Blizz, you should probably put something in your signature along the lines of

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT BLIZZ ABS, READ THE MANUAL UNTIL YOUR EYES TURN PURPLE!

On another note, would you mind pointing me to the chapter of the manual or the topic where it has the ways you can manipulate the caterpillar?

[Blizzard]

IDK, winkio apparently changed the manual.

Right, thanks.

Hey guys!

I'm new on this forum but I have been using it for a while because its scripts are awesome


And, I had a problem with the move speed while using the blizz abs.

Here's my question: How can I change the movement speed during the game? I mean...
I'm running at speed = 4 and now I want the character to run at speed 5, how can I do it?

I want the normal speed to be 3.5 and the running speed 4.5 and I don't know how to do it.

NOTE: I want to change the speed IN-GAME, while playing. You're running at 3'5, you talk with an NPC and then you're running at 4'5. Ok?

If ya can solve it...


Thanks.

I don't know about the halves, but you can change the speed in part one of the script under movement configuration.

[Blizzard]

Don't use decimal moving speeds as it can make your game glitch and your character miss positions.

On page 96 of this thread, there is a BlizzABS MMO Edition that sounded interesting.
Anyway I could get a hold of that? I obviously just completely missed it in my time away from here for like, a week some time ago, lolz.

Also, I see that a month ago G_G asked about event creation via script calls, has there been any progress towards that? Seemingly, as with everyone else that asked about it in this huuuuuuge thread, we all want to be able to spawn monsters or whatever with script calls essentially, and it can't be done simplistically without something of this nature v.v

Blizz-ABS MMO Edition is a very old thing where I made Blizz-ABS work with Netplay+. Forget about it, Blizz-ABS can run on the far superior RMX-OS.

[Nixeto]

Then, is no-one gonna answer me?

Just something like CALL SCRIPT, $game_player.move_speed = 4.5 or something like this, but I don't understand the Blizz ABS Script, then only the creator can help me!

I was more interested in the scriplets/scripts within that allowed that "standard MMO feel" ie: mouse hovering with names, the info window, etc. Just me trying to analyze scripts in effort to understand and further my Ruby/rgss knowledge.

@legacyblade:: hey btw, I think it was in the blizzABS topic, but did you end up succeeding in replicating actor data for enemies? ie: using arshes actor stats and such as stats for defined enemies?

[legacyblade]

Naw, I wasn't able to figure it out. I don't have the skills Winkio does with blizzABS

[winkio]

IDK, winkio apparently changed the manual.

Not yet.  But if you are having trouble finding anything, you can use the search tab inside the manual.

coming in either 2.9 or 3.0

I've been thinking about adding more support for something to this effect.  Basically being able to create actor battlers that use an actor data instead of enemy data.  You could make NPCs, enemies, bosses, or whatever you saw fit with it.  Might be in 2.9, might be in 3.0.

[Jragyn]

Ahh well, no rush, I'm still hanging on the edge of my seat for 2.8 and a nice and thorough 'dummies explanation' of combos in the manual, lol.

WOOO! Update! Keep working wink, you rock!

[legacyblade]

winkio, if you added that NPC feature, we'd officially have ALL the features needed to make an elder scrolls game in RMXP o.o RMorrowind anyone? This has the potential to be more amazingly epic than any 2D game engine to date.

[The Niche]

The problem with amazingly epic scripts is, as I know understand, they make people believe that storylines are no longer required. Which wastes everyone's time.

[legacyblade]

You could say the same about any great engine or technological advancement. Just look at the storyline of avatar for example Just don't play the crappy games that ignore story.

[Blizzard]

Avatar's story is a ripoff from Pocahontas and Dances with Wolves with fancy CG graphics and everything happening in space. Am I right or am I right? xD

[legacyblade]

Yup. I enjoyed the story for the nostalgic value (I used to read a lot of poorly written pocahontis rippoffs because the only fantasy books my mom got me were "Christian friendly"), but continually chuckled at how unoriginal it was. Though you do gotta love all the eyecandy.
