Autumn Rain Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Because many guides I found are either missing or outdated and certain categories and script lines can't be found.Like, where is "PokemonUtilities" in v16.2? It's probably moved, deleted, renamed or something.Anywho, I'm a beginner trying to familiarize RPG Maker XP and Essentials.Although my tactics are simply "copy and paste" scripts, search guides and whatnot, my experience is... not much. Perhaps these questions may help other people too.Questions (mainly for quality and convenience):1) Is there a script that I can copy & paste to replace the classic "letter by letter" name input box with "type only" name input box?2) Following the above question, how can I increase the "character name limit" (pokemon, trainer & name rater's rename)?3) How do you replace the game's default "orange sun icon" without hacking?4) Is there such script for creating "semi transparent sprites" or do I have to manually edit the sprites?5) Can the protagonist's "gender" be detected so that NPCs can use "he, she, him, her"?

Plok Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 btw pokemon utilities are under PSystem_Utilities in v16 1. go to script editor and set USEKEYBOARDTEXTENTRY = true in Settings 2. for trainer name - go to PokemonUtilities find this trname=pbEnterText("Your name?",0,7) (change 7 to change the limit) pokemon - go to Compiler in script editor and change raise _INTL("Species name {1} is greater than 10 characters long (section {2}, PBS/pokemon.txt)",value,currentmap) if value.length>10to raise _INTL("Species name {1} is greater than 20 characters long (section {2}, PBS/pokemon.txt)",value,currentmap) if value.length>20 speciesnames[currentmap]=valuealso change this in PokemonUtilities pokemon.name=nickname[0,10] if nickname && nickname!="" change 10 to limit yo uwantthen find newname=pbEnterText(helptext,0,10) again change the numberbtw you'll aslo have to change limit on name rater when you make one 3. don't know this one 4. I think you have to manually edit the sprites but I'm not sure 5. yes this is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Njab ninja'd me I'll just answer 4 for you as you can edit this in RPGMaker when creating an event. Use these options when choosing a graphic for your event and you should be good to go with making transparent sprites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Rain Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ah I see now. Though 3, I might need to hack the icon if there are no options for that part. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Rain Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 I got another question that's been concerning me for a while... This is from the Name Rater NPC, but as simple as this looks, this script is like "Hey, the lines will break or divide when you hit OK!" "You can't zoom out of this small box!" "There is no guide in essentials to help you understand what is going on." Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plok Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't really understand your question but that scripts is fine being that way and it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Rain Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 I want straight lines to be like the actual script but when the script divides the lines, I get an error message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veterans Zumi Posted October 7, 2016 Veterans Share Posted October 7, 2016 If you mean that you want to increase the amount of characters one can input for a name, make sure to have this changed in the script editor as well. Should be in Main, but there's probably another setting you have to change. Njab can probably point this out :v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plok Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 try it like this pkmn=pbGetPokemon(1) species=PBSpecies.getName( pkmn.species) pbTextEntry("#{species}'s nickname?",0,12,5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Rain Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 That surprisingly works. All I needed to do was to move the "(". Wow thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plok Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 yeah sorry I didn't see that error while checking the script for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
