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

There is only one event running as a parallel process to prevent lag. It checks the X and Y values of the tile the player is standing on. So lag won't be an issue.

But I hope that my 2nd question will be answered, as it is more imperative than the 1st.

hey,
l wanted to try out the starter kid and l downloaded the latest version.
well, l cant start the editor it says: Script 'RtpAndRegistry' line 423: SyntaxError

Can someone give me an older version, or tell me how to fix it?

Thanks.

I believe that you can fix this by opening your script editor within RPG Maker and going to the RtpAndRegistry tab and going to line 423, and adding the word, "end", without quotes. That might fix it.

I have no idea, but I can give you my script, it's based on your new resolution, which is 512x384 not 784 lol; whatever, if you want it, PM me then. I'm not having that problem anymore, so... I don't think you have too many different lines from mine. If you want my script, you can compare both.

I'm having this problem too, but only with the latest version. Has something been changed?
On a side note, thank you to whoever is working on this now. It's been a while since I've checked this project out so I'm not sure if Poccil is still working on it. If so, how's your education funding going? I hope it's all well.

[thepsynergist]

Can someone help me figure out how to temporarily remove all of the pokemon in my party and store them in a variable and call them back with a script command plz? I really need to know how to do this...plz help me.

delete the audio.dll

I believe that you can fix this by opening your script editor within RPG Maker and going to the RtpAndRegistry tab and going to line 423, and adding the word, "end", without quotes. That might fix it.

umm, l dunno how to/cant open the editor.exe. And in the Game.exe it isnt.

[The Smell]

OK, which trback graphic is the one that is used ingame? :o

And can I change the size of each graphic? I need the backsprite of the trainer to be bigger.

[Ziebart23]

delete the audio.dll

Like I said, I am new to this, and I do not know what the audio.dll is...

The ones with the numbers in the name that correspond with the trainer type used for that player character are the ones used.


As for different size, its a matter of just changing the size of the file and possibly editting the script.

[Vaskituh]

Could someone help me, i basically want the Pokemon that is number one on the Trainers Party to follow the Trainer (Using the Rips from HGSS for the Pokemons) ?

That is extremely difficult, no-one has done it yet. You will either have to script it yourself, or wait for others to release a script that they complete.

Now onto my problem. I've recently changed my game resolution to full dual screen NDS resolution (which is 512x784). Now whenever i try to start a battle, the black that moves away for the appearence of the battle keeps going away but stops at a certain point. The image below, I hope will show more details about my problem.

And that's it. The black just stops and doesnt go away.

The viewport's height only increases while the enemy base is scrolling to the right. Since you doubled the screen height, you'll want to double the speed at which the viewport's height increases. Try finding and changing these lines in PokeBattle_ActualScene:

  if @viewport.rect.y>Graphics.height/4
   @viewport.rect.y-=2
   @viewport.rect.height+=4
  elsif @viewport.rect.y>0
   @viewport.rect.y-=4
   @viewport.rect.height+=8
  end

[ryu3000]

I wanted to make it so that in order to pass certain areas all pokemon had to be at a certain level, (that way you can't just easily use only one pokemon to defeat the gyms, elite 4, and champion). I tried using

$Trainer.party.level

,but I can't seem to use it right, I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if that can even help prevent using just one or two pokemon. If that doesn't help is there a way I can do that?

[StormRuler]

For some reason it says one or more fonts don't exist on the system.

You, sir, are a genious...and I bow down to you. Thank you so much!:D This error has been driving me crazy.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I can now continue through the game...

[Quilava's Master]

how do i add a person to the pokegear...

[thepsynergist]

Wichu, or anyone skilled in Pkmn Essentials, can someone help me with my problem.

I want to temporary remove the pokemon in my party and be able to call them back with a script command. Just like in the bug catching contest, Can someone please help me? I can't progress in my game if I don't have this info.

[Soul.//Silver]

New problem, I keep getting a syntax error at line 2498 and I have no idea why. I tried deleting a few "ends" but I still kept getting the error.

2483 def pbThrowAndDeflect(ball,targetBattler)
2484 end
2485 def pbThrow(ball,shakes,targetBattler)
2486  @briefmessage=false
2487  pokeballThrow(ball,shakes,targetBattler)
2488 end
2489 def pbThrowSuccess
2490  if !@opponent
2491   @briefmessage=false
2492   $game_system.bgm_play("../ME/PkmRS-Caught.mid")
2493   frames=(3.5*Graphics.frame_rate).to_i
2494   frames.times do
2495    pbGraphicsUpdate
2496    pbInputUpdate
2497  end
2498 end
2499

Any help will be appreciated.

I want to have my character go into the past, and have no pokemon in his party that he had in the future, just so you can get the right idea. Maybe Maruno or OblivionMew can help me with this...?

2) I presume you want the player to pick up and use new pokémon after he's (temporarily) lost his old team. Now, looking at the Bug Catching scripts, this catches my eye:

     @otherparty=[]
     chosenpkmn=$Trainer.party[@chosenPokemon]

     for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length
      if i!=@chosenPokemon
       @otherparty.push($Trainer.party[i])
      end
     end

     $Trainer.party=[chosenpkmn]

The "chosenpkmn" is whichever one you chose to use before you entered the Contest. The "if" statement copies all the information about all the non-chosen pokémon to an array called "@otherparty" (defined as blank at the beginning). Finally, the trainer's party is redefined to be only the chosen pokémon. At the end of the Contest, the rest of the party is added back.

So that sounds simple enough. Create an array called "@futurepkmn", and when you time travel, do the "if" statement stuff to copy all the party pokémon into it, then say "$Trainer.party=[]" to make it blank.

The recovery part of the script (that gives you your pokémon back) is equally simple, but you can look for that yourself (hint: search for "@otherparty"). Do (a variation of) that when you want to get your future pokémon back. You can do other things with that array instead, if you want (and can imagine).

$Trainer.party[0].level

That is the level of the leading pokémon in your party (the party pokémon are numbered 0-5 inclusive). After a quick bit of imagining, I came up with the following:

tempvar=0
for i in 0...$Trainer.party.length-1
  if $Trainer.party[i].level>=42
    tempvar+=1
  end
end
if $Trainer.party.length==tempvar
  You may pass.
else
  You cannot pass.
end

Make sure you're happy with figuring out what's going on. If you want a walkthrough of it, ask me in a PM - I'm feeling nice.

[ryu3000]

Ah thank you. I'll use that. That makes sense.

Looks to me like you might need one more "end" after line 2498; however, I'm new at this so I don't know for sure.
