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

[Shadowdrake77]

Thank you very much your like my god now <3

Oh and do I really need the script since it's name shows up in the encounters in the editor?

Haha, no problem. And no the script was just an event i made to test the encounter. Modifying the encounters will work fine. That script was just a way of setting a single encounter with the pokemon you made so you don't have to test through a ton of battles to encounter the pokemon you are adding.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll try to answer if i can.

My game includes an exact copy of Fire/Leaf Green in it. It's the first region you go to. Like the overworld and the trainers and stuff are the same, but the legendaries and pokemon encounters change. So my question is...Is there anywhere I can download a blank Kanto region already made with Pokemon Essentials? Then I could just download it, import it, and begin working. It would save me hundreds of hours of time.

Most likely not for tileset difference, and map data difference

If you mean you want the maps, your best bet is to probably go here. Last time I checked, PokeMon Global Revolution's download isn't encrypted and therefore easy to modify. They may have changed it, I'm not sure. Anyway, their maps aren't 100% accurate, and you would have to redo/fix a bit of events, but in general, it should take a load off your hands. o.o

Hey, I need with the last thing I mentioned.
I have got into a "solution" to my issue, I reated these linea:

$game_map.setup(Map ID here)
$game_player.moveto(x and y coordinates here)

But the problem is that I don't know where to put them in order to show another intro sequence, instead of the default one. My point is to show a sequence by eventing on any map, then, after the sequence ends, go to the intro script(where you see the "Press Start" thing) by putting a script command with "$scene = Scene_Intro.new" and that's it. I want my intro sequence to be fancy and take control over it... the default one "does whatever it wants", and I can't do anything to edit it.

Any help?

Would anyone mind posting the code for a "roadblock" so you can't leave the first town without a Pokemon, preferably including a rival battle for once you have obtained the Pokemon. I have been trying to do this for a while but the roadblock stays even after you get the Pokemon. (Yes I have activated the condition, "Got Pokemon". Thanks in advance. ^_^

In RPG Maker, place an event on the tile location of the roadblock. Under list of event commands:

Text: Wait, I need a pokemon!
Set Move Route: Player
                       : $>Turn 180
                       : $>1 Step Forward
Wait for Move's Completion

You might want to add the ignore if cant move option so your game doesn't get stuck, but you shouldn't need it for this case. Now (i think this is the part you need help with) add a new event page. On the left side of the event window, under conditions, check box the first switch and then click on the arrow to choose the switch. For this case probably 0002: Got Pokemon. There should be no code on the right. Options on both: move animation and through should be checked and for trigger, the first page (with the turn around code) should be player touch. The second doesn't matter, but i put action button (i think that is default). Make sure you turn on the control switch you are using, otherwise it will read as that switch is off and keep blocking you. That will give you a roadblock where it turns you back if you don't have a pokemon.

To add a rival battle, copy the second page to a third. On the second page add the rival battle code. Make sure to add at the bottom to turn on self switch A! On the third page, add self switch A is ON to the conditions. This should result in a roadblock if u have no pokemon, a rival battle the first time through, and a normal passable tile otherwise. For rival battle code check the notes for giving a player supplied name, and/or code the rival like an regular enemy trainer.

Thanks, I have done all this, but after you obtain your Pokemon the event still appears, any ideas why?

 

[Klofkac]

My questions at back pages wasn't answered. So I show them here:

How I can set the transition for next battle? Example: A battle with dialga starts and before battle face of Dialga will appear.

How I can enlarge the region map?

 

[Wichu]

My questions at back pages wasn't answered. So I show them here:

For the first one, I believe you can set the $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBG (or something like that) variable. As for the second, I'm not quite sure what you mean... Do you mean making the map image larger than the screen? If so, you'll have to script the scrolling mechanism or whatever you want to use yourself...

I don't know. Sounds like the switch isn't getting turned on or the move route is on both pages. If the first page has no conditions and the move route in event commands, and the second has only 002:Got Pokemon is ON under conditions and no event commands, as soon as you get a pokemon it should only run the second page (do nothing). Try copying the event from the 'Test Map' that came with essentials as that works and that is what i based my answer on. I believe it is EV007 directly under the water on tile 013,011. Other than that, you need to add the line:

Control Switches: [0002: Got Pokemon] = ON

to the end of you event in which the player gets the pokemon. This has to be turned ON no matter which pokemon is chosen so make sure you didnt put it inside and if statement and only works for one pokemon, not all 3. Beyond this, i am not sure i can be of much more help unless i see your code/events.

Thanks, I've got it now, it was because I did not have a control switch on the part where the professor gives you your Pokemon, how stupid of me. :P

I've changed the main charector sprite and now when I get the running shoes I still can't run. Help?

When playtesting a few maps in RMXP (with the tilesets from Essentials) al ot of tiles can be passed when they should not be, and the player appears uder some tiles (like grass) when he should be above it. I just started in RMXP so I dont know what to do.

 

[Colbex]

Make sure to check the terrain tags and priorities of tiles. Priorities should be nothing but a dot if you appear on top of them. Tops of trees and most roof edges should have a priority of one, and lower parts of roofs, such as the PokéMon Centers should have a priority of 2, then a priority of one, like so...

|1|1|1|1|
|2|2|2|2|
|○|○|○|○|
|○|○|○|○|

If that doesn't work, make sure you haven't used any events that involved turning THROUGH on.

 

[superclaw]

How do you set priorities?
