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

[Firemaker]

Go to script PBTrainers. This should work

[ferrarib0y]

that is a very nice starter kit by far the best i have seen nd it is very easy to use.
Can you make it so that when you fish you can set a spriteset or a gif image to show the fishing rod and animation

[Firemaker]

You could do that on your own. I'm pretty sure that there is an image though, somewhere.

This may have been mentioned before but in (PokemonUtilities) how do I set up a create pokemon part for pokemon like in a way to set up starter pokemon.

[Firemaker]

A) Make up a switch for each pokemon
B) Make the balls
C) Make the base event the event when that pokemon is chosen. Then turn the switch on
D) For each ball, make events stating that if one of those events are on, nothing will happen or another message will occur
E) Example, when Bulbasaur is chosen, turn bulbasaur on and leave the ball item blank

[rm2kdude]

This is pretty cool, best starter kit that I've seen. But what script do I edit to change the text size/font?

[phoenixprime88b5]

This happens when I try to do the starter pokemon events:

Exception: SyntaxError
Message: (eval):2:in `pbExecuteScript'compile error

Having a quick look at some of the lines in Interpreter, it seems you've got a script in your game with a dodgy syntax (obviously, the scripts you used when giving the player a starter Pokémon). Be sure to check notes.html and the example game to make sure your usage of scripts is correct.

I looked at the notes from top to bottom and whoever wrote them don't cover everything that needs to be covered so I'm just wondering how to set the pokemon up in the pokemon utilities script cause I know that's how it will work, I just need to know exactly how to write the script for the pokemon. the small kernel.pb isn't doing the trick.

[Mrchewy]

Could you post your events/scripts, then? It's very hard for me to help you if we can't see where the problem is.

[poccil]

A new version is available.

Changes:

More battle transitions added
Hidden move animation and fishing animation
Support for double wild battles and partner trainers
Fixed potential problem where a wild encounter can run even
if an event triggers on grass
Fixed bugs in storage system
Fixed bug where defining custom moves for a trainer causes an error

For detailed changes, see this diff file.

Huzzah! Seems like a pretty solid content upgrade. Once again, great work Peter

Just a question, but can you add more than the 483 Pokémon that are already there? I just thought that you might be able to have it go #482 Shaymin, #483 Arceus, #484 Fakémon, #485 Fakémon etc.?

If the game doesn't allow for this, then that is fine, but if it does, please tell me.

[MR.GLITCH_KING]

it does allow it

u can put as many pokemon as u want

btw nj poccil

[ali madan]

[poccil]

Add the following line to line 140 of the script section PokemonEncounters:

  return nil if !encounter

[NeoStar]

[Lorem Ipsum]

[ali madan]

Always aim to please yea Poccil? Anyway just a few questions that might come up, because I didn't see any update (for this release) in your Notes.Html.

Which fields in Metadata define the animations for the Hidden Move/Fishing Animations?

Where does one put for the battle sprite of the partner trainer, and what should I name it?

Can you call a wild encounter with two Pokemon separate from having a partner trainer as long as you have 2 Pokemon in your party?

I think thats all for now, thanks Poccil!

[poccil]

The information on the fishing sprite is contained in the section "Miscellaneous".
The hidden move animation resembles the GBA games and cannot be changed.

I've recently changed the metadata so that the back of the trainer now depends on the
player's trainer type. It is to be placed in Graphics/Pictures/ and has a filename
of trbackXXX.png, where XXX is the trainer type's ID number. Trainer backs for partner
trainers and other trainers are defined in the same way.

For question three, no, that's not possible.

[Krobelus]

@Poccil - Thanks, that's all I needed to know! But for some reason, I get a script hanging error, and I'm still not sure why it happens. In any case, when I was talking about the hidden move part, I thought it was the same as the fishing one, where you see your character using the Pokeball, animation.

Anyway, if you can explain why the scripts hang sometimes, I would appreciate it, because of it, production of Pokemon Krobelus is on hold =P

I found out what I did wrong and found the problem, It's been fixed. Thanks for your help though. I do have aanother question though, is there a way to add the music during the character surfing, or using the bike like in the games?

So that goes for the trainers you define in trainers.txt too? like say i have a trainer called Youngster Joey and his id number is 098 id just name my backround joeyback098.png?

*edit*
Nope doesnt work hmm....

[Firemaker]

you do "trback098". Poccil, can you make the biker and the walker the same person? It gets strange that when you use the bike, you change clothes :o
