General RGSS/RGSS2/RGSS3 Help

I'm making a title screen for GAX. And he wants the map as the background. Done. But he also wants events to execute while its on the map. How would I do this?

got also as far to add a map in the background. but failed to get stuff going on the map.
so if you figure it out can you plzz share it?

[G_G]

I figured it out. I'm going to ask GAX first if he cares if its publically released. I think a map as background would be interesting. Eh give me a few hours so I ca ask him when he gets on.

Better use a map as title screen. Seph made a script like that.

[G_G]

Its okay Blizz, I already got it. Shows map as background, and events work and everything.
And ew, Seph's stuff uses SDK.

[Blizzard]

Then make it better / an SDK-free version. xD

Okay I'm making a mouse plugin for Babs, really what I need to know is how to detect if the mouse is on an impassible area or an event

[Blizzard]

Better check the sprite. Or you can translate the mouse coordinates into pixel coordinates * 4 and using $game_map.display_x and $game_map.display_y you can match it with event real_x and real_y considering that an event side is 128x128 in that case.

how can I check the exp that was needed for the current lvl.
example:

Character is lvl 25
got a total of 500 exp

I want to know how I can check how much exp was needed to get to lvl 25 (for example 475 exp)

[Blizzard]

This has the EXP needed for that level.

@exp_list[level] # inside Game_Actor

[Jackolas]

probably because of my crap scripting skills:

undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass

[G_G]

place this code in your script

class Game_Actor
  attr_accessor :exp_list
end

[Jackolas]

did not work :S

[G_G]

Works for me. You have to place this in a new script or in yours.

class Game_Actor
  attr_accessor :exp_list
end

Call the actors exp with this

$game_actors[id].exp_list[level]

[Jackolas]

nvm.. just noob scripting on my part

[G_G]

I know we can use dll's in RGSS but can we use dll's coded in c#? If so how do we call the dll and call a method? I want to experiment with something.

[Blizzard]

You need to "Add a reference" in your C# project to the DLL.
