Oh, after the script to delete the trainer's party, put $Trainer.party.compact! (with the exclamation mark). That should solve it.

Hi,

I have a problem to put gif images on my game.
The problem is that the gif is not animated in the game :/ . I only see the first image of the gif...
Could someone check the gifsprite class to see if there is a problem in it?

Here it is :

Spoiler:

class GifSprite
 def initialize(file,viewport=nil)
  @gifbitmaps=[]
  @gifdelays=[]
  @totalframes=0
  @framecount=0
  @sprite=Sprite.new(viewport)
  filestring=pbGetFileString(file)
  if !filestring
   filestring=pbGetFileString(file+".gif")
  end
  if filestring && GifLibrary::PngDll
   result=GifLibrary::GifToPngFilesInMemory.call(filestring,filestring.length,File.basename(file))
  else
   result=0
  end
  if result>0
   @gifdelays=GifLibrary.getDataFromResult(result)
   @[email protected]
   for i in [email protected]
    @gifdelays[i]=[@gifdelays[i],1].max
    bmfile=sprintf("%s%d.png",File.basename(file),i);
    if FileTest.exist?(bmfile)
      @gifbitmaps.push(Bitmap.new(bmfile))
      File.delete(bmfile)
    else
      @gifbitmaps.push(Bitmap.new(1,1))
    end
    @sprite.bitmap=@gifbitmaps[0]
   end
  end
 end
 def totalframes
  @totalframes
 end
 def currentframe
  @totalframes<=0 ? 0 : @framecount%@totalframes
 end
 def disposed?
  @sprite.disposed?
 end
 def viewport
  @sprite.viewport
 end
 def width
  @gifbitmaps.length==0 ? 0 : @gifbitmaps[0].width
 end
 def height
  @gifbitmaps.length==0 ? 0 : @gifbitmaps[0].height
 end
 def update
  @sprite.update
  if @gifbitmaps.length>0
   @framecount+=2
   frame=@totalframes<=0 ? 0 : @framecount%@totalframes
   frametoshow=0
   for i in [email protected]
    frametoshow=i if @gifdelays[i]<=frame
   end
   @sprite.bitmap=@gifbitmaps[frametoshow]
  end
 end
 def dispose
  @sprite.dispose
  for i in @gifbitmaps
   i.dispose
  end
 end
 def flash(*arg); sprite.flash(*arg); end
 %w[
   x y z ox oy visible zoom_x zoom_y
   angle mirror bush_depth opacity blend_type 
   color tone
 ].each do |s|
  eval <<-__END__
   def #{s}; @sprite.#{s}; end
   def #{s}=(value); @sprite.#{s}=value; end
  __END__
 end
end

It begins at line 1079 in PokemonUtilities.

 

[Wichu]

Are you calling the update method every frame?

 

[imtheomega]

Every frame?
I'm just using

sprite=GifSprite.new("Graphics/Pictures/myimage.gif")
sprite.x=200
sprite.y=100

in an event.

It doesn't do the update by itself?

 

[Demonic Budha]

atleast you get the first frame, when i tryed to use a Gif, it just kept crashing the ESK.

 

[yaoimutt]

o.o what??????? what happen to the pokemon sprites???? it's been a really long time sence i even looked at the starter kit, and i deleted the old one (my project was usless anyways) but this one doesn't have the pokemon sprites, T-T does anyone still have them?

 

[Gamekrazy]

Um, I run into an error when I attempt to use the pokemon center.

Message: Failed to load bitmap: Graphics/Characters/pokeballs on left

I looked in the character folder, and the file 'pokeballs on the left' is not in the character folder (niether is 'pokeballs on the right' which I am sure would go along with it) Does anybody have these?

 

[imtheomega]

@Gamekrazy :

Like I said to phoenixprime in private :

Download this : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O67MEM7R

The images must go in characters, the audio file in ME. And since the only problem seems to be the images, u dont have to replace the scene_map in your script.

 

[Demonic Budha]

hey imtheomega, the Scene_Map.txt, do i just replace the entire scene_map script, or just add this to it??

 

[imtheomega]

U have to replace it.

Fblaster gave me a way to give the caterpillar event. I put it into a new project. If someone want it, here it is : http://www.4shared.com/file/43097601/71580fe/Projet_1.html

Just a few words about it. For now, it works for 4 players : the hero and three others and the only moves are the normal ones : go to left, right, up or down. The 3 other players are images, not real players. When u want some of them to go in a battle 2vs 2 with u, u have to use the registerpartnertrainer thing.
The 4 events must be put on every map u do. And the switch caterpillar must be desactivated every time u go from a map to another.
I also put switches on the player : when u want to had a player to the caterpillar, u just have to activate his switch.

If someone want to improve it for other moves (run, jump,...) for example, feel free to do it
and please, give the way u do it here :p.

Well, I need some help about the starter kit.
How to show a pokeball sprite in Pokedex if you already caught the pokemon?

Oh, that's not the kind of caterpillar i need, then. Because I need one that really adds one hero, since I can't possibly add 386 extra events in every map, you see? =P
Thanks anyway.

 

[imtheomega]

I see what u mean. But I really dont know how to do it :p.

The simplest way I found to make a caterpillar was this one. I just have to copy the events everytime I begin a new map.

U would have to do it in the general script but how, that's the question :p.



Comming back to my gif problem, Wichu, do u know what's the problem, why only the first frame appears when I just use

sprite=GifSprite.new("Graphics/Pictures/myimage.gif")
sprite.x=200
sprite.y=100

in an event?

 

[Wichu]

As I said, the frame is only changed when the update method is called. It might be a good idea to make the event in the script editor instead, or at least, just that section.

 

[imtheomega]

Yes but how do u use it?
I tried
sprite=GifSprite.new("Graphics/Pictures/myimage.gif")
sprite.x=200
sprite.y=100
sprite.update

and sprite=GifSprite.new("Graphics/Pictures/myimage.gif")
sprite.x=200
sprite.y=100
sprite=sprite.update

but it does nothing :/ .

Hello everybody.

When I'm healing my Pokémon in a Pokémon Center, I get this error :

Exception: RuntimeError
Message: Failed to load bitmap: Graphics/Characters/pokeballs on left
BitmapCache:91:in `load_bitmap'
BitmapCache:130:in `character'

Spriteset_Map:213:in `_animationSprite_update'
AnimationSprite:91:in `update'
Scene_Map:49:in `updateSpritesets'

I think that the Pokeballs Picture is missed.

Do you know I can fix it ?

The solution to your solution was given at the previous page.

Download this : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O67MEM7R

The images must go in characters, the audio file in ME. And since the only problem seems to be the images, u dont have to replace the scene_map in your script.

 

[lightou]

Shame on me...

However, thank you ! :)

EDIT : Hey, I would like to know if it's possible to show the HPbar in the second page of the summary (like in FR & LF) ?

Thank you.

Well, I need some help about the starter kit.
How to show a pokeball sprite in Pokedex if you already caught the pokemon?

Sorry, anyone could help ?
And here's another question.
How to change the trainercard picture when switch 20 is on ?
That means when switch 20 is on, the trainercard will change its look.

 

[imtheomega]

To answer to your first question OmegaGroudon, if u are satisfied with a pokeball in the upperleft of the screen when u point to a pokemon u own, u can replace the class Window_Pokedex in PokemonPokedex by

Spoiler:

class Window_Pokedex < SpriteWindow_Selectable
attr_reader :baseColor
attr_reader :shadowColor
def initialize(x,y,width,height)
@starting=true
super(x,y,width,height)

@pokeball=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/pokeball.png")
@baseColor=Color.new(9<<3,9<<3,9<<3)
@shadowColor=Color.new(26<<3,26<<3,26<<3)
self.index=0

@starting=false
refresh
end

@commands=value
refresh
end
def dispose
@selarrow.dispose
@pokeball.dispose

end
def species
return @commands.length==0 ? 0 : @commands[self.index][0]
end
def refresh
return if @starting
@[email protected]

pbSetSystemFont(self.contents)

self.contents.clear

pbCopyBitmap(self.contents,@pokeball,250,0) if self.index==i
end
if $Trainer.seen[species]
text=_ISPRINTF("No.{1:03d} {2:s}",@commands[0],@commands[1])
else
text=_ISPRINTF("No.{1:03d} ----------",@commands[0])
end
self.contents.font.color=@shadowColor
pbDrawShadow(self.contents,16,ypos,self.contents.width-16,32,text)
self.contents.font.color=@baseColor
self.contents.draw_text(16,ypos,self.contents.width-16,32,text)
ypos+=32
end
end
def update
dorefresh=false
oldindex=self.index
super
dorefresh=(self.index!=oldindex)
refresh if dorefresh
end
end

For the pokeball wich appears for each pokemon owned, I haven't found an answer yet. I only succeed to do it for the first "screen" of the pokedex with

Spoiler:

class Window_Pokedex < SpriteWindow_Selectable
attr_reader :baseColor
attr_reader :shadowColor
def initialize(x,y,width,height)
@starting=true
super(x,y,width,height)

@pokeball=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/pokeball.png")
@baseColor=Color.new(9<<3,9<<3,9<<3)

end
def dispose

@pokeball.dispose

end
def species
return @commands.length==0 ? 0 : @commands[self.index][0]
end
def refresh
return if @starting
@[email protected]
dheight=self.height-32

if !self.contents || self.contents.disposed? ||
self.contents.height<dheight || self.contents.width<dwidth
self.contents.dispose if self.contents
self.contents=Bitmap.new([1,dwidth].max,[1,dheight].max)
pbSetSystemFont(self.contents)
end
self.contents.clear
contentsWidth=self.contents.width
ypos=0
for i in 0...@item_max
if i<self.top_row || i>self.top_row+self.page_row_max
next
end
pbCopyBitmap(self.contents,@selarrow,0,ypos) if self.index==i
species=@commands[0]
if $Trainer.seen[species]
if $Trainer.owned[species]
pbCopyBitmap(self.contents,@pokeball,210,i*32)
end
text=_ISPRINTF("No.{1:03d} {2:s}",@commands[0],@commands[1])
else
text=_ISPRINTF("No.{1:03d} ----------",@commands[0])
end
self.contents.font.color=@shadowColor
pbDrawShadow(self.contents,16,ypos,self.contents.width-16,32,text)
self.contents.font.color=@baseColor
self.contents.draw_text(16,ypos,self.contents.width-16,32,text)
ypos+=32
end
end
def update
dorefresh=false
oldindex=self.index
super
dorefresh=(self.index!=oldindex)
refresh if dorefresh
end
end

But it doesn't work for pokemon wich have a number greater than 10 because I use a i*32 for the y of the bitmap (pbCopyBitmap(self.contents,@pokeball,210,i*32)) and then the pokeball image is out of the screen...


Edit : I have found it ^^.
Here is the script that u must replace :

Spoiler:

class Window_Pokedex < SpriteWindow_Selectable
attr_reader :baseColor

def initialize(x,y,width,height)
@starting=true
super(x,y,width,height)

self.contents=Bitmap.new([1,dwidth].max,[1,dheight].max)
pbSetSystemFont(self.contents)
end
self.contents.clear
contentsWidth=self.contents.width
ypos=0
for i in 0...@item_max
if i<self.top_row || i>self.top_row+self.page_row_max
next
end
pbCopyBitmap(self.contents,@selarrow,0,ypos) if self.index==i
species=@commands[0]
if $Trainer.seen[species]
j=self.top_row
if $Trainer.owned[species]
pbCopyBitmap(self.contents,@pokeball,210,(i-j)*32)
end
text=_ISPRINTF("No.{1:03d} {2:s}",@commands[0],@commands[1])
else
text=_ISPRINTF("No.{1:03d} ----------",@commands[0])
end
self.contents.font.color=@shadowColor
pbDrawShadow(self.contents,16,ypos,self.contents.width-16,32,text)
self.contents.font.color=@baseColor
self.contents.draw_text(16,ypos,self.contents.width-16,32,text)
ypos+=32
end
end
def update
dorefresh=false
oldindex=self.index
super
dorefresh=(self.index!=oldindex)
refresh if dorefresh
end
end

It seems to work fine. If u find a problem, say it ;).


To answer to your second question. Replace the pbStartScene in PokemonTrainerCard by :

Spoiler:

def pbStartScene
@sprites={}
@viewport=Viewport.new(0,0,Graphics.width,Graphics.height)
@viewport.z=99999
@sprites["background"]=Plane.new(@viewport)
@sprites["background"].bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/trcardbg.png")
@sprites["card"]=Sprite.new(@viewport)
if $game_switches[20]==false
@sprites["card"].bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/TrainerCard.png")
else
@sprites["card"].bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/trcard.PNG")
end
@sprites["overlay"]=Sprite.new(@viewport)
@sprites["overlay"].bitmap=Bitmap.new(Graphics.width,Graphics.height)
pbSetSystemFont(@sprites["overlay"].bitmap)
pbDrawTrainerCardFront
pbFadeInAndShow(@sprites)
end

TrainerCard.png is the first trainer card u have in the game and trcard.png is the second, when the switch 20 is activated
