Someon wants to use our pokémon

[FMY]

Well, usually, when someone asks for them, I say they have to show us a demo first. Most people don't do it, and when they do it, it's the most stupid thing I ever seen, so it's easy to say no.

This time however, some Brazilian guy (username: victorspvl) apparently really did his best, showed me quite a great demo, and really wants to use our pokémon for his new region.

Our conversation: (I think he used some translator to write his part, so his English isn't that fantastic)

victorspvl:

My game is being developed into rpg maker xp.
You are getting good legal, but some lack fakemons ...
And not as I do.
I think it would be cool if you autorizasem me to use their fakémons.
Please allow me.
His credits are guaranteed.
Please accept ...

Me:

Hello victorspvl,

If you want to use our fakemon, please show us a demo and give us a description of your game first. If we like it, we may grant you permission to use our fakemon.

Sincerely,
FMY

He:

Meet all Pokémons, travelling by Johto, Kanto, Houenn, Pokéflute and many other places !!!!!

Capture Pokémons legendary and meet new Pokémons (if you allow me to use their fakémons )!!!!


You start the game on the continent Johto and everything will be forwarding Pokémon Silver, but things start to change when you beat the Elite Four of now will be held the World Cup Pokémon, the continent Pokéflute, living many adventures there and try to become the Pokémon trainer in the world!!

If that does not work download the RPG Maker XP.

I hope you enjoy.
The demo goes to the Elite Four, and have some Bugs

After watching the trailer, and trying to run the game on linux, which failed of course, since RPG Maker is a stupid program that only runs on windows, I wanted to try it on windows. I didn't have so much time however, so it took some time before I got to installing everything there, and I didn't reply. Therefore, he resent something:

He:

And woe will like it?(Brazil)

Me:
[/quote]Well,

I haven't been able to play the demo yet, but the screenshots in the trailer are looking good.

The problem with the demo is that it only runs on windows (which I don't like, but it's an RPG-maker problem), so I need to run it on my other PC. As soon as I've found the time, I will do that and let you know what I think about it.

Keep in mind however that I'm not the only admin out here, and that I alone cannot grant you permission to use the pokémon. I'll have to discuss it with the other admins.

Sincerely,
FMY[/quote]

He:

Thank you for listening.
After talking with them, tell me about the result.

I will be very happy if you allow me to use their fakémons !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And always give them credit for that.

I tried the demo on windows Vista, but it didn't work:

Me:

Well, victor, I tryed playing your game today, so I installed it and RPG maker on my windows-vista laptop, but I can't get much further that the title screen.

The game doesn't always start up (often, windows complains about "bad memory access"), and when it doesn't, I can see the title screen, and I can enter "Novo Jogo" (I guess that means new game), but then I'm stuck. I can't even move the player.

Are there special keys I need to use? The arrow keys don't work in any way.

Sincerely,
FMY

I thought this would be the end, but no, he provided me a solution!

He:

RPG MAKER does not work very well in Vista.

Try doing that.
Download this file:

www.4shared.com/file/35118527/145c4d01/RGSS103J.html?dirPwdVerified=c0e626ad

After having done the download, run the program .... Choose the directory that is relative to the directory of GAME.


Ok, to rename the dll RGSS102J.dll and copy it and paste it in the C: / Windows/System32.


Now go to file game.ini and replace the line of code Library for Library = RGSS102J.dll
And save.

If still does not work, try running on Windows XP.

Sorry for these problems ...

It worked. I haven't seen much more than the start of the game, which looks a lot like being a GSC remake, but it still was quite impressive. So I thought about what to do (and studied for my exams in teh meanwhile, of course, as I've been doing the whole month). Too long apparently:

He:

And the authorization?
How goes?

Me:

Ok, I got it working and I must admit, it's well done. There's still some small glitches, but nothing severe. Did you do everything yourself, or did you reuse code from other pokémon fan games?

It does look a lot like a GSC remake however, so I wonder, how exactly would you be using our pokémon?

Sincerely
FMY

He:

I use their pokémons the new continent, Pokéflute.
There will be a World Cup Pokémon.
See these images of my game

I hope you enjoy!

Me:

I'll talk about it with the other staff members. We'll let you know more before the 15th of February.

Sincerely,
FMY

That gives us some time to decide. So, I'm asking you, what shall we do? I didn't invent or sprite any of our pokémon, so I don't think I can decide. It's up to you. I'll be the messenger.

I'll be gone next week, so if I don't answer, that's the reason.

[mattgcn]

What is it, like a tournament region? I don't really have any aversion to it myself, but I didn't create much.

Perhaps we can give a list of specific Pokemon he can use, rather than giving them all.

[BonzaiRob]

It doesn't seem like the spriters of any of our pokémon are actually here any more, so I don't know who should do the deciding XD
Perhaps he could use whatever he likes other than the starters and the legendaries?

[BuffyBoy]

Oh I think he asked me too. I just flat out said no.

Then again I'm a bitch.

[mls]

Hello again. ^-^

Well... I personally don't like it when other people let people use my fakes without telling me... so I'm not sure you should just let him use the fakes. I'm pretty sure others might feel the same way. And right now, I don't think I want anymore games to use my fakes, two or three is enough to keep track of. XD So I don't think I want him to use mine, but I didn't make a lot anway. :/

[FMY]

Well, ok, not MLS's then. Not BuffyBoy's.

About the fakemon whose creators aren't around anymore, should we grant him permission to use these? Yes or no. No is the easiest and safest of course.

[BonzaiRob]

Yes, other than legendaries and starters. We can change our minds later, if creators come back with complaints.

[FMY]

MLS and BuffyBoy, which pokémon did you create again? I don't remember.

[mls]

Hey, I can't believe PT is still alive, this is great. ^-^

Anyway, you can find all my fakes in my fake thread, I think someone posted there recently.

By the way, that new map plan style is a lot easier. xD[/off topic]

And I wish you all luck on the game, I think it will actually get done! ^-^
