That's it! N-Joy! =D

[Galatea]

OMG! Your a genius! Thx!

[Blizzard]

Lol, the script's been existing for like 10 months. xD

[Spoofus]

lol has it really?  ??? i been using the heck out of it in my game it fits what i need just perfect

[Blizzard]

You should try my other scripts, too. There are many useful scripts amongst them.

[Calintz]

Does this script automatically up the character's SP and HP, and you just add stats to everything else??

[Nortos]

yeah you don't do hp/sp

[Calintz]

Then I think I might use this...
It actually gives the user the ability to optimize their own characters as they see fit.

[Blizzard]

Yeah, it allows a system similar to Diablo 2 or MMOs like RO.

[Nortos]

goes well with the job system and ABS makes Diablo 2 style

[Blizzard]

Nobody likes my SDS. ._.

[legacyblade]

No, I think just less people are finding bugs with it than previous scripts. I personally use this, and it's the best one in my opinion.

[Blizzard]

LOL! Yeah, one of the reasons why I made this was because so many people complained about other buggy scripts. Did you know that the basic system for v1.0 took me a bit more than half an hour and the rest of the script around 2.5 hours? I practically made v1.0 of this script in 3 hours. o.o

[legacyblade]

That's a short amount of time, right? XD Yeah, I've used other ones, and in my opinion they suck

[Blizzard]

It's scarily short. Do you think you could pull off a system like this in 3 hours?

[legacyblade]

I figured it was short. But I thought maybe its a long time for the scripting god, XD

[Calintz]

Again...This is a beautiful script...
*adds to his game*

But like...
What would be the best way to call the scene from the map??
What would be your choice or method??

[Blizzard]

I'd make a parallel process common event that checks for button input (i.e. A which is SHIFT) to call it via the script call I described in the instructions. And I think I would definitely turn on the option to call it automatically after a battle when necessary.

[Calintz]

Haha...
I'm a genius!! I'm glad I thought of it =)

Lol, but that's what I was thinking.
I figure I'll make it a common event so I can turn it on at the beginning of the game, and presto!!

[Zinx10]

Nice script!
