oh duh *feels dumb* and for your question you have to change your trainer bike graphic in your metadata.txt to a bike graphic with your player on it.

Is there a way to add the music during the character surfing, or using the bike like in the games? And I followed the instructions on the notes and in trainers.txt and the partner trainer isn't working, i get this:

Exception: SyntaxError

nice to see some new updates to your game poccil, but i get the same error as well, will you help some nubs? :)

[poccil]

phoenixprime88b5:

What was the Script event command you used that caused the error above? There was a syntax error in that event command.

[RMXPUser462]

i believe he used the one that your site said to use, the pbRegisterPartner command, i did the same thing and got an error :\

[phoenixprime88b5]

RMXPUser462 is correct, i used the script command from the notes that came with the SK and that's what gave me the syntax error.

[poccil]

It was a mistake on my part. The note should have read:

pbRegisterPartner(PBTrainers::PkMnTRAINER_Cheryl,"Cheryl",0)

[ali madan]

hi, can somebody tell me what place this will be in the map please? and please don't tell me to read the note because I already have done this before!

and how can I add an item???

[Lorem Ipsum]

Don't understand your first question, and for the second one, you can find it in notes.

pbAddItem(PBItems:otion)

I think that's how you do it, anyway.

[Krobelus]

@Lorem Ipsum - You might want to disable smileys when you post, to prevent stuff like :P to happen.

@Poccil - Just a few things you should take into consideration for the starter kit:
1. Faster EXP gain. Each time I gain exp, it's really slow. And I would much appreciate if it were faster.

2. In TrainerNames.txt, I would like it if you could optionally choose the vol. of the bgm you might have put for a certain trainer name. Some bgms are louder than others, and they are usually, for me, fixed in events, but not for trainers.

3. Theres something wrong with the HM01 Cut. Each time I try to use it, the name CUT is replaced by nothing, and in turn, I cannot teach it to any of my Pokemon, might be the same thing with other HMs, not sure, but it might be something you might wanna take a look into.

[poccil]

Krobelus:

Point 2 is already supported. Although I didn't document it, putting a colon after the filename followed by the volume will adjust the volume. For example, "file.mid:50" sets the volume to 50 percent.

[Krobelus]

@Poccil - Oh okay, thanks so much! Do you know the reason for my third error?

Thanks.

Hello.
Is there an RPG Maker VX Version of Pokemon Essentials?

[Lorem Ipsum]

No, I doubt it, because RPGVX is not yet released in English, and it is so new, the language used in it, RGSS 2, is not "ripe", as poccil has said in a previous post.

[Krobelus]

@Lorem Ipsum - Actually, it's released in two days, and it's already been released in Japan, and there are quite a few patches for it to be english. Also, RGSS 2 is like RGSS, but much cleaner. So it doesn't matter if it's in english or not, because the language stays the same =P

I think what he means is how to add a totally new item. Id like to know the same thing myself because yeah its in notes.html but its really confusing. Can someone explain it?

[ali madan]

no I meant how to give the player a potion like that, and thanks...
But I mean by the map how to choose wich country you will have on the map!!!

(Example)
I want Pallet town to be near the sea on the map, or I want map 006 in the sea in the map!!

[poccil]

Ah, I see. You want to associate a map with the region map. Here are the steps.

- While in a game, press F9 to open the debug menu, and then choose "Visual Editor".
- Press S, then choose a map from the list of maps.
- Double click on the map.
- In the list of settings, choose Map Position, then choose a map and position.

[ali madan]

when I press S a problem appear:

Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `chooseMapScreen' for #<MapScreenScene:0x5048930>
PokemonEditor:1871:in `update'
PokemonEditor:1903:in `pbMapScreenLoop'

PokemonDebug:927:in `pbDebugMenu'

PokemonDebug:927:in `pbDebugMenu'

[poccil]

I was aware of that problem and I had fixed it in the most recent version. See also this:

Add the following code before the words "def update" before line 1842 of the script section PokemonEditor:

def chooseMapScreen(title,currentmap)
return pbListScreen(title,MapLister.new(currentmap))
end

It was a method I forgot to add there.

Hey Poccil, I remembered a few features in other Pokemon Games that you might wanna copy into your starter kit:
-Game Corner + Prize Shop
-Trade with NPC feature
-Customizable Music (in Metadata) for surfing/biking etc.
-Battle Tent...? (You pick 3 out of 6 temporary Pokemon randomly generated with random movesets, and you go through a tournament like system, and at the end you are rewarded with said item, whilst you return the chosen Pokemon and get your own back) (Like a Bug Catching Contest + Battle Tower)
-New Terrain Tag for arrow panels that shoot you in a direction until you hit something/another arrow panel, (kinda like ice but shoots you over non-ice tiles until forced to stop by a wall or Special Tile)
-Able to set which backpack is used by which gender, instead of using the same old one
-Secret Base (Only accessible by using Secret power)

-Krobe

[ali madan]

thanks but that wasn't what did I mean! I meant how did poccil choose what country will be on the pokegear!

For example:
How did poccil put his (area 3) on the pokegear map?


sorry if I didn't explain better before

[Lorem Ipsum]

It's all in notes.html.

Literally upload your own town map into the same directory as townmapgen.html, and then do what it says. It's pretty easy, actually.

Where do I go to change the male/female icons?
