  1. How to change chat box size for PTS

    https://i.imgur.com/wRH7gTp.gifv

     

    Temporary chat box background transparency fix for PTS

     

    Open file gfx.xml located here: ...\PokeMMO-Client-PTS-9433\data\themes\default

     

    Go to line 805, 806, 807 and find:

    <area name="chat.top.background" tint="#55949494" xywh="9,191,5,5" inset="0,-3,-3,-3"/>
    <area name="chat.bottom.background" tint="#55949494" xywh="9,191,5,5" inset="-3,-3,0,-3"/>
    <area name="chat.content.background" tint="#55949494" xywh="9,191,5,5" inset="0,-3,0,-3"/>

    Change to:

    <area name="chat.top.background" tint="#99000000" xywh="9,191,5,5" inset="0,-3,-3,-3"/>
    <area name="chat.bottom.background" tint="#99000000" xywh="9,191,5,5" inset="-3,-3,0,-3"/>
    <area name="chat.content.background" tint="#99000000" xywh="9,191,5,5" inset="0,-3,0,-3"/>

    Save file. Press Ctrl+F5 in-game to see changes.

     

    Alternatively, if you are uncomfortable making changes yourself or do not have an editor you can replace gfx.xml with this one: https://ufile.io/t7jw6

  2. My post wasn't intended to be a change affecting all future events. I merely said that if new players are being denied a Halloween event completely, they should have a chance to get something. Tailoring everything for old players and giving nothing to new players don't seem very business savvy to me.

    Keep in mind too that all of this was based on Kyu's post of him being on the fence about having a Halloween event or not.

    I think he means when you hover over the move, like in summary. Toxic for example could say "PP: 10 (Max: 16)"

    Oh, I see. If this were my suggestion and I wanted to see that change made, I would try to provide a list of all moves' pp/pp max to help out.

  4. I have to agree with redspawn on some points here. I'm also an old player and do not understand the "old players will be mad" thing. I would understand completely if there were vanities released exclusively for an anniversary, or player loyalty (logged in X amount of days in a row) or other milestones that players had to work to earn, but that's not the case here. A player who was fortunate enough to have been playing the day(s) of a holiday event shouldn't fall under this category in my opinion. Some people had to work, had school, were sick, had family obligations, didn't know about the game yet, etc. The Halloween event is a holiday event and is meant to be a celebration of that holiday by all as a community. This is also an MMO where new players join every day. A lot of people missed out and I think preventing them from ever having the same chances we did is wrong. Every single player should be able to participate. That being said, I understand that some of the vanities were a limited time item but this doesn't necessarily mean they meant a one-time limited time item. What other MMOs have you played that do not reuse the holiday event items?

     

    A couple of people are complaining about the value of the items but it would not be any different than the original release. Those of you that were there should remember the: initially expensive -> now everyone has one -> price plummets -> time passes, people quit -> less available -> price and "rarity" increases -> value goes back up. If anything, I assumed people would be happy about getting a whole new batch of these to hoard and sell later. The whole value argument doesn't make a lot of sense.

     

    In this case, where there wasn't time to create new special Halloween vanities, I just can't see any reason not to reuse items. It would make the most sense and I'm sure people understand the special case this year of a new release coming at the same time as a holiday and it merits a quick and dirty reuse of last year's Halloween event. I could be completely wrong here, but I haven't spoken to a single person yet who disagrees with this (except one person about the reuse of vanity). We could always create a poll to find out.

    Keep in mind many of those vanities are valued at several million pokeyen each now. Reintroduce them with an event again, and they drop back down to 200k-800k each.

    This is the way of the mmo economy though. It wouldn't be long before they went right back up where they are atm.

    Well blatantly assuming all old players wouldn't be upset just because you aren't is a pretty bold statement in itself, so idk man

    I'm not sure where you read that, but try again. I asked what old players would be upset by it, and then made a statement that /I/ wouldn't be.

  7. I agree with going ahead on the Halloween event vs not doing one at all. I also agree with it being completely ok to add 2015 and 2016 Halloween vanities in. What old players would be upset by this? I'm not upset by it. I think it's a great idea considering how close release is to the event, a very happy compromise in my opinion. Let's be honest, we're going to chew through that PTS pretty fast like we always do.

    IPZtAJa.pngnce upon a time...

    In a fierce battle between Snow White and the Evil Queen things take a turn for the worse when the frustrated Evil Queen invokes a spell intended to cast the seven dwarfs out of her castle and away from Snow White. The spell quickly opens a portal that pulls Snow White and her dwarves to some unknown land with an unintended side-effect.

     

    Snow White awakens to find herself in a strange new place, surrounded by a large forest. She notices that she feels bazaar and is shocked to find out that she's been transformed into one of the birds she loves so much... A Spearow!

     

    Before Snow White can even begin to figure out how to get home, she will need help to locate her seven dwarves who have been scattered across Kanto and Hoenn.

    I was assuming the whole thing was exclusive to official tournaments.

    With some of the comments it looked like it might be all battles, but if only official, my last post can be ignored.

  10. There would also be the issue with people using battles to teleport their friends around the map, specifically alts who can't even reach an area yet. I think it goes without saying that if something like this ever existed, it would certainly be temporary for as long as the battle lasted and should lock the player in place for the duration of the battle.

     

    It might also be something that's added to the "checklists" on battle creation, to preserve privacy as @Bestfriends pointed out.

    stop jouk and tell the truth. stop hack safari :V me  1000 times in safari =1 chansey , staff 1 time safari = 10000 chansey all with lucky egg :V

    I actually had the same concern as the OP and can confirm that staff does not get any bonus to rates. I used to catch a lot of Chanseys but now I'm lucky to catch one every 5 safari runs. RNG has forsaken me.

  12. I wonder how long it would take before someone complained that a number of people teleporting near the battle caused lag and/or cost them the fight.

    I also wonder if people organizing an entire team to teleport to a person at once would be an issue. Perhaps a limit on how many people could teleport at once would be the way to go.

     

    In any case, I don't see a problem with any player posting suggestions. I don't understand why the current development schedule has anything to do with this as I didn't see a time frame in the OP.
