Pokemon StarterKit XP

[majorgames]

almost forgot...when the battle system is implimented will triple battles be implimented aswell

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Yeah, i'm going to make it as close to B/W as i can :D

 

[zingzags]

This is a big question i had does Neo7 engine has the anti aliasing, as the pokemon games on the DS?

# Features:
# - Event AntiLag: Event (and their Sprites) which are not on the screen are
# not updated except they run on "Autostart" or "Parallel Process" or they
# have an empty comment in the first line
# - High Priority: Game can be run on high priority
# - Smooth Antilag: the Event AntiLag does only work fine if the events are
# distributed over the whole map, but when there are many events at the same
# place it lags again. If the script notices that the CPU utilization
# gets higher than $antilag.max_cpu_utilization it will slow down the game and
# reduce the framerate as long as needed.

this is what i found on the net it says anti- lag for NM7 hope it helps

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Right now there is no lag, but thanks, i'll add it in :)
Also, regarding Anti-Aliasing, i have no idea on that one, sorry.

Here's an update you may like:

Spoiler:

Fully functioning internet based Mystery Gift System :D

Um one big question is, will being able to do badges and call pokemon battles be the same or similar to poccils or use his editor.exe or you going to create your own? One other question is, will you also have a mapgen.html like what poccil set up.

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Well i'm using the same graphics structure as Poccil so that people can move all their stuff over if they wanted, like Battlers, Cries etc.

I'm pretty sure that the battle call will be different, and badges will be different yes.

Actually, that's a good thing.

I always thought badges should be controlled by switches, not variables. and Poccils is just a number. That's dumb because it required the player to get badges in a specific order (Consider how it's possible to get the Marsg Badge and Volcano badge in either order, that would mess with the variable in ways it should'nt.)

Will it be easy to edit things such as stat calculation? In my Pokemon Essentials project, I removed IV's and did a few changes like that, would it be easy to reproduce in this kit?

Also I take it all the 5th gen Pokemon/moves will be in the kit? I like the sound of that.

This is a great thing, most people have that problem with calling scripts and they dont know where they have gone wrong, maybe they can get a fresh new start and possibly something that its easier to code in a 1 2 3 process

Yeah, it'll be switch based :)

Yeah, it uses the default RMXP stat calculation system, so you can set the stat at level 1 and 99 and it'll create a curve for you, or you can set a curve with your mouse.

Also I take it all the 5th gen Pokemon/moves will be in the kit? I like the sound of that.

Yup, as soon as i can get all the info they will be.
I have all the graphics etc, i just need movesets and stuff, so if anyone can help with that it'd be great :)

 

[Minorthreat0987]

Just curious, you said it uses the default RMXP stat calculation, does that mean that the battle system will not calculate stats and damage like the pokemon battle system, it will just look like it? or are you editing the functions so that the default RMXP stat calculations function like the real pokemon games?

 

[IceGod64]

I have all the graphics etc, i just need movesets and stuff, so if anyone can help with that it'd be great :)

I missed something in the thread before... I missed your Neo Mode 07 Example. Those are sprites, right?

Using mode 07, is it possible to make an actuall layered cliff look? like the DS games?

So, with the stats being set up using RPGMXP's default info, will the EV's/IV's system exist in the engine or is that gone?

Are the moves defined separately in the engine like Pokemon essentials, or are they also build into the projects database?

Finally, what do you mean help with movesets? I'm wondering if I might be able to assist.

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Not sure about the layered cliff, i'm not too sure about what you're referring to, maybe a screenie?

Nah, i'll add IV's and EV's in there in scripts, but allow them to be turned off.
Moves will be in the project database, as will animations.

As for the movesets, i just need movelists for each pokemon really.

 

[IceGod64]

Bulbapedia has that all recorded... Although what all the moves do doesn't seem to be listed.

This is what I meant by "Layered cliffs".

 

[Poeman]

He means a Z value to map with.

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

It may be possible, i haven't tried myself.

Just finished making something that i think is a great feature.
Instead of having to download a whole project file to upgrade to the next version, i made an update utility which offers the following options:

- Check for updated version.
- Revert Script Customizations

Screenshot:

Spoiler:

Comments?

 

[IceGod64]

Looks great to me!
I like that. A nice update application.

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Thanks :D
Took a little while but i have it working.
I've now added the Revert Script Customizations option, and added some music, so it's all done now ^____^

Later on, i'll make it so it not only downloads the script file, but extra graphics needed too.

 

[IceGod64]

Can I make a suggestion regarding the Battle System?

You mentioned earlier that you weren''t going to get started on the battle system until you got all of the Pokemon imported.

Would it perhaps be more efficient to get just a certain number of Pokemon ready (Example, the first 151) and start on the battle system with just them and then expand on it later? I mean, do whatever you feel works best, but I'm just thinking it'd be easier to manage if you start with a lower number anyway.

Also, I don't believe I've seen this question factually answered so I'll ask: Can the second screen be disabled?

 

[Crazyninjaguy]

Nah, you got a bit muddled there, i may have put it wrong.
Once i have the system for adding/editing pokemon in place, i'll then have the methods i need for the battle system.

It's like an insanely hard jigsaw lol, all the pieces fit together eventually, but you have to do the edges first.

 

[help-14]

Bulbapedia has that all recorded... Although what all the moves do doesn't seem to be listed.

This is what I meant by "Layered cliffs".

Maybe i can help with this, yesterday i made a zoom character script, you can use it to zoom player, event so it'll look like walk on cliffs
