[RMVX] Extra Movement Frames

Gow would you do that...make the character set bigger I mean.  How big can you go?  For example, I have a friend that is custom making sprites for me, and we want them to look really awesome, but we don't like the quishy look of the VX RTP characters, so we're making them bigger, so how big can the character set be?

As big as you want, but you don't need this script to do that.

Just put $ before the character file name, and it will treat it as a single character sheet, so it can be any size.

Hello there! I've been working with your script but I ran into few problems. They're pretty minor, but I just want to throw them at your direction so you know them.

Issue #1
By default, RPPVX process the walking pattern like this: 1,2,3,2,1,2,3 - repeat. It cycles, from 1 to 3, to 1, etc.

But your script changed that so it goes 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4. It doesn't cycle backwards. I can probably dive in the script and try to change the pattern settings.

Issue #2
When I start the game with my main character using your extended pattern script. It goes to 3rd pattern, but immediately switches to 1st pattern. It's minor but you can see character change its pattern when you're not doing anything at first - (game start, teleport wrap, etc.) It's kind of big issue for me. They aren't supposed to do that in my opinion so it irks me.

Issue #3
The script doesn't affect any filename that doesn't have $ in front. So that's fine... until I used my custom sprite that only has 3 frames, named $raven, but in the game, it acts like he has extended patterns so it only shows partial raven sprite. I can avoid this issue by setting it to %[3], though.

I believe issue # 1 is actually because this is (presumably) intended to make it possible to use RMXP characters. RMXP goes 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4... instead.

Is this script compatible with Tankentai SBS(v3.3), ATB (v1.1) and the Animated Enemies Add-on?
Because I'm having a problem, or I'm just doing it wrong... I dunno.

Well I placed the script above MAIN, I already added a character with name !$%[6]lawrence but in game I just can see parts of the sprites, sliced. In battle it goes okay.

Am I doing something wrong or it's incompatible? Thanks

Very nice script, but is it customizable enough to just use animations like this?

Hi modern algebra, thanks for letting me use your EMF Script.
Its very usefull but I need your advice for some things about it.

This is a sample Sprite I made (only for the Down Button) to test your script:

What do I have to edit in your script to make it walk like this:
1-3-4-5-6-7-(repeat)

Currently your script envolves the "Stand Sprite" (2) into the walking animation, making it look "bad".

And also I've found a little issue in your script:
When I start the game with my main character. It goes to 2nd pattern, but immediately switches to 1st pattern. You can see character change its pattern when you're not doing anything at first - (game start, teleport wrap, etc.).
How do I also change this ?

I hope you can help me as fast as possible.

Thank you.

Wait, so I have to rename my actual .png file for this to work? Lame... I spent all night downloading Sithjester's sprites so I could use them with RMVX.

It takes about 1 second to rename a file

I have a lot of files

If you're seriously that fucking lazy, get photoshop and make a batch command to save-as documents to whatever you want. Use google on how to batch command actions in photoshop if you have it, because I'm not going to explain something like this to an idiot.

Wow, you're a dumbass. I already did it, so get the fuck off my case.

Huh, well it mustn't have taken you too long then. Also, dumbass would be the incorrect insult. I haven't done anything dumb at all. Asshole would have been more suitable, I think. I'm not particularly on your case. You just seem to post stupid shit all the time, and I'm there to tell you that they're stupid. To be honest, it's really nothing personal, lol. I just think a lot of your posts are dumb, dumbass . 

No, you're pretty much on my case. You call me fucking lazy, call me an idiot, and then try to make it seem like you did nothing wrong. And yeah, you are a dumbass. I post stupid shit all the time? I'm new to forums, and I've barely been here for two days. Try to show a little consideration next time.

Hey, lets pick a fight with a mod. Why don't you calm down, and keep this off the script. Take it to a PM or something. I don't think MA likes spam in his topics for the scripts that he worked so hard on.

Anyway, I just noticed this, and I rather like it. Nice job

Technically, I think grafikal picked a fight with him, not the other way around

Anyway, I agree with redyugi; talk about it elsewhere.

Hello, im incredibly new to scripting but i learn fast. i was very excited to find this script because i can do better movement detail due to extending frame movements. but im having so much trouble understanding how to really install it correctly. i keep running into "syntax errors" and the sort. i know everyone is prolly screaming out newb right now lol and i dont blame you haha. but im just completely lost. if possible, could anyone spare the time to explain how to make this work correctly? like a step by step process? it would mean so much.

ok this is the actual error """"Script line 60: name error occurred. Undefined method `update_animation' for class `game_character'

Well, update_animation is a default method of Game_Character, so ...

my best guess is that you're using RMXP. This script is for RMVX and it will not work in XP. Sorry.

If you are using VX, then you must have screwed around with the default scripts or erased Game_Character accidentally.

well crap lol, i did however start a new project and try inserting the script but i still received that error, but maybe i did mess something else up.....anyways thanx for replying!

Hmm, OK. Well where are you putting the script? Because this script has to be put below Materials and above Main. You would get that error if you put it anywhere above the Game_Character slot.

ooooooohhhhhhh....now i see what i did, yeah you were totally right! im used to working with XP and the original rpg maker translated by don miguel or something like that. if only i had scrolled down a bit i would have answered my own question! haha  thanx again for the help. and i will make great use of the script

This seems nice, though when I installed it to try it out, one of my butterflies (the ones that came with rmvx) turned into a sheep when it went diagonally to the left.  OAO;; 

Just posting to let you know that this is incompatible with GTBS. When I enter battle, I get an error on line 71.

Script 'Extra Movement Frames' line 71: TypeError occured.

nil can't be coerced into Fixnum

Here is line 71

Code: [Select]

@pattern = (pattern_original + 1) % @char_frames

and the worst, in battle my monster are look like this

can someone help me? i have already followed using !$%[number of frame]<name>
