ehh mac unarchiver im going to get another one for mac
 
Code: 
def pbCallTitle
  if $DEBUG
    return Scene_DebugIntro.new
  else
    # First parameter is an array of images in the Titles
    # directory without a file extension, to show before the
    # actual title screen.  Second parameter is the actual
    # title screen filename, also in Titles with no extension.
    return Scene_Movie.new("INTRO")
  end
end

Replace the PbCallTitle section in Main with that.
But remember to edit the end of Scene_Movie so that it goes to PokemonLoad afterwards.
 
How to add custom pokemon

How do you add your own fakemon to a game? When I did, it showed the pokemon, but there were over like, 10 lines between them. As if there were other pokemon, when I only added one......I hope I'm explaining this properly.
 
Does anyone have the day/night tint colors that look close to the ones in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl? If not, that's okay; I just wanted to know if anyone else had done it before I go through a ton of trial and error editing that part of the script myself.
 
What about the Icons??

Try adding a Pokemon with an id # of 494. If you start with that number, it will be right after Arceus.

Ah, sorry, Though, what should I do about it's icon?? The egg just comes up, also, what if I wanna add more then one??
It goes up to icon 539, which is the evolvtion of a shellos. PLEASE HELP!

Think about how many Fakemon you want in your game. I would just give yourself 100 slots just for simplicity. After you decide, change the number in the filename of all the icons after Arceus (except for items only the Pokemon) by however many Fakemon you want. After that, I forgot where you tell the game what filename the egg is...I don't think it matters, just add the icons based on what the ID # of the Fakemon as normal and it should be okay. Perhaps someone else can explain it better, I forgot how I made mine work.
 
Hi,

I got a problem with the sprites. My Pokémon Backsprites go higher and higher with every choice I make in battle (e.g. Attack). And often the Foe sprites appear way too high on their field.
I also looked at the usage notes, but can't find anything helpful.
I uploaded a screen to show what I mean...

It would be very nice if someone could describe in detail what I need to change where to solve that problem... so that I can follow.
(I'm sorry for my English, hope you could understand me)

Where i can edit maps types like with bug contest or safari zone i want to create my map type.
 
Ok, i have to questions... well more like requests...

1.During long battles the ally's sprite bounces and starts moving away from the bottom of the screen towards the top of the screen. I saw a fix for this awhile ago I cant find it has anyone seen it or does anyone have it and can they share?

2. Does anyone have D/P or HG/SS Trainer sprites already resized and ready to use in RMXP? if you do would u mind providing a link to download them? I can make the trainer sprites but I'd rather not waste my time doing so if its already been done...

EDIT: VI-Black posted the same problem as me so to confirm see his screenie for my first question.

Where i can edit maps types like with bug contest or safari zone i want to create my map type.

In the METADATA use the editor to edit the maps MATADATA

You can set the heights of the foe Pokémon sprites in pokemon.txt (the BattlerEnemyY and BattlerAltitude lines). This is mentioned in the notes.

As for the back sprite rising up and up during battle, I had a similar problem (they sunk instead of rose). I fixed my problem by going into PokeBattle_ActualScene and looking for the line "if ((@frame/9).floor&1)==1 && @selected==1". You'll find something like this:

Code: 
 def update
  @frame+=1
  @updating=true
  if ((@frame/9).floor&1)==1 && @selected==1 # When choosing commands for this Pokémon
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY+2
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
  elsif @selected==2 # When targeted or damaged
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY
   self.visible=(@frame%10<7)
  elsif 
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
  end
  @updating=false
 end
This is the part of the code that tells the back sprite to bob up and down. My problem was that if I ordered an attack when the back sprite was currently "down", that "down" position became the new "up" position for the next round.

I solved this by adding in another "if" clause, like so:

Code: 
 def update
  @frame+=1
  @updating=true
  if ((@frame/9).floor&1)==1 && @selected==1 # When choosing commands for this Pokémon
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=[COLOR=SeaGreen]198[/COLOR]
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
  [COLOR=Red]elsif @selected==1
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=196
   self.visible=@spriteVisible[/COLOR]
  elsif @selected==2 # When targeted or damaged
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY
   self.visible=(@frame%10<7)
  elsif 
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
  end
  @updating=false
 end
The red bit is the stuff I added. I also changed the value in green. This now makes the back sprite's y position alternate between two fixed values, rather than "@spriteY" and "@spriteY+2" (which could be altered during battle).

I don't know whether the solution to your problem would look anything like this, but it's worth having a look. I know someone else had your same problem a while back, but I can't find their post (I know I responded to it, with the info I've just given). I think it worked for them.

Also note that my code is over a year old, and it may have changed since. Perhaps it's a change to this code that makes the back sprite now rise instead of sink - I don't know.

As always, it's best that you try to understand what's going on, rather than blindly copy what I've done.
 
@ Maruno
Oh you're right about the foe positions. I missed that. I fixed the Delcatty position. Thank you!

But my second problem just changed *ggg*
Piplup is now blinking XD

Thats the script code part... but I'm afraid its different to yours. I'm at the very beginning in understanding Ruby, thatsway I have my problems in really understanding this now ^^'

Spoiler:


Maybe you can tell me how to fix it?
 
It certainly looks like an attempt was made to fix it.

It's not blinking; the back sprite is simply shifting between two positions (as it should), but one of those positions is off the bottom of the screen.

In the code you added, I see the number 196. Don't use that - that's my number, and it certainly won't work correctly for you (I'm using a different screen resolution). Try using 50 and work from there. Alternatively, replace that line with "self.y=@spriteY", which may or may not work (I'd need to see the rest of PokeBattle_ActualScene to decide if it would).

This particular bug took me ages to figure out, and I'm usually quite good at figuring things out. But at least I've said where the problem lies, which is 80% of the problem, and another 19% is the solution which I've also posted (the remaining 1% is using the right number, which is up to you).

Here post this fix

Code: 
[COLOR=blue]if ((@frame/9).floor&1)==1 && @selected==1 # When choosing commands for this Pokémon[/COLOR]
   self.x=@spriteX
   [COLOR=red]self.y=118[/COLOR]
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
   elsif @selected==1
   self.x=@spriteX
   [COLOR=red]self.y=120[/COLOR]
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
  elsif @selected==2 # When targeted or damaged
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY
   self.visible=(@frame%10<7)
  elsif 
   self.x=@spriteX
   self.y=@spriteY
   self.visible=@spriteVisible
 [COLOR=blue] end[/COLOR]

delete everything in your script between the blue parts including the blue parts if you want but you dont have to.

Paste the code above!

after you do change the red parts to the values you need those are my values. If you dont know your values playtest game as it is. If the pokemon is higher than you raise the values. If your pokemon is lower than its supposed to be you lower the value. With enough trial and error you should eventually find your values.

Thanks Maruno for that fix it works great.
