[Archive] Pokemon Essentials: Starter Kit for RPG Maker XP

[Kevvviiinnn]

Can someone point me to the script that sets the position for the "trbackXXX" file? My trainer is a little off to the right, and I would like to move him left some.

EDIT: poccil, in the newest release, upon capturing a new Pokemon, the Pokemon's description no longer shows. I'm assuming this has something to do with the new AdvancedText thing that has been added, perhaps?

[BallisticBlastoise]

I have that problem too. Also, all of the maps I made are not showing in the editor when I go to the set encounters option. I then decided to list encounters for one of my maps in encounters.txt file and when I playtested it, no pokemon showed up. I already have grass tiles terrain tagged as 2.

Kevvviiinnn:

I was already aware of the bug and I have fixed it.

[Kevvviiinnn]

Great! Can we get the fix? Or do we have to wait for the next release?

[Hall Of Famer]

I don't know whether this question has been asked before but how can I make the move effects of those newly implemented D/P moves working? Now I have to change some value like "10A", "10B" to "0" or "1" or the game will crash(appears to be an undefined method error). Please tell me how to make this work and I'll appreciate it very much.

i have a few things here.
1)how do i call pbDebugBattle? i've tried conditionals and scripts and it doesn't seem to work.
2)for the battle animations, how would one go about shaking the screen or flashing colors? i tried adding in a flash in the rmxp animation editor, but it didn't show up ingame.
3)how would you implement another terrain tag? when i was playing leaf green yesterday, i noticed going up and down stairs slows down the character a bit. can this be implemented into say, terrain tag 14?
4)how would one go about giving the player random items from a certain set of items? for example, let's say i wanted to give the player one item from the numbers 3,15,288,341. what kind of script would that need?

thanks in advance.

Use this script in an event :

i=rand(4)
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(3) if i==0
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(15) if i==1
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(288) if i==2
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(341) if i==3

I've not tested it, but it should work.

it works perfectly. :D thanks. would it be possible to add probability to it? for example item 3, 50%. item 15, 10%. item 288, 30%. item 341, 10%. if it can't be done, i can do without it.

thanks in advance.

*EDIT*
would it be possible to give a random item from 100 different items? the script only allows 10 different items. is it possible to extend the script length?

100 items?! Well, u can do it easily if the number of the items form a sequence by doing

i=rand(100)
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(i+number1)

where number1 is the number of the first item of the sequence.

But if u want to put items with other numbers, u should add a script like

def Kernel.pbRandomItem
i=rand(100)
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(3) if i==0
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(15) if i==1
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(288) if i==2
Kernel.pbReceiveItem(341) if i==3
...
end

in PokemonField and then, u could add the script

Kernel.pbRandomItem

in your event.

To begin with I have read through the Notes.html and cant seem to solve my problem.....
I have two questions.

First : How do I associate the point on the "Town Map" with what area im in..?

Second : How do I switch between Region Maps ?

Thanks to anyone with a little help......:>

i had the same questions. open townmap.txt and look at how it set up. it has two different regions and they change automatically. now to asscoiate the townmap and place your at go to the visual editor and i think its in the metadata of the map you want to asscoiate yourself with.

now a question some one i forget who its liek 5 or so pages back told me to use this for random weather.

i=rand(4)
$game_screen.weather(i,9.0,20)

but it does all the weather all at the same time. now is there a way to randomaly generate the weather you want. and have it carry over to the next map ass well?

if you mean the attack animaitons then use the animation editor.

[Ashje]

So it'll just make it automatically?

[sonic smash down]

he was thinking of the editor in the database those are only for the pics it shows when you use the attack. but i cant help you wit that cause i havent added any new attacks yet myself

[Ashje]

Oh. Ok... Thanks anyway. Does anyone know a script to turn the character away (90 degree angle Left Turn) if they don't have any pokemon?

EDIT:
Found a way

I was the one who gave u the answer with the random weather. What I gave u is a random weather generator with all the weathers...
If u want to choose randomly among a small part of the weathers, what u need to do is something like :

i=rand(5)
if (i==0||i==3)
$game_screen.weather(i,0,20)
else
$game_screen.weather(i,9.0,20)
end

In this example, there is all the weathers except snow (number 3). So, when the random number is 0 or 3, there is no special weather, and when it's different, there is rain, storm or sandstorm (i had forgotten we needed a rand(5) to have i=4 sometimes and have the sandstorm).
If u dont want normal weather, u can do something like

i=rand(3)
$game_screen.weather(1,9.0,20) if i==0 #for rain
$game_screen.weather(2,9.0,20) if i==1 #for storm
$game_screen.weather(4,9.0,20) if i==2 #forsandstorm

(Pay attention with the comments, each line must remain on a single line in the script in the event, that's why I have not put a space between for and sandstorm because if I do, the word sandstorm will go on the line below and the game will give an error, saying that sandstorm is an unknown variable.)

Conditional Branches only working once?
------------------------------------------------
Whenever I put a conditional branch in, it only works once... Is this normal? Can someone please help me to get it to work all the time? Thanks...

[yaoimutt]

does anyone know how to automatically raise a pokemons lvl? ( want to make an event where pikachu's lvl goes up.)

that depends, if you have a self switch activated in the event, or an erase event in it, then yes, it only happens once, but if not, then no, you should be able to repeat the event.

what do you mean you have to change the valuse, and what effects are you talking about?

[Hall Of Famer]

Okay. You may take a look at this in the new Moves.txt file:

 461,LUNARDANCE,Lunar Dance,10E,0,PSYCHIC,Status,0,10,0,10,0,,Cool,"The user faints. In return, the Pokémon taking its place will have its status and HP fully restored."

Notice the value "10E" I underlined. This is the value that determines the moves effect like increase the atk by 1 and reduce the def by 1(in this case, the effect is to sacrifice the current pokemon and restore the hp for another Pokemon).

Unfortunately, the current starterkit doesn't support this specific move effect and the value "10E" is therefore undefined (as you will get an undefined method error when using this move). I have to change the value into something like 0 and 1 to make it able to use in starterkit. I don't know whether it's possible to fix this error but I wish I can implement some new move effects appeared in D/P in starterkit.

oh, ok, well, it seems more like a glitch that poccil forgot to fix, mostlikly it will be fixed in the next release.
