Man.
If you can change THIS > -True Pokemon-like turn based system <
It would be awesome.Thanks.

 

[ThisPOT]

Pokemon is always turn based lol... At least try it once before complaining!...

Pokemon is always turn based lol... At least try it once before complaining!...

You are right.
I did try it.
I am not saying that it's not good, it is just that it will affect only turn-based games fans. ( Or maybe not only)
Anyway , when ever i can i would like ( and when im actually avaiable cause im in mid exams) to test, but i don't think that i will play a turn-based game.

Btw your pokemon map look like having some good systems.....But it's out of my standars.

 

[bhusta]

good luck with this project!
90% of pokemon projects are dommed from the beginning.

 

[ThisPOT]

That's ok, I am not trying to please everyone, but I think turn-based game lovers will like this game as it's very tactical and accurate.

I would appreciate any testing and if any bugs are found it would be nice to report them.

Dont forget -save to save so you don't need to restart every time ;p (unless you want to).

In turn-based category.

 

[DESTROYER123]

You could make the pokeporn battles more......virtual.
For example when a pokeporn casts scratch, he moves from his position, scratches the enemy's pokeporn and then returns back to his poition.

 

[ThisPOT]

Yes that is something i plan to do for all physical abilities.

All abilities special effects need to be redone.

 

[ZeroSayn]

that looks amazing. any way this is going to be multiplayer, like several trainers beginning in pallet town and having a tournament after an hour?

 

[ThisPOT]

Tanks!, I was thinking of making the storyline single player, and you can export your save code to a Stadium multiplayer game for duels and trades

But I am in dire need of a terrain maker before all.

 

[JesusHipster]

NPC models and terrain spoil the whole thing to me

 

[ThisPOT]

NPC models and terrain spoil the whole thing to me

Agreed 100%, I need to get all the models, but that will come after as there are more available modelers than terrainers. But if you have models that you have in mind it would be great if you could link them.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Good luck with the project. If I can suggest, the only problem is that it looks 'just another nooby map'. I mean, the terrain can't be more basic than that as you're using the most used tilesets and doodads.

 

[ThisPOT]

Lol I know, the problem is I am really bad at terraining (I don't even know where to start).

That's why I really need someone to terrain this, so that it can be something more than a fancy turn based system.

 

[Aradar]

This is pretty cool actually I cannot wait to see how this unfolds.

 

[neo_sluf]

So about your problem...me i am also a noob terrainer...so i read tutorials.....try new things........search for some legendary terrains.....get some tips.......then i reach the level of a good terrainer.. what i mean is...

Learn to terrain by yourself...just ask some suggestions......its better to teach yourself and you will be an advance terrainer someday..

 

[ThisPOT]

@ neo_sluf: I appreciate your concern, but I would really hope to find a good terraining partner, he doesn't need to be amazing, I am sure there is a terrainer Pokemon fan out there somewhere !...

Also, I help people a lot with triggers so hopefully someone will help me back with terraining someday.

 

[neo_sluf]

So ok....before someone do your terrain....you must first find some Anime TerrainArt...so probably you can create your Map Template for your map...and you can suggest to help in adding doodads....also you can send me the unprotected version of your map and i will see what i can do with the terrain...

but i just clarrify......i just improve your terrain right?.....but not change just some beautification?...you can send me the map right now so i can see what i can do..

 

[Wazzz]

Out of curiosity, what's the attraction in playing this map as opposed to playing the original Pokemon games? What is the premise?

 

[ThisPOT]

@ Wazzz:

1. as stated a few times before, It will have a Multiplayer Stadium version where you can duel/trade.

2. The difficulty will be raised greatly

3. Some game mechanics are different (you can have more than 1 buff at once)

4. You get to play with the WC community!

5. There will be way more areas to visit than the Pokemon games, since you can't take your team across the world. This journey may begin in Kanto but who knows where it will go!

I reviewed your map twise, if you want another review, feel free to ask it.

Even tho there is a small path to walk at, I can tell from now this game has much in it The Game is HIGHLY RECOMMANDED and to all those who didn't try it yet: you should try it since you are missing out a GREAT ADVANTURE
Don't stop please, I will be there to give 4/5 when the official map comes out (the last +1 if you can amaze me for a second time).

 

[Almia]

The best pokemon map that i saw

 

[tmmpiratatmm]

Have you ever played the korean pokemon ORPG? It's awesome! The only problem is that ehh its korean lang.
You should do a map similar to the pokemon orpg, where all the players start and can save and load(no singleplayer, multiplayer only) and can battle each others on arena whenever they want. Put gyms, everything and so on.. I am sure it would make a great success on the bnet, i would play a lot if it is well done. Note that i'm not saying to copy pokemon orpg, but make a game on the same style, but with your own original stuff, so the western crowd of warcraft would have a pokemon rpg as nice as the eastern one.

playing with unknown language on bnet.
Yes.
Not gonna happen.

lol i was just asking because the guy could use the game as a model
imo campaign single player sucks, i'd rather play the gba games on emulator
the point on being a w3 map would be the multiplayer thing, being able to play with many friends together.
i just gave it a try to the map posted, its really nice and it seems to have the same models that pokemon ORPG has(for both pokemons, trainers and buildings) so i think the creator already played the pokemon korean orpg
hope he changes his mind and do a game like it, with multiplayer campaign and so on..

I couldnt figure how to use the save, i say -save, the game says it saved and then what? on the next host i have the same pokemons?

 

[Noxx-]

Well, if you're still looking for a terrainer, I could give it a go. I'm decent, I suppose.


After some testing (love the game so far by the way), I've found some things that require tweaking;
-The unit sizes are ridiculous on the people. Needs to be reduced a tad.
-The Nidorans should labeled as NidoranF and NidoranM, they're both just Nidoran.
-When your pokemon faints, it automatically switches to the next in line.
-When you hit a move after you win a battle, that move is queued up and as soon you enter another battle you and your opponent make their moves.
-Super Effective damage is doing WAY over what it should for Special moves. For example, My Squirtle has 18 Sp. Atk, and Bubble is 20% of that, which is 3.6. I use bubble on Sandshrew, and it deals 14 damage. Why? Well, super effective damage is doing double what it should (7.2 x 2 = 14.4, rounded down is 14), PLUS it isn't factoring in special defense.
-Trainers that you battle disappear, regardless of whether or not you beat them. However, they come right back upon reloading. I recommend keeping the last part because of how useful it could be for grinding.
-The experience and level up messages are delayed and show up after the battle ends, when you've already seen that this has happened, making them a little redundant. Maybe have them show up when it happens?
-Remove the 3 base health all Pokemon have, and add 3 base vitality. It needs to be changed as such because the Vitality status bar doesn't count base health, and misses out on that 3 HP.
-Leer's effect is double that of what it was in the games. Intentional?
-You don't get any gold from Trainer battles.
-Natures; unless you look it up and play with a chart open of Natures, It'd be very helpful if you put a + by the nature-boosted stat and a - by the stat hindered by the nature.
-You can't really talk to anyone yet, except for Prof Oak in the cutscene...
-Stat boosts linger when you switch pokemon.
-Items that you find on the ground can just be taken over and over when you save and reload, meaning from the pokeball you find on the ground, you don't have to buy a single pokeball ever. I don't think it's possible to fix this, so you'll either have to roll with it and design around it, or remove ground items and rather, have NPCs alone give hand-outs.

I do realize it needs a lot of work, and I'd be happy to terrain for you if possible. And if you choose a different terrainer, I'd love to beta test for you. Or perhaps both!

 

[BlackEnvyX]

I'm also a terrainer, what style are you looking for? Do you want it to adhere strictly to the Pokemon lore or do you want it to have a stylistic flair depending on the area being terrained.

 

[iChaos]

seems nice! (currently testing this w/ opti)

 

[Noxx-]

I think OP would appreciate it if you posted bugs, suggestions, etc.



EDIT: OK, so since OP hasn't responded yet, I got bored and decided to do Oak's Lab. What do you think?

[Noxx-]

Its looking awesome but I think that when he said "terrainair" he mean a person who modeling a new terrain then import it, or did I get it wrong?

Uh, no. He meant someone to actually terrain the whole map as such. Have you seen the current map? It's pretty bare-bones, if you catch my drift.

 

[best_player_88]

Uh, no. He meant someone to actually terrain the whole map as such. Have you seen the current map? It's pretty bare-bones, if you catch my drift.

well, yea.
I am a beta tester who was requested to test the map 2 months ago. I havent heared from the map maker ever since, is he even reading what we write?

 

[Noxx-]

Well, we might as well hope he comes back. He was answering questions just a few days ago! BTW, uploading another picture in a minute.

EDIT: Here it is, the Pokecenter's inside. A little basic, but I'll probably add on to it soon. I do hope OP is coming back. Also, next post determines what I make next.

[Almia]

Uhmmm

Please hide the photos.
My page stretches

 

[tmmpiratatmm]

Please make the map multiplayer, not only another map with multiplayer..
i mean, the whole campaign being multiplayer, like any other rpg.. playing the campaign in single is REALLY boring for any game and i'm sure your project would be a great success at bnet if it's a multiplayer RPG

 

[Almia]

I suggest that use the Pokemon Structures of Pokemon Emeral Above.
They are much better looking than the earlier versions

 

[Noxx-]

Uhmmm

Please hide the photos.
My page stretches

Whenever I try to use hide tags, the photos disappear entirely. Wat do?
EDIT: I just finished another thing, but I'm gonna wait until OP shows up to dump it.

 

[Almia]

LikeThis?

 

[best_player_88]

Yes, and if possible, do that to the massages before too, and I will try to do it also
AND KEEP IN MIND: THE MAP MAKER HAS YET TO RESPOND FOR 3 MONTHS

 

[Noxx-]

Well, that's not true. It's been a month and 15 days. He posted last in this thread on 2-20-13. Also, thanks Almia, I'll fix the photos.

 

[Noxx-]

...Officially dead thread? Man, I'm disappointed. I hope he comes back, though odds are slim..

 

[Almia]

Man. If you just use the Pokemon BW or just Pokemon RSW, this would be nice. Pokemon RGB terrain sucks.

 

[Napoqe]

Cool map. But you forget that when you win level he must retrieve all life.

 

[best_player_88]

The map maker disappeared from this site, a pity.
I suggest map maker who have yet created a project to start a new project in order to create Pokemon game that will rival this one, since this one has not updated for too long and probably won't.

 

[ThisPOT]

Hi everyone,

First of all I would like to say that I am sorry that I wasn't able to get on more often, to be brief, I was recovering from cancer...

I am now much better and have started working on my maps again

Thank you all for working on the terrain, it looks beautiful, I would very much appreciate it if we could work together to finish this project!!!

I will be checking my messages daily from now on so please come forward if you are still open to work with me on this ...


-------------------------



Also, I was thinking of scratching this project and doing the multiplayer version instead, with help it could be done fast and I can make all the triggers if someone can terrain.

 

[DESTROYER123]

This map goes nice!!!!
Just 1 thing.
Somewhere in features I saw Random Generated Battle Maps or smthng like that.
I don't think that when you fight with a pokeporn you get a random "battlefield"??
Because if u fight on land and the battlefield is at sea then

 

[ThisPOT]

That's not exactly how it works hehe, it just places a new ground and new trees every time, in a semi-random way (it chooses the ground you are standing on when you get in battle, and picks trees from around that location).

So that it gives a better feel than just grinding the exact same spot every time .

Here is an unprotected version since it seems some people are having issues with the protected one.


----

Thanks so much for this constructive criticism!

I will go through each of those:

-The unit sizes are ridiculous on the people. Needs to be reduced a tad.

Done.

-The Nidorans should labeled as NidoranF and NidoranM, they're both just Nidoran.

Done.

-When your pokemon faints, it automatically switches to the next in line.

Fixed.

-When you hit a move after you win a battle, that move is queued up and as soon you enter another battle you and your opponent make their moves.

Fixed.

-Super Effective damage is doing WAY over what it should for Special moves. For example, My Squirtle has 18 Sp. Atk, and Bubble is 20% of that, which is 3.6. I use bubble on Sandshrew, and it deals 14 damage. Why? Well, super effective damage is doing double what it should (7.2 x 2 = 14.4, rounded down is 14), PLUS it isn't factoring in special defense.

Are you also counting the 50% STAB bonus?
I will double check anyways.

-Trainers that you battle disappear, regardless of whether or not you beat them. However, they come right back upon reloading. I recommend keeping the last part because of how useful it could be for grinding.

I was unsure about what I wanted to do here, if you may fight them again and again or if they just dissapear forever.

-The experience and level up messages are delayed and show up after the battle ends, when you've already seen that this has happened, making them a little redundant. Maybe have them show up when it happens?

I added that so that you could see how the exp was distributed amongst your Pokemon, since if you have 2 Pokemon battle an opponent they will share the experience.

-Remove the 3 base health all Pokemon have, and add 3 base vitality. It needs to be changed as such because the Vitality status bar doesn't count base health, and misses out on that 3 HP.

Fixed.

-Leer's effect is double that of what it was in the games. Intentional?

Fixed.

-You don't get any gold from Trainer battles.

Fixed.

-Natures; unless you look it up and play with a chart open of Natures, It'd be very helpful if you put a + by the nature-boosted stat and a - by the stat hindered by the nature.

Done.

-You can't really talk to anyone yet, except for Prof Oak in the cutscene...

I haven't worked much on the AI interactions yet.

-Stat boosts linger when you switch pokemon.

I have decided, to increase difficulty, that buffs will not be removed until the battle is ended.

-Items that you find on the ground can just be taken over and over when you save and reload, meaning from the pokeball you find on the ground, you don't have to buy a single pokeball ever. I don't think it's possible to fix this, so you'll either have to roll with it and design around it, or remove ground items and rather, have NPCs alone give hand-outs.

That can be fixed, I just create the item at start (or not) via trigger: if "itemfromthismap#1 was taken = false" or whatever in the saved hashtable.

I do realize it needs a lot of work, and I'd be happy to terrain for you if possible. And if you choose a different terrainer, I'd love to beta test for you. Or perhaps both!

I would love your help, you seem very detail oriented and thorough.

tmmpiratatmm I was thinking of doing that (I haven't played the korean version though). All those models were given to me by fellow Pokemon fans who found them online .

 

[Stare Cat]

Hey, are you still recruiting for a terrainer? I could add a little shazam to those buildings..

The first thing I'll add is a sushi bar! Then I'll buy it, own it by myself, and eat all the fishes!

*gasp*! You evil, evil cat!
