[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Blizzard]

Read the manual, specifically about those options.

[Jalm]

Whoops. Didn't read it closely enough. Sorry about that.

[Blizzard]

No problem.

v2.7 is up. Why already v2.7? There were some "major" changes. Hopefully this is the last time I have to edit something in the sprite animation system.

I got an error when trying to open the mini-map:

Spoiler: ShowHide

I use Winkio's Blizz-ABS Party HUD...dunno if that has anything to do with it?

[Blizzard]

Winkio needs to update his script. I changed some things in the most recent version. Basically you can just change dropped to dropped? and it should work for now.

[ShinyToyGuns]

Thanks, that worked

[winkio]

Ugh, now I need to update all my Blizz-ABS scripts.  I'm just going to wait until you are done with your updating spree.

[Blizzard]

Actually you can do it already. I'm not going to update Blizz-ABS except for bug fixes for a while.

[Ryex]

lol now not only is there a manual for the script but there is a separate manual about how to use its configuration!

[Blizzard]

That's only for manual configuration if you don't use Blizz-ABS Config.

EDIT: If you get the PROJItem bug, it's a typo. Just change it to SPRProjItem and it will be fine. In fact you can search your script for it right away. It appears 2 times in the script. I uploaded a fixed version.

[winkio]

ok, I'll start updating them soon then.

A. Event touch is screwed. If you take a look inside the project you'll see that an event touch event will not activate if the player is teleported on it. Without the BlizzABS it will activate no problem.

meh?

[Blizzard]

I didn't fix that yet. Don't worry, I might do it today.

Actually, Roses post reminded me that BABS somehow messes up teleporting... It´s done it me twice.
First time, i just placed it under main, ran the game in debug, and teleport worked. I changed BABS back to where it was, and teleport still worked. But, now i had that thing again, and that trick didn´t remedy it. Now, i think i may have had it set so that you land on another teleporting event... Is this a bug/problem? Or is just something wrong in my project?

[Blizzard]

Yeah, it's something with Blizz-ABS. I think it's something with the pixel movement.

Yeah I forgot about that. It does that to me too if there are two teleport event juxtaposed (not directly mind you) to each other.

Whee, more questions.

1) I've been tinkering around trying to figure out how to get an enemy to revive dead enemies, and that doesn't work, so after a while I figured that I could have a few spawn points around a stationary enemy, and upon the enemy's death, the respawn points get renamed. I don't think I'm doing it right.

The enemy event is ID003, "\e[3] \g[4]", with alignment 4 being Objects.
The respawn points are IDs 017-020, all named "\respawn[1]".

The code is:
Comment: Trigger:Death
Script: $game_map.rename_event(17, 'blah')
Script: $game_map.rename_event(18, 'blah')
Script: $game_map.rename_event(19, 'blah')
Script: $game_map.rename_event(20, 'blah')

The enemies keep respawning at those points, even though I renamed them. Know a way I can fix this, or at least make an enemy like that?

2) What does Charge do, anyway? The manual didn't really explain that.

3) How do I turn on hotkeys and the smaller minimap by default?

4) Defending reduces the damage from all directions, even if the player's shield isn't facing that way. I suppose there isn't an option to fix this, other than through some hard eventing?

Thanks again!

[Blizzard]

1. I don't think I made respawn dynamic so you can rename them and they will stop being respawn points. It was to improve performance a bit. In any case I'll change it.
And you can't revive dead enemies.

2. Charge up before executing the attack/skill/item, what else?

3. It's explained where the options themselves are explained in the manual.

4. No. There are several reasons why I did it this way. Even a script wouldn't be easy to make.

I keep getting this error when I start, just after the title screen;

Script 'Blizz ABS 2' line 8152: NameError occured.


uninitialized constant BlizzABS::Config::ABSEAL_FACTOR

[Blizzard]

Are you using v2.7? Did you regenerate the configuration? Did you apply G_G's fix just like that?! >8U
