[XP] Blizz-ABS

[legacyblade]

I have both a bug and a question.

First is that even when I set bouncing damage to false, the damage display still bounces as if it were activated.

My question, however, is if there is a way to hide the display of damage. I'm using a more zelda like system in my game, and seeing "1" every hit looks really stupid

BABS Part 2, around line 4000 should be this code:

def request_damage_sprite(char, damage = nil)

Just put "return" (without the double quotes) below it and that's it.

@HD:

$data_skills[ID].element_set.include?(ELEMENT_ID)

[legacyblade]

Thanks Lethal-Yarn, works perfectly. *powers up*

[rpgmakerfanhaha]

I know it's gonna to be a bit dumb question.how can I open up the menu and set the skills as the hotkeys?


[EDIT]
Alright,but how can I open the pre-menu?

[Blizzard]

There's a hotkey menu in Blizz-ABS's pre-menu.

If you're using the default settings from B-ABS, you use F.

Also, read the manual because it tells you simple stuff like this.

[legacyblade]

I feel really dumb asking questions for some reason, but here's another one. How would I make a skill increase the walk AND run speed? I've gotten one that increases the walk speed, but it would be nice to also change the run speed as well.

[G_G]

Common Events?

[Lethal-Yarn]

That would change walk speed, but I too wouldn't know how to change run/sneak speed.  I think when I was searching the forums back then, I *think* what I read was that it isn't possible to do that.

Hi, i have few problems with the script. First is the force action command it doesn't work for me it just do nothing, and second problem is when I create NPC after I talk to him everytime I touch him he starts talking. I hope you can find solution to it and sorry if I made any mistakes I'm still learning English.

[Magus]

Found a rare bug in the defend loop animation.
When I defended, the loop continued even after I let go of the defend-button. It wouldn't let me move or anything D:
Luckily my Al was alive, so I switched to him and was able to move with him. I switched back to Mario and the defend loop finally wore off about 10 seconds later.

[Blizzard]

I'll check that.

I need help


I just downloaded Blizz ABS and I put all the code in but in part 2 somethings wrong. Everything works fine until I try to load saved game data, as soon as I try I get this

'Blizz ABS part 2' line 1485: TypeError occurred. nil can't be coerced into Fixnum

[Aqua]

Was the saved game data from before you added Blizz-ABS?
If it is, then there's no way to save it; you'll have to start a new game.

If you got pretty far in your work, its a pain, but with blizz-abs IT'S WORTH IT!

[winkio]

don't post the same question in a bunch of different topics.

Blizz-ABS doesn't work with old save files, just make new ones.
