Hello..
Years ago there was an rpg-maker project opened to collaboration. That game was began on 2011, and was active by its founders until 2013 or so. The game had an hiatus, being still active but like in pause. Was done in RPG Maker XP.
I took part for some graphic content in the end of that first period.
Around 2017 the game, still incomplete, was nearly abandoned. I began to collaborate more: I did maps, events, graphic part.. a bit of all that I knew a bit about.
the people who created had gone, but I had a github fork and the main page linked to mine for the updates.
Then i broke my right arm two times. Github banned my account for some of the graphic parts that i had made years ago.
And i left.
But.. when i left, the other collaborators quit too. The forum where the discussions took part disappeared.
And the game was then abandoned.
My mail was on the changelog.. so, someone, the last october, wrote to me asking about the game.
He told me that he could help to end it. That still there was some people interested.
I found the old files and retook the project with the purpose of ending it.
When that guy, who was a programmer, had rpg maker and saw the mess that was the code.. well, he quit.
I've been developing the story, making new maps, characters, events, scenes.. in order to make the end that the game always deserved. That has been on the last months.
For the final stages is required a full use of skills, since is time for the final bosses.
Someone, years ago, added Blizz-ABS on the game. Version 2.80
I tried to update it, but then the game just dont work. Gets frozen.
There is a pair of things that i've been trying to fix in the code, checking the location of them. I don't know if someone will be able to help me in this.
by one side, there is a minimap. I've seen, in the code, how to change the position and size of the minimap when is in full screen. But I'm unable to find a way to put the minimap when is in its tiny size in the bottom left part of the screen. Now is in the bottom right part of the screen. In rpg-maker, the image of the character is in the same area, bottom right, so i'm trying to put that tiny map on the bottom left to help the playability and avoid overlaping.
Does anybody know how can i do that?
The second question is about skills:
Some skills seems to require a hotkey. the menu for assigning items and skills for the hotkeys can be modified. I've seen it on the code of the game. Took me a while to find the numbers, but i managed to do it.
But.. once you have chosen your hotkeys, there is a menu on the left of the screen: a vertical bar: black squares and white numbers for empty positions, icons of the chosen skills or items for the hotkey assigned. But.. problems:
while the arrow that indicates the position goes from mid screen to the bottom, the bar itself only occupies and area in the mid hight of the screen, so the arrow and the positions don't match. Also, due the tiny portion of the screen that occupies that bar, the icons are overlapped.
I've tried to see how i can enlarge that bar, but I've been unable. All that i've managed is to barely change its position as a whole or by parts, but not its size.
So.. those are my problems right now: an old version of blizz-abs, a code worked by several people in several years, and an interface that needs some retouches.
Can anyone help me on this?
I'm not a programmer myself. And I'm not native english speaker either. I beg perdon if i've done grammar or vocabulary mistakes.
I've just created an account here just to ask this help. I don't know what else I can do. I've tried everything.
