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

[chessplayer]

Well, here's the error box,
hxxp://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error2do5.png
It comes out when I try to remove a dependent event. I only encounter this problem when I try to remove the dependent event from a group.

Well, does anyone know how to overcome this problem btw?

Sorry bout the links, I don't have permission to post urls yet. So just replace the xx with tt.

Yeah and the saving thing, thanks, I totally forgot.

thank you, I have another question, how do you link maps together. I am using a door warp to conect maps, but I don't like it

 

[Wichu]

I dunno if I was ignored or what, but I seriously
need help with this,
it essential for my project...

I hope somebody can help me.

This is a bit harder than the trainer battle ones... Since the wild Pokémon start off-screen and move on, you have to set their x to be 480 (or however large your screen is) less than where you want it to end up. Find these lines in PokeBattle_ActualScene and edit them.

pbAddSprite("enemybase",-256,96+@yoffset,enemybase,@viewport) # ends at (224,96)

This modifies the positioning of the enemy battle base. -256 is the x value (-256+480=224). If you edit that, you'll also have to edit this line with the new position:

 break if @sprites["enemybase"].x>=224

As for the Pokémon, it's these lines which need editing (remember to take 480 away from your desired position):

@sprites["pokemon1"].x=-192 # ends at 144*2

@sprites["pokemon3"].x=-240

Hope this helps!

Below line 401 in DependentEvents (should read like this)

events=$PokemonGlobal.dependentEvents

try adding

events.compact!

with the exclamation mark. I don't know if it will help, but give it a go.

Run the Editor.exe tool, and use the Visual Editor. Read the help window.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.

well there must still be an error on:
"Message: Script error within map 25 (Test Map 2)"

 

[chessplayer]

Well, all I have done is add two to three dependent events. All calling them and removing them with different names. When I talk to the first guy behind me, it calls up the common event which shows the choice to remove him. I used the Kernel.pbRemove... in the common event. It works fine with just one dependent event but with two or three. It crashes.

Okay, try this. Under line 403 (or the nearest one which is like this):

for i in 0...events.length

add

next if !events[i]

That should work.

 

[chessplayer]

what about event.compact! Should I leave that in as well?

Well, it did work in a way. However it removes the dependent events from the back. It should remove them starting from the front.

Now it's like this.

Player----->, <------Tom, Mary, John

I face behind, talk to Tom, removes him, it doesn't crashes anymore but John disappears. I talk to tom again and remove him, Mary disappears and lastly Tom. What should I tweak to remove Tom first, followed by%2

 

[Wichu]

You can take event.compact! out. I'm not too sure on the other problem...

 

[chessplayer]

Wichu, thx for trying to help. But is there nothing you can do about the script? The common event should be removing the first event behind the player. And I did think of how to solve my second problem, the one where the chars are swapped out of the room. But scripting wise, I have no idea. Can you help me?

Well, when you have 2 or 3 dependent events, you walk backwards, the whole party teleports behind you. Well, what if they only swap position with you one by one until you pass all of them? Like this, let 1,2,3,4 be the chars.

1,2,3,4 -----> 2,1,3,4 ----> 3,2,1,4 ------> 4,3,2,1

Well, is it very hard to achieve? And can you briefly explain to me what you command line did to help me earlier? Also what does the event compact do? I am trying to learn RGSS. Where did you start learning and how long did it took you?

Thanks again.

hmm acn someone tell me why:
1. I walk on my table, trees etc and i have done the proprity thingy
2. I jump up the ledges too
3. i walk on the water

Check the layers above; make sure you're not erasing with anything except the very top-left tile (right-click to see what tile it is). If you accidentally used a passable tile to erase, then everything underneath will also be passable.

 

[ForeverRed]

hmm still doesnt work :\

 

[Atomic Reactor]

what script do i edit to make so that space bar doesnt do anything?
Or is that unscriptable?

 

[Wichu]

PokemonEntry, line 77. Remove the 0x20 from

return [0x43,0x0d,0x20]

 

[Ty 101]

Many questions!

I have already asked this but, no one helped!

How do you make an in game trade?
OR,
How do you remove a specific Pokemon species from your party(only 1 of that species)?

Also

how do you do a mystery gift?

Also

Has anyone tested the trade thing that is in the pokemon essentials folder?
OR,
Does anyone know a different way to do trades?

 

[Lady Berlitz]

I've finally tried to add a battle, and it seems to not work. I do know the problem, but I do not know how to fix it.

1. If I want to delete a Trainer Type/Battle, where can I do so?

2. In a script, how would I add the Trainer's statistics in the script, such as the Trainer's name, Pokémon, etc.? I seem to always get a SyntaxError when I play, and it has gotten quite bothersome...

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Heya, My first actual question concerning the starter kit ^^
Is there any way that I can access the Pokemon Storage system remotely from say, the Pokegear?
Also, how do I add cards to the Pokegear?
I hope someone can help, as I havn't a clue what to do.
But for the Remote Storage, would I have to write a script? because I don't know ruby.

how do you insert the paint file for a world map? I canot find where this is (I need to insert Kanto). I am going to have 4, maybe 6 regions in my game, but there is only data for two world maps in the game right now

 

[pkmn.master]

Sorry for multi-posting.My first comment was ignored =)
I seem to have a problem with the non playable characters (NPCS) and battle sprites for example:When I uploaded a new trainer battle sprite and npc,the battle sprite had a white block around it during battle,same thing happend with an npc when placed and used. so,it didnt remove the white frame like it was suspose to. Does anyone know how to fix this or a website that has sprites and npcs specifically fixed in size for Pokemon Essentials?

Thanks in advance.

The Pokemon Essentials is made to where the world map is continually created automatically when you connect the town/route maps you made in the proper places.
