Aqua Mudkip: "How can you edit the PERSPECTIVE option in Pokemon Essentials? Cause there's already a new Mode07 script. (It has camera rotation, autotile support and priority support)

Apparently, i need to explain;
i want to set a rival, like in the pokemon games, simple, no?

1) To "set" a rival, you can give them a player-supplied name. Check the Notes. Then, just create the Trainer. I don't know why that's confusing?
2) Why aren't you able to do this? You just use the tiles and do it. I don't get what your issue is?

I edited both the commandbox.png and fightbox.png into the picture below:

However, the battle screen still appears to be like this:

What did I do wrong?

Go to the script PokeBattle_ActualScene and go to line 1053

Code:

USECOMMANDBOX=false # If true, expects a file named Graphics/Pictures/commandbox.png
USEFIGHTBOX=false # If true, expects a file named Graphics/Pictures/fightbox.png

Change the two "false" to true and the files should be named "commandbox" and "fightbox" as said in the notes next to the code.
It's really straight forward

Hw may I add more frames to the title screen? Like have a more animated title screen than just Pic_1 and Pic_2?

In the script 'Main', find line 25:
return Scene_Intro.new(['Pic_1'], 'Pic_2')

And add the filenames of your intro frames like this:

return Scene_Intro.new(['Pic_1','Pic_3','Pic_4'], 'Pic_2')

I haven't tried it out yet but I think it should work.

It works fine with me :S can you post the line you use? (btw, the names don't have too be called Pic_x. Also, the pic you're using must be placed in Graphics/Titles)

I know I just prefer to name them that but here is what I had.

return Scene_Intro.new(['Pic_1'], 'Pic_2', 'Pic_3', 'Pic_4',)

1) Thank you so much XD
2) I tried 'pbBridgeUp' AND 'pbBridgeFoward' and neither worked, plus, you need 2 blank event to set the limits of the bridge, but if I place them 3 tiles away from each other; massive glitches occur.

As far as I know, there are no specific scripts to create bridges. There don't really need to be any. ;D All you do is place bridge tiles over the water and voila.

Forever Forbidden · Feb 4, 2009

Ah, but its not over water and thats the problem. If i post a screenie, would it help?

Ah ok, Well change your line to this:
return Scene_Intro.new(['Pic_1','Pic_2','Pic_3'], 'Pic_4',)

I guess it should work like this...

Well it still didnt work but I'll figure it out. I think we may have to different versions because your line 25 is line 18 in mine.

I have a question.
How can I set a regional dex? I checked the notes and I really couldn't find anything that could help me. I want to set only about 200 pokemon in my Regional Dex before the national and I'm not 100% sure how to do it. This is what I tried in my pokemon.txt folder.

[152]
Name=CHIKORITA
InternalName=CHIKORITA
Kind=LEAF
RegionalNumbers=1
Pokedex=It waves its leaf around to keep foes at bay. However, a sweet fragrance also wafts from the leaf, creating a friendly atmosphere that becalms the battlers.
Type1=GRASS
BaseStats=45,49,65,45,49,65
Rareness=45
BaseEXP=64
Happiness=70
GrowthRate=Fluctuating
StepsToHatch=5120
Color=Green
Habitat=Grassland
EffortPoints=0,0,0,0,0,1
Abilities=OVERGROW
WildItemCommon=LUMBERRY
WildItemRare=LUMBERRY
Compatibility=1,7
Height=0.9
Weight=6.4
GenderRate=FemaleOneEighth
Moves=1,TACKLE,1,GROWL,8,RAZORLEAF,12,REFLECT,15,POISONPOWDER,22,SYNTHESIS,29,BODYSLAM,36,LIGHTSCREEN,43,SAFEGUARD,50,SOLARBEAM

Evolutions=BAYLEEF,Level,16
BattlerPlayerY=10
BattlerEnemyY=13
BattlerAltitude=0

But when I added the pokedex it still came up as 151. Any help?

This is actually something I've wondered too. I hope the answer isn't glaringly obvious or I'll feel really dumb. XD

What you need to do is on the first layer, use the water tiles. Then, use the next layer to place the bridge tiles over the water. In RPG Maker XP your map has three layers. The first layer is all solid. The next two are used for tiles with transparency etc.

Forever Forbidden · Feb 5, 2009

I know how it works, but i want it to be over walkable ground, not water, but thanks for the help.

As far as the regional Pokédex goes, it seems as if you have to define the maps as belonging to a region. This is done through the metadata.txt and townmap.txt files in the pbs folder. I haven't looked thoroughly into it, but once you've defined the regions in those two sections and put the entries into the pokemon.txt file then they should show up in both dexes.

If you have pokemon in more than one regional dex then you have to separate the numbers defined in the RegionalNumbers entry with commas. If it doesn't appear in a specific dex then put a 0. As far as I'm aware that should do it!

Can someone please help me with this problem? I'm trying to display the pokeball which the current pokemon was caught by in battle (eg. master ball), next to the hp bar.. I took the code right out of the pokedex's 2nd page.. I modified the PokemonDataBox class of Pokemon_ActualScene:

if (@battler.index&1)==0 # if player's Pokemon
@spritebaseX=16
@pokeball=sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/ball%02d_0.png",(@battler.pokemon.ballused))
else
@spritebaseX=0
@pokeball=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/pokeball.png")
end

It says that the ballused method is undefined and I have no idea why.. it is displayed with this:

pbCopyBitmap(self.bitmap,@pokeball,@spritebaseX+5,@spritebaseY+25) if $Trainer.owned[battler.species]

I would really appreciate any help offered

Could you post the actual error message? I'm not sure what the problem here is; the whole message might help clarify it.
