Yay, the BlizzABS is getting some XAS style functionality, the ability to make puzzles (its done different in XAS, so no worries, anything can check if its been hit by anything, so you can make cuttable grass!)

Blizzard

But most probably I won't implement combos. Most probably doesn't mean no, though. The allies being able to perform combos would the the hardest part to do.

No combos is fine with me. Just as long as the party has AI!

Valcos

Yeh, how would you make the party have ai?!? ??? If you do throw that in there :P

you should make the hud look better & a lockpicking system

Nortos

lockpicking wouldn't be too hard :P (for Blizz :)) also doesthe HUD have faceset support? that would be easy to do Blizz if not

Blizzard

I tried to make the HUD as small as possible to avoid wasting space. You can easily script a faceset feature, you just need to find the space. :P
And yeah, the allies' AI will be based on the enemies' AI. I just need to make the allies be able to follow the same pattern and then change some of the basics of the enemy AI to support some ally specific features.

Hey, here's an idea that should rather go into the Blizz-ABS thread. Why don't you make it possible for others to make HUDs for Blizz-ABS (different layouts)? Don't change the technical part, but just the code, like the width and stuff.
Do you like ambient/electronic music? Then you should promote a talented artist! Help out here. (I'm serious. Just listen to his work at least!)

Because the HUD can be disabled and somebody can simply use an external HUD. (-_-')
Actually they can. They only have to modify the "Hud" class. Just modify the draw_something methods and def initialize, it's not difficult. Somebody would still be able to use the key assignment display along with the minimap, the HUD's layout would just be different. Of course, somebody would have to know how to script then. (-_-')

EDIT:

Quote3.4. Enhancing Blizz-ABS

You have made a plug-in for Blizz-ABS and want to share it? But you are afraid maybe it won't work or could cause problems and incompatibility issues? No problem! You can check if the Blizz-ABS script is available and after that check its version. Otherwise you can just throw out a message. Just Check the global variable $BlizzABS and if its value is true, you can check the Blizz-ABS version by using BlizzABS::VERSION and even the edition by using BlizzABS::EDITION. Here is a simple example:

if $BlizzABS != true || BlizzABS::VERSION < 1.24 || BlizzABS::EDITION != 'Compact!'
  p 'YOUR_SCRIPTNAME_HERE needs Blizz-ABS of version 1.24 or higher ' +
     'and Edition "Compact!". RMXP will now close'
  exit
end

would be pretty easy though and they could easily add in facesets as well or even background images

Fantasist

I get your point Bliz, but
QuoteBecause the HUD can be disabled and somebody can simply use an external HUD. (-_-')

Which could lag if not properly made, and why going through the trouble of using another HUD and disabling the Blizz-ABS HUD which works so nicely without lag? But yeah, it's already like that. The new plug-and-play HUDs will just be mods of the HUD class. I didn't realize ^_^

but what about different skins for the mini map, hud, the other thing that shows skills. make a folder for the skin, and players can make there own skins and then theres an option of what skin you would like to use... do you understand what I'm trying to say, kuz it sounds confusing to me...

Blizzard

I use sprites, not windows for the HUD to minimize lag. That's why windowskins practically won't work.

  • the Banana now can retrieve distant dropped items
  • quick switch of weapons on the map if you press Q/E (special unreleased plugin for Blizz-ABS)
  • using wall tags, swimming and many other features that were not used before
  • the game has SDK 2.3 installed to demonstrate compatibility with Blizz-ABS

No, FTS is right. It wasn't even close to a pain as I thought it would be. I was surprised that I made Blizz-ABS so well that it was no problem at all. Blizz-ABS FTW!
