Pokémon Rancher

[<~F.M.P~>]

Hmmm...Do you plan any updates in the next week or so Pokemaker? I'm ready to see what you have in store for us ;)

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Heey any updates?
Please don't tell me I wasted my precious time for a sprite you don't need

No you haven't, ofcourse not !!
Here is the update!

Hmmm...Do you plan any updates in the next week or so Pokemaker? I'm ready to see what you have in store for us ;)

Yeah here it is!

Update​

First of all, sorry community for the lateness of the update, I hadn't much time until now.. so apologies again!



I would like to start with the following.....

Yeah that's correct, it's the new Henrique Ow and Intro sprite, Credits to Tropical Sunlight for the intro sprite, credits to me (lol) for the Henrique trainer sprite!

And now the following, I would like to show you guys a map shot of the first City, Flaro City:

Spoiler:

Flaro City has an Harbour, from which you can go to a different City, name has yet to be decided!
​

Also the Flaro City Gym leader isn't a new face, can anyone guess who he/she is?
If some one guesses correct I reveal the (slightly) edited new trainer sprite!
(I will use an other sprite in the demo)

I also have a new feature I would like to share with you guys, check the spoiler!

Spoiler:

It's a new feature in the Pokémarts!
They now sell Pokémon, no fancy Pokémon but yeah, that'll come later in the game!
Here are some screenshots of it

So now even Pokémon are for sale!
Tell me what you all think about this!

I also have a new Town mapped, it's called Topburg Town, it's a town in a mountain which is called the Runsurf Cave!
It's home for mostly Sandshrew and Diglett, but you also have the chance to meet some wild Onyx and Geodude there!

For my good friend 4th Gen Matt:

I also have made a first script (a while ago) which makes the trainer able to catch other trainers Pokémon, although only one kind of trainer Pokémon, the earlier revealed Fossil Pokémon!
The script is working correctly.. So I'm really happy since it's my first script ever!

Last but not least, I'm going to announce a release date for the first demo..
Due to my lack of time the past couple of weeks it won't be that big, but yeah it still is a demo, isn't it!

So the release date I'm going to try to reach is Tuesday 9th of December!
The demo will contain 1 City, 2 Towns and 1 Gym battle!

I would like you all to know, I'm changing the update way again, because I haven't got much time all this school year to work on Rancher I'll update whenever I've made some progress.. So no more Post counts (sorry:P)

Ok that's it for this update I hope you guys liked it, and tell me what you think about it !

Great updates!

But the Pokemon should have a higher price... like 3000 (Abra 5500).
The Flaro City map is well... normal.

Keep it up and ask me for more sprites (lol)

 

[PoKéMaKeR1]

The Demo

Tropical sunlight thanks for your comments, but what you mean by flaro city is "normal"?
and about the price, they're only level 7 pokémon, you know:P
Thanks again anyways

UPDATE

oh!!!! i cant wait to play it! (im not at home though... im at the library... so i gotta wait a long time...)

 

[<~F.M.P~>]

That's a pretty nice Sprite of the Ow. I really like how this is turning out, and you have a demo already? Sweet, I'm gonna go ahead and get on that now. Keep up the work and I hope to see a new update soon. ;)

 

[~JV~]

Cool, im downloading it right now, so how further in the game this demo goes?

Yeah there is a demo already, do you like it?
Give me some comments man !!

Cool, im downloading it right now, so how further in the game this demo goes?

It goes up to the first gym, as you could read in the last update..
I think it's worth half an hour of playing time, not sure though, but yeah, tell me what you think!

Comments and critism is appriciated!

Its looking cool, the musics are all fitting the characters and the first road map was really coolalso, the game is a bit hard for the start, the haunted mansion thing etc, but there is a problem with the pokemon sprites... look what happens...

 

[ForeverRed]

Sorry to say but that map is :\ not very good
do the buildings match? does the theme of it match and the black road is not supposed to go off the platform
and is it a city? it should be bigger <even oreburg is bigger>

btw very nice demo :D
same as JV what happened to the pokemon xD

Thanks!
But, that's strange..!?
It never happened to me when I was playing it!
Anyone, knows how to fix this?
I really don't know what's happening

As I said I really don't know what's happening

Ah, I think I know. I forgot to adapt the pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies script to work with encrypted archives. To fix it, replace the pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies in PokemonUtilities with this:

 def pbLoadPokemonBitmapSpecies(pokemon, species, back=false)
  if pokemon.egg?
   return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(
     sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/egg.png"))
  end
  ending=""
  ending+="f" if pokemon.gender==1 && pbRgssExists?(sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03df%s.png",species,back ? "b" : ""))
  ending+="s" if pokemon.isShiny?
  ending+="b" if back
  bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s.png",species,ending)
  if !pbRgssExists?(bitmapFileName)
   bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/000%s.png",ending)
  end
  if isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:SPINDA) && !back
   bitmap=Bitmap.new(bitmapFileName)
   pbSpindaSpots(pokemon,bitmap)
  return bitmap
  elsif isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:UNOWN)
   d=pokemon.personalID&3
   d|=((pokemon.personalID>>8)&3)<<2
   d|=((pokemon.personalID>>16)&3)<<4
   d|=((pokemon.personalID>>24)&3)<<6
   d%=28 # index of letter : ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!?
   begin
    # Load special bitmap if found
    # Example: 201b_02 for the letter C
    bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s_%02d.png",species,ending,d)
   rescue
    # Load plain bitmap as usual (see below)
   end
  elsif isConst?(pokemon.species,PBSpecies,:ARCEUS)
    bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Battlers/%03d%s_%02d.png",species,ending,pokemon.type)
  end
  return BitmapCache.load_bitmap(bitmapFileName)
 end

I forgot that the FileTest.exist? method doesn't work in encrypted archives. Luckily, poccil added an alternative (pbRgssExists?) which does. For this to work, you'll need to have updated to the newest version, though.

Your charsets are huge man, you should use my resized D/P charsets, PM me if your interested.

 

[Crosell]

Maybe something that explains how to play it would help.
haven't played any games for so long, forgot how RpgXp works.
So if somebody can explain hehe :p
Btw I really like this.
Buying pokes in a mart haha, funny :)
Good luck!

Edit: Nevermind about what I asked, it's working already.
I have seen some weird stuff though.
Flaro City have a bunaery and a chansey pre evo blocking your way.
Talk to one of them they jump up, and you can walk right underneath them.

Also the boat, the man on the left tells you, there not sailing, and suddenly I walk in the boat, and end up at a pokecenter.
Maybe these things are not known yet, maybe they are, just sharing :)

I like the game, it has a fun story, so good luck with everything!

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Hey! Grat demo!
Just fix the bug that every Pokemon I see including mine is a question-mark.

And why didn't you insert your OW sprites and my sprite?
And what's THIS:

Why didn't you use my sprite? You didn't like it?

 

[Wichu]

Crosell: I believe it's arrow keys to move, C to select, X to cancel and bring up the menu, and Z to run.

OK thanks for your help wichu, I'll try it later!

I will! (also later I'm kinda bussy now:P)

It has an explaination :|
mm the bunaery and happiny thing is new for me, will be fixed though!
Yeah knew about the boat already, it was for me to test if the event would work that way and I forgot to take it away :embarrass

And what's THIS:

I do like it and I'm sooooo sorry I forgot to edit that :embarrass
I already changed that so they'll be in the next demo!
And I hope you can make some more sprites for me when I have more new OW ready :)
PS: Can I add you to the team?

Crosell: I believe it's arrow keys to move, C to select, X to cancel and bring up the menu, and Z to run.

Yeah that's true!
