Pokemon Solar And Lunar Editions, Rm2k

[DarkMage31]

Arg, it's been ages since I last updated, but rest assured knowing things are still happening on my end :)

I've been adding on to storyline events in the actual game, and I've been doing TONS of debugging. TONS!!! Whoa, so many bugs to fix.

Also, I'm almost done with the 3D CBS.

You say, "We want screenshots!"

I say, "NEVER!"

But.... I will attatch a zip containing a video! Yay! Enjoy the video of the cool 3Dness!

ROCKED!



You thought I'd say it sucked, didn't you?

It was good; although the thing should be a tad faster

Eh, hard to tell the quality from a video. The video itself was blurry and I'm sure it stunted the motion a bit. I really can't give my oppinion. I'll just wait until I play it in the game to test it out. I'm sure it would be much better in game than some video.

 

[DarkMage31]

Sorry I attatched it twice. You only need to download it once.

Glad you liked it, even with the aweful video quality. It was a little choppy too, it's smoother in real life.

I can't watch it with my players. Which one did you use?

 

[DarkMage31]

Windows Media Player 9. You have to get the WMP9 codec too;

I think this is the right one:
https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8/a/98a6cb2d-6659-485e-b1f9-2c0d9bf6c328/wmv9VCMsetup.exe

It is crap quality(Video) but I'm sure it'll look awesome when I play it in the game!

It's working now, thanks for the help!
ANd I agree with the others on the video, it was low quality on it.
But I'm sure it will look awsome in the game! ;)

:) Hey DM just wondering how far you are on your game(havnt been here in a while sorry) :dead:

 

[DarkMage31]

Sorry about the video quality. If I have time later (probably this weekend) I'll make a higher quality one.

With lunar, I'm redoing the CBS, I've added a bunch more story, and that's pretty much it. Oh, and I'm making original screens for Items/Trainer Card/Etc, and a custom message system which looks really cool :)

Nice sig, Halo 2's going to be awesome. Too bad I don't have an xbox and my PC is too bad.

 

[DMMP]

Hey, DM, what are you using to make the movies?

sounds good, cant wait until you finish lunar!

lol thanks.

 

[DarkMage31]

To make the movies I use a program called "Easy Video Capture." I then scaled it down and compressed it. So the quality isn't good. Hopefully tomorrow I'll make a better one.

 

[Sorye HK]

Can you give us a progress report of Lunar Darkmage?
I'm wondering how much's been done.

 

[DarkMage31]

Well... I think I have all of "Rhem-tokay" or whatever the heck I decided to call the new region all mapped out. It's small, only with maybe 5 towns. But you'll be able to visit Kanto and Jhoto. Those I haven't begun mapping yet.

I've worked a little on the story and I've been implimenting it a lot more. My goal is to have many decisions where the user choses, which will influence how the game plays out. I've already made one of these such crossroads

The 3D CBS effect is almost done. After the team project CBS is complete, I'll put it into Lunar. But until then I'm not touching the CBS I made ages ago.

The CMS is functioning well. Remember all those "original screens" I posted for the bag and trainer card etc? I haven't implimented those yet but the screens themselves are complete. The pkdex mechanics are done, but I just have to get around to adding all those pictures! More and more of the features I have with the simple "Show Choice" command are being redone with pictures.

Remember the original message system? It's 95% integrated with all of the messages throughout the game

So basically, many of the mechanics are done. Most of what I have left is:
CBS
Pokedex
Item screen
Trainer card
Pokemon screen

 

[White_Light]

Wow kool I love pokemon games! How did you make it 3D?

 

[DarkMage31]

Lots and lots of drawing and redrawing :P

I just came up with a great idea for the background for the CBS and how that can add to the 3D effect. I'm a little backlogged with Homework, PMs, and website maintenence, but hopefully I'll get the time to do something in my 3D modeling program :)

 

[DMMP]

Does anyone know some software which you can use to make videos with?

 

[DarkMage31]

Easy Video Capture is what I used :)

UPDATE:
I fixed a lot of major bugs with the water reflection system, so no it's up and running fine. I think I fixed all the bugs with the storyline too.

I downloaded pokemon Lunar and it lagged my computer like HELL :'(
Sometimes when I could get through to the title screen (Press start bit it would'nt continue :'()
