Well, while I was gone, some guy by Alexandre decided to combine Netplay 1.6.3 with Pokemon Essentials starter kit....
Quote[RMXP] Starter Kit for making Online Pokemon Games

A server (albeit a bit buggy :/)
Login Screen

Currentley working on:
Emoticons in the chat
Starting the trade function
Fixing connecting maps when involving netplayers.
Writing a FAQ to document the new features and how to use them.
Fix a problem that when the game window is closed, the player does not get removed from the server's list of online people.
Fix a litle bug with the private chat system
Surfing no longer wants to work to a certain extent. When you click on the water, the message pops up fine. If you click yes, the player does not change sprite and does not move inside the water. The BGM still changes to that of surf though :/
Running, although I think its just pressing the shift button, doesn't appear to be working.
Strength doesn't appear to work, pressing on the boulder does nothing. - seems to be variable, works sometimes, and other times not.
Bubble chat(text from chat to appear below player)
Getting Connecting Maps to work again >_< Any maps connected to the one you are on no longer display, even if you walk into them Until you walk into them. Thats annoying >_<\
Due to my messing about, the maps are now repeating themselves over and over, ( if u keep walking to the sides of a map, the map will repeat itself for some reason )
Yay! Other players now actively update on the map! You can see them moving etc. Now there are still a few bugs to iron out e.gtransferring between maps is now broken >_<
if someone joins, they don't see the other players until they move and
Okay, its a bit buggy, but other players are starting to show on the map, but only if you leave the map and return, they don't yet update
and I broke the message display system while doing this. It seems that the messages are still showing, but underneath the map layer ( the z planes are all messed up :/ )
Getting other players to show on the map. This problem seems to be a conflict between Poccil's and the Netplay's way of coding.
Currentley finished:
Communicating with the Netplay Plus server by SuicideManic
A fully functional login screen adapted to the resolution of Pokemon Essentials
A fully functional registering screen adapted to the resolution of Pokemon Essentials
To a certain extent, the chat system is fully functional
Private Chat system
Global erasing of events
Having the ability to display the map without other players.
Having the ability to show a players chat underneath them.
Future Plans:
Trading system for both items and Pokemon
Battle system - battles against your friends
Party system - allow people to become part of your party and have double battles with gym leaders and wild encounters
More to come!

Pokemon Essentials : Online utilizes Netplay Plus 1.6.3 not 2.0, so many features such as online registration, MYSQL databases etc, are not included. This is due to the fact that I can't understand how the Netplay + 2.0 server works for the life of me. When I figure it out, I shall start on a new version of PE:O.
This project may NEVER see a release until I get the explicit permission from Poccil and either Me(tm) or Mr.Mo to allow for a modified release of their scripts
Thanks,
Alexandre
I was browsing PokeCommunity for a town map maker for the return of Pokemon Neon and I fount this... I am not going to use it (RMX-OS will be better), it dosn't look like it has too many features (yet) but it looks promising for those who may....
This is basically the first post copied off the auctual topic...
