ANYWAY, now that it's clear that Im still here, I would just like to tell you that I AM still working on the project. I have quite a big progress report for you guys. First of all, I would like to tell you that my CNS had a few bugs in it which i fixed, and... wait for it... *drum roll* I have finally added LOWER CASE!!!!!!! yay, that's 4 hrs work out of the way. now, Daegon I couldn't use your fomulas because I couldnt understand them.. I made up my own.. but they are similar to yours.. i think. it was based on level and I put in the FEROCITY thing i was tinkering with.. I now have two more maps, one is the intro, and the other is a test map. It will allow you to receive a pokemon, name it, re-name it if you wish, battle with other pokemon, heal your pokemon, gain levels and experience. I really went far with this.. Please do remember that I am still working on it, I just had to go for a while. Couldn't go on the net where i was. The test map is just for people who don't know how to do certain things like heal at a pokecenter, re-name pokemon, receive pokemon, and get into a battle. I have also completed the "RUN" choice in the battle, It will be a bit longer before completion because I haven't even done capture of a pokemon yet, And I need items for that. I was wondering if the CMS people were doing the pokemon selection and item maps, because I could easily adapt them for the battle.
In case anyone was wondering, I already know about those bugs someone pointed out before, I fixed them straight away. there was also a problem with the "run" option but i fixed it.
Also, Yes those graphics are authentic, I ripped them myself. for the battle background graphic, please nobody critise it. do you have any idea how hard it was to get that in .PNG format and still have the right colours??? i also had to manually re-size them to make them panorama. also there was a slight delay at the start of the battle, where you could see the black bit at the bottom of the panorama but the msg box hadn't shown up yet. it was only like a 0.3 second delay, but I'm picky and i fixed it. if there's anything that I have forgotten please tell me.
Umm.. i was wondering, for the battle, I have already ripped the graphics of the guy throwing the pokeball and done it and stuff.. but I have gone and used lots of FR/LG people in the test map, and buildings and stuff. but then I realised that the main character is still R/S so i was wondering, should I change his body to FR/LG and leave his hair, because that is the main distinction in the battle system. or would you guys like to stick with the old R/S graphics?
Also, Rm2k3kid, I used your message graphics in the game.. but I noticed that it is impossible to show a choice with those graphics. I managed to create my own little Yes/No textbox, but i just noticed that you dont have anywhere in your demo where you can select yes/no while someone is talking.
Anyway that's it for today I'm pretty sure. I have been away for 2 weeks I know but remember I said 3. there is no need to forget about me 1 week prematurely. I will be back at my other house in a week, this is the first chance I have had to use the internet. Why were you so quick to drop me DM? i never once got an email from any of you. I check my emails at school on a daily basis. I will be on later, I am a big part of this battle system so I don't know why you would leave me so early. (not trying to sound important or anything) but i have coded the main guts of the system so far. I never asked for any more credit than you guys. what have I done wrong? i have to go now, please don't forget about me, I will be on same time tomorrow.
I hope you get better daegon, best wishes simon
