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

[poccil]

In the latest release I just made, I completed support for seamlessly connecting maps, the ability
to add custom Pokemon to the game, and clearer errors in the compiler, as well as corrected bugs when reading
the evolution data file.

You are a God...

Just one things...I'm a very organized person and my only gripe about the Kit is the placement of Files. Like Evolve.mid is in the root Folder when it should be in Audio>SE and all those .txt and .dat files should be in the PBS Folder.

If you could organize those like that and change the Code to reflect the changes it would make me so happy

[poccil]

I have made an update with the changes you requested.

Eh I've already started using the last one you made, is there any way i can update my current version without screwing up my game

[NytewolfAU2k7]

That's cool Poccil, keep up the good work

just one question though, what scripts were changed in this update? because I just started using the last update and added all my custom stuff to it...

I buggered up my last version, I'd like to know the answer myself... (I hope that didn't come out rude, I'm tired from lack of sleep )

Migrate your map files, Map Infos, and Tilesest rmxp data files and any resources. It's the only way. Also dont forget to re-edit the scripts

[Sizzle3003]

:'( I think I'm just gonna stick to the current one till a new update comes out with more updates.

I just edited this, coulden't I just download the update and move all the new stuff to my current version :O

[poccil]

Sorry, I didn't keep track of the scripts that were changed. However, here's a list of the modified
scripts from what I can remember:

Game_Map*
Game_Character 1
Game_Character 2
Game_Character 3
Game_Event
Game_Player
Spriteset_Map
Interpreter 7

Thanks for that I think I'll just re-import my stuff though, to avoid what happened to me on friday :/

[Flameguru]

I see Day/Night Works now Any chance you could get a working Weather Script implemented and have weather patterns edited and controlled by a .dat file (and .txt) ? That would be cool

Day/night is working on mine, its in real time, whats wrong with it :O

[poccil]

That probably wasn't what he meant.

Anyway, in the current version you will find a new option on the "Option" screen, "Screen Size", since I've managed to reduce the size of the screen to Game Boy Advance size. And weather support is what I will try to add for the next release.

Aye, Indeed that wood be cool, think of the possibilities :D

lol, we posted at the same time

[Sizzle3003]

Poccil, do you think you will add water reflection at all?

[poccil]

I have identified a bug with the current release. It can be removed by going to Scene_Map and replacing this:

       @spritesets[i].dispose

with this:

       @spritesets[i].dispose if @spritesets[i]

That is all.

Another problem: An optimization I tried seems not to be reliable. Go to the section SpriteWindow and modify pbFadeOutIn:

def pbFadeOutIn(z)
 col=Color.new(0,0,0,0)
 viewport=Viewport.new(0,0,480,360)
 viewport.z=z
 for j in 0..26
  col.set(0,0,0,j*10)
  viewport.color=col
  Graphics.update
 end
=begin
 oldsprites=[]
 ObjectSpace.each_object(Sprite){|o|
  next if o.disposed?
  if o.visible && ( (o.viewport && o.viewport.z<z) || o.z<z )
   o.visible=false
   oldsprites.push([o,o.bitmap,o.src_rect.clone])
   o.bitmap=nil
  end
 }
=end
 yield if block_given?
=begin
 for sprite in oldsprites
  next if sprite[0].disposed?
  sprite[0].visible=true
  sprite[0].bitmap=sprite[1]
  sprite[0].src_rect=sprite[2]
 end
=end
 for j in 0..26

  col.set(0,0,0,(26-j)*10)
  viewport.color=col
  Graphics.update
 end
 viewport.dispose
end

# ------------------------------------------------------
# Pokemon Starter Kit Wild Pokemonn Encounters
# ------------------------------------------------------
# This File contains all Wild Pokemon Data. This File, when in

Debug Mode, will be
# converted into a Data File used by RPG Maker XP. Firstly, the

Number of the Map is
# Placed before the name of the map. Then, Each Map is broken

down into Land, Water,
# and more.
#
# Each subsection contains one of the following:
# - Land - Grass (Terrain Tag 2)
# - Cave - Caves (Terrain Tag 2)
# - Water - Ocean/River (Terrain Tag 6/7)
# - RockSmash - Smashable Rocks (Events)
# - OldRod - Fished with Old Rod (Events)
# - GoodRod - Fished with Good Rod (Events)
# - SuperRod - Fished with Super Rod (Events)
#
# After that follows the encounter data. For Land and Cave

encounter types,
# each entry must have a species and level, separated by commas.

Rarer
# species should be placed lower in the list. For all other

encounter types,
# each entry must have a species, minimum level, and maximum

level, separated by
# commas.
#
# Each species entered must be capitalized with no spaces. This

is for Simplicity.
#
# However, there are some exceptions with the Following Pokemon:
# - NIDORANmA (Male Nidoran)
# - NIDORANfE (Female Nidoran)
# - FARFETCHD (Farfetch'd)
# - MR_MIME (Mr. Mime)
# - PORYGON2 (Porygon 2)
#
# Depending on the encounter type, the number of entries required

varies:
# - Land/Cave: 12 entries
# - Water/RockSmash: 5 entries
# - OldRod: 2 entries
# - GoodRod: 3 entries
# - SuperRod: 5 entries
#
# The Higher up any certain Pokemon is on the Encounters list,

the more of a chance
# the player has to encounter it in a Wild Battle. This repeats

itself for Each
# Encountering Zone, such as Land or Water.

Still ain't going. I don't have a clue what this means

[Aqua Mudkip]

Here's a little question poccil, "Can you change the background when you battle for ex. when your at the mountains battling you can change it to the rocky scene? Or when your at the gym battling can it be put to the gym floor scene? like pokemon diamond or pearl?"

[NytewolfAU2k7]

You have comments at the very bottom of the file, remove them. It *should* work.

=============================================

Poccil, the encounters I have set up in one of my maps doesn't seem to be working. The map in question is stitched between two maps with no encounters (cities) using the new map connections feature...

[Flameguru]

I must say that the Window Size change adds a lot to the game Any chance you could incorporate a Boy/Girl System (Mainly so the Trainer Card looks fine)

Thanks

[.houndoomed]

Um.. this is a fantastic starter kit FG and Poccil, but everytime I try to edit it in RMXP, this comes up:

Project could not be read due to incompatibility between software versions.

Maybe it's because I have the free version or RMXP >>
Is there any way to fix this?

[poccil]

Flame Claw, to solve your problem, the section 001 has only eleven entries instead
of 12 as expected.

Houndoomed, to solve your problem, open Game.rxproj in Notepad and change
"RPGXP 1.02" to "RPGXP 1.01" or, if necessary "RPGXP 1.00", then save the file.


NightwolfAA2k5, I think I can solve your problem. Go to the script section PokemonMap and find
the method setCurrentMap. Add the following after the line labeled "$game_map=newmap[0]":

$PokemonEncounters.setup($game_map.map_id) if $PokemonEncounters

[Sizzle3003]

does anyone think this update is worth copying over all my data?

[NytewolfAU2k7]

There seems to be a problem loading save games, the character stands there, but won't move in any direction...

Thanks for that

Edit: Sorry dude, I just tested it out, even with that line of code the field is still devoid of encounters, I'll test it again, this time with encounters set for the 2 fields on either side.

Edit 2.0: When I exited the affected field and went for a swim in an adjoining field, then returned to the affected field. The problem seemed to disappear...

I agree Flameguru, a Boy/Girl system would be essential, my current one I made manualy therfore during battles, and on the trainer card the Male character is used.
