[Soul.//Silver]

How i can put clouds in a map???

Very thanks for all

>.> LINK REMOVED. Never mind, figure it out yourself. It's an RMXP basic for god sake

 

[KingCharizard]

Is it just me but does this just seem overdone now, the first few games it was cool now it seems everyone needs it, I'm thinking of removing this feature from my game...

 

[Soul.//Silver]

Fogs go well only with certain graphics, some graphics the fogs look absolutely horrible with. Personally I think the clouds in the first screenshot in my sig go well with the chosen tiles, and the same with the second. Btw, I might remove that link and let VEGET figure it out himself.

 

[Peeky Chew]

Does anyoe have the HG/SS sea water auto tile? Thanks.

=begin
This is an achievements script. This is pretty much a system like off the
Xbox360. This is really easy to use its pretty much a simple plug and play!
You don't need to set anything up in the script at all!

Q: If I dont need to setup achievemnts in the script, where do I set them up?
A: Simple! Its all in teh database. With this script the achievements are
items. You make an Item in the database with an Achievement Name and
Description.

Q: That sounds easy! But how do I turn on/give achievemnts?
A: Easy! use this in a script call and enter this in
$achieve.gain_item(item_id)

Q: So how do I view achievements?
A: $scene = Scene_Achievements.new

Q: How do we setup the achievements score?
A: Set the price in the item. That is the score.

Earlier on ,about a month or two ago, I stated a prolem abou tiling. there are at least three things i wanna know now.One is does anyone know how to align these tiles correctly?Two is does anyone know where the indoor/rest of the tiles are at for DPPt. 3 is does anyone know where I can find HGSS tiles?

Some1 might have already written this question, but do any1 know how to change tile animations for fire red or ruby?(in A-map) I would really need this help!

Ok Karel, first of all you gotta resize your tiles by 200% (do it twice as big) in paint, and then grab each square that is 32x32 or building (make sure its dimensions are multiples of 32 ;) ) and put it in a grid like the one bellow. As for indoor tiles, Im sure 4th Gen Matt has them, or just go to https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=210319
There are some HGss looking tiles at the Pixel art forum, so you might want to go there and thake a look :shocked:

Thanks dude now i can really start mapping out routes now.

items. You make an Item in the database with an Achievement Name and
Description.

Q: That sounds easy! But how do I turn on/give achievemnts?
A: Easy! use this in a script call and enter this in
$achieve.gain_item(item_id)

Q: So how do I view achievements?
A: $scene = Scene_Achievements.new

Q: How do we setup the achievements score?
A: Set the price in the item. That is the score.

So, I was thinking about how the character always has a shadow beneath him, and I was wondering if anyone had just the shadow circle for characters. I was thinking about seeing if I could make a common event that would set the shadow graphic below the character as long as the character isn't on a specific terrain tag, the location of the shadow being set from variables containing the player's current x and y location. Of course, this is all theoretically speaking, and a small amount of scripting would probably have to take place to set the shadow priority beneath the player.

 

[Mrchewy]

Colbex, I was considering doing something similar for quite some time. In the end, I decided it was just easier to add the shadows manually to the charsets themselves (this can be done in minutes if you use a Photoshop Batch). It's not perfect, and you'll have to sort out a solution for when the player jumps a ledge, but its by far the easiest method.

Well, I seem to have a rather disturbing problem...The Day and Night system of the Starter kit does not work with the maps i make but it works on the test map present in the starter kit...Is there any kinda switch to trigger this or something?

Ok, go to the editor, then go to Metadata, select your map and turn the outdoor setting true

That achievement system could be real handy in my game. I hope you post the script here.

=begin
This is an achievements script. This is pretty much a system like off the
Xbox360. This is really easy to use its pretty much a simple plug and play!
You don't need to set anything up in the script at all!

Q: If I dont need to setup achievemnts in the script, where do I set them up?
A: Simple! Its all in teh database. With this script the achievements are
items. You make an Item in the database with an Achievement Name and
Description.

Q: That sounds easy! But how do I turn on/give achievemnts?
A: Easy! use this in a script call and enter this in
$achieve.gain_item(item_id)

Q: So how do I view achievements?
A: $scene = Scene_Achievements.new

Q: How do we setup the achievements score?
A: Set the price in the item. That is the score.

We are looking for that script compatible with Poccil's Starter kit , and I also provided one that could only be used on normal RPG games, but couldnt be used on Poccil's kit:disappoin. BTW I found out how to use the light effects:D

It depends entirely on what you want your achievement system to do. You can either go down the route your script suggests (giving bonus items, presumably after a difficult side quest), go for the typical system used by the consoles (i.e. get an achievement notification but nothing else out of it, e.g. catch 10 Pokémon, beat Elite Four, capture legendary X, etc.), or do something else entirely.

The first option (bonus items) is easy. Create an array (say, $Trainer.achievements) of length X, and set all entries to false at the beginning of the game. This array corresponds to a list of bonus items (e.g. Master Ball, Amulet Coin, etc.). When you gain a particular item, set that item's entry to true. You can then create a new screen somewhere (PokéGear?) that displays a list of all possible bonus items, using that array as a reference for what has already been done.

For the console-like achievements system, do the same thing. The difference is you'll need to put lots of checks in lots of places to decide whether you've done something, rather than just have the Master Ball-giving event also change the array element. For example, make a check at the end of each battle that will set the "100 Pokémon seen"/"Caught Mewtwo" achievement to true if you have done. Put a line of code in the Rock Smash script to add 1 to a game variable, and then set the "50 smashed rocks" achievement to true if so. That kind of thing.

As I said, it depends entirely on what you want your achievements to be. As I've pointed out, though, there's no real need to have a huge section of code for this, when a single array would do just as well (plus a few lines dotted around elsewhere in the scripts, if you want).

You could even make a thread asking for suggestions for achievements. That'd be fun.

 

[IDKGUY]

Maruno, to be sincere, i have no idea of how to do that :\. I want it to be just like the console like system, as you said, but I have no idea of how to do it. I just thought it would be a good idea to have achievements in our games, but now it seems a little bit complicated:disappoin.

 

[thepsynergist]

I don't see how you can't just try to convert the one you have into the Pokemon Essentials SDK.
