Hey, I have a problem, I am making maps on the starter kit, and one of the maps I created has the Rain effect active without my making it happen like though an event, how do I get rid of this effect, at least on this map?

if you erased some or all of the starter kit maps, it's probably data left over from those maps. to fix this, go to the metadata.txt in the PBS folder and erase all the map data below the entry [000].

Hey, thanks, thanks alot.

you could google a userbar generator, im pretty sure that there's a website for one. the better userbars are usually done in photoshop or some other graphics program.

imo, do it in a graphics program. the last time i made a userbar with a generator, it came out kinda dull.

you need to make the background transparent and I am fairly sure save it as a PNG file. to get the transparency effect to occur.

Why does my Female Trainer Back end up invisible in battle.

I have finished making a command line program for generating RPGXP compatible animations from sprites. It is to be run from the command line. See this address:

Can u explain how it works? I've created a xml file in wich I put the names of two images of the same pokemon but in two different positions and I used the command prompt to use animmaker. But it has juste created two empty images animation.png and animation2.png....

i have some somewhat advanced questions about the scripts.

as somebody mentioned before, they wanted to add more player metadata than what was available. i've looked through the scripts and seen meta data player used in a few other scripts. if one were to add more meta data players, would it still work with the other scripts? and how would one go about putting more players in? below is the metadata script from PokemonMap lines 415 to 437.

MetadataHome=1
MetadataPlayerA=2
MetadataPlayerB=3
MetadataPlayerC=4
MetadataPlayerD=5
MetadataStorageCreator=6
MetadataWildBattleBGM=7
MetadataTrainerBattleBGM=8
MetadataWildVictoryME=9
MetadataTrainerVictoryME=10
MetadataTextSkin=11

MetadataOutdoor=1
MetadataEscapePoint=2
MetadataShowArea=3
MetadataBicycle=4
MetadataBicycleAlways=5
MetadataHealingSpot=6
MetadataWeather=7
MetadataMapPosition=8
MetadataDiveMap=9
MetadataDarkMap=10
MetadataSafariMap=11

Click to expand...

would for example, MetadataPlayerE go under =12? and so forth for other players?

also, how would one input another pocket or two on the bag?

class PokemonBag
attr_reader :registeredItem
attr_accessor :lastpocket
attr_reader :pockets
MAXPERSLOT=99
MAXPOCKETSIZE=[0,256,-1,-1,-1,-1]
def initialize
@lastpocket=1
@pockets=[]
@pockets[0]=[]
@pockets[1]=[]
@pockets[2]=[]
@pockets[3]=[]
@pockets[4]=[]
@pockets[5]=[]
@choices=[0,0,0,0,0,0]
@registeredItem=0
end

Click to expand...

would i just add another -1 in maxpocketsize, another 0 to choices and @pockets[6]=[]to this? i believe i already grasp what else needs to be done for this.

i was also wondering where the piece of script is for the exclamation mark that appears above the trainer before battle. i moved the animation down on the list of animations and now it doesn't appear before trainer battles. i need to find this piece of script to change it accordly.

also, would there be a way to force a pokemon within the player's party to evolve? i've played around with scripts and conditional branches with no avail.

i was also wondering how pbDebugBattle is supposed to be called. i tried script and conditional branch and neither worked. getting this to work would help alot with the battle animations.

i was also curious as to when different pokemon forms will be implemented. this would be a big plus in the next release. :D


thanks for your answers in advance.

*EDIT*
i just noticed that the animation editor in the editor/debug menu doesn't save any animations. is anybody else having this problem?

*EDIT2*
ummm...i also need to know where the script for the grass & dust animation are, so i can change them accordly. >_<

For the exclamation animation, look at the line 13 in PokemonField, there is EXCLAMATION_ANIMATION_ID. That's what u are looking for.

For the players, I think it should work if u put MetadataPlayerE=12 and so on.

For the bag, it should e like u said, but pay attention because the last value is used in some of the functions below.
For example :

U muste replace the pocket>5 by a pocket>6

For the forced evolution, add

in PokemonField.
To use it, put the script :

where yourpokemonid is the id of the pokemon wich must evolve.

*EDIT2*
ummm...i also need to know where the script for the grass & dust animation are, so i can change them accordly. >_<

Click to expand...

Are u speaking about the animation? Because u can find it in the same place as the exclamation animation...

yea, i found the animations a few mins before this post. i feel kinda stupid considering it was at the top of the script. >.<

thanks for answering my questions. you've been a ton of help. :D thank you. thank you.

*EDIT*
i editted the PokemonBag script so it would have another pocket, but it didn't work. i didn't have any errors what so ever. but when i tried to go to that certain area of the bag, it would close without cause back to the map. i don't believe i missed anything unless the bag script has pieces in other scripts. any answers?

is there a way to make the weather randomly generated instead of having it preset in the meta txt file.

Also could some one explain in depth on how to make a reagion map. I know how to make one its the fact it doesnt work with the townmap generator.

also is it possible to edit one of the script so you can catch your opponets pokemon and vice versa.

For the weather, insert the script

in an event just on the border of your maps and put a contact trigger.
