[XP] Complete Climate and Time System (CCTS)

[ForeverZer0]

Might be an error with the config generator (it was my first C# project I ever made). Add the following line directly before the line where the error is.

@climate = []

[Sbus]

i did it, and a new error showed up:

CCTS_Configuration 561 NoMethodError
undefined method 'maps' for nil:NilClass

the line is:

   @climate.each {|climate| return climate if climate.maps.include?(map_id)}

it's at the end of the script, so i hope it's the last error *_*

[ForeverZer0]

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense...
Somehow or another, on of the climates in the array is nil.

Double-check the first part of the Climates class. Make sure that the first index is 0, and that no numbers are skipped. It should look like something like this:

    @climate[0] = Game_Climate.new(0)
    @climate[1] = Game_Climate.new(1)
    @climate[2] = Game_Climate.new(2)
    @climate[3] = Game_Climate.new(3)
    @climate[4] = Game_Climate.new(4)

If the first index is not 0 let me know. It might look like this:

    @climate[1] = Game_Climate.new(1)
    @climate[2] = Game_Climate.new(2)
    @climate[3] = Game_Climate.new(3)
    @climate[4] = Game_Climate.new(4)

Or let me know if the the numbers in the brackets do not run in order. (0, 1, 2, 3, etc., etc.)

[Sbus]

Don't ask me why, but the fourth climate was missing...
I added it, and it works, but there's a problem:
the screen gradually becomes white, regardless of the hour i start the game.
also, if i change map, the screen tint returns to the "normal" one.

bump?

Upload a demo that reproduces the problem, I can't say for sure without seeing what's going on.

I'm sorry, but I am not signing up and joining 4shared just to download a file.
Could you please upload to a file sharing service that is less of a pain the ass, I hate 4shared for that reason.

[Sbus]

Sorry, i used it only because i had an old account.

Meh, I managed to find another time system and I did.
It suits better my needs so, I think theresn't a problem anymore.

If anybody knows how to do it that would help me a lot, because I'm a newbie in gamemaking.

In your event (most likely a door), put the first event command to turn a switch OFF (we will use this to determine whether the place is open/closed). Then use a script call and copy something like this:

return if ['Thursday', 'Saturday', 
'Sunday'].include?(time.day_name)
return unless (10..14).include?( 
time.current_time[1])
$game_switches[ID] = true

Replace ID with the same number as the switch we used at the beginning of our example.

Then, use a conditional branch and, under tab 4, use a script. Write this in the box:

$game_switches[ID]

Again, replacing ID with the switch we are using for this example.

If it's true, then the place is open. Otherwise, it's closed.

Thanks a lot, it really helped .

When I tried to use the script this window opened

Please don't double post.
Also, c'mon guys... no one could post the answer for me? D:

You're supposed to replace ID with an actual number. If you want to use Switch 20, replace ID with 20. I even clearly said

Replace ID with the same number as the switch we used at the beginning of our example.

If you're still confused, I'll post a screenie later.

This script doesn't modify the weather effects. This script, however, does: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,5980.0.html

Under the class RPG::Weather, you'll see that it's nothing more than creating a bunch of sprites. This is where the actual splash effect is made:

    # Splash Bitmap

    @rain_splash = Bitmap.new(8, 5)
    case $game_screen.weather_variation
    when 1 # Blood splash
      splash_color1 = Color.new(141, 9, 9)
      splash_color2 = Color.new(141, 9, 9, 128)
    when 2 # Oil splash
      splash_color1 = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
      splash_color2 = Color.new(15, 15, 15)
    when 4 # Golden splash
      splash_color1 = Color.new(227, 217, 56)
      splash_color2 = Color.new(218, 207, 36)
    when 5 # Sepia splash
      splash_color1 = Color.new(167, 149, 139)
      splash_color2 = Color.new(100, 75, 63)
    else # Normal (Default)
      splash_color1 = Color.new(255, 255, 255)
      splash_color2 = Color.new(255, 255, 255, 128)
    end
    
    @rain_splash.fill_rect(1, 0, 6, 1, splash_color2)
    @rain_splash.fill_rect(1, 4, 6, 1, splash_color2)
    @rain_splash.fill_rect(0, 1, 1, 3, splash_color2)
    @rain_splash.fill_rect(7, 1, 1, 3, splash_color2)
    @rain_splash.set_pixel(1, 0, splash_color1)
    @rain_splash.set_pixel(0, 1, splash_color1)

I don't script in VXA so someone else will have to help you with that.

I might work on converting that script that KK20 mentioned to VXA, now that I'm off from school for winter break.

[ThallionDarkshine]

Done.

[Lamsah]

Oh you got it completed  Thank you very much ThallionDarkshine  

Please PM me for payment method and total

quick question, on the script says use this method to test $game_map.screen.weather(type, power, transition, variation)

i tried that method and an error occurred:

undefined method `weather' for nil:NilClass

EDITED:
Mr. Thallion solved the issue and thanks to him in making live

Hey, so I recently had a problem that had stumped me for about 2 days. For anyone who had this same problem, you will be glad that I wrote this, 'cause holy crap it was annoying. Probably a result of my laziness in rewriting the audio module. Anyway, for those of you who want to both use this script, and to have your Map BGM return to its place after a battle here is an easy solution. I tried to use the MCI player script on here, but it had a problem with the fade in/out of the weather effects of this script. So, I found this script. http://www.hbgames.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=55486

If you comment out lines 1171 through 1195 then you will have both the awesome weather/time and have your map bgm return to where it was at before a battle. The link above has 3 scripts. Find the one called FmodEX and comment out these lines:

# def Audio.bgs_play(filename, volume = 100, pitch = 100, position = 0)
   # if @bgs_fading_out
   #   @next_bgs = RPG::AudioFile.new(filename, volume, pitch)
   #   @next_bgs_position = position
   #   return
   # end
   # FMod::bgs_play(filename, volume, pitch, position)
# end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Stops BGS Playback
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# def Audio.bgs_stop
   # FMod::bgs_stop
   # @bgs_fading_out = false
  #end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Starts BGS fadeout.
  #     time            : Length of the fadeout in milliseconds.
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# def Audio.bgs_fade(time)
  #  return unless FMod::bgs_playing?
  #  @bgs_fading_out = true
  #  time = time / 1000
  #  @bgs_fade_decrement = FMod::bgs_volume / (time * 5)
  #end

That's it. Man, that was annoying. Since ForeverZero wrote both this script and the MCI, he probably has a much better way to do this, but this will get the job done for now.
