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

[poccil]

I will wait. The thing is, RPG Maker VX (and RGSS 2) are not yet "ripe".

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Script 'PokemonUtilities' line 266yntaxError occured

??

Also, Poccil, is there a script for adding game corner coins?

Oh, is there a way to make the window gameboy screenish sized so it looks more like a Pokemon game?

[poccil]

You must have copied the pbPlayTrainerIntroME function I gave in this thread wrong.

As for Game Corner coins, such functionality is already included; see the section "Coin Case and Game Coins" in the documentation for more information.

Reducing the size is one of the options. Select "Option" from the game menu, and set "Screen Size" to "240x160".

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Uh..ok..

Here is what I have there:

Spoiler:

def pbPlayTrainerIntroME(trainertype)
pbRgssOpen("Data/trainernames.dat","rb"){|f|
trainernames=Marshal.load(f)
if trainernames[trainertype]
bgm=trainernames[trainertype][6]
if bgm && bgm!=""
bgm=pbStringToAudioFile(bgm)
Audio.bgm_play("Audio/ME/#{bgm.name}",bgm.volume,bgm.pitch)
end
end
}
end
}
end

[poccil]

Ah... Delete these lines at the end:

 }
end

Thank you!

Poccil, me and lots of other people would be NOWHERE without you. I, on behalf on everybody else, THANK YOU! :D

[sascha]

Hey, whats up?!?

How can i do an Givepokemon Script?
THANKS

[Shirayuki Mizore]

@>pbAddPokemon(PBSpecies:OKEMON,LEVEL)

The Pokemon needs to be in all caps.

Gah. Emote. The emote is obviously an , but before it is still the other :. I didn't make any mistakes,


Oh, even when my character doesn't have a pokemon OR a pokemon with surf I can surf..And it just walks on the water...I'd want it to have the character surfing..? o.o

Also, how do I add battle animations? I probably missed it somewhere.

[poccil]

Next time, make sure "Disable smilies in text" is disabled on posts.

By design, in debug mode, hidden moves, like Surf, can be used any time, even without Badges or Pokemon. To change the surfing sprite, go to PBS/metadata.txt, find the line below, and replace "XXX" below with a character sprite in Graphics/Characters/.

PlayerA=PkMnTRAINER_Male,Red,onbike,trback,XXX,Red,Red

Battle animations are covered in the documentation, under the heading "Animations".

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Nevermind.

Ah. I can't find the Girl sprite for surfing..Did you include it?

[poccil]

Character sprites for surfing, running, and diving are not included.

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Wait..are you sure? O.o

Why do I have a surfing one then?

Oh yeah, I added tons of things..XD

[NytewolfAU2k7]

Hmmm... Maybe, just maybe, I'll port Code Biohazard to the latest kit... :)

Great work Poccil :)

[Atomic Reactor]

that post was pointless...
is you copy one of the time switches and change then umbers. will it work accordingly to those times?

[sascha]

How can i make an Givepokmeon script?
Please an example with pikachu

[Lorem Ipsum]

With the older versions of Pokémon Essentials, you would give a Pikachu by putting this into an event (assuming you want it to be level 5):

pbAddPokemon(PBSpecies::25,5)

In newer versions, I think you do this though.

pbAddPokemon(PBSpecies::PIKACHU,5)

[sascha]

Thanks, and hox can i move other sprites in a event?

[Lorem Ipsum]

When selecting an event command, on page 2, there is a "Move Event" command. Set the thing it affects to the event that it needs to move (in this case, your sprite). Then, just enter what you need it to move.

You know, that type of help should be kept in Private messages to avoid spam, because that has almost nothing to do with Poccil's Starter Kit and Essentials, it's more to do with Rpg Maker.

Poccil, I keep getting a script hanging error, I'll pm you the specifics.

No, it isn´t.
Poccil forgot to update the date at the homepage... but it´s the new version for sure... i downloaded it and looked in the notes file ;)

[Mrchewy]

Hey poccil, big fan of your work :) . I've been using Pokemon Essentials for only a very small time but the amount of effort you put into it is astounding. Hell, you've even added all the seperate Pokemon Exp. rates!

Anyway, I have this one question that has been bothering me lately. I've searched through Google, notes.html and even this topic but can't seem to find an answer. Basically it's this: how do I edit the night time tinting? For me, I think it's currently way too opaque and dark and I would like tone it down a little.

A second question: how would I go about editing the battle system? The changes I want to make are quite trivial (i.e the speed that Pokemon come onto the screen, changing the male/female logos) so it doesn't really matter, but I am curious.

[Wichu]

You have to look in the scripts: PokemonUtilities for the tinting (it's near the top), and PokeBattle_ActualScene for the battle adjustments: look under PokemonDataBox and pbStartBattle.
Oh, and the male/female logos are in the font files.

[Youji]

Poccil do you thinkyou can add all Forms of Arceus? This would be cool...
