Pokemon Quest Online
Website: http://pokemonquestonline.ca.kz/
Alot of people here will reconize me with my never ending script questions which get fixed then another pops up on and on and on. I got a PM before I got away from the game for awhile saying that I should make a topic for my game so here it is.
In the Past
When I got the idea for this game I was working with Eclipse a 2d mmo maker, it is realy nice for midevil mmos but not what I was trying to do. I worked with it for several months... I took ALL the mystery dungon sprites and turned them into a spriteset which would work with Eclipse... and when all failed I moved on. I knew about another game maker almost the exact same as Eclipse called Elysium... It proved useful with pets... And I used a pet system for a long time and it auctilly turned out ok we had several people wanting to play... we got to a demo stage and more. But one night a 5 min thunderstrom came by and of course for my luck the server was shut down and currupted... All serverdata and source files were lost.
By that time I knew about the pokemon starter kits for rpg maker xp and I was intrested in it, I had RPG Maker Xp from before I started using Eclipse, I wasnt that good but not bad. I looked up for a way to make rpg maker xp online... and tada fount netplay! From that point I mapped and stuff... I fount the PC script and talked to Blizzard about a few minor changes and he told me about Chaos Project and I signed up. I kept on coming to him with questions and he most of the time would quickly answer them and the game wasnt bad... but laggy. So he suggested Netplay Plus 2.0. With even more of his help we finally got it set up... SQL databases wernt my favorite though and it didnt last long untill I fount Netplay 2.1.6 and 2.5.3... Some Italian people where autilly continuing Netplay. I downloaded glad to know it had the choice for english language and started adding my scripts.
Thanks to Blizzard yet again he fixed it up some.. he removed Mr. Mo's ABS added some extra non lag scripts and more but all was too good to last. He sent me the scripts that were fixed and I slowly started adding scripts that would make ti look like a pokemon game. I made a most and spent around 5 days on it. I got flustrated with error after error and layed low for awhile... But it was too long. Now I have messed up scripts... I tried downloading the script Blizzard Fixed for me but they have been inactive for too long and they have been deleted I know I uploaded some scripts after that but they were gone too
Now
I really dont know, I am spending every second of my free time going through the scripts looking for anything I can. I do not know the RPG Maker XP scripting language at all so I am hopeless... I am going through all of my old backups looking for the game in netplay 1.6.3 which can be used if I have to... I am working on screenshots. and more.
Help
If there are any scripters out there that has alot of free time and can help... I now have a dedicated server and an ok website.
In return
If there is anyone out there that can help I will be glad to repay you... I am getting good at making websites. Or well I can try to help with other games... if needed. Almost anything.
Back to the Game
About the Game
Not much to say here, this is going to be an online Pokemon Game I am determined to make it online with netplay perferably 2.x I only have up to about 60 maps right now I think but it is enough to release a demo if I could get everything working.
Screenshots
None Yet hoping to have some in the next few days.

It's "copyright", not "copywrite". xD
I know that starting out with scripting can be difficult especially if you don't know where to start. Click here (http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=57.0) for a couple of tutorials. Your best bet might be to start off scripting yourself. But you might be lucky to find a very dedicated scripter instead. :) In any case, good luck! It would be great to see an RMXP MMO that actually survives for longer than a couple of months.
No, It wouldn't be easier to learn scripting... If I would have known that I would be going through all of these errors 2 years ago when I started then yes I would have learnt scripting... But now... I have too much school and just not enough time to focus on learning scripting... I don't really have enough time to work on this game much either but it is something to work on in free time... If all else fails... I may just end this and move on... I wasn't expecting what I got into... not many RPGXP scripters are around anymore especially the ones who made netplay... just my luck again. I may even just switch over to single player and use a starter kit. But I will take a look at what you posted
Nah, you just need a dedicated scripter with some experience. He will get familiar with netplay quickly and be able to help you. It's all just a matter of dedication and time.
