i was asking because if it was an old one there was a glitch that made the editor do wierd things, but that was a long time ago.

anyway, to change the name click on game > change title (lol, yeah, it's that easy :D)

for the editor, did you change any of the scripts? and can you get a screen shot of what happens when the error pops up? (i know you really need the help, so sorry that it takes so long, >.< )

well, how long ago did you download it (and to get the latest on, go to the first page of this thread, then look at poccils sig, and find the link "pokemon essentials")



.... i don't think there IS an easer way then, click on the "fixed" box in "autonomous movement" and just click the directions you want it to movein.

also, i can see that you are not only new to pokemon essentials but also to rmxp (rpg maker xp), so heres a few links that will help you, but i ask that in the future you read some tutorials on the rmxp basics, or cheat and go to youtube and watch them instead (isn't youtube great?)

npc's tutorial: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kr3xPOsb6Xk

rmxp basics 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kr3xPOsb6Xk
rmxp basics 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=I9teOd4jHeM
rmxp basics 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fddsid2Er8Y

a more in depth rmxp tutorial (which i suggest because it keeps you from getting confused later):
rmxp basics 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2Y_W7kD8LU
rmxp basics 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQvWaRLSy80
rmxp basics 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9nt0pPDJQ4
rmxp basics 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQNKStryrbY
rmxp basics 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCF65yAARHs
rmxp basics 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I76ZAY6mziM



did you remember to set he player sprite?

You know, I don't believe I've ever looked at an "rmxp basics" tutorial. I just downloaded postality knight's edition (not an endorsement, I just didn't know the difference at the time, and this version was free), messed around until I could actually do stuff, then bought the full version. Tutorials may help, but the best way to learn is to teach yourself.

Also, congrats on your Modship at RMXP.org, Poccil!

Is there anyway I could make an animated title and intro?

If u can wait a little, the next time poccil make an update of the starterkit, i will modify it to put an animated introduction/title screen.
The principle is very simple : teleport the player at the very beginning of the game on a special map where the introduction/title screen is made.

some one deleted my topic about my error. but here is mine from poiccil's starter kit

when you edited the intro, did you remember to put the set player part of the event in it?

[fudgy]

i didnt edit the intro...at all.
i just deleted all the other maps, instead of the intro.

[Minorthreat0987]

Does anyone know where the function that controls water reflection is located. Poccil updated water reflection and just want to update that particular function to my file without updating everything. Please help.

[fudgy]

go into the notes html page in the pokestarter kit is.
it tells you there, and the title is "water relection"

No, sorry, I should have been more specific, I meant the actual script function in the script editor of RMXP. Thank you though.

[fudgy]

oh im sorry, but i dont not know that
ima newb xD

[Jirbytaylor]

@Minorthreat0987:
There should be a file that contains all the updated scripts on Poccil's website.
Something like this:
http://upokecenter.com/projects/poke...-month-day.txt
But I'm not sure there is one for 2008-06-01, the latest update... he should really link to them on the Essentials page! *prods Poccil*

The list of the files u are speaking about is now there : http://upokecenter.com/projects/pokestarter/ .
Apparently he put a new version of the starter, yesterday I had seen that the 26/05 version was still there and now it is from 1/06 :s.

I also tried changing the 18 to 19, but it gave me the same message.

well, the only way that you wouldn't have the sprite show up, is that in the intro it doesn't set the players sprite... so either you edited the intro, or you edited trainers/trainernames (one of the two) and changed something about them that you shouldn't have...

you need to get rid of the words in this part of it, because that part is only numbers, no words, get rid of the "god, spirit, dark" and stuff. apart from that, i have no idea... o.0 (and if you added 2, then it should be 19, so you were right to change that, but the error is something else, ... hm... this is hard...

villagephotos.com <never used this one, just found it in a search, so don't ask me if it's good)

and on a side note, you play dungeon siege? i LOVE THAT GAME! :D

[Aqua Mudkip]

Aqua Mudkip: Can someone please help me with this problem? Everytime I try to play a ME after pressing the start button in the intro, the ME never plays and it always ends up in a syntax error when I do. Can someone help? I also want to put in the Stripes H transiton in my intro.

Aqua Mudkip to [anyone who can answer plz.]: Err... I got a question... how do you like after pressing the start button in the title screen make it play a ME/SE/BGM and then after that do a transition (besides splash) ex: Stripes V, H?

The quoted question was never answered so could someone please answer? Help will be really handy. :D

[yaoimutt]

erm, is it possable to set what name the player has if they don't pick one them selfs?

[RM2K3kid]

What a wonderful starterkit we have here! I've been having a blast playing around with it! Even started shoehorning Pokémon Liquid into it. :D

Just a question for y'all.. I'm trying to setup a battle with your 'rival' so that he uses the Pokémon that counters what you chose.
Not sure what I'm getting at? Well think of how you choose Charmander and your rival chooses Squirtle to 'counter' the fire type. I want to set it up so mine works the same way. I have the trainer setup in the trainers file with 3 different Pokemon but I require some help because when I set the ID for the trainer up it chooses the last comment every time and wont let me change it. So I fight the fire Pokémon no matter what I choose.

Help much appreciated.
Cheers.

just set a variable when the player picks the pokemon, (i say set a variable, because it would take atleast 2 switches, but only 1 variabl,it saves more variables and switche for stuff this way)

anyway, take a variable, if the player chooces a fire pokemon, then set the variabl to 1, if the player chooses a water pokemon, then set the variable to 2, i think you get the point.

now, go to the rival event, and make 4 pages, the first page will be set so that if the player has the water starter, then the rival will have a grass start, set the battle up, but make the condition for the event page set to the variable and make it equal to the number that was set if the player choose a water pokemon, then repeat the procces for each page, but leave the forth page

on the forth page set what happens when the player wins (just like normal) and set it to auto run, then set self switch b (because the battle events turned on the self switch a) add a new blank page, set it to self switch b, that way the event goes away after the post battle event is over. :D

Thats excatly the way I had it set out. But for some reason it reads the first page and ignores the rest. Seems the script only reads the comments of the first page and initializes them but not any others..

The problem come from the comments, so use the example in the notes :

Spoiler:

Conditional Branch: Script: pbTrainerBattle(PBTrainers::LEADER_Roxanne,"Roxanne",_I("Excellent. You have earned the Stone Badge."))
-- here you can add event commands to be run when the player wins, but this is not necessary
Script: $Trainer.badges[0]=true
Text: \PN received the Stone Badge!
Text: The Stone Badge proves you can succeed in the Pokemon League.
Control Self Switch: A =ON
Branch End

and adapt it to your game. This thing will work. For the comments, it has to do with the compilation but i dont know how to get rid of this problem.

oh yeah, i forgot about that, lol, sorry, add another page, put this page in front of the others, leave it blank with no conditions. (but remember to make ALL the other pages have a condition, or else they will conflict.
