Do you mean VX, because I don't think he has released the starter kit.

I meant that when I actually downloaded VX it didn't work, not the stater kit or anything. Probably just me, but still.

its not that, its just everything you say seems a bit like you're saying "oh you was too lazy to read every post i posted" give me a break ive only been on these forums for about a week i didnt have time to read nearly 1000 posts

i might think better of you if you TRY and help me with the other problems (in case you havent noticed i want to get things done, i dont want to dilly dally)

There's... there's a "search thread for keyword" option. It's not that difficult to think up a couple of words other people might have used to describe the same problem. Who said anything about reading the entire thread?

Not that I doubt your ability to form a solid and completely accurate impression of me within a week, but I have actually answered half the questions you recently posted in this thread (and explained why I didn't answer the other half - I don't know, or the answer is already somewhere else). Okay, maybe I didn't tell you exactly what to do for all of them and provide scripts, but that's generally what happens. I'm happy to give pointers, and I may even go more in-depth into something I could fully explain in 10 minutes (e.g. the alternate forms question), but I'm not here to do all your work for you. Others would appreciate the pointers in and of themselves.

Alright, so I'm trying to create a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon style game with the Pokémon battle system. Obviously the first thing I'll need to do is "skip" having the trainer backsprite and just have the first Pokémon in the party. Is this possible?

It's possible, yes, but it requires careful navigation of the scripts. After all, the trainer backsprite part of battles was specifically written in in the first place, so it can be written out again.

Essentially, there will be some defs that display the trainers, animate them to throw out pokémon, then move them off-screen. "All" you'd need to do is bypass them and/or modify one or two of them to show the lead pokémon instead (e.g. the "show trainer as the battle fades in" script, changed to "show the lead pokémon").

I'm not hot on the battle scripts, and this kind of modification is a major one that requires lots of changes in lots of places (plus I've never thought about doing this, so I wouldn't know off-hand). Basically, all I can say, without putting in serious effort (I have other things to do), is that it is possible.

Wow... I didn't know it would be so difficult. I thought just cut out the trainer and show the Pokemon. (Well, I knew it'd be harder than that...) I guess I'll see what comes round. Though, do you know which script and which line has the trainer backsprite data?

Ih, there must have been a downlaod error. All you do is go to resources and hit import. This might be the problem. If you are using a single sprite you must add a $ when you save it or it will not work. For multiple sprites you do not add the $. Hope that helped.

You can create it: Resize *2, grid 4x4

Columns: Down Left Right Up
Rows: nowalk walk1 nowalk walk2

Adding image of May RMXP character created by me from original sprites downloaded from spriters resource.

Thanks, that information will help alot.

Doesn't really matter, I emailed the rpg maker people and they offered me to swap to rmxp, so I did.

Lots of them. Search for "trainer" and "player" and you should get on your way. Also, you should look at pbStartBattle, and see if you can follow things along from there. Just comment out any reference to loading a trainer sprite, and you should be on your way.

I need a script where a event follows the main character (you)
Like a pokemon following the player
How can I do this
I'm making a game that after you get your starter (Mew) it will follow you where ever you go. How can I do this?
Can someone give me a script of the above description please. You will be credited in my game Pokemon Mithril in the Games Showcase.
Please help, you will be a big help to my game.

Dependent event exists, but if u run, d.e can't fo faster. Example is "Brawly" in "Cave" in "Test map".

 

[Paradox101]

Hello.
I'm just going to request a little something... does anyone have the typical "Falling" sound, used in such games like R/s/e? You know, the sound effect that played when you fell down a pit, or something similar to such.

 

[ayevdayev]

i dont get it where in the cave or test map does someone follow you where ever you go and warps with you
can you (or someone else) give me a more detailed explanation

 

[Klofkac]

In starter kit are test maps. Allright? OK. From first map after beginning go outside, there is small cave. Go inside. there is "Brawly." Talk with him and begins fight (no PkMn.) If you beat him, he will follow you and battle with you like in D/P series. But safari zone messes up. He can leave, if you talk with him.

Another type of dependent event. Just go to demo 1 of connected map and there is girl. Talk with her, then say NO. Girl will follow you, but wont battle with you. Good event for your mew.

But there is little trouble. If you run or ride bike, event is slower and if you turn 45°, event will go giagonal and even over inpassable tiles. Horewer, D.E. will jump over events.

theres 2 ways you can do this

1. on the visual editor double click the map

2. on the map itself on rpgmaker XP (or VX if you're using that) you need to put an event to auto start that has set weather to sandstorm, or raining or snowing or whatever you want the weather to be.

(Newbie question)

Where do you learn proper coding? I want to not have to use the starter kit completely for my Poke game.
Thanks.

1000th post!

Thanks.

If you want it for RPG Maker XP or any other version of RPG Maker. Try looking up rmxp.com and there is one other but anyways just look around a bit if you need specific help just ask someone(not me I suck).

Also my question. How do you make switches that you use in scripts turn on/off in events. Thank You

 

[ayevdayev]

I cant find demo 1 of connected map.

watever i found the map, im gonna test it now.

 

[Klofkac]

Just use top right-1 computer and choose "Demo 1".
Here is the image:

After testing I discovered you can't surf,fly,teleport,dig with dependent event.

 

[ayevdayev]

omg it worked thank you so much, you wil be credited in my game for this!

 

[Klofkac]

I solved the dependent HM problem. Just in script section PokemonField make comment lines 1875 - 1877, 2219 - 2222, 2256 - 2259, 2340 - 2343, 2364 - 2367 by adding a # before text. With this modified script use dependent only for your mew.

Is existing some PkMn Ranger starter kit?

I am adding my rxdata scripts, common events and example map 40. BACKUP YOUR DATA!
