Topics

I've been away for few months forgot to say so sorry but had family troubles, exams and other real life issues a lot.
But luckily for all of you I'm back now  ;D so have I missed much?
By way, I'll be working heavily on my game again and won't be doing much graphics or script work.

  # 
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #  INTRODUCTION:
  #
  #  This script is not a battlesystem but a graphic overlay system that can con-
  #  vert a frontview 'Strategy'  battlesystem into a Sideview battlesystem.   It
  #  has gone through a number of changes over the months that I have put my spin
  #  on the system, originally coded by Minkoff himself.
  #
  #  As of now, this system works  with the default battlesystem, the RTAB system
  #  by Cogwheel, ParaDog's ATB, XRXS's system,  and a number of systems designed
  #  by Trickster.
  #
  #  Again,  this system  changes the  'graphic'  overlay system  and is meant to
  #  change the battlers  and battler's startup positions  for a sideview system.
  #  It is not meant  to alter  anything else,  including combat values,  defense
  #  levels, or any other graphics other than those related to the battlers them-
  #  selves.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #  REGARDING:
  #  Skill and Item Scopes:
  #  Until recently,  the revised system did not allow  for target scopes beyond
  #  a single target.  This was unintentional and unforseen.   However, with the
  #  revision made in version 7.3, this was corrected. But, skills or items that
  #  have a target scope of  'None'  would still create an error if this form of
  #  attack is set in either $moving_item_atk or $moving_skill_atk hashe arrays.
  #  Don't supply the id #'s of any 'None' scope skills/items into these hashes.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #  COMPATABILITY ISSUES:
  #
  #  RTAB:  Connected Attacking
  #  A powerful add-on to the RTAB system by Cogwheel, this script allows an ac-
  #  tor to apply multiple hits on a target.  At first, there was no auto-detect
  #  feature which gave ME MIGRANES... having to use insert switch in the config
  #  section.  Now there is one.  The only caveat is that you must STILL comment
  #  out or remove the entire 'action_phase' routine in Con. Attacking (which is
  #  roughly lines 30 to 80).
  #
  #  LARGE PARTY (Fomar0153's)
  #  In order  to take advantage of the 'Large Party' system,  and still keep the
  #  actors and enemies in the proper viewport,  the second half of Fomar's Large
  #  Party script (the Battlestatus Page) must be placed under Animated Battlers.
  #  The first page  must still  be pasted  above the  battlesystem script(s)  as
  #  before.  Please follow all of Fomar0153's instructions as always.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #   ADDITIONAL CALLS AVAILABLE PRIOR TO COMBAT:
  #
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  SIDEVIEW MIRROR:     This value switches  the positions  of both enemies and
  #                       heroes to opposite ends of the screen.
  #
  #   Script : $sideview_mirror = [number]
  #   number : a value indicating whether the hero & enemy positions are switched
  #            0 = Default:  Enemies on the left, Heroes on the right
  #            1 = Switched: Heroes on the left, Enemies on the right
  #
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  BATTLER FORMATIONS:  This value changes the way your heroes line up when the
  #                       battle starts.
  #
  #   Script : $formation_style = [number]
  #   number : a value indicating the type of formation your heroes will use
  #            0 = Diagonal (Default)    4 = Column Pattern 1
  #            1 = Diagonal Pattern 2    5 = Column Pattern 2
  #            2 = Slanted Pattern 1     6 = Wave Formation 1
  #            3 = Slanted Pattern 2     7 = Wave Formation 2
  #
  #            8 = Randomized (system will choose from 0 to 7)
  #
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  FORMATION OPTIONS:   These values  may expand your system  to go beyond the
  #                       default four player system.
  #
  #   Script : $formation_max_member = [number]
  #   number : A value indicating the maximum number of members in your party.
  #             (default = 4)
  #             
  #   Script : $formation_max_height = [number]
  #   number : A value indicating (in pixels) the top height of your party shown
  #            in the Battle Screen.  The higher the number, the lower the party
  #            on the screen. (default = 220)
  #
  #   Script : $formation_max_width  = [number]
  #   number : The left/right width of the party's formation.  (default = 128)
  #
  #   Script : $battlestatus_height = [number]
  #   number : The actual height of your battlestatus window. (default = 160)
  #
  #  NOTE: The combined $formation_max_height and $battlestatus_height determines
  #        the vertical distance between battlers in their formation.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #

Hey guys I've been researching it and I can't find anything really but I was wondering the legal issues of this.
If my game was NOT commercial and I decided to rip some of my game soundtracks like Guild Wars and Valkerie Profile would this be illegal? The parts I've read about says that it's illegal to distribute copies of your music and someone I know thinks that they would just have a free copy of the music when they play your game, I would of course encrypt it with DREAM but would this be illegal or legal?

rofl these make me lmao watch them they're worth it and it's an awesome game all the ranged attacks you use u guide with ps3 six axis
Also all boss voices except for Whiptails r done by the person who did Gollum in Lord of the Rings

Hey guys I was told today about someones opinion on something some pple say it's an urban myth but others say it's not.
If you have a large folder of stuff on your desktop (say a folder devoted to all RMXP stuff ) does it run slower than if it's placed in ur c or e drive? I think it's an urban myth I just wanted to check...

Author's Notes

Today I completed my first script(s), I hope you guys like them, ones just an easy edit of the other.

Hey guys the produces of Bioshock released it's soundtrack to the public you can download the official MP3's  ;D here's a link http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2007/08/24/bioshock-soundtrack-mp3s-for-download/

I'll start off here's some my CBS and a cave map
CBS
Cave
Oh and ty for comment on old forum Blizz  first cave I've ever made
Also with that pic where Lilith is inverted, is't because she's dead?

Hey guys atm I'm working on what would be a cool class for a charecter in my game


that's her
Now I originally thought of her as a white mage but that is really cliche considering she's a princess and ect here are some options I had thought and please post anything you think to make her (I would prefer to have some supporter because I'll only have 4 playable charecters in the game and one of them is a scout assassin type and the other is a hunter)
Summoner
Zealot's Warrior (Uses Light magic as a weapon and smites her enemys)
Necromancer??? and I do a recolour of her making her darker
Evoker (Hybrid Mage)
Valkerie (Uses sword and holy magic)

[Background Story:]

Here's my first project I've made using RMXP it's a solo project and I'm looking at around a 10hr game nothing big cos I also want to keep moding games and various other things

DEMO

TRAILER VIDEO

No audio and it's a bit laggy but here you go it's a video of one of the first cut scenes in game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umI3C9sPKPI

Background Story: ShowHide

Background Story:

   In an aged passed, an age of great turmoil and grief, civil wars across the nations and the death of countless thousands caused an evil of great power to break her seal. This evil was named Breesha by her followers by all others she was despised as Ashling the Dark Mistress of Dreams.

   She and her followers claimed lands quickly, pitting their human emotions against them; one by one she tortured, bribed or compelled them to fulfill her wishes.

In four Months from her escape she had control of the greatest nation in the world, and was moving onto Thorn's rival Nations. The only deifiers left with their sanity and lives were the Clans and a small group of Heroes.

   These heroes were Bearach the Captain General, Cara of the Eagle Clan, Luan the mysterious mage of Sheere, and the Chosen Prophesied one Nyla.

   This small group waited until Ashling had sent her forces against her opposing Nations, and then they ventured into the dark twisted realms of Ashling which was once their beloved Kingdom, there they were fighting for their very sanity.
   
   Once they reached Ashling they fought a battle that shook the very founding's of the land itself. Ashling overpowered them and all hope looked lost, until Nyla fulfilled her prophecy and sacrificed herself to seal Ashling's Prison.

   The age passed and entered a new age of peace and prosperity, and little of this conflict is remembered except by the clans.

   If ever again the lands are in such turmoil Ashling will feed on that power and break her seal, the only one then able to stop her would be the Prophesied one.      
                                                               Prophecy of the Dark Mistress
                                                               098 The 7th Age Maolcholm Stra.

   The clans have questioned whether or not they can rely on humans and so they have drawn out the very grains themselves from the Hourglass of Ages to make a weapon that can questionably not just seal Ashling but destroy her. This weapon is guarded by the fierce Wolf Clan

   On the Continent of South Adeall Thorn and Lean questionably the two most powerful nations in the world have had border conflicts and countless wars started and ended and once again the attacks have started, but not just on this Continent.
   Reports have been flowing that the Continent of Radona is getting ready for war, and everywhere the clans are despised, called half breeds and in human scum for centuries now humans have been doing inhuman racial acts against the clans.

   The clans are growing few in numbers and some have gone all but extinct. The only animal clans left are clans that either have the gift of wings or shadows.
