This is a thread for those who are unfamiliar about how to do some things
in RM2K/3 or know any good links you want to tell the other members
about. Anything else that doesn't need a full thread or debate should also belong here.

I thought it'd be useful having this thread since it's better than cluttering
this section up with threads.

ok, this is different from a pokemon gba hack, you say it "MAPS" and "TELEPORTS"
The way to create a new map, is to right click on an existing map (in the little side bar thing) and select "create new map" then if you want to make a new telelport go into event layer editing mode and right click on the map (not in the side bar) and select "teleport position" or something.. well hope i was of some help

Pokemon Indigo League is a re-creation of the original Pokemon TV series in game form

Thanks Satoshi!

And to teleport, just make an event, and for its commands (double click the <>) go to the second tab and find "teleport." Chose the map where you want to teleport to and select the exact coordinate by clicking. Make sure the event is set to "On Hero Touch" and "Below Hero" so when you step over it it'll teleport you.

You can have an event that removes you from your party and replaces him with the pokemon. Check out RM2Kemon (www.gamingw.net) and Pokemon Galaxy (same site) to see how to do this.

Menue? Check out my game. There's no current download link because I need to get my site back up, but someone else may be able to give it to you.

Pokemon Galaxy? Nooo Ash isnt a hero (well you look like Ash, but.. meh), you control Pikachu (using Ashs graphics to fool you) everytime you go to a shop, it changes the graphics to Pikachu so it looks like Pikachu in the shop window, etc.

My bad, but RM2kemon definately had David as a hero. You can see in the menue. Check that one out. PKMN galaxy is a good one anyway ;)
I've seen long ago RM2kemon, its pretty good, but i think it lacks the feel of the real pokemon games, and the chipsets, but interesting idea considering that the actual game was thrown together in around 2 weeks or so (it says so, and i remember reading it when i downloaded the game)

Yes, it didn't exactly reek quality. But the music was good. I'm using some in Lunar.
Exactly.


Oh and if you need music from the Pokemon games or other games, you should go to www.vgmusic.com they probaly have some.. if you need any that is

I posted this somewhere else for you... but oh well. I'll say it again:

Just make a picture for your text box (Show Picture command), make your textbox transparent (Message Style command) and only type in the bottom two lines (Show Message command). Work???

The default one. You can make the custom box (The image) semitransparant if you want. Here's the theory
Bottom>Image of Textbox
Middle>Default textbox graphic, set see-thru
Top>Text, appears over graphic because middle layer is transparant.

Im a real noob at this, and I was wondering how you make rooms and set up warps to enter them?, eg. going into the Pokemon Center, Poke mart, etc
Well, I'm not sure if you need this or not, but I thought "what the heck... why not?"

To "recycle" a map used all too much (coughpokmoncentercough), you can use an event called "Memorize Position" (or "Memory Place" in some versions).

I won't get technical, but this makes it so you can go to the Pokmon Center in Viridian City, Pewter City, Cerulean City, etc. without making multiple Pokmon Centers.
All you have to do is follow these steps for the events specified:

=====Door Leading INTO Pokmon Center=====
<>Memorize Location: [a], [b], [c]
<>Teleport: ????:Pokmon Center(xx,yy)Retain Facing* (RM2K3 Only)
<>
Now let me explain. In the command event, a, b, and c are variables.
It doesn't matter which ones you use, but I usually use them all in a row.
They all have to be different ones. Let's say you use 0001, 0002, and 0003.
The 1st one is "MapID", the 2nd one is "Xpos", and the 3rd is "Ypos".
These save what map you were on, where you were from west to east, and where you were from north to south.
(this command is the 6th command down on the left of page 2)
The second command is the teleportation to the Pokmon Center itself. That's it.

=====Exit of Pokmon Center=====
<>Recall to Position: V[a] (V[b],V[c])
-optional, but recommended-<>Move Event: Hero,Move Down
<>

What this does is return you to the saved position.
Make sure that the variables for this event are the same as the ones from before.
This should take you out of the Pokmon Center, and return you to where you were before entering (and if you did the optional part, it will also make you step away from the door).

The "Move Event" command is about 4th from the bottom of the right of page 2 if I recall...

Have fun with that! lol

Peace out!

To make someone go into a building, draw the building map, then use the teleport command in Event Editing Mode. If you didn't understand that, don't worry- you will ;) I'm writing a tutorial myself for all the people in the world that want to make their very own pokemon game!
