Sure you can work on the CMS with us.. Well by us, I mean DarkMage lol...
Yes I will leave all the information there, I even left little comments to help people understand what I was doing.. But can you tell me what you changed? Are you talking about the battle system or the neter hero name thing?
Ok, I have already done the enter hero name thing, The main reason I wanted it was so I could display the name of the pokemon you entered as a picture, I am going to make the bar with the HP and everything (including name) move up and down like in the game. I did that just for effect, but I want to display the name of the pokemon you're using for so many different reasons. If you ask me, It was worth it. We can use that enter hero name thing for ANYTHING now, I even used the real graphics from Ruby/Sapphire so it does actually look prety authentic.
I will just quickly explain the other part of it in case anyone needs to use it for a part of our game, It works by entering the letters you selected as variables. I made a coder which puts all those variables together into two different variables (which I am going to call cookies) the first half and the second half of the name. Then later I made a decoder which reads those two cookies and splits them back up into their 6 variables and displays them as letters. This way we can enter lots of names by coding them into cookies. (saves me like 5000 variables if we were to enter all 382 or whatever amount of ever-changing pokemon there are now) Also the letters are displayed at the co-ordinates Var[Picture X co-ordinate] and Var[Picture Y co-rdinate] or something so we can fully customize where the letters will be displayed. also when it moves onto the next letter I made it add 10 to the Var[Picture X co-ordinate] so that all we really need to do is change those variables to whatever we want and it will display the leters by itself. (As you can tell I was always a fan of the computer doing most of the work, All I have to use is my brain)
I can't really do any work for a while because I just woke up and my gf is comin round soon.. But I will get some done later, It is the holidayz so I can stay up all night working on this.
Daegon, If you don't want to do charasets that is fine, I have charaset experience.. And I spose I could do it if nobody else will.
Yukapuka, you can be a beta tester if you want. :)

Oh and DarkMage, If it's not worth doing the hard work then it's not worth playing. That is why i work so intensly on this, I hope a few people learn some new things while I'm at it. Remember, I will still be finishing up pretty soon and making you add all the pokemon ok? It's the least you can do after I have built the engine. :)

I'm uploading the file with just the common events.
If this one is corrupted again, try unzipping this and the other file
with Alzip.
-EDIT-
I would also like to help with the common events, (except the battle system)
and map design.

I'm sorry daegon it just keeps saying not a valid zip archive. It's probly just me. I would really like those f/r sprites!!! They would be good to add in the game. Anyway I have completed an attack in the battle system (animation and all) now I'm wondering what to do for the enemy turn.. I will soon complete this basic system, and I would please ask Dark to add in pokemon and attacks. It's not hard, I will do a little tutorial to show how to do this.
Daegon, could you please find a way to send me those F/R sprites? I would really like them for our game.. actually maybe you should send them to DarkMage.. I don't know.. Anyway thanks for being on the team

Rm2k/Rm2k3 battle system problems
In battle in Rm2k/Rm2k3, isn't their any way to use triggers from abilities? For instance, suppose I have the following scenario in a Pokemon-style game:
Pikachu uses Thunderbolt. I want it to show a BATTLE ANIMATION of Pikachu running forward, pausing, shouting "PIKA!!!!!!!!!!", thunderbolting the enemy, then running back.
But here's the problem: I can't find a single trigger that works with "when hero uses CERTAIN skill". In rm2k3, you can say "when hero uses skill", but you can't specify WHAT skill it should work on.
I realize that I could simply use Trigger skills and so on, but that would basically require the same amount of work as using a CBS, which I don't want to do.
So is there anyway of doing this short of using trigger-skills and a CBS?

EDIT:You can assign a switch to a skill, check in the database. Then just put an IF string. That should solve your problem.

I'm gone for a second and forty more posts come up! Wow!
Anyway, I'm glad you got that Enter Hero Name thing running. That'll make it all easier in the long run. You were right. My bad
I also feel pretty bad that you're working so hard creating this engine, but I assure you I'll find somethings to change! ;) You should send it to me whenever you can- I'd like to help too. As long as you don't erase all your switch/var/event names and stuff, I'll figure it out. I'm a fast learner. Then we can switch off, and it'll go faster that way. And of course we can get someone else to work on it too! If you send it to me, relax with your gf all you want (define "relax" ;)). I feel guilty about not doing anything until this point. And besides, if I have any questions I can always ask you here! No, I don't need a tutorial or anything. Thanks anyway.
Walker> Go to database (F8) and click the tab "Skill." Make a new skill, and call it what you want. This is the important part: Under "Type" select "Switch." Have a description, choose the MP consumption, sound effect that you want, and on "Turn ON Switch," make a new switch called, say "Thunderbolt." If it's a CBS, check Field for Activation Allowed, but if you are using the DBS, check "Battle." (If you don't know what those abreviations stand for, they're Custom Battle System and Default Battle System) So in a common event, have:
<>Branch if Switch[Thunderbolt] is ON
<>Message: Pika!
<>Move Event: Pokemon, Right, Right, Right, Right
<>Wait 0.5 sec
<>Show Battle Animation: Thunder,Enemy(Wait)
<>Move Event: Pokemon, Left, Left, Left, Left
<>Switch Operations:[Thunder] OFF.
:End Fork
<>
So when you select the attack, just switch on "Thunderbolt!" Questions?

Ahhhhhh!!!! you turned off the wrong switch!!! nnoooooo endless loop!!!!!
lol that has happened to me so many times.
Anyway.. Ok, I will send you the game through hotmail ok? just need to fix few more things first.. (forgot to put a few IF switches in.. hang on since we are using variables in practically everything in the game, do u think it would be easier to say
IF Var[Using which pokemon] Set=1 then Show Pic Latios? Instead of all those switches we can use ONE variable.. sounds like a plan to me)
Don't feel bad about helping in the battle system, I'm about to make you do a lot of work. Just thought I should use my battle engine while it was still in my head:D.
Ok I won't write the tutorial unless you don't understand something.. but i'm warning you, It's a bit confusing! I left little notes to help people understand what was goin on, Mainly me lol. I have used a lot of pictures btw lol, got very frustrated when i had to change em all around to show a custom battle animation! Oh and I still need to copy an event and change about (what's 26x6?) picture numbers. Just so I can show the pokemon's name twice, lol i will need to do it again when I show the enemy's name.. WISH PICTURE NUMBERS WORKED WITH VARIABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good! Through your hotmail, right? 26x6 sounds like a resolution. I don't know what it's for though. It would be tiny.

No, it wouldn't! My point is, if I did THAT then I might as well make a custom battle system, which I do NOT want to do. I realize full well that you can assign a switch to an ability, BUT if you do that then you have to program ALL THE ABILITIES EFFECTS (sorry bout the caps, too lazy to use Italics). I want to know if there's a way to have a STANDARD ability (with built-in effects) turn on a switch. Like "When hero uses Slash, then do this certain thing".
Anyone here have an answer?
