Wow, that looks cool! Great idea! Gotta go for now :(

 

[RM2K3kid]

Very nice indeed. Can't wait to play :D ...

BTW, I just noticed those screens are grainy. Is it supposed to be like that?

I voted "Good" on the lil poll thingy.... yeah... not bad!

That grainyness (don't know if that's an actual word :laugh: )is caused by the file being saved first as a bmp and then as a gif file, I apologize about that. By the way, I started up my project page @

Pokemon GS Advanced Project page​

I hope you like it, but the setup may not work without a 51MB .lzh file. Is there any site where I can host that file?

 

[PatriotFan89]

Sadly, the setup doesn't work without the file. I don't know of any place you could host it unless the file size is lower... Did you put it into .zip format? and if you did already or the file size is still high, try to compress it more by putting it into .rar format, then into .zip format.

Tried doing all of that, but it was still very high! There should be some other way... :(

Just don't use the RM2K setup. Make a custom install (www.clickteam.com) or zip all the files together w/o all the RTP. Make sure you add the "FullPackageFlag=1" line in the .ini file if you do this.

Or compress with 7-Zip. 7-Zip compresses the file much more.

try removing as much music as you aren't using as well as anything else you've imported but haven't used and that will reduce the file size.

Thanks for that advice, I found that it worked, but I will do it later, now for some of the changes in the game...

-Route 35 seems smaller, but it may not be.

-Route 36 has been redesigned

-Route 37 IS smaller.

-Ecruteak City has been expanded.

Hopefully, no more changes like that will be made as I try to size everything perfectly. If I have to, I may resort to using one map for each area! :P

 

[DarkMage31]

Sounds good! Why did you make those changes?

It wasn't on purpose, I tried to perfectly size it, but that is impossible unless I make a seperate map for each route, town and city.

Single maps work better i think. they did for me.

 

[Krazy_Meerkat]

awkwardsliencer, is that your site in your sig?

 

[rubyrulez]

I think those single maps may work out, so from now on I will do that. Thank you.

P.S. if that doesn't work out, I will continue with multiple areas in one map.

 

[Krazy_Meerkat]

I always wanted to try using one big map for multiple areas but it would be too hard.

 

[rubyrulez]

Trust me, it is...

Anyway, I should be updating with more screens soon of Secret Island 1. The Secret Islands are like the Rainbow Islands from FR/LG, but there will be more of them for an even bigger game, with added gameplay. And, after beating Red at the end, there will be a champions island with its own club and battle center. Anyways, watch for my next post!

 

[DarkMage31]

Sounds great, rubyrulez! BTW, I think I was unable to download the demo or something of this because there was a missing lzh.

 

[rubyrulez]

I know, I will use Clickteam's Install Maker as was reccomended, but first I will delete all RTP I don't need. I tried it before, but it screwed up my game a whole lot.
