I'm trying to create a slightly different job system from the norm, but I'm having difficulty trying to make it. :-\
Each character has what I call a Job Tree. At the moment, each only has four jobs within their Job Tree (they're very basic so far), but I plan to add more. Each character has a unique Class and from that class they can branch into more specialised jobs. For example:
-------------------------------/-> Paladin
Swordsman -> Knight ->
-------------------------------\-> Dark Knight
------------------------------------/-> Black Mage
Spellweaver -> Red Mage ->
------------------------------------\-> White Mage
Also, each job has its own level, and once it reaches a certain level, the player can 'evolve' their character to the next job. Once the final level of a Job is mastered, the player can freely switch between a character's jobs both in and out of battle.
It sounds so much more complicated when I write it all out... I just hope that all made sense...
Help, please? Is this even possible, or would I be better off switching to RMXP?
Please don't switch to XP, keep 2k3 alive.
I LOVE that type of class system in video games, and the best way you could go about doing it is by have some sort of 'temple' or training guru to help the player advance when they are ready (something like this is needed because you will need an event to change the class system, there is no 'auto-class' change system in 2oo3 as far as I know).
The eventing should be relatively simple, as I did the same in one of my 2oo3 projects.
It should look something like this;

Just fill in the blanks with what should be there, the basic system that you need is completely there tho~

Lol yeah. I prefer the interface and looks of XP but 2k3 gameplay for me is just wonderful (I sound pretty flaming there) and it's just classic.
Thanks for the help. :) My laptop refused to work for a few weeks, so I didn't bother checking this until I got my laptop (and rm3k) back. I had tried a few other ways before, but couldn't get them to work. But this is working fine. Thanks again!
