[XP] Global Day-and-Night System for RMX-OS

[Blizzard]

I put up a piece of security code for that. That shouldn't happen anymore.

ok kool well ill check it out later now i need to copy both scripts on just the rb portion

[Blizzard]

Actually only the RB portion, but best you get the extension as well because of the version variables.

awsom it works now thx blizzard

How exactly do I set this up?

I am getting this error: "Script ATES line 486: NoMethodError occured"... "undefined method 'updated_screen' RMX-OS-Main 46"

This is roughly my load order:

(RMX-OS) Options
(RMX-OS) Scripts
ATES
(RMX-OS) Global Day & Night

[Blizzard]

Compatibility

99% compatible with SDK v1.x. 90% compatible with SDK 2.x. WILL corrupt old savegames. Can cause incompatibilty issues with DNS-es.

That means that you have to wipe your database after adding/removing ATES and this plugin.

Great I will try this. Also, what do you think of RMX-OS/RPG Maker XP Creating a full-scale MMORPG?

I am considering this, and Genesis2D, just don't want to run into many limitations.

[Blizzard]

As far as I know there are other fullscale RMXP MMOs out there and they are using Netplay+ or some derivative. RMX-OS was designed to be better than Netplay+. So if they could make a game with Netplay+, you should be able to make one with RMX-OS.

Other than that, I'm actually against MMOs made in RMXP because RMXP isn't really the right engine for an MMO. But suit yourself. If you want to use RMXP, by all means, good luck.

[Equinox80]

Well I suppose it's really all up to the person.

I myself like RMXP, maybe not for an MMO, but I know and have used RPG Maker 98, 2000, 2003, XP, and VX.

PS: VX Sucks, they removed very important features in that version....

[Blizzard]

I only used RMXP and I liked it. When I saw VX, I hated it, too. xD

Hello! For some reason, the controller is causing an error when passing some certain arguments.The script works fine on its own (not globally of course, but no errors either) and will cycle through an entire day/night no problem. But when I add the extension and the RMX-OS Controller, I get this error.

Script 'ATES RMX-OS Controller' line 68: ArgumentError occurred.

Wrong number of arguments(2 for 6)
ATES RMX-OS Controller:68:in 'initialize'
ATES RMX-OS Controller:68:in 'new'
ATES RMX-OS Controller:68:in 'check_game_blizzabsrmxos_later'
Blizz-ABS RMX-OS Controller:490:in 'check_game'
(RMX-OS) Script:845:in 'listen'

6080:in 'update'

5333:in 'loop'
5338:in 'main'
-<:::RMX-OS Main:::>-:46

I went through and made sure that the day length in the script and extension are the same, cleared my rmx-os database, and still cant figure out what's causing it.

Edit :: Here's my script order, but I'm pretty sure it should be fine.

RMX-OS Options
RMX-OS Script
Global Switches and Variables for RMX-OS

ATES
ATES RMX-OS controller

Blizz ABS 1
BABS 2
BABS 3
BABS RMX-OS Controller

RMX-OS Main

Here's my script order, but I'm pretty sure it should be fine.

This says otherwise.

[MisterMoxxie]

I switched it so ATES is below BABS, and cleared the database again, but Im getting the same error. And when I say cleared the database, I actually drop it and re-query the whole thing.

[Blizzard]

Which ATES version are you using? Because it's been updated recently and I never actually updated this script to work with it.

[MisterMoxxie]

Ahh, didnt even think to look at that.
I'm using ATES v1.0 - which is actually dated 12.2.2013 xD - and the controller is v1.03: 24.5.2010.
Looks like the controller was written for version 0.4, at least that's what it checks for.

[Blizzard]

Yeah, Thallion finished ATES and I haven't updated this script. I completely forgot about that. I'll do it tomorrow or on Saturday when I find some free time.

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot that this script is laughably short. I'll do it right away.

[MisterMoxxie]

 

Thanks, Blizz! I was worried. I need to learn RGSS so I don't have to bug other people when these things pop up. On that side note, im headed to the programming forum. Any tips to learning RGSS?

[Blizzard]

I just realized that the new ATES has a completely different handling and display of time. It'll take a bit longer to update this script so I'll leave it for tomorrow or Saturday after all.

My best tip for learning RGSS is that you take other people's scripts and start messing with them. Change stuff and see what happens. Try to figure out how code changes reflect on the script, what each part does and how it's structured. Other than that, this is a good place to start: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,57.0.html

[MisterMoxxie]

Sounds good, I'll look into that. Any luck so far? 

[Blizzard]

Sorry, I was really busy the past few days. But I'll see if I can get it done by Wednesday as I have finished most of the other urgent stuff as I should have more free time. I was going to do it today, but the other things stretched out too much and I ended working on it until 22h so I was too tired to work on this, too.
