Just wanted to say that I now have multiple form Pokémon working properly.

However, I'm missing their back sprites.

If someone could find the backsprites of:then it could be implemented in Essentials.

Here's Giratina's forms in-game (obviously, the sprites will be redone in Advance style in the future):

They have the same dex number etc. but different stats and abilities, just like in Platinum.

Backsprites? I compiled some of them in a zip, resized them using GIMP(except for Burmy and Wormadam). It's in the Attachments. For Shellos and Gastrodon:
Shellos: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shellos_(Pokémon)
Gastrodon: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Gastrodon_(Pokémon)
its in the bottom of the page.

For my questions:
1. How do I fix this:

2. I tried to create an "Alternate Formes" script and when summary is viewed, it looks like this:

Hi poccil,

I didn't get an answer to a mail I've sent u 1 week ago, about an intl problem (with the lines with \1 at the end : those lines are not translated), so here it is :

Here a fixed version of the script section PBIntl. You will have to re-extract the game's text. If the script fails to work, then you must use the latest version of Pokemon Essentials and try again.

Code: 
def pbAddScriptTexts(items,script)
               script.scan(/(?:_I)\s*\(\s*\"((?:[^\\\"]*\\\"?)*[^\"]*)\"/){|s|
                string=s[0]
                string.gsub!(/\\\"/,"\"")
                string.gsub!(/\\\\/,"\\")
                items.push(string)
               }
end

def pbAddRgssScriptTexts(items,script)
               script.scan(/(?:_INTL|_ISPRINTF)\s*\(\s*\"((?:[^\\\"]*\\\"?)*[^\"]*)\"/){|s|
                string=s[0]
     		 string.gsub!(/\\r/,"\r")
     		 string.gsub!(/\\n/,"\n")
     		 string.gsub!(/\\1/,"\1")
     		 string.gsub!(/\\\"/,"\"")

the bridge is on the third, cave/ moutain tiles on second and river/sea on the 1st. how would i go about chaning the tile priority.
Click to expand...

tile priority can be found in the database under tilesets. the n just click priority on the right side. the higher the number, the "higher" the tile is.

tried downloading the october 4 08 version of pokemon essentials. I'm pretty sure that's correct file to open up is game.rxproj right? When I open it up it gives me an error saying "Failed to Load Actor Data". I'm not sure why this is, or if it's just the wrong file. Also, I'm using Windows Vista if that might effect it, i'm not sure. By the way, yes, I do have RMXP. I'm trying to open up the file basically so I just want to know how to access it.

Please help me!!! I can't even open it up because of this error.

the rtp is basically all the default tilesets, charsets ect. and not having it would not stop the program from loading, it would stop a game from playing. but only if the game uses it

... when I try downloading it it says I already hav RMXP downloaded. But I have the normal version, not RTP version. Should I delete RMXP and replace it with RMXP RTP?

there is no rtp version. RTP is not a seperate version it is just a lot of image files that can be used in rmxp
 
I want to know is their anyway to change the heroes backsprite and ow sprite including the battle graphic in the game for a short while for example like the hero uses a disguise to get into an evil team's base or something like that.

top of the page poccil answered it. its possible only through a small event. Because of the different sprites for surfing and fishing.
 
Hi poccil. i have a small question about modifing the scripts. I would like to change the word "pokemon" used on every screen it appears on, such as the start menu, pokedex page, pokemon summary etc. how would i go about it without damaging the game? (hope this makes sense 2 u)
 
Where can you edit on wich place you see the pokemon in battle?

Each Pokemon species in "PBS/pokemon.txt" has three parameters for setting the position of each Pokemon sprite. They are detailed here:

BattlerPlayerY - Specifies the relative position of the back of the sprite on the battle screen. A higher number means the back sprite is placed lower on the screen.
BattlerEnemyY - Specifies the relative position of the front side sprite on the battle screen. A higher number means the front side sprite is placed lower on the screen.
BattlerAltitude - Specifies how far from the ground the front sprite is placed, that is, this value will be higher than 0 if the sprite has the appearance of being suspended in the air. A higher number means the front sprite is placed further from the ground.

Check if you see "onWildPokemonCreate" in the script section PokemonField. If you don't, then you must upgrade your Pokemon Essentials version. If you do, I'm afraid I can't help you further.

If it's not the answer to your question, just say it, I will take a look at the scripts to answer it better.

tile priority can be found in the database under tilesets. the n just click priority on the right side. the higher the number, the "higher" the tile is.
