[XP] Blizz-ABS

[This Side Backwards]

@Blizzard: I have my scripts in the following order:

Skill Items (part of Tons of Addons)(I had to take it out and make it seperate because I was getting random errors with others from Tons.)
BABS Part 1
BABS Part 2
BABS Part 3
Winkio's HUD
Blizz Party Switcher

There doesn't seem to be any specific reason why I get the error...It's not a skill, just normal attacks. The error just seems to pop up every now and again while attacking. I understand if there's nothing that can be done about it...It's kind of a strange one...

[Blizzard]

Can you make a small demo? I'll take a look at that.

[Holyrapid]

Still haven´t got the thing to work... Maybe it has something to do with my scripts? If you think so, i´ll post my script listing.

[Blizzard]

If you have them in the right order, there shouldn't be problems. Make a small demo. And describe your problem more detailed if you can.

[This Side Backwards]

It's ok, I got rid of a few scripts from other sites that I wasn't using anymore. I don't get the error now. Sorry for wasting your time on that...
I'll check to see if the error had something more specific to it though.

I found some lil buggers:
1.- When you are trying to block atacks and get a status change (anything that inmobilizes your movement) the animation doesnt appear in screen and your character stays frozen in defense position..

2.-Can enemies use summon skills? they just wander around you, i know i can use Common events i just wanted to know 

3.-Can beams be represented graphically in some way as in XAS ??

[Blizzard]

1. Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.
2. Not yet, but I was going to implement to command to manually spawn enemies which would I combine to allow enemies to summon.
3. I planned on making beams work like weapon sprites. I don't use XAS so I don't know how do they work in XAS. An explanation would be nice.

I dont know either   but i think they could be made manually in the animation database, i think they can only be shown in a single direction tough:

Spoiler: ShowHide

it would be the caster animation, which creates another question..

463728.- can you fix battler direction so he cannot turn around??  

[Blizzard]

463728. *points to event command*

You can use caster animations normally in Blizz-ABS. Except that they don't apply to directions. That's where the sprite animation system comes in. In fact currently Blizz-ABS does take a file you need to name properly and simply use the image as a beam. If no image is present, the built-in image is being used.

Hey Blizz, I've been messing with this (in a fresh new game with no other scripts to test it out) as I am highly thinking of using it for one of my games. However the controls are a bit... out there. ;p Maybe cause I'm use to playing wow or something.

I saw on another forum/older thread how to make the arrow keys control movement and such in the config in the first script, and though it worked, the defaul;t STILL also controls movement. AND regardless if I turn on/off default controls, they STILL use some ofthe default controls along with whatevers set.

Some also don't work with the new controls at all.

Like I'd like to use space bar for jumping, enter for confirming shift/ctrl for sneek/run M for map, yada... yet even with them in, it again, is still using the default settings.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

any assistance?

[OracleGames]

Mmm a picture will never look as nice as a complete animation
so i think i will rip one from a commercial game..

However the controls are a bit... out there.

It would be very nice if you could use a joystick to play RPG maker games indeed 

[Blizzard]

It was posted several times by now that there are programs to map keyboard keys to joysticks. -_-

[Taiine]

Umm.. yeah.. that's nice.. and also not what I asked. 

[Aqua]

Blizz responded to what Oracle said...
>.>

[Blizzard]

@Taiine: Are you using the configuration application? If yes, have you copy-pasted the configuration script into the script editor, if no, have you configured the script manually?

[wolfspirit]

And i'm back with more questions to harass you. 
Ok here's the problem, i'm trying to change my actors graphic as soon as he weres something like a sword as example and this works flawless, but only if i'm not using blizz-abs.
Is there any possibility that I can make it work flawless and use blizz-abs at the same time?

[nathmatt]

Spoiler: ShowHide

For some reason you cant use the move event 1 to change actors graphic

edit was answering wolfspirit

[Blizzard]

I'm not sure what both of you want. -_- Could you explain it better?

[Taiine]

Yes I used the config, and yes even tried it manually. Regardless it is still using the dwefault controls even when I set it to REMOVE the default button.



And a new issue. I tried dumping this in my 'script combatable' test game that just.. has all the scrips I use dumped in for testing if they work together, and thus fare...they do.. or did.

This just throws off so many errors in other scrips. I try and rearange things and it pops an error in another script. Reguardless of where I move things your battle system causes conflicts in just about every script I use!
I even tried startring with it at the bottom, and every conflict I'd push that script below the battle system. But then another would have a fit, and that gets moved. before long your battle system is back at the very top and STILL throwing errors.

whats more annoying is the errors arn't about your script, it's poping up in all the others >.<

[Blizzard]

If you're getting that many errors, you must've messed up badly.

As for the controls, you did set CUSTOM_CONTROLS to true, did you?
