Instructions

If you follow the RMRK+ event systems, then you can easily just copy/paste each event into your game and they should work. If you want the rank system to work, make sure you turn on that switch anytime before the player fishes 1 time ever. Also, make sure that switch stays on, it updates your Fishing Journal, if that switch is turned off, it will stop updating and the fishing rank and exp shown will be incorrect. To make a fishing event, look at any Rank 1 fishing spot or Rank 2 fishing spot. The comments will explain. A rank 1 fishing spot is if set up so that there is the same probability to catch a fish no matter what rank you are, a rank 2 fishing spot (as well as rank 3 and 4 fishing spots) are set up so that the higher your rank is above the minimum for that spot, the easier it is to fish there. Since in the demo rank 5 is the highest there is, a rank 5 fishing spot is set up the same as a rank 1 spot. You can create more ranks of fishing if you want. It is suggested. Also, you can play with how much EXP a fish will give you. In the common event for tracking your fish Rank, play with the amount of EXP you need per rank. At the moment, 100 EXP will get you to Rank 5 and in the demo, that'll take you about 2 minutes.

Author's Notes

I only use 1 switch that is apart of the event system. There is a switch I used in 0001 slot. That's only for the cutscene for the tutorial, you don't need that switch in your game for this event system, so I didn't reserve that slot.

RMRK+ Format

This script is RMRK+ Format.

Variables Used

This is the reserved list of Variables I used:

• Variables: 581 ~ 583
• 581: Tracks your fishing Rank
• 582: Tracks fishing EXP
• 583: Determines if your fishing was successful

Switches Used

This is the reserved list of Switches I used:

• Switches: 841
• 841: Turn this switch ON immediately, so that it will start tracking your fishing EXP and RANK.

Common Events Used

This is the reserved list of Common Events I used:

• Common Events: 303, 304
• 303: For displaying the info in the Fishing Journal
• 304: For tracking your fishing EXP and fishing Rank

Items Used

This is the reserved list of Items I used:

• Item IDs[251 ~ 258]
• They're the fish that you catch

Weapons Used

This is the reserved list of Weapons I used:

• Weapon IDs[492-497]
• They're the "tools" you must have equipped to catch certain fish and the Fishing Journal

Demo

I love you grafikal 

Lol. I love me too. 

Wait, how do you fish?
I pressed the action key with a net equipped and nothing happened.

Have you 1: Set up the common events correctly [so that in the conditional branch it checks the weapon ID of the Net you made?]

or 2: Did you make the event you're fishing at call the correct common event?

If neither happens, send me screenshots

It looks pretty good grafikal. Nice work.

But Levent is right - in the demo, you are calling the common events you used before converting to RMRK+ Format. So, instead of 93 you are calling 1 or whatever.


I'm not going to reserve the common events, since none of those are called in the event itself. I.E. they could be placed anywhere within the Common Events and as long as the person using the Event System calls the common events he sets them in, it'll be fine. Reserved Common Events are really only for Common events used as methods for a larger process, and the CE is called inside the part of the event that is copy & paste.

Otherwise, everything else seems to be in order and I will add it to the List. Again, nice work grafikal.

I see what you mean. I didn't expect people to copy/paste those events, since the events were an easy setup. However, I'm currently updating everything and making it more Plug-n-play. Thanks 

Updated first post.

Updated first post. I found a real small bug. Nothing big. New version for it after it was fixed though.

Also, just an update. I'm designing a whole 1-99 level system for this and a way to track and record your stats. This may require a revamp of the system because it appears to be getting more and more complicated. It's not much more complicated, but the average person just LOOKING at it would imagine that it is. All in all, this will be the most epic fishing system.

updated, now there's a demo. I didn't have one for a while since there were some bugs and stuff. New and slimmed down. Uses less variables and less switches and less common events than before. If anyone feels like looking, let me know if you find a bug or something.
