If you really need help, try not to ask for it in your thread. Post in the Team Recruitment thread.

I did post there. Noone replied, only people that posted are people looking for help aswell.

Oh, okay then. I guess I'll have to wait till someone replies...


Anyway; on topic:

I've been trying to learn RGSS. It's hard, I must say. Mainly been working on the dual screen script. I've made a script, when I test my game; it has no errors, and the game plays normally. But the screen doesn't change a bit from what it normally looks like.

Spoiler:

#==============================================================================
# ** Window_DualScreen
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This is for the Dual Screen.

    self.windowskin = RPG::Cache.windowskin(@background_version_one)

    super()
    self.x = x
    self.y = y
    self.width = width

  def disabled_color
    return Color.new(255, 255, 255, 128)
  end
end

Theres the current code, could someone with skills in RGSS look over it for me and give me some tips, please? Also, some of the code was taken from other scripts.

I'll send you a pm soon with how you do it.

Yes. Thank you so much. I'm doing it right now :)
Should I add you to a Credits list or something?

The name seems confusing. Onix.. Onyx..

You definetly need to scale back your ideas. Having all regions and whatnot is a crazy task. Its highly unlikely that you'll ever finish.

Set your sights on one region. Then expand from there if you still have the sprit.

Good luck on your project :)

The names likely to changed ;)

And yeah, maybe one other Region, like Hoenn. Hoenn is my favourite Region so far. Then if I still wanna do it. I'll add the other 3.

Nice effort but don't you think traveling to space is a bit to much to think about now.
And all those Regions? Set a few goals for your game now that ain't to hard, and if you think you got what it takes to make your game that good do it. But by looking at the little progress you've done and the mistakes you've made in those screenies i don't think nows a good time to set out features for your game that most likely wont come along.

Though i like your effort keep working on it and never give up.

Traveling to Space will happen, probably once. In the Rocket Center in Hoenn, you go up there to explore strange happenings that the scientists found, and you meat some Pokemon up there.

Update: I have an update!

I've decided to use Poccil's Pokemon Essentials. And I've been working on the Dual Screen thing, but I need help.

Well, I have 2 problems; first, that is the size I want of the screen. I want the bar to be in the middle, how would I do this. I'm still looking through codes. And secondly, how do I make maps only appear on the top screen? I'm not going to upload a screenshot, though.​

 

[DarkDoom3000]

Nice, the starter kit will make it a lot easier to get your game completed if you're new to rpgmaker.

never worked with rmxp, so wouldn't know how to help you with the dual screen stuff.

Thanks. I am about to add Poccil to a Credits part in the first page (Been busy since I posted update).

EDIT: Updated first page.

But the bar in the Main script place this under Graphics.freeze.

    $bar=Sprite.new(@viewport)
    $bar.bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/spacer.png")
    $bar.x = 0
    $bar.y = Y
    $bar.z = 999999999

Put for the Y the half of the size in height. E.g You're screen is 480x720 than you just do 720 divided by 2 is 360.

As for making the map only on the top screen, just put a picture on the bottom screen so you don't see it. Do this just like the code I posted, just make sure you selected the right graphic. And put it right under the bar.

You can't expect to make a dual screen just by resizing the screen to ds size which by the way is the wrong way to do it. Resize the screen to 784 height and 512 width then change the resize factor to 0.5. If you can't do this method then I would strongly suggest to learn how to code first before trying to make a dual screen out of the blues.

I did what you said and it didn't really do anything.. And by the way, I'm trying to learn RGSS as I go..

But the bar in the Main script place this under Graphics.freeze.

    $bar=Sprite.new(@viewport)
    $bar.bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/spacer.png")
    $bar.x = 0

Thanks for trying to help, but this code doesn't work properly..

    $bar=Sprite.new(@viewport)
    $bar.bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/spacer.png")
    $bar.x = 0
    $bar.y = 392
    $bar.z = 999999999
    $screen=Spriite.new(@veiwport)
    $screen.bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/bottom_screen.png")
    $screen.x = 0
    $screen.y = 398
    $screen.z = 99999999

I put it under Graphics.freeze in the Main script, it just gets this error:

What does that mean?

You wrote $screen=Spriite.new, always check for spelling errors.

The method does work seeming as I have done it :P. You just need to learn how to do it.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it right now.

Do I need to put the:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Bar
#      x : x-coordinate
#      y : y-coordinate
#------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or something like that? Or were you referring to my spelling?

EDIT: I guess it was just the spelling xD

EDIT 2: How do I move the position of the player on the screen to be in the middle of the top screen?

EDIT 3: What script do I change, so that it blocks off everything, and everything (Text) is on the top screen?

 

[me2hack]

Make a new script above main. Call it Fix, doesn't really matter. In it put $Graphics_height = 392
Then, go to Game_Player and replace every Graphics.height with $Graphics_height.
Do the same with the script PokeBattle_ActualScene, so that you can see it on the top screen.

In Fix, do I only just put $Graphics_height = 392? Because, I tried that. And it didn't work.
