To demonstrife: 1. I have absolutely no idea.
2. Go to www.tripod.com or www.freewebs.com .They will get you started.
3. Click on the person's name in one of their posts and click the "send a personal message" button.. Or go to the inbox and click "compose".
4. Grab chip and char sets out of someone's game. Or look around this topic and find the one Daegon Kimeron made. If you randomly browse this forum, you will find some randomly good(:D)psets and charsets.

Hope I helped! Oh, and for meoth456... I;ve been to the site, but forgot the address. ^.^''
Hey, I got a signature! Did anyone notice?
Here's a riddle for you:

RIDDLE 1:

What's greater than God, more evil than Satan, the rich need it, the poor have it, and if you eat it, you'll die?

RIDDLE 2:

If a man comes up to you and says, "I tell nothing but lies..." Is he lying? Or telling the truth? :P

UmbreonsShadow> Yeah, everyone can use that. I'm posting the second part here as well.
Demonstrife>
1. If that doesn't work, try going to Start>Run>Type in directory for RPG Maker>Paste file into Chipset folder. Also, make sure the dimensions and color scheme is right. You can find that in the Rm2K3 help file.
2. To create a website without paying or without experience, I recommend signing up with www.tripod.com or www.freewebs.com. The sites are free, easy to create and maintain, and really good. I use Tripod personally. It has more features.
3. Go to your control pannel (http://www.pokecommunity.com/usercp.php?) and click the "Send New Private Message" tab. If you want to view your inbox, I think there's a button for that too.
4. If you download my game (http://darkmage310.tripod.com) I have some included. You may want to check out that Meowth dude also.
MartynL> Here's part 2:
Crud, I lost that PM. I'll have to retype it later.
Until next time!

www.clickteam.com has a program called Install creator. It helps you make custom install processes. And to make the game run without RTP currently installed you must include all the game files, open the file RPG_RT.ini or something like that and add the following line of code:FullPackageFlag=1
And then insert the file Harmony.dll into your game folder. Done.

Can I have the following pokemon charactersets please: Treeko (and evolutions), Squirtle (and evolutions) and Cindiquil (and evolutions). Help would be great and you will be included in the credits for my game!!!!
Also, if you have them, Zigzagoon, Poochyena and wurmple characters would be great but not in as great demand.

THANKS!

DarkMage> Thanks!! XD
I was hoping to make a pokemon game called Pokemon Faerie ^.^
You help a Celebi and it takes you to different times where you can catch the different pokemon. (Idea from Pokemon 4ever ^^)
Though, I'm still making my chipsets (Morning, Daytime, Evening) so I don't have anything made in the game yet ^^;

More titlescreens, eh? I'm pretty backed up right now with titlescreens but when (if) I have time later on, I'd be happy to help.

For custom installs, you may want to use an RTP Dependency scanner. One of these comes packaged in an awesome little Rm2k utility package. It was made by Anomy and Rast or something like that. If you can't find it I may be able to post a link.

Try the Pokemon Resources thread, or try the resources on www.gamingw.net. They have a whole Pokemon section! Get to it here: http://gamingw.net/resource/5/?l=62
www.gaminggroundzero.com also has lots of pokemon charsets.

They are supposedly coming out with an RPG Maker XP that features the optional addition of coding.

Anyway, if you want to download now and not wait years and years, you can get the 2000 version which is good, or the upgraded 2003 which is better. Some translations are better than others, so you probably ended up with just a crappy translation. If you want 2000, get the one by Don Miguel. For 2003 make sure it's translated by RPG Advocate.

>DarkMage: That coding works great! Thanks ^.^
>MartynL: Do you mean to have the sprite run when you press a certain button? I don't know quite how to get it to work yet, but I'm playing around with some ideas. If it does work I can post the coding on here. ^^

Does anyone already know the code to make the sprite run?

Okay, I've taken care of #2(making a web page), #3 you guys he;ped me out there...#4 on the other hand, I dont quite understand... you see, I have downloaded your game, DarkMage but I don't know where you find the Start>Run>Type in directory for RPG Maker>Paste file to chipset folder thingy.
Also, every time I try to use any Pokemon Chipsets I find, nothing happens. I'm still stuck with DragonWarrior Chipsets and stuff. I've also gat more questions...
1)Can somebody explain that Start>Run>Type in directory for RPG Maker>Paste file to chipset thing, tell me where to find it?
2)How do I put my game on my website in case anybody wants to help me out, and so that when I get done, people can download it? Like you did DarkMage (though not exactly, just to where it is on there, and I can open it from there to work on it, download it, whatever people would want and need to do that I would allow, in other words, sensible stuff.
3)What do you mean dimensions and color scheme? I mean I understand dimensions (I think) but color scheme? What is color scheme?
4)Also I'd like to know, if I get this to where it can be worked on online, would anybody like to work on it with me? (Especially if you're skilled at RM2K or RM2K3) I would really appreciate the help, because when it comes to RM2K and RM2K3, well, lets just say I'm not exactly that great.
I thank all of you for your time, and speaking of time, WHAT TIME ARE YOU GUYS ON AT?! I ussually on from 8:30 to 9:30... what about you guys?

MartynL>That "perfect running tutorial" is what I used in my game, except I changed it to work with the shift key.

For ripping facesets, charsets, chipsets, etc, get a rom of Ruby, an emulator to play it on, and a screenshot program (www.freewarehome.com I think). Take screens and crop them. Remember to place a solid color in the background for the transparancy!

UmbreonsShadow> "The perfect running tutorial" @ www.gamingw.net should work. I used it in my game also. When you hold down the key you run, and when you release it you revert to normal walking. It's great!

Demonstrife> Here's another method for importing chipsets, but it takes longer if you have a lot.
  1. When you find a chipset on the web you like, right click it
  2. Select "Save Picture As..."
  3. Save it anywhere you want (ex: My Documents)
  4. Open RPG Maker 2000/2003
  5. Open your game
  6. Go to the drop down menue "Tools"
  7. Select "Resource Manager"
  8. In the left column, select the folder "chipset" (They're alphabetical)
  9. Hit the button that says "Import"
  10. Go to My Documents or where ever you saved it. Open it.
  11. Click the transparent color (usually pink)
  12. It's imported! Now go to the database, create a new chipset, and open the file!
When I say color scheme, I mean the color depth. There are several:
-32 Bit (True Color)
-16 bit
-8 bit
etc.
One of the above (16-bit I think) consists of a total variety of 256 colors, whereas 32 bit has a virtually limitless range. All rm2k files must be in 256 colors. To save something already 32-bit as 256, open it as a bitmap, go to file>save as, and from the drop down menue select 256 Color Bitmap. Click save, and it's now 256 colors. However, the results may not be good. To avoid this use a program (ex: Microsoft PictureIt) can avoid this. Here's the quote from the help file:
When dithering pictures in a True Color (16.7 million colors/24 bit) environment, the colors shown after dithering may differ depending on the system environment, graphics card, etc. Using software that can adjust palettes with 15-bit precision can mitigate this problem.
What time are we on? Depends on your timezone.

And no, that zip didn't work, Avatar.
