[XP] Tons of Add-ons

[Calintz]

Cool, cool ...
Have you ever played Dragonquest VIII??

Do you think you could add the "hyper / focus / tense up" feature thing to tons??

[Blizzard]

Haven't played it. What does it do?

[Cid]

Psyche Up. It's basically a "charge" type ability that can stack with itself up to four times to increase the damage dealt/HP healed by attacks and skills. I don't know the exact multipliers, but it seems to be something like:

First Psyche Up = x2
Second Psyche Up = x3
Third Psyche Up = x5
Fourth Psyche Up = x7

Your stored "tension" will disappear as soon as you break the chain of Psyche Ups, or if an enemy uses a skill that dispels it. The one exception is if you use a skill that isn't affected by the multipliers (ie: Full Heal, which heals 100% HP no matter what).

Also, in DQVIII you only have a chance of increasing to level 4 tension each time you attempt a Psyche Up. If you fail it will simply remain at level 3.

*points the Chain Status Effects*

Oooh, you're a sneaky little bastard Blizzard!! XD

Can I suggest a new version for your Blue Magic, both via Skills and Status ?

Now you can choose which skills you can learn via Skills/Status. Of course, you can setup different learnable. skills for Skills and Status. Is it worth an update ?

I'll just leave it as it is.

[Xelias]

Okay Thanks

[X-Law]

Hey
Long time since the last time i posted in this forums lol. But now i'm back (just a little XD)
Well, i was testing this and found a glitch. Is in one of the oldest script in Toons (i think). The Death Toll one. Testing the variable values with F9, the variable assigned for every actor works well as far as i know, but the main variable for defeated enemy is the one that glitch. If you enter a battle and then escape if you look at the variable you can see it count as if you defeated the enemies. This can generate a way of statboosting if you want to give treasures (or something) to the player when he defeats X number of enemies  xDDDD.
It's easy to understand isn't it? You fight Ghostx2 while variable "Death Toll" is 0, then in anytime during the battle you escape selecting "escape" (obviously XDD) and then.. oh! look! now the variable "Death Toll" has a new value "2".
(Yeah i like to put everything as examples lol)

[Blizzard]

I'll take a look at that. I made it years ago in 5 minutes so it's possible that I made a mistake. Funny that nobody ever noticed.

[X-Law]

Thanks!
I like to test everything that interest me ^^. That's why i couldn't test untill now, cuz is now when i'm inserting scripts in my game. (something similar happened with your RO Job/Skill system when nobody noticed that enemies couldn't use skills. Then i came to report that error lol. At least i'm good at testing (instead of scripting  ). It's usual that we just look at the script functionallity but didn't test it that's why things like this happens 

[Holyrapid]

Quick question about the centered battlers script. With how many party members does it work properly with? So, will it look good if i had it on, and then went to a fight with five guys in my party?

[Blizzard]

Four.

[Holyrapid]

I guess i´ll have to just use four members...

[Blizzard]

Or change the script. It's like a few lines of editing.

[Holyrapid]

I´m getting an error with TONS part 2 when i try to reset using F12. Been getting it for some time, and dicided to see what causes it, and it looks like tons is colliding with itself, because i moved all other scripts after it under main. The problem appears to be something with font override. I´ll give you a pic of the error messge.

My error: ShowHide

So, what causes this, and how do i fix it? And Font override isn´t even on, and it still gives me that error.

[Blizzard]

Normal F12 crash. Just get the F12 fix. It's something Enterbrain messed up with RMXP and it can't be fixed.
The general problem with F12 is that instead of resetting the entire application, the scripts stay untouched. If you have used an alias anywhere, RMXP will do the alias again and on first occasion where the aliased method should be called, the crash happens.

[Holyrapid]

Oh, ok. Well, thanks. It´s good to know that it´s not something with Tons, or i´ve got a messed up version of RMXP. I´ll go get the patch now.
Except, that the site has apparently moved. (or was it RMXP.org that became HBgames...?) So, if anyone has this, please send me a download link via PM or something.

[Blizzard]

It was RMXP.org that became HBgames.

I thought Zeriab or me posted his F12 fix here. O_o

[Holyrapid]

Well, i´ll give it a better look, but at least the search didn´t find it when i used F12 as the search prhase.
