On both .txts and the really weird part is that it compiles just fine. I dont get the error untill the battle starts. And the only time it happens is when I try to make custom moves, all the other trainers work perfectly.

NeoStar:

For lines 31 through 33 of the script section PokemonTrainers, make sure those lines read like the following:

     for k in 0...4
      pokemon.moves[k]=PBMove.new(poke[4+k])
     end

This was fixed in the February 3 release.

at first when i tried using your starter kit there was a conflict between softwares, but i fixed that with opening up in notepad and doing what you told houndoomed.
but after i did that and tried opening up the game it says "could not read hero data"
how do i fix this?

 

[Lorem Ipsum]

Houndoomed: Try this script; it's simple Ruby telling the engine to repeat the action three times:

Conditional Branch:  Script:  3.times do { $PokemonBag.pbHasSpecies?(::PBSpecies::CELEBI, ::PBSpecies::Pokémon, ::PBSpecies::Pokémon) } end
  -- The Pokemon Celebi is in the party
  -- The Pokémon _____ is in the party
  -- The Pokémon _____ is in the party
Else
  -- The Pokemon Celebi is not in the party
  -- The Pokémon _____ is not in the party
  -- The Pokémon _____ is not in the party
Branch End

Somebody will need to clarify this for me, but I believe that's how you would do it.

mechanicalblood: The game will encounter some errors when put through RPG Tsukkuru. I suggest upgrading to the proper version of RMXP, which you can buy from Enterbrain.

i updated it to PRGXP 1.02a
and now it says "failed to load actor data"
instead of "failed to load hero data"

Houndoomed:

It came to my attention that the documentation is a little wrong there. For your case, however, the Conditional Branch should look like:

pbHasSpecies?(PBSpecies::X) && pbHasSpecies?(PBSpecies::Y) && pbHasSpecies?(PBSpecies::Z)

where X, Y, and Z are three Pokemon species.

I have a problem with new moves:

Ability should be Steadfast, moves should be Swords Dance, Aura Sphere, Close Combat and Dragon Pulse.
As you can see, the name and description for custom moves and abilities (and presumably items) doesn't show up. The move power and accuracy are there, and work in battle, but the names just don't show up.
This happens with all the new moves I added (the DP moves).

EDIT: I think I know how to fix it. It's probably because I didn't update Intl.txt. I'm just going to stop using Intl.txt for now.

Thanks poccil. I'm just trying to figure out how to make the Professor give you a starter Pokemon.

So X, Y and Z are the starter Pokemon. But this script is only if you have all three Pokemon. Is there a way to change it so it sees if you have just one of the three Pokemon?

Or is there a better way to get the Professor to give you a Pokemon? Sorry, I'm still a kind of beginner at this..

Houndoomed, it's as easy as using switches D:

 

[xdanx]

there's some way to compile a game with this engine using Molebox Pro? 'cause it gives "Failed to Load Script" Error and others :(

 

[victorspvl]

I have some questions:

1-How do I add new attacks?

2-I wonder if you can do this:
When the switch 98 enabled you change the hero and all its items and pokémons disappear.
And when the switch 99 is enabled you once again the same character of the beginning of the game.
It is possible?

I believe Poccil answered question 1 in response to one of my questions several pages back. Just do a quick search of the thread.

Does anyone know a way to set default values for options? For example: I want to set the default values for Font Style and Message Box to FRLG for both AND make it so users can't change them from FRLG. I tried editing some things in PokemonOption, but it didn't work.

 

[Atomic Reactor]

is there a way i could change the maximum amount of learnable moves from 4 to 6?

 

[MR.GLITCH_KING]

i got u mrchewy
wait bout 5 min and let me make sure it works

k here

open pokemonmap

and replace line 249-277

with

class PokemonSystem
attr_accessor :textspeed
attr_accessor :battlestyle
attr_accessor :frame
attr_accessor :font
attr_accessor :screensize
attr_accessor :battlescene
attr_accessor :tilemap
attr_accessor :textskin
def textskin
return (!@textskin) ? 0 : @textskin
end
def initialize
@frame=0
@battlestyle=0
@battlescene=0
@textspeed=2
@screensize=1
@font=2
@tilemap=1
@textskin=0
end
end

this would change the font

go to pokemonoption

go to line 229-236

replace it with this

EnumOption.new(_INTL("TEXT SPEED"),[_INTL("SLOW"),_INTL("MID"),_INTL("FAST")]),
EnumOption.new(_INTL("BATTLE SCENE"),[_INTL("ON"),_INTL("OFF")]),
EnumOption.new(_INTL("BATTLE STYLE"),[_INTL("SHIFT"),_INTL("SET")]),
EnumOption2.new(_INTL("FONT STYLE"),[_INTL("FRLG")]),
NumberOption.new(_INTL("FRAME"),_INTL("TYPE%d"),1,28),
EnumOption2.new(_INTL("SCREEN SIZE"),[_INTL("240x160"),_INTL("480x320"),_INTL("320x240"),_INTL("640x480")]),
EnumOption2.new(_INTL("MAP VIEW"),[_INTL("ORIGINAL"),_INTL("CUSTOM"),_INTL("PERSPECTIVE")]),
EnumOption2.new(_INTL("SPEECH FRAME"),[_INTL("DEFAULT"),_INTL("R/S"),_INTL("FIRE/LEAF"),_INTL("EMERALD")])

hope it works

 

[Mrchewy]

It's not possible. All the graphics in the kit are presuming that Pokémon have a maximum of 4 moves. Even if you manage to increase that maximum, most of the graphics will screw up.

i got u mrchewy

Tried it, doesn't work.

 

[MR.GLITCH_KING]

wait
it works for me though look

 

[Mrchewy]

This is what I got:

 

[MR.GLITCH_KING]

oh i see what u did wrong here

this

EnumOption.new(_INTL("FONT STYLE"),[_INTL("FRLG")]),

should be

EnumOption2.new(_INTL("FONT STYLE"),[_INTL("FRLG")]),

there?
