Pokemon Neon Online

[jcsnider]

About the Game

This is the re-development of Pokemon Neon. This is a Pokemon Game using the Pokemon Essentials starter kit. Along with this, it will feature RMX-OS (RPG Maker Xp Online System)

Features

• Fully Functional Pokemon System (Battles/Evolutions/Pokedex/and more)


• Fully Functional Online System (Chatting/Battling/Trading/and more!)


• MySql Saving (Saves to the server, not client, so data is secure.. and everywhere you go!)


• Need I say more? (I will update this list as I think of more exact features

General Info

In the finished version, the game will require alot of travel between 2 or more seperate regions (2 or more generations of pokemon) to follow along the story, with more pokemon to capture and such, it also provides a better game play experience and more game time.  You a pokemon trainer will be able to capture over 300 pokemon (most likely more (as in all 493)) while playing with friends.

*Bump* To inform people of the retrurn of Pokemon Neon Online *Bump*

[G_G]

What happened to the other one?

[Kagutsuchi]

Looks like the region have gotten a nice revamp ^^ My only complaint is that it looks somewhat linear.

[Blizzard]

Just so you know, Beta version means you can get from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. Everything else is a demo.

<3

[jcsnider]

@ gameguy The other version was still pretty buggy, plus it would have required alot more programming for EACH of the attacks... (alot of em)...
Also, Blizz fount the starter kit, and at the same time he was starting rmx-os so he said he would merge them for neon basically...
So I took down old neon, and now, I am working on the return of Neon.

@ Blizz - Thanks for the tip 

[G_G]

YAY Everythings better when blizz does it

I don't think there has ever been a route inside a cave before.

Just saying. :>

[fugibo]

I don't think there has ever been a route inside a cave before.

Just saying. :>

Route 69.

[Ryex]

I don't think there has ever been a route inside a cave before.

Just saying. :>

in gold and silver there was route 8 (south of the first gym) and a route that went through an ice cave

Yes, but Route 8 lead to the Ruins (I think) [You're talking about the route south of Violet City, right? O.o], which is a completely different thing, and the Ice Cave actually had a name (That is, if you're referring to Ice Path, the area between Mahogany and Blackthorn). The routes were either separate or the same, I forget. But the point is that there is no route that's solely a cave. The cave has a different name in itself.

[jcsnider]

Update!, I posted screenshots and such of this new version of Neon. I expect a open beta release Tomarrow or Sunday if lucky  .

[G_G]

Cant wait to play. I loved your other game!

[Hellfire Dragon]

Ah great, can't wait to play Last time I just joined and got to play for like 15 mins before the server crashed or something andthe next day you took it down

[Blizzard]

This time it's running on RMX-OS rather than Netplay+. <3

[jcsnider]

Yes, it is 
Anyways, i am updating the first post to add the  download link, beta 1.2 it out now!

[Hellfire Dragon]

Downloaded

You have a small error when choosing your first Pokemon, if you pick Cyndaquil, it says "You pick the grass pokemon Cyndaquil" That should be fire, right?

[jcsnider]

Damn, that was 1 of the 2 bugs I hoped no one would notice, either way, it is fixed in 1.3 which should be released shortly.

[G_G]

UPDATING TAKES FOREVER!!!!!

[jcsnider]

Yea, it is hosted on my server, I need to find a FREE host that allows unlimited bandwidth and hotlinking....

[Ryex]

Windows skydrive. you can hot link but you have to right click on the DL link on the dl page and click copy link location to get the file's hot link

[G_G]

I wish I could play, its been 2 hours and its still updating D:

EDIT: Updated to 1.2, then it said an update is required when it was done and it was 1.3 D:

EDIT 2: After waiting so long to play it I choose my character than it freezes then I get the script is hanging error
Tried logging in and it says User is already logged in

[jcsnider]

Yes, last night i added the user logger and i dont know what happend but it SCRWED everything up. Either way, it is working now I beleive.
@Ryex I will go look at SkyDrive now.

[G_G]

Anytime you lose, your opponent just keeps using attacks.

[Hellfire Dragon]

I was fighting the leader's first pokemon and got it down to around half HP, then it killed me and when I appeared back at the pokecenter place a message said I got the badge. Checked my status and it's there 0_o

So I got the badge for losing...?
It was the one in Chrome City

[G_G]

Hey quick question, will there be any legendaries to catch?
And will we be able to go back and fourth between the two regions

[C.C. rOyAl]

Oooh you know what you should do? You should make your own legendaries!!! I can help I'm really good with making pokemon sprites! You should also make a evil scientists fusion lair or something like that where you fuse pokemon together!! THAT WPOULD BE AWESOME LOL

[jcsnider]

@Game-Guy: I don't really know what you mean, it seems fine for me....
@Hellfire Dragon: One of the members at my forum posted this... I am working on it now 
@Game_guy again: There will be yes, but not yet. Also, you can already go back and fourth between regions using the ship.
@C.C. r0yAl: Nah, we are using the pokemon already made 

[G_G]

@jc: When I fought the gym leader in chrome city ~ Snubble killed me and after my only pokemon died ( i only had 1 with me ) snubble kept attacking

[jcsnider]

i will be sure to test that right away 

[Jackolas]

the city where you start. i exited it. walked around in the grass. got attacked by 3 pokemon. lvled mine. got back to the start town
CRASH (right when it was loading the start town. so in the black screen)

Script '(RMX-OS) Script'line 3636: NoMethodError occurred
undefined methiod 'character'for nil:NilClass

for the rest I like what I see so far. almost feeling like playing an original pokemon game from when I was a kid

[Blizzard]

Bug had been reported and fixed already. Happens when more than 1 person switches the map in the same frame or gets DCed.

[jcsnider]

Yea, I just released 1.4 about an hour ago, it has it fixed. It also has a option so that it saves on dissconnect and more.

[GAX]

Wont update JC

[jcsnider]

I beleive I have solved the issue.

[G_G]

Keep getting this error everytime I try to log in now


Its always worked before, and I have adminstration control off, and I dont have windows defender on, and I've already allowed the program through norton. I just happened to try and login tonight it doesnt work.

[jcsnider]

Well all that is saying is that you have been dissconnected but it seems to work fine.. I will check the server itself for any errors. 

[G_G]

@JC: I know I'm just disconnecting, but it never happened before, I can log into my new account and register accounts but that one wont let me log in.

[Blizzard]

Maybe corrupted savegame.

[Pragz]

I can't connect to your site to download the game. Is it a random server fart or did someone forget to pay the bill? D:

[Jackolas]

i think the server is down for maintains

[jcsnider]

New Updater!

Ok, here is my latest update for Pokemon Neon, a new updater!

From this time forward this new updater will take care of the load, it is more compatible with newer operating systems such as Vista and Windows 7 and no longer requires for you to run it in compatibility mode.

For some that are asking, Why do we need a new updater?   There are several reasons,
1. When I made our current updater, I didn't have a vista or windows 7 computer to test on, with that it left these new operating systems not working at all or hard to get working. Even so, with Vista compared to Xp, the code was able to run in XP 10 times quicker due to an error with the progress bar.

2. This will make updates quicker, unlike the old updater which re-downloaded the WHOLE game every update, this updater is able to pick parts in which need to be updated and only update those parts, compared to the old updater that downladed the whole game which was 45mb, on average this new one will only have to download about 5.
This idea was proposed by Ryex, so credit goes to him.

3. This removes the need for using the updater by-pass method and is, above all, just better and it is time for a change.

Here are some screenshots of the new updater...

Spoiler: ShowHide

Pokemon Neon Download:
     Windows XP and Vista: www.pkmnneon.com/Pokemon%20Neon%20Installer%20XpVista.exe
     Windows 7: www.pkmnneon.com/Pokemon%20Neon%20Installer%20Win7.exe

* NOTE FROM RYEX
Please be sure that you uninstall PNO before using the above installer
to uninstall use the uninstall file located in the install folder or use in programs and features option from the control panel in windows xp and above

Using that will fix your problems... I had thought I had posted this update here XD.

[WhiteRose]

This looks absolutely incredible. I'm going to download it and give it a try right now.

[Lore]

Wow I can't believe I did not know of this project. I was away for far too long. I'll give it a shot tomorrow after school.

[Blizzard]

This project was one of the two reasons why I made RMX-OS.

[element]

when I try to update it sais something like   Empty padname isn't legal.
I could give you screens but they are in dutch so nobody would understand it :S

[jcsnider]

kinda weird... can you give a few more details such as
Operating System
.Net Version?

[[Faint]]

An plans on actually doing all the attack animations?

[element]

Operating system is vista..
but just leave it..
My vista is shit and just won't work with some things.
Guess i'll maybe download it on another PC later.

[jcsnider]

@Faint: No not for awhile but it will be done sometime later on.

@Elementisland: The only advice I can give is for you to maybe tring running it in winxp compatibility but there shouldn't be a problem if you use the vista download link :/

[crzyone9584]

After the newest update i get script is hanging.

[jcsnider]

Some people are getting this error, please refer to this topic on our forums.
http://pkmnneon.com/index.php?topic=466.msg4636;topicseen#new

[crzyone9584]

Well thank for the heads up. I'll have to keep that in mind next time i get a jacked up copy lol

[element]

Ok i keep getting this and on my old XP it gives other errors so here a image :

Spoiler: ShowHide

Translation : there is an unhandled exception occurred in the application. If you click Continue, it ignores this error and the application goes further. if you click Exit, the application will immediately close.
empty pathname is not valid.
Details..............................Continue.........Exit

When I click on continue it keeps getting this error.

[Spoofus]

welp i went to download the stoof and it tells me link is broken :/
i was kinda curious to see how well it plays online

edit:
nevermind i went to your site for the game and it said windows 7 version and currently working that would probably explain it eh

[jcsnider]

This game should work with all windows operating systems, I will fix the link on the main site 

Also, for the past like 4 days I have been working on a program and I am finally ready to release it...
What this does is allows you to have a trainer card for your signature with updated stats on your sprite, badges, and pokemon.

Here is an example of mine...


To get your own trainer card signature just use this code in your sig.

[url=www.pkmnneon.com][img]www.pkmnneon.com/trainercard.php?id=XXXXXXXX[/img][/url]

Where you replace the Xs with your username. For example the code for mine is

[url=www.pkmnneon.com][img]www.pkmnneon.com/trainercard.php?id=jcsnider[/img][/url]

Extra thanks goes to
Blizzard - Helped me decode the gender and level info for each poke.
Game_Guy - Support on image format and indirect ideas.
and Ryex - For support and ideas

*Please Note that the card is generated after you disconnect. If your card isn't appearing try logging into and the out of the game.

What you have right now is that you use a .php file for the image tags.
This works fine on CP, but not all sites allow a .php file image.

To fix this, you can use some rewrite rules.

In your .htaccess file, add

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule trainercard.png trainer.php

And that's it.
Now you can do www.pkmnneon.com/trainercard.png?id=jcsnider


And I'll try this game out when I have time XP


Edit:
Might I suggest to make the title screen a higher quality image... in .png format?
The jpeg'd image is a turn off D:

Edit edit:
I /have/ to run the updater in admin mode because access to title.jpg is denied otherwise.
I installed it in program files...
Just letting you know of this.

[GAX]

Even after the update, it wont work on my computer (wanna start blaming 7?)

[G_G]

I get an error saying Empty path name isn't legal.
I tried the old installer and its not working on windows 7 though.

[element]

I get an error saying Empty path name isn't legal.

Same with my vista here :/

[Aqua]

Run in admin?

Usually the easiest way to solve errors XP

[tSwitch]

say....might we be able to request custom sprites eventually? :3c

[Aqua]

Please say yes!!!
Also... I don't like how my trainer card shows a boy >8I

[jcsnider]

Auctually I have that error fixed.
I need to re-make the installer with the new updater but I have asked Ryex to hold onto the installation file (He created newest install). So the second I get that from him I will send out a new version of the updater 

[WhiteRose]

Please say yes!!!
Also... I don't like how my trainer card shows a boy >8I

My thoughts exactly. I second the motion. Only if it's not too much extra work for you, of course.

[Spoofus]

started to play the game i must say i like it alot nice job...nice job indeed

[jcsnider]

Sorry it took so long, but anyone with the illegal path error, I have updated the installer (same link)
www.pkmnneon.com/pnosetup.exe

This will fix your error.

If you do not have this error, do not worry about this new installer, you are fine.

[G_G]

works perfectly now thank you! ^_^

[Aqua]

Can I request a volume adjuster in the options menu? XP

[Ryex]

you could, will it happen any time soon? unlikely

[Landith]

I get a NoMethod error after I closed out and tried to log back in.

[jcsnider]

I cannot see the image XD, it says the link is broken.

[crzyone9584]

Whats with the hard battles in the cave? my team got wiped out. Just got to train more

[Landith]

Well the reason is because my account didn't save fully because apparently you have to go through the intro all the way and I closed out before it finished. So I just created a new account, it's all good now (:

[Tazero]

Found a glitch/bug?



It was after I used the pc in the 2nd town in Zion? I didn't deposit pokemon or items only withdrew and i got this.

[jcsnider]

That is a known error, I have reported it to Blizz already 

[SwiftDeathSK]

I just started up and upon leaving Dogwood's Lab in Zion's starting area, it took forever to load and then eventually i got an error message saying "Script is Hanging". I meant to screenshot it but I guess it didnt get copied. That was the entire message, though.

[jcsnider]

It may just be a freak thing, have you tried again since then?

[SwiftDeathSK]

no, i had other things i had to do. I can check again later though, don't have time atm.


EDIT: Okay, logged back in, I'm where I should be on the map, and I cant seem to replicate the error.

[winkio]

Start encrypting your game.  If you are already encrypting, find a different method (talk to Blizz).
