[MISSING] Soul Rage System + Soul Limit System v4.4b

[Karo Rushe]

I get this with Mink's Side-View Battle system when I use Soul-Rage.

[blazinhandle]

u have to implement the SR/SL to Minkoffs, its explained in earlier pages.

[Karo Rushe]

I wish I could know how to do that....What should I do now? 

[Blizzard]

Same bug like in the CMS.

[blazinhandle]

hey blizz how can you implement the SR/SL to hold icons like other commands?

[Blizzard]

Sure. You need to mod "def refresh" from Window_Command in the script.

well this is what im using to draw the gradients:

Code Select Expand

class Window_Battle_Command < Window_Selectable
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # @ Draw choice
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_item(index, color)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(@commands[index] + ".png")
    opacity = color == normal_color ? 255 : 128
    self.contents.blt(4, 32*index, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24), opacity)
    self.contents.font.color = color
    rect = Rect.new(28, 31 * index, self.contents.width - 28, 28)
    self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[index])
  end
end[/spoiler]

what exactly do i do in refresh? with the command icon script above i still don't have an icon for "Soul Rage" (or in my case "Adrenaline") even when I have an icon named after it. sorry man, i'm not sure what to do.

[Blizzard]

Alright, I'll explain it. RGSS uses bitmaps to display stuff. You can let text be drawn on bitmaps with draw_text(...). Now, the trick it is that you also can cache icons and put them on bitmaps with blt(...). You basically need to change Window_Command's def refresh in the SRS script by adding the caching part and "putting the icon on the bitmap". You need increase the x value of the Soul Rage/Adrenaline text drawing to move it to the right to make some room first.

i came out with something like this:

Code Select Expand

elsif ALLOW_RAGE and @commands[1] == "Adrenaline"
      for j in 0...6
        self.contents.clear
        self.contents.font.color = RAGE_COLOR
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon("Adrenaline")
    self.contents.blt(4, 32*index, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24), opacity)
        rect = Rect.new(164 - j * 28, 32, self.contents.width - 28, 28)
        self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[1])
        self.contents.font.color = normal_color
        for i in 0...@item_max
          unless @commands[i] == "Adrenaline"
            draw_item(i, normal_color)
          end
        end[/spoiler]

however it only shows up when im holding >> and then pressing down to another command just before it disappears (it'll do it for just a second then you have to go back and hold right while scrolling down the commands)...

[Blizzard]

Code Select Expand

self.contents.blt(4, 32*index, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24), opacity)

Use this instead:

Code Select Expand

self.contents.blt(164 - j * 28, 32, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24), opacity)

The the icons will move as well. If it still doesn't work, try putting your two commands below the code you just posted, after the second "end".

[blazinhandle]

hmmm still nothing. When I placed them below the ends the icons just disappeared right away...

[tSwitch]

damnit, I can't find how to reset SR at the end of battle

[Blizzard]

You mean reset to 0? Just use a parallel process common event and put this into a call script command:

Code Select Expand

for actor in $game_party.actors
  actor.sr = 0
end

[tSwitch]

still learning RPG Maker XP a bit, you can make a common event a paralell process?
like without needing an event?

[Blizzard]

Yes. You only need to turn on the switch you set to activate the event. You can use such an event game-wide, not for only one map.

[tSwitch]

cool, I didn't know that

[Rune]

  That's one ace script there matey

How do you do it

[Blizzard]

I type them? ?_?

[Rune]

Is there a way to change someone's Soul Limit in-game?

[Blizzard]

# If you want to change the Soul Limit skill ID and/or command ingame use the
# "Call script" event command and use this syntax:
#
# $game_actors[X].set_new_limit("STRING", ID)
#
# - X is the ID of the hero in the database and Y the ammount
# - STRING is the new name for the SL command
# - ID is the ID of the new SL skill in the database
#
# You can also use another syntax:
#
# $game_party.actors[X].set_new_limit("STRING", ID)
#
# X is the postion of the hero in the party. Note that X starts from 0 (NOT 1)!

[Rune]

  Why don't I read?

[JFloyd]

I don't understand how to add wepons to the list.

# START SR Database
#
# This is your equipment Soul Rage database. To add a new Soul Rage skill to a
# weapon is very simple. Add another "when"-branch in the script snipplet below
# (they have comments next to it). Configure it like this template:
#
# when WEAPON_ID
#   skill_ids.push(SOULRAGE_SKILL_ID)
#   skill_ids.push(SOULRAGE_SKILL_ID)
#
# The same works for armors:
#
# when ARMOR_ID
#   skill_ids.push(SOULRAGE_SKILL_ID)
#   skill_ids.push(SOULRAGE_SKILL_ID)
#
# The lines are commented below so you should have no problems with the script.
#
# To determine the percentage of Soul Rage consumed to use a skill, set the SP
# to the percentage. e.g. 33SP would mean 33% of the Soul Rage bar.

        skill_ids.push(11)
        skill_ids.push(12)
      when 10
        skill_ids.push(8)

    else

      when 18
        skill_ids.push(25)
      end
#::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
# END SR Database
#::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


Just like the database instructions tell you. Since the code is like this:

    if weapon
      case equip_id # weapon IDs
      when 6
        skill_ids.push(10)
        skill_ids.push(11)
        skill_ids.push(12)
      when 10
        skill_ids.push(8)
      end
    else
      case equip_id # armor IDs
      when 6
        skill_ids.push(1)
      when 18
        skill_ids.push(25)
      end

I think it shouldn't be a problem. =P

[JFloyd]

I dont understand where to put the stuff....lol, i dont understandy ruby what so ever.

when 6
        skill_ids.push(10)
        skill_ids.push(11)
        skill_ids.push(12)

The 6 would be the weapon or armor ID and the numbers in the brackets are the IDs of the skills that that piece of equipment uses as their Soul Rage
