[RMVX] Good VS Evil

Script Name: Good VS Evil
Written by: Synthesize
Version: 1.0.0
Release Date: January 26, 2008

What is it?
This script allows the end user (you) to give each playable character an alignment and alignment points. The system works similar to the Baldur's Gate 'reputation system', where x amount of Upgrade points increase the actors alignment. The script automatically draws the alignment in the status screen.

Comments? Concerns? Post them.

Really useful for freeform games

Nice work.

This script looks great, but I need to know, is there a way to set it up so that depending on the alignment events will say different things like there is some generic antagonist and if your alignment is evil then he will help you but if it is good then he will attack

how do you change the alignment?

Yeah, I'd like to know this also. Cause without the feature of alignment changing events, it seems kind of useless.

Yeah there is actually XD I just realized it. In the demo the first guy said different things depending on how much goodness, evilness, or neutralness you had. 

Good script.
Gives more variety for types of games you want to make.

I keep getting an message that "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 204.191.115.42:43179" when I try to download the demo.

Is this just me?

no its everyone synth appears to have the file on his own computer availible for downloading if his pc isnt online then you cannot download

So then, could someone upload it somewhere where it doesn't matter if Synth is on?

His and my online times don't seem to correlate.

Sorry to double post, but I wanted to be sure this would show up...

you forgot a letter on line 47 of the Alignment_Patch script in the demo.

Code: [Select]

        $game_party.members[i].alignmnt -= value

should be

Code: [Select]

        $game_party.members[i].alignment -= value

thanks will be useful for my Freeform Oblivion/Fable Style game.
