def Kernel.pbSetPokemonCenter
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterMapId=$game_map.map_id
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterX=$game_player.x
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterY=$game_player.y
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterDirection=$game_player.direction
end

I hope this helps.

Oh tanks! So basically, when I put this

def Kernel.pbSetPokemonCenter
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterMapId=$game_map.map_id
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterX=$game_player.x
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterY=$game_player.y
 $PokemonGlobal.pokecenterDirection=$game_player.direction
end

as a Script Command in an event, it saves the place as the place you get to when you lose a battle? (using hero touch probably?)

[poccil]

That's actually how the function is defined in the script section PokemonField; what you would do instead is use this simple line for the Script event command:

Kernel.pbSetPokemonCenter

Sorry if it wasn't clear enough.

Ah okay thanks very much! No biggie, you're in no position to apologise. Hell, you made a wish come true for most of us.

i, honestly, have a quick question regarding custom pokemon...

is there a script providing a database with the names/graphic name/etc., in which we can change the names and such to a name that we would like??

[poccil]

There is a text file called pokemon.txt in the PBS folder; that file contains data on each Pokemon in the game and contains details on creating new ones.

Hey Poccil, I've got one little question:
In my Pokémon Game, I don't want to use a PokéGear, but can I use the map, which is in the Key items Pocket? (like in D/P)

Thank you so much

EDIT : I don't know why I've got this error :

undefined method `pbOnMapChange' for Kernel:Module
PokemonMap:226:in `setMapChanged'
PokemonMap:207:in `setup'
PokemonLoad:191:in `pbStartLoadScreen'
PokemonLoad:173:in `open'

PokemonLoad:210:in `pbStartLoadScreen'
Scene_Intro:121:in `to_title_update'
Scene_Intro:55:in `main'

I just change the windowsskin picture...?

[Aqua Mudkip]

It still dosen't worl poccil... Did you try to download your Starter Kit yourself?

[RMXPUser462]

much thanks poccil for the help, you're brilliant


EDIT
How do you make it so an opposing trainer can have a shiny pokemon? I've tried using things like SHINYCHARIZARD, or SHINY_CHARIZARD, or even CHARIZARD_SHINY but got nothing from it

thanks for your help

You cant run the game file from inside RMXP, you can only run the game from the Icon, thats in the project folder.

[Lorem Ipsum]

Please can somebody tell me how to get this onto Postality Knights version? It would really, really help with my project.

[Icechamp11200]

is sdk compatible with the code? i need it for my pokemon game Pokemon Virtua

[poccil]

Lorem Ipsum:

For that, please see the section in notes.txt entitled "Problems when opening project":

If you are using RPG Tsukuuru XP in Japanese and you cannot open the project, then
open Game.rxproj in Notepad and change "RPGXP 1.02" to "RPGXP 1.01" or, if necessary
"RPGXP 1.00", then save the file.

[Lorem Ipsum]

What version would Postality Knights be?

Sorry for being so stupid...

[NytewolfAU2k7]

click the 'Help' menu then click 'About...'

You should see something that says;

RPGXP Version X.XX

(where X.XX is a version number, the most common being 1.00)

[Lorem Ipsum]

OK, done that, but when I try to open it up, it says that it is not a valid Win32 application.

The pirated version of RMXP.

[Lorem Ipsum]

No, I meant in reference to typing in the version number in Notepad.

Also, my Win32 error is still popping up.

[Wichu]

Is it possible to add new moves and abilities?

[Minorthreat0987]

im really happy with the latest release, Im glad you fixed the tile problem.

I have one thing to say though, and its really small so no rush at fixing it but if you could would you please have the HP bar update, when you level up in battle, it doesnt really affect game play, it just would be a nice added touch, and i dont think it would be too hard to do. thanks so much for this, this is a really awsome systems kit.

[New2Ya]

Yeah, and I was hoping maybe Gym leaders could have their own personal battle music too?

That was a great update. I'm finally understanding this whole starterkit. I managed to get Dash animations now too...

[poccil]

Yeah, and I was hoping maybe Gym leaders could have their own personal battle music too?

That's also possible with this version. The background music for specific types
of Trainers can be set in trainernames.txt. You may, for example, want to use
one kind of music for Elite Four members and Gym Leaders. You can make this
possible by editing the appropriate lines in the file:

72,LEADER_Brawly,LEADER,80,GymLeaderTheme.mid
...
80,ELITEFOUR_Phoebe,ELITE FOUR,100,EliteFourTheme.mid

(Please note that the lines above are just examples.)

As of the current version, the background music is set within the two functions
pbTrainerBattle in the script section PokemonTrainers (near line 175),
and pbWildBattle in the script section PokemonField (near line 120).

RMXPUer462:

I don't intend to support Trainers with shiny Pokemon in the game system; however,
you can edit the scripts to support such functionality. Go to the script section
PokemonTrainers and replace line 37 with the following:

    pokemon=PokeBattle_Pokemon.new(species,level)
    if trainerid==PBTrainers::LEADER_Brawly
     pokemon.makeShiny
    end

The makeShiny method is defined in the script section PokeBattle_Pokemon, as of
the latest version. Edit the line "if trainerid==PBTrainers::LEADER_Brawly" to
specify the Trainer types who will have shiny Pokemon. For example, the following
specifies that Campers and Picnickers will have shiny Pokemon:

    if trainerid==PBTrainers::CAMPER || trainerid==PBTrainers::PICNICKER

See the script section PBTrainers for other Trainer types.

Hey man, Im experiencing some bugs now.

1. If you played my tiny demo, you know the scene where Oak walks down the staircase towards Ash. (doesnt matter if you didnt play it, Oak is just an event, thats all.)
After updating my project with this update, (I did everything correctly like Flameguru explained, so that cant be the problem) he's not moving...

2. A similar problem is the player's graphics. I cant change the player's appearance for a time until I give it back its original sprite. Instead, he changes back to the original sprite until the Move Event -> Wait Time is over...
