is there a way to have it so there are several possible title screen which are shown randomly
i.e. the game starts up and the title screen has, say, either a charmander, a charmeleon or a charizard on it

Click to expand...

yes through scripting and or event processing (what ever way you decide to have it)

How do I go about assigning a battle background to a terrain tag? and how do I assign a new region map to a new region like when Your in kanto the kanto map is used but when your in johto the johto map is used?

I also need to know how to start a new trainer card for a new region after completing another one. like If you finish canto you go to the OI's and the new trainer card will show the Orange island badges.

I cannot find how to make trainer specific battle backgrounds.


I had found it but now i get this:

How do I make new terrain tags and assign Battle Backgrounds to them?

You'd have to go into the script editor for that(I think I saw it there) and even then I don't remember where it was. The Battle BG are already set in the scripts for the different tile types.

Now for my own question. I'm pretty sure this was asked a LONG, long time ago and wasn't answered(Maybe it was???) Is it possible to set up more than just four characters in the game? I looked through the scripts and notes and didn't find anything that said otherwise. I haven't tried it yet, but if it is possible, can you add more than four playable characters in the starter kit?

Now I get

The "XXX" is a placeholder and stands for anything. For example, if you use "Water" for "XXX", then the file names would be "battlebgWater", "playerBaseWater", etc.

how do you make it so that there is no black gap between each picture in the intro screen?

Hi!

Hey, I got a question.
How can I use the Dp Battlebacks?

ive been wroking on getting a few scripts i found to work with the starter kit. the only problem ive been having is the Window_base script/scriptlet. I was wondering for those who script witht he starter kit if you new what replaced this script/scriptlet.

crzyone9584:

All windows in Pokemon Essentials are derived from SpriteWindow_Base and SpriteWindow_Selectable instead. In some cases, these two classes are not compatible with the Window_Base classes included in RPG Maker XP.

so its pretty much change and pray that it works. ok. so window base is sprite window_base and then window selectable is Spritewindow_selectable.

so far so good. thanks poccil for the help. i just need to resize most of the images that im using so they fit in the window of the game.

Me again :P

How do I change where the Press Start goes?

You can do it by making the image bigger.

There's probably a better way in coding though.

in the scene_intro i beleive look for @start = sprite new then a line or two down will be numbers the first one is the x axis. change that to what ever you want. Then to move it left or right open the image and move it left or right. gimp will work just fine.

Hey I've been getting this error when walking near a map I've made, Please help?

Kay3o -Thanks

Pokehero: In the Scene_Intro script, find @start.x= and @start.y= and modify them. X moves it left or right, and y moves it up or down. Increase the numbers to move it down or right, and decrease for up and left.
Kay3o: I'm pretty sure that's been fixed. Try updating to the newest version.

the x doesn't work. you need to edit the picture for the left and right. (yes i have the newest version)

Just a general question:

Do you guys plan on doing the intro screen for pokemon with animated title screen...or keeping the one in place at the moment?
