GETTING THISE SERVER ERROR...what do i do?

get a diffrent internet server, because that error is saying that you have dialup or something simaler that only lets 1 person contact your server address (your ip address). atleast that is what i thing, check to find out if that's what it means by messageing poccil.

by the way, how would i make it so that shiny pokemon could not evolve?

make it hold an everstone. lol.
but seriously, if you could find the flag that says that the pokemon is shiny, i image that one could type up a script that would force shiny pokemon not to evolve. kinda easier said than done.

[Nero9121]

is there a server that works for everyone that someone can point me in the direction of please?

[partyghoul2000]

how does one call the user's and opponent's gender within the PokeBattle_Battle script? also, how do i call the variable for time within the PokeBattle_Battle script?

[Wichu]

Yaoimutt: In the Scripts window, press Ctrl+Shift+F (search all scripts), then search EVERSTONE. One of the results should look similar to this:

if pokemon.item==PBItems::EVERSTONE
return false
end

Copy and paste them, but change the first to

if pokemon.isShiny?

I don't have the scripts in front of me, so I'm not sure...
Partyghoul: I'm not sure about the user / opponent, but pokemon.gender returns the gender.
Time's easy. If you need the hour, use Time.now.hour, otherwise replace hour with min or sec.

copy them out of their respective folders and edit them within a graphics program

I have a question to ask... Is it possible to implement a Boulder-based event as in Victory road the player must push the boulders into a specific area to make it possible to advance to further area. Also in Seaform Island the boulder must be pushed down to the flowing water to access Articuno. Please help.

[Pokehero22]

I meant when you select Boy, I want a picture to show up!

((In my case, a Team Rocket Grunt

i think it's possible with switches. once the event boulder gets pushed into the event hole, have the event turn on a switch so a boulder will appear down below. just make sure to have the top boulder disappear. and when you leave the floor or cave, reset the switches. sounds good, in theory.

alright, go into the metadata.txt within the PBS folder and edit PkMnTRAINER_Male to say whatever you have your rocket defined as within the trainernames.txt

how do i get rid of certain options in the options menu and make the battle system look different?

[Mike2494]

To change the Battle, just open the Script Editor and scroll down to the PokeBattle_...-Scripts.
I dont know exatly about the Options-Menu. But when looking around in the scripting Editor of the RPG MK you should find something.

[Wichu]

The PokemonOption script, perhaps? :P

[Lorem Ipsum]

Question: When implementing new moves, what are the function codes for defining what the moves actually do?

[Wichu]

Lorem: Poccil made a list on his site here: http://upokecenter.com/games/rs/guides/attacks.html

and with all of the dp menu system and everythhing, or make a window pop up when a battle occurs and have the fight, bag, run, and pokemon options under the screen, how would i do this. (including how to make the menu look like this)

is there a way to give shiny pokemon special abilities?

i dont think so, but you could just go head and give each pokemon a shiny(ex: CHARMANDER_SHINY ( info info info) ) or you could add the shiny to the ability (TM & HM) and make them able to have more moves, just an idea, but i dont think so.

ok, here's what i've come up with. within the PokeBattle_Pokemon on line 279 to 285 in the latest release of the sk is where isShiny? is defined. i believe if you put any boosts to stats or whatever within this area, it should take effect on shiny pokemon. i haven't tested this out, but i believe it should work.

[Wichu]

What kind of effect are you trying to give them? Stronger stats? Or something else?

Gee, thanks! I copied the script from "Camper Andrew". Maybe he hhas multiple battles... Thanks again!

Pokemon Trading. Does anyone know how to make this work in the game?

read athe notes.html included in the starter kit, but here is how :

Adding a Pokemon

For an easy way to add a Pokemon, call pbAddPokemon(X,Y) where X is the species number of the Pokemon, and Y is its level. You can modify that function, which is located in PokemonUtilities, to remove the messages. Adding a Pokemon may fail, so this statement should appear in a "Conditional Branch" event command.
Adding an Egg

You can use the function pbGenerateEgg to add an egg to the Trainer's party. Here's an example.
@>Conditional Branch: Script: $Trainer.party.length>=6
@>Text: You have no room to store the Egg...
@>
: Else
@>Script: Kernel.pbGenerateEgg(
: : PBSpecies::TOGEPI,5
: : )
@>Text: Received a Pokemon Egg.
@>
: Branch End
@>

Removing a Pokemon

To remove a Pokemon from the party, use the script $Trainer.party.delete_at(X) where X is the Pokemon's position. For example, to remove the first Pokemon in the party, use 0 for X.
