Title: PokAImon: Previews and Discussion
Post by: cephalopod on September 28, 2011, 05:47:28 PM

May I introduce, PokAImon.

PokAImon is a future mod I envision working on.
It will eventually combine new bots, new UI, new music and new arenas.

Version 1 will be very basic - probably only the bots from Pokemon: The League of Getehem, and the tournament arena.
However, from there, I would like to expand. People can send me in 3-bot teams or update their team (the 3-bot PKMN:GTM entries will be added as a user team in Version 1) and could potentially use cheatbot2 components and/or custom components, hopefully balanced to DSL standards. Also, I hope to replace some in-game music and UI.


Yes, I realise this may become quite a task, and this means I will take a break from tournament running after PKMN:GTM and RIP3 (Yes, already in the pipeline) to work on this and RIPAI updates.

Any thoughts? Ideas? Really, I just created this thread to let you know my future endeavors, and hopefully create a bit more buzz for PKMN:GTM, which I think is going to be amazing. :D

UPDATE 1: Music Previews

UPDATE 2: Logo

Well hey there. A music preview for you. Any notes on things to be changed? This is almost like open-beta testing the music (':
If I keep it running at this rate, PokAImon will be ready to download very soon after PKMN:GTM finishes! :D

Only One Request: Add Vendanturf Town to either the Bot Building or the Team Menu.

I'd think you should add a Black and White song for the arenas

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58305status bar.jpg)

My take on a more Poke-themed status bar (the work so far.)
Since the robot name is white, and I don't know how to change it, I reversed all the colours of an ordinary battle screen to get the HP sign/exp bar from Pokemon Green/Red/Blue and rounded off the corners. Any more ideas or help? I'm tempted to change the control board in the middle for a pokeball (green/yellow/red)

GIB files hold text colours..

Backup, Dive in and have some fun experimenting..  :gawe:

I gather the 'forecolor' is text color, so if white is 1 1 1 1, what the heck is black? XD sorry :P


Also, the control board image in the middle of the status bar, what image is this? I can't find it D:

You need to find the text's actual section of the gib first.. then edit the colour..

IIRC Black is 0 0 0 1

Thanks, I put in 0 0 0 0 thinking that'd work and it just went invisible :3

Just gonna re-open this thread. With Pokemon:GTM finally speeding along, the time will come for this pack soon - however, I've realised the amount of bots in the tournament doesn't make much of an AI pack!
Therefore, I'd like to put a call out for any Pokemon trainers to send me your (preferably trained well/AIed) Pokemon to put in the pack!
Doesn't have to be a whole team, just 1 or 2 is good.
Drop me a message if you need a hand with anything :)

Can you make a list of what pokemon you already have? I have some ideas but I don't want to do it unless I know that it isn't taken.
Title: Re: PokAImon: Previews and Discussion
Post by: cephalopod on May 13, 2012, 03:58:11 PM
It's only the ones in the tournament, plus my Dugtrio, so...
Aerodactyl, Bastiodon, Clamperl, Crustle, Cryogonal, Diglett, Dugtrio, Excadrill, Garbodor, Kabuto, Klink, Magikarp, Metagross, Sandslash, Sharpedo, Skorupi and Tauros.

Also - UI wise, I've changed the music and title sequence, would people want any more than that or is the DSL UI okay with everyone? :L
Finally, components that I've been sent for Pokemon - would people mind these being unhidden, or should I learn how to hide them all?

I want the original Mt. Moon music in there :P

Also I wanna make Zubat and will soon. Are FB's mini hovermotors allowed or not?
Title: Re: PokAImon: Previews and Discussion
Post by: cephalopod on May 13, 2012, 05:42:54 PM
I would like it if people only used the 123 hovers, just because of the whole messed up damage thing.
Title: Re: PokAImon: Previews and Discussion
Post by: Badnik96 on May 13, 2012, 05:43:59 PM
oh yeah I meant the mini hover engines, forgot who made them. Thanks.

I'm thinking of reverting all the teams back to 3-bot teams, and only having the necessary 15, so there isn't so many empty spaces. If I do this, I have just over a third of the bots that would fill it.
It doesn't need to be full but it'd be completely awesome if we managed it :D
