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

[Ki77y666]

When i start my game up i get this message: One or more fonts used in this game do not exist in the system. The game can be played, but the look of the games text will not be optimal. The game will now install the necessary fonts. The font "Power Green Narrow" could not be instaled. The font "Power Green Small" could not be instaled. The font "Power Red and Blue" could not be instaled. The font "Power Clear" could not be instaled. The font "Power Red and Green" could not be instaled.

How do i fix this?
Thanks in advance.


Edit: Don't worry I fixed it.

I need a lot of help, guys. I want to learn how to make advanced scripting for pokestarter... I'm making a little feature for my game.. so I'm scared to announce it.. I don't think anyone has done this before. This is what I've done with the help of my scripter so far:

class DualScreen_Scene < SpriteWindow_Selectable
def initialize
super(480, 320, 480, 320)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)# this shows we want to show a new bitmap
[URL="https://self.contents.font.name/"]self.contents.font.name[/URL] = $fontface#defines the font
self.contents.font.size = $fontsize#defines the font size
self.contents.font.color = normal_color# defines the font colour
refresh
end #method
def refresh#defines refresh
self.contents.draw_text(4,4,120,32,"Look! Text")#this draws the text(x, y, width, height
for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size#shows the actors sprite within the window
x = i * 32 + 4#deinfes size and X co-ordinates
y = 32#defines Y co-ordinates
for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size#shows the actors sprite within the window
x = i * 32 + 4#deinfes size and X co-ordinates
y = 32#defines Y co-ordinates
class Battle_SystemLesson
  def ram
  @ram = attack
    if @ ram  
    calc. battle damage
    if defense<offense
    def battle damage
    @battle damage = difference.offense.defense
  end
end
class battle_systemlesson
  def wingshield
    @wingshield = defense
    if @ wingshield
      calc. battle damage
      if defense offense
        def batlle damage
          battle damage=difference.offense.defense
        end
      end
    end
  end
end
#this is an example of a global variable
#These can be called anywhere in the editor at anytime
begin
def hello
@hello = "hello"
if input.trigger != INPUT:
'p' "hello"
if  else
end
@hello = $hello
end
end
end

Please seek out errors for me. What I really need is a page for instructions and help on scripting for pokestarter, especially battle systems!! When I tried to run the game with this script, it said the battle_systemlesson was a syntax error. SO i guess that's not a valid command! *whump* My scripter also said that after implementing the battle system I would need to work with an AI. Please help me out! Sorry to be a noobish sounding person!

Hi i have little problem with my Dual Screen in Battle System. I change this lines but still dont know why that cut half of my second screen.

if @viewport.rect.y>Graphics.height/16
@viewport.rect.y-=4
@viewport.rect.height+=8
elsif @viewport.rect.y>2

@viewport.rect.height+=16
end

Hey you! your problem is: you're not an admin on your PC. You must be an admin in order to install those fonts, otherwise... well, you wont be able to do it. But they're just fonts.

Uhhmmm, I already noticed your "I fixed it", well, ignore this if you want.

I've helpfully spaced out your code and coloured it in, so we can all see more clearly what you've been writing. Blue are individual defs, orange are class startings/endings, and the red at the end is just weird stuff that I don't know what's going on with it.

Your syntax error is being caused by a missing "end" at the end of the first class (just before Battle_SystemLesson with capitals is started). Because it's missing, the first class is never closed, and it doesn't recognise any new classes you want to add in after it.

In scripting, it's always a really good idea to lay the code out so you can easily see what's going on. That's why lines inside "if...else" statements are indented (as you've done) - they would technically work just as well if they weren't, but the code wouldn't be as easy to read.

Also, RGSS class and variable names are case-sensitive, and all class names must start with a capital letter. So I'm guessing this line:

class battle_systemlesson

should be:

class Battle_SystemLesson

 

[StormRuler]

Hi. I'm using Pocci's starter kit.
Whenever i make a trainer battle with my own trainer type i made and start the battle this error occurs.
It says something about a cinstant variable not being initialized.

I'm not that good at scripting so I'm not sure what it's about.

Ah! Thank you so much Maruno. You're so much help!
The last thingies were to teach me stuff. I never really understood, though.

Also, RGSS class and variable names are case-sensitive, and all class names must start with a capital letter. So I'm guessing this line:

class battle_systemlesson

should be:

class Battle_SystemLesson

I had a feeling that was it. I wish it wasn't case sensitive. Though I'm sure there's a great reason for it! Ok! If anyone knows anything about a guide for scripting, please tell me! I'll probably be back soon for more help! XD

erg, it still says syntax error. The line is now 21 - i bumped it up a little to save a little space. I guess Battle_SystemLesson isn't really a class. :/ My scripter taught me wrong! <_< Oh well.

We were using Battle_SystemLesson to define a attack and defense move in a special feature/contest for the game. I really need help with battle sytems! >_<"

 

[Wichu]

You still have missing 'end's in your script. In between

y = 32#defines Y co-ordinates

and

class Battle_SystemLesson

there should be 3 'end's. You've also duplicated these lines:

for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size#shows the actors sprite within the window
x = i * 32 + 4#deinfes size and X co-ordinates
y = 32#defines Y co-ordinates

However, looking through your code a bit more thoroughly, it seems your problem is that you don't actually know RGSS :\
For example, your variable names have got spaces in, you're referring to nonexistent variables, you're trying to define methods within methods (you're probably not trying to do that, but that's what the interpreter's going to think)... Have you had a look through some tutorials? You should learn the basics of scripting and how the Essentials battle system works before jumping straight in...

 

[Fraot]

Hey guys! I don't know exactly if this question goes here but since is about RMXP and the essentials kit, I think I'm not wrong.

Well, my question is:
Is there a way to play musics like on Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie? If some of you have played those games, then, you already know what am I talking about, if not... well, I'll explain.

Lets say you composed two(or more) midis, but those have different instruments(same tempo, same notes and keys), in other words the same midi but with different instruments. This would be for changing the music style depending on the map you are. And for example: You're walking on Route 1 and the Route 1 music is played with a happy style, but when you reach Viridian City, the music changes to urban style but its still the same music as Route 1; so, the music changes but without starting from the beginning again.

Ahem! My english is not so good, so I can't explain this better, but in addition, I want to play the musics of my maps like on Banjo-Kazooie. Did you get me?

 

[SageRaziel]

I've figured out most of the questions I posted earlier with help from other people. There are only a few questions left. Which are;
1.) How do I edit the Radio/Ipod so that only music I want to appear on there does so. I don't want all the music in the game to appear there.
2.) How do I set a Pokemon to roam randomly over the entire world map? Also how do I set a Pokemon to roam randomly over pre-selected maps?
3.) How do I set up a legendary battle? The type where the legendary appears as an overworld sprite, the players walks up and taps "A" to begin the battle.
4.) Anyone know the script to set up contests? Functionable contests that is...
5.) I have noticed that all the new Pokemon are present in the game, but I've also noticed the new evolutions aren't entered in the PBSPokemon files. Should I enter these evolutions in manually myself, or are they entered already?

1.) How do I edit the Radio/Ipod so that only music I want to appear on there does so. I don't want all the music in the game to appear there. Its in the PBS folder i believe
2.) How do I set a Pokemon to roam randomly over the entire world map? Also how do I set a Pokemon to roam randomly over pre-selected maps? Read the notes
3.) How do I set up a legendary battle? The type where the legendary appears as an overworld sprite, the players walks up and taps "A" to begin the battle. Just like you would put an NPC on the map but make it a pokemon OW Sprite and start a trainer battle...
4.) Anyone know the script to set up contests? Functionable contests that is... I dunno
5.) I have noticed that all the new Pokemon are present in the game, but I've also noticed the new evolutions aren't entered in the PBSPokemon files. Should I enter these evolutions in manually myself, or are they entered already? They should be entered if not you have to enter them yourself if you want the pokemon to evolve

yeah.. I said I didn't know how to script and I was looking for some help.. I'd need a basic page <---- stupid..

XD

yeah, I need the basics. Sorry to be an idiot. <_<'
But rememeber I didn't write this myself, so I had no idea what was going on. He was trying to tell me what this stuff meant, but like many first times... I didn't get it much. Please give me a link to basics or something. Especially one that works for RGSS. I've searched, but I just don't get it... I guess i'm just not an RGSS person. :/

 

[SageRaziel]

Thank you Shikamaru. I've checked the notes for the roaming Pokemon by the way. I couldn't find it are you sure it's there? Also setting up a Pokemon OW Event...If I did it that way wouldn't it be uncatchable? I also wanted to know how to set it so Pokemon wouldn't stop growing at level 100. I want my new max level to be 999. Of course no player will ever train one to that level, but it ensures they can always level up so my game doesn't get boring even after you beat the Elite Four. Thanks agian Shikamaru.

~Sage Raziel

NOTE: I checked the PBS Folder for the Ipod/Radio editor...I didn't see it so either I don't have it, or it's not in the correct place.

 

[Teej20]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched the thread, and Google, and found nothing.

When I try to open my Pokedex, I get this error:

Exception: NameError
Message: undefined local variable or method `center' for #<Window_Pokedex:0x9cd1538>
PokemonPokedex:62:in `refresh'
PokemonPokedex:45:in `each'
PokemonPokedex:45:in `refresh'
PokemonPokedex:21:in `commands='
PokemonPokedex:412:in `pbRefreshDexList'
PokemonPokedex:295:in `pbStartScene'
PokemonPokedex:873:in `pbStartScreen'
PokemonMenu:145:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'
PokemonMenu:142:in `pbFadeOutIn'
PokemonMenu:142:in `pbStartPokemonMenu'

Then the game crashes. I did add one custom Pokemon to the game, and I'm pretty sure I imported it correctly when I applied the October 22 2009 update. But the error never appeared before I installed the update...

There are also notes in the scripts themselves. See PokemonRoaming, and right at the top are some comments for how you define both the switch to activate/deactivate the roamer and the way the roamers move around (each map leads to one or more other maps). This question has been answered several times previously, so thanks for bothering to search through the thread and not waste our time.

There is a script that spawns a wild pokémon encounter. Create an event with the pokémon's overworld sprite, put that script in it (with an optional "RAAR!" message beforehand) and it'll be fine.

You can make the level limit be whatever you want. Look in PBExperience, line 67. But recall how long it takes to get from level 99 to level 100 (it only gets longer from then on, too), and bear in mind that unless your game is infinitely long and interesting throughout, people won't play long enough to realise you've changed the level limit. Unless you do something drastically different to levelling up.

Sorry im posting again, but my last question wasn't answered.

Looks like you haven't defined "RIVAL" as a trainer type.

 

[StormRuler]

Thx so much.
That bug has been bugging my for days

 

[SageRaziel]

Thanks Maruno. btw My game include Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and two custom regions. Which is why I wanted to increase the max level. I understand that it gets harder to level up, which is why the level curve of enemy trainers also slows. Now when you say PB it's not the PBS folder apparently, cause there is no folder for it. I'm assuming I open RPG Maker and go to the script section...But thank you for your help. Sorry about asking a question that's been answered. I attempted to search the thread but I guess I missed it somewhere. Sorry.
