Wow this is a useful thread, hopefully it won't get flooded with dumb questions that belong in the help and request thread though :@

EDIT: Oh it is the help and request thread :O

Is there a way to automatically save a screen in rmxp without print screening, pasting and saving?
Just to start off the thread.

I just started using RPG maker xp a day ago, and I was adding one of the old tilesets I made a year or two ago in their, but realized that its 16x16 pixels, not 32x32. So I was wondering if either A) If their is a specific way of seperating the tiles so they do work even if they are 16x16, or B) If thats not possible, a program that could resize the tiles without blurring the image to do so.

Thanks for any help. Also once I get 15 posts or whatever, I'll be more than willing to let anyone use them if they want, although they aren't exactly the greatest in the world, but they do have most of the outdoor basics.

That is what ms paint is for. Just select the tiles, and resize them by 200 percent.

Go learn the basics of RPG Maker XP, then. There are plenty of tutorials on the Internet.

Well...the simple line of code needed is just
Code: 
pbScreenCapture
But if you'd like to do any in depth adjustments to it, the code can be found in the script PokemonSystem around line 80. It should look something like this
Code: 
def pbScreenCapture
 capturefile=nil
 5000.times {|i|
  filename=sprintf("*/capture%03d.bmp",i)
  if !FileTest.exist?(filename)
   capturefile=filename
   break
  end
  i+=1
 }
 if capturefile
  takescreen=Win32API.new("rubyscreen.dll","TakeScreenshot","%w(p)","i")
  takescreen.call(capturefile)
  if FileTest.exist?(capturefile)
   Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/expfull.wav")
  end
 end
end
Also you can change the default input for taking a screenshot in PokemonSystem. Search for "module Input" and you should find something like this.
Code: 
module Input
 unless defined?(update_KGC_ScreenCapture)
  class << Input
    alias update_KGC_ScreenCapture update
  end
 end
 def self.update
    update_KGC_ScreenCapture
    if trigger?(Input::F8)
     pbScreenCapture
    end
    if trigger?(Input::F7)
     pbDebugF7
    end
 end
end
There make any changes you want.

Quick question:

How can I change a Pokemon's base stats when it is holding an item?

I'm trying to implement the Origin Form of Giratina, Sky Shaymin, etc. Looks good; in-battle sprites are working, and I'm working on icon sprites.

So, basically how can I make it so when Giratina holds a Griseous Orb, it's base stats will change?

Quick answer:

See the Wiki for some hints. I can't tell you specifically because I haven't looked it up yet. It requires some non-trivial scripting, though.

If you find out what's needed, why not add it to the Wiki?


EDIT: Oh, and this isn't the Essentials thread. This is the "General game making help" thread. If you want to ask anything related to Pokémon, ask it in the Essentials thread.
