Hm... I hope, you just began on making it, cause it

[rpgmaker]

Dude check the right hand plant pot, there is a nice surprise  

[Blizzard]

Oh, thanks. Now I played it till the end... But I didn

[rpgmaker]

Could you help me please blizzard?

With my battle script, i have the animation for the running to, however i dont know who to put in a running from animation could you please help me?

Also how to make them dissapear when they return like Minkoffs.
Betterstill could you post the script of minkoff here please?


(PS. Do you think the battles are allright for the game or not?)

[Blizzard]

The battles are good. I like them. Let them as they are.

No need for scripting here. Just make a common event like this one:



Trivial, huh?!  :^^: Just make sure you don

[rpgmaker]

Does that mean you like my battles or you dont?

[Blizzard]

Yeah, I like your battlers.   Did my event work?

[rpgmaker]

I guess you didnt understand me correctly, i meant in battle.

In my battles yeah, after the people attack they run back to the original position but looking like they are running foward, do you know how to stop this?

Even better just add me on msn i will explain it there.

Msn: dandaman11111@yahoo.co.uk

[Blizzard]

Ok, I

[rpgmaker]

Hm...having trouble, could you just post me the whole code but with it updated please?

And I also have another problem when my person uses a skill, instead of doing the row I set it to, it does the death row animation, do you know why?

if you help me I will make sure to put a  BIG AND I MEAN BIG thanks into the credits for you!

Many thanks

No wonder... There is a mistake at the end... Should be 6, not 5... Anyway, here is the whole script. But you have to change your animations to one main pattern, since the script is orientated by the row of the sprite set.

#   Full Animated Side View Battle System (CBS) (v2.5)               by cybersam
#
#===============================================================================
#
# here we go...
# this makes the script very easy to implement
# just add a new script above the "Main" script
# and insert this whole thing in there
#
# as you can see the sprite changing code is from the japanese script
# so the credits for the sprite changin goes to them....
# i edit it a little so it can show more sprites and sprite animations
# and added some other stuff... the next things are player movement...
#
#
#
# i got the battler changing script in this script...
# the credits for this goes to the guy who made this...
#
# ??? XRXS11. ???????????? ver.0 ???
#
# since this isnt used anymore... it isnt need for credit anymore...
# but i'll let it here since it helped me a lot...
#
#
# as for the ideas... missy provided me with realy good ideas
# that helped me alot when i didnt find a way to some of these features...
#
# here one more Credit to place...
# its RPG's script...
# not the whole thing here...
# but some snipplet you'll know witch one when read the comments
#
#
# if you want some more explaines about this script...
# the most stuff are commented... but if you still have questions or
# sugestions then you can contact me
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# how or where you can contact me...
# at the http://www.rmxp.net forum via pm, email: cybersam@club-anime.de
# or via AIM: cych4n or ICQ: 73130840
#
# remember this is still in testing phase...
# and i'm trying to work on some other additions... like character movements...
# but that wont be added now... couse i need to figure it out first...
#
#
#
# oh hehe.... before i forget...
# sorry for the bad english... ^-^''''
#
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# ok... here... since i'm using RPG's movement script...
# there are a lot of changes...
#
# when you look at the script you'll find line with "pose(n)" or "enemy_pose(n)"
# since i want my sprites have different sprites... i added one more option
# to these...
# so now if you add a number after the n (the n stands for witch sprite is used)
# fo example 8... ("pose(4, 8)") this will tell the script that the 4th animation
# have 8 frames...
# pose is used for the player... and enemy_pose for the enemy...
# there is nothing more to this...
# i used my old sprite numbers... (this time in only one sprite...)
#
# explains about the animation sprites... (the digits)
#
#
# 0 = move (during battle)
# 1 = standby
# 2 = defend
# 3 = hit (being attacked)
# 4 = attack
# 5 = skill use
# 6 = dead
# 7 = winning pose... this idea is from RPG....
#
#
# of course this is just the begining of the code...
# so more animations can be implemented...
# but for now this should be enough...
#
# alot has changed here... and now it looks like it is done...
# of course the fine edit needs to be done so it looks and works great with your
# game too...
#
#
#
# 1st   character movement...                             done
# 2rd   character apears at the enemy while attacking...  done / replaced with movement animation
# 3nd   character movement during attack...               done
#
# 4th   enemies movement...                               done
# 5th   enemy apears at the enemy while attacking...      done  / replaced with movement animation
# 6th   enemy movement during attack...                   done
#
# 7th   each weapon has its own animation...              done
# 8th   each skill has its own animation...               done
# 9th   different poses for sickness or low hp            done
#
# 10th  automaticly select the sprite...                  done
# 11th  Fullbackground                                    implemented (done)

# here we are making some animations and stuff...
# i know its not the best way...
# but this is the first working way that i found....
# this needs propper understanding how the animation works...
# if you want to change some stuff...
# in this i'll not explain much couse its realy easy if you know what you do
# otherwise it will take you time to understand it, but i think the one who
# is trying to edit this will know what he/she do... ^-^
#
#
#
# here i'll completely replace the "Sprite_Battler" class...
# so if you've changed something in there you need to change it here as well
# (i think... i didnt tested it... so its up to you)
# i'll mark the stuff i added just with --> #
# something that need to be explained have a comment...
# but its not all commented...
# so if you dont know what it means or you just want to know why it is there and
# what it does then you need to contact me or anyone who understand this... ^-^
# how you can contact me see above... at the top of this script...

# your weapon name is the ID you need to input here...
#
# same thing goes for the monster party... ^-^
# monster normaly dont need more sprites for weapons....
#
# if you want to use more... then replace the "@weapon_sprite_enemy = 4"
# with these lines... (but you need to edit them)

EDIT: That problem with the skill animation... what animation do you want to show up? The one in the last row?

[rpgmaker]

The 8th row animation please.

EDIT: It just ???670 syntax error??? , is that what you were on about above? Im very sorry to keep hassling you, its just im a big NOOB and dont know aything bout scritpingt!

[Blizzard]

I updated the script above. Yeah, I fixed that error.

[Nightwolf]

PLz host it somewhere else then megaupload.nEED PREMIUM which need money n all

[rpgmaker]

Everytime i try to start the game, it says:

? 670 syntax error

Is this my fault?

If my problem continues, a demo would just be easier i think. That is if you use postality nights version. If not im stuffed!

[Blizzard]

PLz host it somewhere else then megaupload.nEED PREMIUM which need money n all

Megaupload doesn

[rpgmaker]

BTW Nightwolf, I have updated it a LOT more since I posted that demo, when I get the battle system fixed properly I will update it again with all the new and good stuff in it!

Many thanks

EDIT: Does it work now, rpgmaker?

END OF EDIT

And here is a little tute on how to use MEGAUPLOAD.COM.  :^^:

Open the page and wait for the timer to reach 0. Then you should see this:



Press the red marked X and you will see this:



Now press the red marked button and there ya go.  :^^:

EDIT: If even this doesn

[rpgmaker]

It still says the same thing:

?syntax error 670???

Is this my problem or with the script? Have you edited something that you havent told me about or something...

EDIT: Look I will post another demo.
EDIT2: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8C185XKU

There it is, look what it says when I try to start up.

[Blizzard]

Can you host it somewhere else? I exceeded my donwload limit... This is the disadvantage, when you connect over a main server. If somebody in the network is already downloading you can

[rpgmaker]

K this is via rapidshare:

Nope still the same problem!

[Blizzard]

I can

What is your real name so i can put it into my game?
