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

[Cilerba]

What exactly do you mean by "it stopped working?"
Did you get some sort of error at all?

 

[FL]

Does anyone have a DPPt/BW move list, I recently updated my pokemon and they include the newer moves. Was just checking to see if anyone has already release a moves.txt that includes the newer moves. I have begun working on my own and If there are no complete versions I will continue mine and release it when done I guess. Let me know :) thanks in advance.

Just realized the latest version of essentials already has it. Will be upgrading my project hope it all goes well...

Do you knows that the news effects need to be manually coded.
And the BW moves won't come with none of essentials versions!

Its all good. Some data went missing but i fixed it. The problem I'm having now is with my poke center script. I cant figure out what to write in the script so she actually heals my Pokemon and poke balls come up on the thingy. I checked essentials wiki and it doesn't actually tell you the script to put in it only has pics which are hard to read properly, can anyone help me?

I didn't know if is a glitch, but I can jump (using surf) in bridges (or other platform type) to water O__o
This isn't exactly a glitch, but when I go to the below in a 50x300 map, the FPS goes to approximately 10 T__T

Look inside of the map 'Pokemon Center' that's placed under the Test Map. There should be three events, two for the Pokéballs, and one for the nurse. You can edit those and copy them to your map.

The Poccil site, http://upokecenter.com/projects/pokestarter/ , returns! Maybe new content for essentials come out.
I think's that this site returns last week.

Hey i was i wondering if anyone knows how to script the professor so he tells you to pick your pokemon. I copied the one from essentials but when i walk into the lab it goes strait to choosing your starter, no opening text. I scripted in the pokedex but after i choose my starter professor dissapears.

 

[Mrchewy]

Thanks for the bug reports FL. They're very handy indeed!

Poccil actually implemented a way to fix this - by setting the terrain tag of bridge tiles to 13.

Most of what you're doing isn't strictly Essentials related, as displaying dialogue, controlling switches, move routes, and so on are core parts of RGXP. Plus I don't really understand what you're asking.

Do you want to know how to add more speech? Easy, use "Show Text". Want to stop the professor from disappearing? Make sure that there's no switch controls on her.

I get this error when using the default Battle palace, tower, etc. in my game.
this events work on an untouched kit, and I have edited some scripts, nothing fancy only fixed bugs, if anyone knows how to fix it please help me.
And if someone knows where was the day/night script, I changed it to an old one in my project, but I can't remember/find it now.

Telling us what scripts you edited might help us help you out.

I edited Scene_Intro

PokemonDayCare
PokemonItems
and the one for the day/night but I can't remember the name (if you can tell me)

Forget about it, I got the cause of this error.

I found more bugs, I not sure about versions.

*Helpful list*

Can we have an official, updated list in a separate thread or something? I feel like there are a bunch of fixes that are lost in the pages of this thread. I'd make and mantain it myself it it meant me popping in every page to look what was posted, but I feel that there are some of you who know fixes that have been mentioned in the past.

A lot of these fixes are actually posted on the Wiki, and they're pretty well accounted for. FL has been the only person to actively post bug fixes though, so just search through his post history ; )

 

[udivision]

Just searched "fix" in the wiki. It seems like even then, the bugs and fixes are scattered about, so you'd only find the fix if you were reading in about a specific feature anyway.

It's been a while sine poccil updated, so I was thinking we could make a "fixed" version of his latest one.

EDIT: Wow, didn't know how extensive the bugs in this were after doing some more digging. I guess I should hold off on doing much with it yet.

This isn't exactly a glitch, but when I go to the below in a 50x300 map, the FPS goes to approximately 10 T__T

I make more tests and found that this occurs in 2010 April version but, for some reason, not in 2009 November version (even if I disable the Day/Night thing)!

I are USING tag 13 in differents ways, and none works =C

Yeah, I agree that one page with this will be good to the wiki. This thread is rich in information, had a lot of this bugs, some I pick for this list. Maybe one courageous person read at least one big part of this thread and list some bug corrections. I also had some in my PC (like the ItemMale and ItemFemale glitch and no pokedex cry/area Glitch)

Bridges are fiddly things, and well deserve their own page in the wiki (it's pending creation by anyone who wants to, hint hint).

To solve your problem, I think you need to go into PokemonHiddenMoves, and find the below procedure. Then add in the red part.

Events.onAction+=proc{|sender,e|
 terrain=Kernel.pbFacingTerrainTag
 if pbIsWaterTag?(terrain) && 
     !$PokemonGlobal.surfing && 
     !pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataBicycleAlways) [COLOR=Red]&&[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=Red] !$PokemonMap.bridge[/COLOR]
  Kernel.pbSurf
  return
 end
}

That should prevent interactions with the water (i.e. to start surfing) while on a bridge. This won't stop the player choosing to use Surf from the party screen, though (although who does that?) - you'll need to edit the CanUseMove hidden move handler for Surf (just above the code quoted above) to add in a "return false if $PokemonMap.bridge" bit (without a message).

Maybe one courageous person read at least one big part of this thread and list some bug corrections. I also had some in my PC (like the ItemMale and ItemFemale glitch and no pokedex cry/area Glitch)

The wiki intentionally separates the bugs into the various pages, for a number of reasons, including relevance to the rest of the article, not having one huge page that you can get lost in, and less chance of bug repetition.

Having said that, a page listing all articles containing bug fixes would be useful, and would provide a base where people can mention other bugs they've noticed/fixed (the talk page, of course). Actually, I think this can be a category rather than an actual page, with the category talk page a dumping ground for bugs/fixes to be moved into appropriate articles, as well as any other useful links (e.g. to posts in this thread). I'll get on that shortly.

I read over the attack animation page on the wiki site, but my question was not answered there. so i decided i will post here.

When doing attack animations, i am using rmxp's editor (the custom one doesn't work)
so when i do attacks like leech seed, or fly, or moves that take multiple animations... what do i do?

Like would i make an animation for leech seed.
then does it use the animation for absorb for the next turn? or how does it exactly work lol.

Hey guys,
most of those who have a computer as "slow" as mine might have noticed,
that essentials lags in constant intervals.
Even with ENABLESHADING=false, my version (and any other clean one i've tested with shading disabled) lags exactly every 5 steps.
As that kind of really bugs me, i at least wanna try to fix or improve that code block (or delete it depending on its importance), but I have no idea where i should start looking, or even what exactly i'm looking for.
Does anybody have an idea what causes this lag?
I would really appreciate any help or approach...

Greetings,
Sichlor
