Sorry for the n00b question, but I have read through the notes and 100+pages in this thread but I'm wondering what script controls the sprite graphic and the battle back graphic. I am trying to implement a system where later on the player will gain new outfits. Normally this would be done through a simple "Change Actor Graphic" command but as I understand that has been taken out of use in Pokemon Essentials. Thanks

Changing the OW of your character has to be done with pbChangePlayer, which by default only has 4 options (which shouldn't be too hard to expand, just find the method and modify it). To change the trainer back, look in PokeBattle_ActualScene line 1464 (that's the start). There are three lines soon after that have trback%03d in them. You could do a simple if statement somewhere in there to check if a particular switch is, and if it is use a specified graphic, and use the default graphic in the else statement.

@Tranitar: It looks like you named the trainer type KELLAN, rather than DarkLeader. To resize the graphic, you could use a paint program and just resize it (but it may not look good since it wouldn't be in the 2x2 pixel format anymore). Compare it to the other trainer graphics you have side by side and see if it's really off or not. Also, I'm guessing it was from DPP, which is smaller than RSE.

I don't have your txt file, so I can't see for sure, but remember that there are two places that have to have the names defined for each trainer. First is the trainer type (like DarkLeader and Team Rocket), second is the individual name (KELLAN and GRUNT). If you name the trainer type GRUNT, and name the trainer GRUNT as well, you'll get GRUNT GRUNT.

@ashthebest10:You could try the notes, I didn't see it in the wiki yet though, but you should bookmark both to save yourself the trouble in the future.

The first word (e.g. the "Camper" of "Camper Johnny") is the name of the trainer class. This name is shared between all trainers that have that trainer class (e.g. all campers).

The second word ("Johnny") is the name of the individual trainer.

What you want to do is make a trainer class called "Team Rocket", and then make a bunch of individual trainers called "Grunt". Remember to number them, because they all have the same name and trainer class.

The same goes for your Kellan. "Kellan" is the individual trainer's name, and "Dark Leader" is the trainer class's name. Note that, if you have multiple different Dark Leaders in your game, the internal name of that trainer class should be called something like "DARLEADER_Kellan". All of those "Dark Leader" trainer classes can have the same displayed name, though; only their internal names need to be different.

Okay, so I finally got a movie (avi format) to work in my game. The problem is when it ends or a player forces it to end, I get this error, any idea on what I did wrong? And just if it matters, I didn't edit the Scene_Map script at all. Just Main.

Script 'Scene_Map' line 26: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'maps' for nil:NilClass

I modified the Intro Script so when it put you on a map, it would put the character on the map i designed. I did nothing more than change the last transfer player from the default map to my map. But after the intro completes, it puts the OW on my map but it wont let him move?

Anybody know where a good ring menu script is?

Why a script? I did it with a single common event, it's fairly simple (although I re-instituted button input processing to do it). I don't think anyone has gone through the extra trouble of making it into a script when eventing is so much easier.

Hm... when erasing tiles you should always you the very first blank white tile next to your autotiles. If you use any others it'll be the same as a new, transparent tile that's passable. The best thing to do is to "wipe" the map with the first blank tile except in places there's another tile. (ex: in layer 3, you would want to use the first transparent tile on everything other than tiles already in the layer three layer and so on)

If that doesn't work, trace your events in nearby locations and make sure "always on top" or "through" isn't on.
If neither of those work then I'm not sure.

Oh my god, it worked! Thank you so much! I've always used a tile next to the others because I thought the one at the top left would be filled up with an auto tile. Thanks again and this should really be added to the notes.

Could you explain how you did that? I know I need to have the proper Icons but I still don't understand how to do it. Thanks for the help, I would have kept searching forever for a script but your right, it would be way to much trouble.

Try reading the error first. It's not difficult.
