@Yanfly @DreamX @SumRndmDde could you help me setting plugins compatibility I'm having trouble with Yanfly Core(s) plugins compatibility with my existing plugins, which gives me a Black screen error

[Bricius]

So this is your other project. Heres to hoping you and Idd get to colab and finish it.

 

[dbchest]

i am creating my own pokemon plugin pack (link in my sig); a little competition never hurt anyone.

 

[Rishi Raj Jain]

@dbchest I think cooperation is always better than competition (specially for free projects)

@Bricius Can you suggest someone good at making/editing plugins and also willing to help, because my Project is almost completed but the Plugins I'm using aren't compatible with each other. I've Already tried contacting the Plugin owners but I haven't got any reply.

 

[AxelNinjaGamer]

I've made some models for an idea I once had and have some gym puzzles ideas if you're interested.

On another RPG Maker MV Forum, a user by the name of Shiggy seems to be able to do pretty well. He helped create a quick plugin for me a while back, otherwise I dont know many people yet that work with this.
http://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/40492-lose-when-one-actor-remains/
That link is the forum post and site where he can be found.

 

[Rishi Raj Jain]

@AxelNinjaGamer Of course, why not?
But only if you know how implemented those in the Project because I'm already Struggling with the current Plugins and Game Module.
And I'm not willing to Fuse my Mind in new things, at least not now?

Hope you understand

 

[BlueMoon]

Wow! This is an amazing project!
Some months ago, I was creating a project inspired to the pokemon games of the second generation. At the time, I had created some of the main scenes (Menu, Inventory, pokemon scene, title screen,save screen etc..) and I left the project when I was developing the pokemon main object and classes, because I'm really busy.
For the developing, I used a lot the pokemon api that contains all the information related to the pokemon games as JSON packages. This make the development very easy, because using xmlhttprequest you can catch all the information and use them in your project.

 

[Rishi Raj Jain]

@Gamefall Team Glad that you are willing to help, please edit your post adding the link.
Hope we will colab and complete the Project together
I have a to-do list. You can pm me, if interested

 

[Bricius]

@Rishi Raj Jain Perhaps this may have been suggested already, but could you do a todo list or percentage done on this thread so we have an idea as to the progress being made? Maybe some ideas that you know youll need help at so community members can keep an eye out while you work?

Greetings,

People who are Interested in the idea of creating a Pokemon Essentials for MV can check the spoilers for Team Requirements:

1. Scripter/Programmer (JavaScript coding, Making/Editing Plugins required for Game Project)
2. Artist (GameArt: Sprites, Moves and Tilesets) ...​

This is a very interesting & well thought out game.

A few comments:

1. You are going to need at least one more, and probably two more programmers on your team.
2. You have a really great vision ... and will need an equally great team to execute it.
   
3. I do not believe you should name it "Pokemon", they have probably trademarked that name ...

Best wishes,

Joy Diamond

P.S.: The Poll asks if this is going to be open source. I hope it is!

Edit History:

2017-11-16 7:45pm UTC: Fixed the actual trying to post, since accidentally hit post too early originally ​

 

[Rishi Raj Jain]

@Bricius I will make a To-do list, don't worry. Actually the work is going pretty slow at the moment. As I'm the One Man Team.

@Joy Diamond but I don't have any Programer yet. Is there anyone you know and willing to work on a free project. And to answer your second suggestion, I actually adopted the Idea of Naming it Pokemon Essentials MV from Pokemon Essentials XP.
Nintendo, Game Freak haven't sued them so I thought it would work.

Sorry I'm new here (less than a week) so I barely know anyone

 

[Bricius]

@Rishi Raj Jain I know enough about JavaScript as well as the general scripting of MV to know what code can and cannot exist, so in that sense I can be the technical artist (though I have very little to no actual writing experience in java). As for the sprites, I did a while ago use some sprites I found that seemed to be gen 4/5 based with their overworld sprites. https://veekun.com/dex/downloads <--That website has sprites for gens 1-5, even items, footprints, and a few other goodies drastically cutting down the ones left to be made (from what I can see, they are directly from the games themselves to boot like the essentials for XP). To my knowledge, their overworld sprites also come with multiple photos/captures so they can be animated easy enough in MV.

 

[dbchest]

@Bricius give me an example of code that cannot exist in JavaScript. i was confused when i read that portion of your previous post.

 

[Rishi Raj Jain]

So, @Bricius is now our Technical Artist
Apart from that I have all the Sprites needed till Gen 7 including Alt. Forms, Primal Form, Mega, Alola Forms
I'm just Lacking at Gif Shiny backsprites of Gen 7

 

[Bricius]

@Bricius give me an example of code that cannot exist in JavaScript. i was confused when i read that portion of your previous post.

Without getting into some long post that I really cant actually do (because as I said, I have little no writing experience) I have tried for myself in the past to get Java to work with servers, and it just falls flat unless the server also had a script to allow it to work as well. It can read things from a server in plain text, but it cant write, translate, do commands, or other things without a reactive component on the server side. So this MV thing could be done to include IP-Direct Connect for trades and battles and things, but you couldnt easily do a large multi-player server setup.

In short, let me rephrase. I know what hooks/events do and do not exist between the program and java and what would work decent-well enough for getting an artist's idea to program, but I couldnt do this myself. Thankfully, Java is still very versatile.

perfect! i understand where you are coming from now, but that is unfortunate to hear. i am creating a versatile pokemon plugin package myself and trading was something i had not been able to theorize an immediate solution for. admittedly, i have not done any research into that feature, but the post you made earlier helps me to size up some of the difficulties i am sure to face.

Because of the nature of MV, the best solution is to provide a direct IP connect for your game to search. If that game is found to be running on the IP (without interference from pesky firewalls and the usual stuff from direct connections), then you can start up a trade room or action or menu or something for them to pick from, and its final part for say trading is writing down what happened on one side (say the host), and copying down on the other. You may be able to get away with file transfer, but that might be a bit bigger then just simple copy/paste data commands. Youll also need a side script to this to make sure it performs the actions because I think the way MV is setup, itll just read it, not complete it.
