[Archive] Pokemon Essentials: Starter Kit for RPG Maker XP

[StevieJee]

Have you tried changing the resolution of the screen?

I tried everything. I tried changing the resolution, using a program to make the PC think it's got a bigger resolution than it has, nothing works. It's just weird that the same RPG Maker XP worked perfectly on my PC but doesn't work on my laptop. Obviously, it's a laptop problem.

Well, I use my RMXP in a laptop and it works perfectly fine, so it must be a problem with your laptop.

Hey, does anybody know how to play a movie? I know how to call the script and I see the script but where do i put in the name of the movie i need to play?

To call it (including the name of the movie) use $scene = Scene_Movie.new("YourMovie"). It will look for the movie with that name in the Movies folder (the folder should be in the main game directory with the .exe file). However, I don't know that the movie script has been corrected in the newest version or not. There was a problem with the videos closing. If you find that to be an issue with your version, look for if Input.trigger?(Input::B), and add movie.call("close FILE",0,0,0) right below it.

Does anyone know which lines you change for the position of the enemy's Pokémon in trainer and wild battles? I found the one for your own mon, but can't find this.

And I also haven't been able to figure out my previous problem yet. Sorry, if it was already answered, but I got confused...

Just reposting since I didn't get the answer.

You can just use the editor for vertical shifts.

You can just use the editor for vertical shifts.

But that shows it at the wrong resolution and graphics. Besides, I don't want to do that for hundreds of Pokémon.

Try reinstalling RMXP? Your screenshot shows the window's size isn't limited by your screen resolution, and that's the only other thing I can think of. Must be a very rare problem. Reinstalling something that's glitchy usually works (if it normally works properly, of course).

Hello, I have some questions about some bugs that I encoundered. First of all I am using a modified version of PokemonSummary of DS kit (modified by me) and I am getting some errors. The first error is that when I press the down button from the arrow keys I am getting this error

Spoiler:

Exception: NoMethodError

Message: undefined method `egg?' for nil:NilClass

PokemonSummary:296:in `drawPageOne'

PokemonSummary:1437:in `pbScene'

Also I have some questions which I wrote on the picture I uploaded with my PokemonSummary script

 

[Atomic Reactor]

Ok, so... I have an issue...
My Pokedex works all fine and dandy when i acces it from the menu.
But when i catch a new pokemon, and it displays the new dex info, everything is shifted to the right ... a lot. It's in the right spot, on the y axis. But on the x axis it's all shifted.

Any idea what i can do to fix this? Why it's doing it, or what part of the scripts i should be looking at? I have no idea :/

That's what I ended up having to do, as the editor isn't coded to accept 160x160 pokemon, only 128x128.

My game was working fine earlier today. I messed with the Pokedex a little (changed a few Pokemons' names and moves), but other than that, I haven't touched a thing. What did I do?

Have you tried compiling the game in the editor?

 

[Jess08]

Yes, I tried that. But it didn't change anything. :(

Looks like there is a sound file missing. Maybe you created/changed the number of a pokemon and forgot to create the "cry file" or you've changed something in the script x.x

And one know how to fix this?

Is there anyway to make the attack animations be different depending on who is using it (Player/Enemy). For example for growl, I need the animations to be backwards if the enemy uses it, and in the examples there is one called "Growl Hero" and another one called "Growl Enemy", but no animation shows when using growl.
I changed the name of those to "MOVE:GROWL HERO" and "MOVE:GROWL ENEMY" and still nothing. They work if it's just "MOVE:GROWL", but the animation doesn't reverse when used by the enemy.

So, is there any way of making an animation for the Player and one for the enemy for the same move?

 

[Opalescent]

Sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm having trouble with my map connections. When I put two maps side by side, when you walk halfway across one map, you jump randomly into the one it has been connected too, and the sprite dissapears. The player can move, but you can't see the sprite and it doesn't recognise my passage settings. Basically, you jump from one map to the other in the wrong place and get stuck. I can't fix it :/ are there known problems for the visual editor like this?

Could anyone give me a Fast Ball,Friend Ball,Lure Ball,Moon Ball,Love Ball and Heavy Ball script?

It's not neccesary a script to create those Pokeballs, just create them in items.txt from the PBS folder, and following the instructions from the notes.html file.

Talking about the notes.html file, I have a question, about the "Supplied Name for a Person" instructions.

I understand how to supply a name for a rival for example, I've tried that and it works perfectly, but also I want to supply a name for a "second rival", so I tried to do that by putting again the script next to the first rival name section, but it didnt work.

Is there a method to supply a name for a second rival? and how to do that?

Actually, a script is necessary to make those pokeballs work as he wants them to work, if he does as you say so, they will only work as a normal Pokeball.
