I love you. xD This is a dream come true for pretty much every person who is planning to make a Poke fangame...

 

[NytewolfAU2k7]

Some pretty sweet changes there Poccil :) Keep it up, You're doing a good job! :)

awsome i love the headbutt trees, but one thing, i dont know if this can be done, but do you think you can make the headbutt trees happen on a terrain tag, because i doin a johto remake and there are quite a few headbutt trees on one map and i dont want the game to lag up because of event overload. if you could look into it that would be great, but dont make it a big thing on your list i was just wondering if it could be done without a lot of code change.

From what I have read this starter kit the best Pokemon starter kit out there. However I am looking for an full detailed features list, that explains whats in included etc. Is there one avalable.

Hmm...let me explain it in as few words as possible...

This kit kicks ass and it pretty much replicates FR/LG/R/S/E 100% :)


Thanks for updating it Poccil ;) I just updated MS to this Release and am working on some new maps. I'm also thinking of re-mapping my game with my Kyledove tileset (I Posted it in Game Dev Resources for anyone who wants it)

Keep it up

I tested it, works fine most part.

Two things.
- In the PokéGear menu, the badges (if you talked to the badges-NPC) appear in the background, under the Hero-render in the menu. That's probably a glitch.
- I experience a constant lag. I think this has to do with the amount of resources the project needs, and particularly the tileset (damn its huge right? xD), but maybe you know an anti-lag script... O_o

All the rest, it's perfect. All we need to do is help you out on the animations department.

I experience no lag at all, maybe it's time for a better computer? And yeah, Poccil...just take out those silly badges in the Pokegear.

Putting the answer simple gives me the point, lol. Thanks for that I have decided I am using this starter kit. :)

 

[NytewolfAU2k7]

Two questions... I hope someone can help me with. I will be grateful for any help;
1. How do I tell when the player has a certain item (for an ingame quest)
2. How do I show how many of a certain item I have collected in this menu;

I've got the foundation seen here working, but actually showing the amount is eluding me...

[poccil]

The PokemonBag class has a function, pbQuantity, that does exactly what you want. You can use it to check for the existence or amount of an item in the Bag. Here's how to use it:

Conditional branch for checking for the existence of an item:

$PokemonBag.pbQuantity(PBItems::POTION)>0

Script example: Printing the number of items

itemname=PBItems.getName(PBItems::POTION)
itemqty=$PokemonBag.pbQuantity(PBItems::POTION)
print("#{itemqty}x #{itemname}")

poccil , could you make a little guide on how to use some of the scripts.

 

[NytewolfAU2k7]

Thanks for that, Poccil :)

 

[BlueEew]

What version of RPG Maker do you have to have for this to work, I cannot get this working. Is there a free version.

 

[Flameguru]

Poccil, there is a glitch appearing. For some reason if you compile your game and encrypt it for releases, some people get a missing character message. Whats up with that?

Please fix :) And Remember, it only happens if you compile it and Encrypt it, it will work fine if you compile it and leave it unencrypted....odd :\

 

[poccil]

That was a trick I made in order to access files from the Characters folder as pictures. Unfortunately that didn't work; however I can edit RPG::Cache to make the trick work properly.

Can anyone help me please. I need to get a working version of RPG Maker to be able to use the starter kit. Blizzys kit is working using the Postility Kights version. My trial version as now given up.

I need to know what exactly I need to download to get the starter kit working. I want to start making the first demo for a project I am doing at my community.
