map.

go to the encounter file, and change the encounters of that map so that there arn't any, because the encounters for that map are set to cave, which is cousing pokemon battles to apear, when you have no pokemon. that's what that error means. (if you need help with your game, pm me, i could help salve the problems if you want.)

sonic smash down · Jun 17, 2008

im sorry if someone already asked this but where is the exact line in poccil's scripts that allows you to change the starting postion of your character to match my maps? cant find exactly which script.

Flameguru · Jun 17, 2008

Go to the Intro Map and edit the only event on the map. Near the end, it will have a teleport, change it to the starting area (usually a room).
