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

[Jackreyes]

Ok tried that, nothing.

Can you just type out the script that should allow me to add a new pokemon with everything already defined, just make it a level 5 bulbasaur or something.

I may then be able to work off of this.

[Lorem Ipsum]

pbAddPokemon(1,5)

That adds a level five Bulbasaur for you.

[Jackreyes]

ok, I got that working.
So now I need to add 494, which will not work...
Anyone wanna try editing my files if I upload them somewhere?

[Hall Of Famer]

Well, I have a question to ask... I don't know how to create battle tents event. I mean, to make the protagonist battle with random trainers with defined pokemon levels and the protagonist will be awarded after winning those battles? I'm not sure how to implement this kind of random event so please help.

PoKéMaKeR

yeah,
thanks a million.

thats my problem solved...

[PoKéMaKeR]

I've encountered a bug in the Pokemon catching Area system (in the pokedex)
I don't know if it's fixed in the newest release, because I don't use the newest release..
but I have 2 regions in my game, so two region maps aswell
If I take a look at where I can catch a voltorb i.e.. and I can only catch it on the second region map but it also shows it like I can catch it on the other region map aswell.. but that's not the case..!

My friend told me that he gets this error frequently but not always when walking into another map. I don't have this error in my computer so I'm confused with it. Please tell me what's wrong with this and is there a way to fix it. Besides, why this error happens to some people but not to everyone and why it doesn't occur all the time but for sometimes?

the save file is called game.rxdata. rpg maker xp creates this saved format and as far as i know it can't be manually editted without ruining the save.

it's quite possible that he doesn't have rpgmxp installed on his computer meaning that he wouldn't have the required .dll file for some ruby scripts. it's usually called RGSS102E.dll or something to that effect. i believe it can be found in the folder you installed rpgmxp to or can just do a file search for it. once you find the .dll file, just put in the same folder as your game. this might just solve your problem.

Thanks for this answer and I'll inform my friend about the solution.

A few things...

1. I get this error when I move from one map to another via connection. Any way to fix?

Spoiler:

Exception: ArgumentError
Message: wrong number of arguments(4 for 2)
Game_Map*:139:in `pbCueBGM'
Game_Map*:139:in `autoplayAsCue'
PokemonMap:776:in `setCurrentMap'

2. I've looked through the scripts...Where do I change what the default res, and font style (like emerald, FR, DP etc)?

3. Again, looked through the scripts...where do I edit the player's starting money?

just add more, it'll work!
You don't have the pictures but if you save you can see you have i.e. 10 badges !

[Hall Of Famer]

I may have a weird question to ask. How can I manage to create a pokemon with special ability in this game. For instance, in Pokemon Crystal the Dratini you obtain from an elder learns extremespeed, which is generally not learned by any Dratini in Pokemon Video game. I'd also like to create a special crystal Onix(Steel and Water type) in Sunburst Island, which is completely different from the other Onix. Please help.

I'm not sure about it, but one solution can be creating an other onix with a new pokedex entry.. else I don't have a clue

[Pokepal2007]

this is a good system and starter kit

heres a queston for you

How do change the battle background?

[delyemerald2]

within the file pictures you have three background things:
Playerbase ( place where pokemon stands on)
Enemy base ( place where enemy stands on)
and the background blocks ( background )

[lightou]

I've got a problem.

I think that Pokemon give too much experience. For example : when my Chikorita lvl9 kill a Geodude lvl 9, chikorita go lvl 10 (50%). After (it's my first gym) when he kill an Onix lvl 9, he go lvl 12...

Isn't it too much ? How can I change the growth rate, to make him more realistic.

[Hall Of Famer]

I got an error with using the animation editor and it looks ridiculous:

That's great and all poccil, but I'm currently just starting to work on developing a game that makes use of D/P sprites and tiles. Does this starter kit still apply or what? I'm sorry I'm so nooby.. =_='

[Demonic Budha]

Well im using this starter kit with KYLEDOVES custom Sinnoh set, and im using normal D/P NPC and Overworld sprites. So yes, this can be done with the SK. Just need to add in the NEW tiles/sprites ETC.

No way, really!?

I hate to sound like a complete and utter annoying noob, but can you help me with the scripting?? I had no idea that the starter kit could have the D/P tiles and such! I just can't script if my life depended on it... if I'm not too much of a bother, do you think you can help me with my project? As in... be a part of my unfinished team? =d
