Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post this in. But it seemed like the right place to ask this. Does anyone know any good free software I could use to create Fake Pokemon cries for my Fakemon? Or more simply put, does anyone know any good free software for making sound effects?

Does anyone know how to change default font & font color? For any text? :) (Pokemon Essentials)
Click to expand...
There's no easy way to change the default font color (we had this discussion in the Essentials thread a while back), as you basically have to find every place that the text properties are defined and alter them to your liking. There's plenty of them, so it may take some effort. Also, what do you mean by default? Essentials has a "default" font in that, if no others are specified, it will use Arial. However, if any of the other (included) fonts exist, it will use Power Green Small (if I'm not mistaken). SpriteWindow line1349 should be about what you're looking for, as that's where it checks if the fonts are present (in a particular order).

Try to ask in the Rom-Hacking Section.
 
When I edit a sprite say like Red or Crystal, and move around on the sprite, the screen will glitch and lag a little?

Any help/advice? ;i
 
I'm having a little problem with RMXP. I used to insert my tiles by just loading them into RMXP after editing them. Everything went okay, except the last time... For some reason, the transparency went wrong and I can't fix it! Can anybody help me?

All I can think of is trying to import it again and set the gray color as the transparent. I'm assuming you have those on a layer other than the first, right?

This is a copy paste of my questions in another thread, which I guess was in the wrong place:

So there are some certain programs used often for making hacks, and I'm sure they can be used for making non-pokemon RPG's or other games, right?

How much coding do you need to know to make one of these basically from scratch? And what kinds of coding?

Also, the numbers that go into the game for the RPG elements (Damage amounts, exp, etc.), are those built in easily with the program or do those need to be made from scratch?

Is it possible to make an adventure game or something without any real RPG elements?


I don't know much about coding, but I definitely want to try my hand at making a game. :D

I never got any of these questions answered, and I hate to keep pushing them, but I would really like to know.

If the answers are too long to explain, then could someone maybe push me in the right direction on how to get started with this stuff?
