What happened when that error poped-up?

I had just made a trainer event

 

[LZ Ravanger]

Put a name for rival like:

RIVAL
Blue
#88,0
1
BULBASAUR,5,10,,TACKLE,GROWL,,,false,false

the rival's name is #88. what does the #88 you put mean?

 

[flamemaster]

Clearly the background image isn't correct. Instead of calling the battleback with, 001 for example, call it as 1.

nope, doesnt work, any other ideas?

Ugh, such a long time between that answer and this new post.

The picture you're referring to (I managed to find the post), isn't being shown. Perhaps you can upload it to another site so we can see it now?

 

[LZ Ravanger]

I finally got the trainer working but for some reason the names don't appear right.

when the battle starts it says rival 1, 2, or 3 wants to battle.

I need a little help with this error, it happens after I capture a Pokemon in Safari Zone, when the game is trying to transfer the Pokemon the Box.

Exception: NoMethodError
Message: undefined method `pbCurrentBox' for nil:NilClass
PokeBattle_Battle:76:in `pbStorePokemon'
PokeBattle_Battle:181:in `pbThrowPokeBall'
PokeBattle_SafariZone:119:in `pbStartBattle'
PokemonSafari:107:in `pbSafariBattle'
PokemonSafari:106:in `pbSceneStandby'
PokemonSafari:108:in `pbSafariBattle'
PokemonSafari:105:in `pbBattleAnimation'
PokemonSafari:105:in `pbSafariBattle'
PokemonSafari:96
PokemonSafari:90:in `call'

Any help is appreciated.

Hi fellow essentials users, it has been a while since my last post here.

If anyone here has been trying to add pokemon dream world abilities to a project I posted the beginning of a tutorial of how to do it on the Pokemon Essentials Wiki. It's marked incomplete, but it might still help you. After I am done finishing dream world abilities I might post a tutorial on how to get castform to change sprites in battle or maybe just a general tutorial of how to change a pokemon's sprite in battle (I've had it figured out for years now)

Hello pokecommunity,

while i was trying to make the current Position of the roaming Pokemon visible in the Pokedex, after you seem them first (like the cats in Pokemon G/S/C) i noticed, that the system doesn't work right.

After starting a "testplay" the switches of the roaming Pokemon get turned on. But if I'm checking the current positon with:
p($PokemonGlobal.roamPosition)
it only shows 1-3 different Positions.
e.g. it says, Tropius is on Map 46. After changing the Map it says it is on 44. After changing Map again it says that Tropius is on Map 42. Then it is always on Map 42. And if i'm encouter a Pokemon on Map 42, it isn't Tropius. How could that be?

This is the configuration of the RoamingAreas and Species:

 RoamingAreas={
   42 => [43, 44],
   43 => [42, 44],
   44 => [42, 43]
 }
 RoamingSpecies={
 :TROPIUS => [15,100,{
         42 => [43, 44],
         43 => [42, 44],
         44 => [42, 45],
         45 => [44, 46],
         46 => [44, 45]
         }],
 :CHARMANDER => [15,101,{
         42 => [43, 44],
         43 => [42, 44],
         44 => [42, 43]
         }]
 }
end

Edit:
I think the postion of the Pokemon stops changing as soon as it reaches the same map the player is on. But i wonder why the pokemon doesn't appear...

Ah, yes, I've actually answered this question lately

Well, I use Essentials DS and this problem happened to me (I'm assuming you mean for battles, since thats what happened to me. If not, ignore this and clarify what you mean). I haven't looked in depth at the new versions of Essentials, but I'd assume its similar if not the same.

From my experience, this is because the editor, when setting the background number, does it incorrectly. When you look at the PBS file for metadata and the area for that map, the battleback has the number you put and some sort of rectangle or random symbol next to it. Simply delete the rectangle and it fixes it.

------------------------------------------------------------

I finally got the trainer working but for some reason the names don't appear right.

when the battle starts it says rival 1, 2, or 3 wants to battle.

In the line for the name it should be like this...

TrainerType
Name,ID#
# of Pokemon in lineup
... Pokemon

So, like

RIVAL
Blue,3
2
PIDGEY... (and the rest of this line)
SQUIRTLE... (and the rest of this line)

[Linkey]

Just change the autotile of the outside Tileset.

 

[Doromyc]

Can be made this starter kit in French for those of the forum.
Thank you !

 

[Serilei]

Looks very interesting none-the-less, I am sure this works out alot better than Advance Map no doubts

 

[carmaniac]

Can somebody tell me how to set border blocks when in outside places?

You just put tree's on the boarder of the maps that are at least 7 tiles in width and height. :P

It has something to do with the weather, I know. Does anyone know how to turn weather effects off? I never wanted them.

 

[FL]

the rival's name is #88. what does the #88 you put mean?

You can't put the symbol "#" in rival's name.

Very good not only for put these abilities, but for create any new PBS style file!

Search at least a little before post, this error is the most common one https://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Error_messages .
To disable Night and Day System in line 314 of PokemonUtilities says "ENABLESHADING = true". Make it false instead.

My turn:

1-

I want to do a old style item PC without Mailbox. But if I call pbPCItemStorage without a Kernel.pbMessage after, the games freeze! Why? There a fix without I need to use Kernel.pbMessage?
I need to put:

command=1
    loop do
      (command==1 || command==-1) ? pbPCItemStorage : break
      command=Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Exit?"),[_INTL("YES"),_INTL("NO")],-1)
    end

2-

Has anyone manage to get the bridges working? I can pass for up, but when I try to pass under bridge my characters end surf and got freezie under bridge!

3-How everyone encrypted the Demos in a way that the PBS got compiled too? Any tips will be appreciated.

4-I didn't know if this is a error or not, but if you create a secret map area and put pokémon encounters in it you can see that area via "Area" pokédex command. Someone had a fix for it?

5-Anyone had any anti-lag tips for maps like don't make them huge or put many events? I had lag trouble.

 

[Himalama]

I've got a few questions.
Does anyone know how to enlarge the game screen? And how do you replace the standard overworld sprites with bigger ones?
I'd also like to know how to connect maps...

(I'm using RMXP and Poccil's starter kit)

If you mean to have a larger resolution, go to the script 'SpriteResizer' and the replace

  @@width=480
  @@height=320

with the resolution you want for your game.

What do you mean by 'bigger' charsets?

And to connect maps, go to the 'Editor' in your game folder, go to 'Visual Editor', and you can connect the maps from there.
