That seems to be working, but I've also been noticing that whenever I make modifications, it only changes the 2nd column of skills, the one on the right, and on the left it remains unchanged.

Script Requests / Re: Disable using items on other characters?
November 08, 2013, 04:29:22 pm
I don't think any other scripts has anything to do with it.
draw_actor_exp(side_skill, x + (i%2)*260, y + i * 26 - 32, 180)
Anything I do to change it will only move it vertically. I cannot find a way to make this move be moved/squished horizontally. Even changing the 180 doesn't do anything.

I was able to get the "Lv" text off of the graphic, but yes, I did mess around with everything, including the 180, the -32, etc, but to no avail.

I meant to say squish horizontally, because it was taking up too much space, I can't get it to move right as well.
Also, how am I meant to move the "Lv" text off of the graphic?

But the experience bar is black, so the black text will mend in with the black bar.

This script is very good, no doubt about it.
I also like that you were able to fit the skills on the first menu!
Though, is it possible to move the text off of the pictures by moving them slightly to the right as well as squishing the experience bars slightly vertically, so that they don't interfere with the picture?
These are just aesthetic modifications, but I like it already how it is!
Edit: Also I seem to have a little problem ( I just noticed ) with some quests that require using an extra actor.
The only time I have another actor is during a battle where when you go into battle, a character is automatically added to your party, and once the battle is over, the battler is released.
It seems that the battler character only has 1 health or so because it gets killed in 1 hit, which is unfortunate.

This is the script used for the colored bars:
And I was thinking maybe of having some text at the bottom on the menu screen displaying the total level
class Game_Actor < Game_Battler
def now_exp
return @exp - @exp_list[@level]
end
def next_exp
return @exp_list[@level+1] > 0 ? @exp_list[@level+1] - @exp_list[@level] : 0
end
end

That's pretty interesting! I can't wait to get into coding next semester.
Also, I was wondering, is it possible to have each side-skill and the main character have a variable for their level so that all the levels can be added up and a total level can be displayed?
Thanks.

So... any updates?

Script Requests / Re: Disable using items on other characters?
November 05, 2013, 01:13:38 am
That sounds pretty nice.
How about if I decide to keep using the characters, would it be hard to grab the character X's data and use that to display the experience/skill in the new window.
The reason I would rather use the characters I already have is due to the fact that I've been in the development of this game for over 5 years now, so it would be almost a complete rewrite.
Also, to explain what the side-skills are, so you have an idea of what to place where:
-Fishing: Used to gather food, which would be eaten raw for a constant amount of health and magic restoration based on the tier of the seafood.
-Agility: Leveled up by completing courses which are essentially obstacle courses in which you just go round and around. Training agility unlocks shortcuts which saves time when crossing from one area to another without having to walk all the way around a large mountain or something like that. It is not a very useful skill, but I plan on giving it more uses soon.
-Legend: This is a dungeon exploring skill. During the game, a main dungeon is explored, which is where the player gains most of his/her levels. Though, there are 'world dungeons' which are dungeons that the player can raid that, once conquered can no longer be conquered again. Legend is useful to be able to fight higher level bosses in more difficult dungeons to potentially receive better loot.
-Farming: A passive skill. This means that you plant seeds while you train other skills. The downside of this skill is that you must be playing the game to have your plants grow. For players who want to accomplish some sort of goal, this usually means keeping the game on and racking hundreds of unnecessary game-hours, but that's not the major point. Due to the fact that it is not on the main tab because the player, fishing, agility, and legend are the 4 main characters, farming is only able to be trained in designated areas, which are isolated from the rest of the environment.
-Hunting: Same thing with farming about isolation. Hunting is a skill where a player can catch woodland creatures and considerably larger creatures like bulls and tigers later on for their pelts. With the pelts, players can craft armour which can increase chances of catching their prey.
-Building: Essentially a skill where a player builds a home. The isolation aspect of this skill works as it is meant to be in an isolated area, in the player's house. Players can use this skill to build furniture and cooking areas, (to cook which, which increases it's healing value) at lower levels, and gardens and dungeons at higher levels.
-Rogue: A skill which encourages a player to level his/her combat/main character's level. A player is given a randomly generated task from the various tasks implemented into the database, while still incorporating the player's combat and rogue level. The player is assigned to kill N amount of an X type of monster. When the player has finally killed enough monsters (the player can track his progress through an item in his/her inventory), he/she must return to the rogue master and will receive rogue experience alongside a number of rogue points which exponentially increases as the player's rogue level increases.
Rogue level is only displayed in the character menu when the player is in proximity of a rogue master, which could be quite inconvenient for those who want to check what rogue level they are during a rogue task.
-Plundering: A more story-based side-skill. Involves traveling to the a village in the Saharan desert, which potentially could make the player rich. The player teams up with some other thiefs and goes on a multitude of quests to gain loot or to gain the trust of the town's royalty just to get more loot.
Plundering is only shown when in the Saharan desert. This has restricted me from making any plundering uses outside of the Saharan village.
-Scroll-Making: This side-skill involves taking scrolls made from papyrus and infusing them with a spell at the respected obelisks. Scroll-making is meant to be for players who are keen to train magic or gain high level spells to ease transportation with new teleports, to gain more ease in combat with strengthened offensive spells, or simply to make life easier (enhancing speed, mixing multiple potions at one time...)
Scroll-Making only shows up when the player is in an obelisk realm. An obelisk realm can be accessed by little rainbows which are scattered over the world. They teleport the player to the realm, where the player can craft papyrus scrolls into spell scrolls.
-Herbalism: Uses 'special herbs' achievable only through combat at the moment, to make concoctions, which in conjunction with secondary ingredients, can make final potions which effectively boost the player's stats during combat, temporarily. Herbalism is only shown in the character slot in a single area, which makes it very confusing for people trying to level the skill as people have to constantly go back to this location to check their level.
-Holyness: This is the final skill. This skill incorporates the story/lore of the gods. Ferrous is a human who eventually rose to power with his charisma and his overwhelming support from the public and with his power, struck the two gods, 'good and evil' (not true names, but for simplicity) and banished them to another realm. These banished gods are needed for balance in the world, and without them, there is confusion and corruption spread across the world. The banished gods have found a slight rupture that gives them the ability to send messages to the realm the player is playing in.
The player cannot read all messages that the gods are sending though, and must start siphoning small messages, from which he/she learns to decipher more complex ones.
This skill serves a purpose towards the main story of the game, which is to bring down Ferrous, the corrupt leader.
By reading these, I hope you have a basic understanding of my game, and how to place these skill accordingly in the list.

-Farming: A passive skill. This means that you plant seeds while you train other skills. The downside of this skill is that you must be playing the game to have your plants grow. For players who want to accomplish some sort of goal, this usually means keeping the game on and racking hundreds of unnecessary game-hours, but that's not the major point. Due to the fact that it is not on the main tab because the player, fishing, agility, and legend are the 4 main characters, farming is only able to be trained in designated areas, which are isolated from the rest of the environment.
-Hunting: Same thing with farming about isolation. Hunting is a skill where a player can catch woodland creatures and considerably larger creatures like bulls and tigers later on for their pelts. With the pelts, players can craft armour which can increase chances of catching their prey.
-Building: Essentially a skill where a player builds a home. The isolation aspect of this skill works as it is meant to be in an isolated area, in the player's house. Players can use this skill to build furniture and cooking areas, (to cook which, which increases it's healing value) at lower levels, and gardens and dungeons at higher levels.
-Rogue: A skill which encourages a player to level his/her combat/main character's level. A player is given a randomly generated task from the various tasks implemented into the database, while still incorporating the player's combat and rogue level. The player is assigned to kill N amount of an X type of monster. When the player has finally killed enough monsters (the player can track his progress through an item in his/her inventory), he/she must return to the rogue master and will receive rogue experience alongside a number of rogue points which exponentially increases as the player's rogue level increases.
Rogue level is only displayed in the character menu when the player is in proximity of a rogue master, which could be quite inconvenient for those who want to check what rogue level they are during a rogue task.
-Plundering: A more story-based side-skill. Involves traveling to the a village in the Saharan desert, which potentially could make the player rich. The player teams up with some other thiefs and goes on a multitude of quests to gain loot or to gain the trust of the town's royalty just to get more loot.
Plundering is only shown when in the Saharan desert. This has restricted me from making any plundering uses outside of the Saharan village.
-Scroll-Making: This side-skill involves taking scrolls made from papyrus and infusing them with a spell at the respected obelisks. Scroll-making is meant to be for players who are keen to train magic or gain high level spells to ease transportation with new teleports, to gain more ease in combat with strengthened offensive spells, or simply to make life easier (enhancing speed, mixing multiple potions at one time...)
Scroll-Making only shows up when the player is in an obelisk realm. An obelisk realm can be accessed by little rainbows which are scattered over the world. They teleport the player to the realm, where the player can craft papyrus scrolls into spell scrolls.
-Herbalism: Uses 'special herbs' achievable only through combat at the moment, to make concoctions, which in conjunction with secondary ingredients, can make final potions which effectively boost the player's stats during combat, temporarily. Herbalism is only shown in the character slot in a single area, which makes it very confusing for people trying to level the skill as people have to constantly go back to this location to check their level.
-Holyness: This is the final skill. This skill incorporates the story/lore of the gods. Ferrous is a human who eventually rose to power with his charisma and his overwhelming support from the public and with his power, struck the two gods, 'good and evil' (not true names, but for simplicity) and banished them to another realm. These banished gods are needed for balance in the world, and without them, there is confusion and corruption spread across the world. The banished gods have found a slight rupture that gives them the ability to send messages to the realm the player is playing in.
The player cannot read all messages that the gods are sending though, and must start siphoning small messages, from which he/she learns to decipher more complex ones.
This skill serves a purpose towards the main story of the game, which is to bring down Ferrous, the corrupt leader.
By reading these, I hope you have a basic understanding of my game, and how to place these skill accordingly in the list.

Script Requests / Re: Disable using items on other characters?
November 04, 2013, 11:01:29 pm
This is what the menu looks like as of right now.
With all the skills included fit into this tiny menu, it would look a little cramped.
As shown below, there are all the side-skills in my game...
I'm currently using 'Multi-Slot Script" by Guillaume777, a very old script.
as well as "Menu-modification" from which I do not have an author.
I'll post the script here...
This script is meant to omit other characters' health and Magic.
Regarding your question about having stats displayed on a different scene, I think it might be inefficient due to the fact that the player doesn't even know what his/her stats are until they check their menu, so having to go through even more buttons might be irritating, and maybe even confuse some new players.
I saw some people having trouble finding where to equip items because they went to the item slot instead of the equipment slot.
The leveling/experiencing system is pulled from the original curvature, with some altered parameters for certain skills.
If it were possible, having an option to select the side-skill on the menu and pressing enter, which would bring up a kind-of guide which would display what the player could do at a certain level with that certain side-skill would be beneficial.
Also, having a level-up message each time a player levels up a certain skill would be nice for the player to determine when he or she has reached a goal.
(I tried doing this with one skill, and it ended up being a lot of switches which would turn on every time a player would level up, which was connected to a lot of different parallel events and would display a multitude of pictures that I drew myself, which would queue a certain animation. It came out to be 1000s of lines of code in the editor and it became hard to see because the window wasn't wide enough so the indenting eventually led me to not seeing some of the code... in the end it was just a nightmare.)
If it isn't possible though, it's okay.
Thanks for all your help by the way. It really does mean a lot to have someone help you.

Where would the side-skills be displayed then?
I do have a lot of trouble sometimes, because of the issue that only 4 characters are allowed to be in a party, I just set 3 side-skills as the default ones, and then whenever a player enters an area where another side-skill is used, I swap out the last character for the one that might be used, and when the player goes back or teleports out, I make sure that the character is switched back.

The thing is though, I had started making my game this way for a while now, and have grown used to it.
Plus, I don't want others to break their backs over making something huge for me.
I was just wondering whether it would be possible to omit the combat stats from the page and if I could get some help with that.
Also, I find it very interesting how people write code. I'm going into computer science, but I haven't taken computer science classes yet, though I know a little bit of java and a miniscule amount of ruby.
Maybe through reading some of the code that is presented, I could learn a thing or two.

That did help to an extent, thank you.
Though, I was wondering if it was possible to remove stats that display attack/defense bonuses, etc.
I know you might not approve of how I am using rpgmaker xp, but this is the way I used my characters.
Basically, I'm trying to get rid of where it says [normal], which is the state, where it says 'equipment', and all the stuff beneath.

I should mention that I am using Rpgmaker xp, and that yes, I am using the default battle system - but this is not a problem for battles, as I have manually removed all characters before entering a fight, and then adding them all on after the fight is over, so that they do not interfere with combat.
It is just a problem in the menu.

Script Requests / Disable using items on other characters?
October 31, 2013, 08:24:41 pm
So in my game, there are 4 characters in a party. Though, I wish to have only the first one be able to use items, heal, etc.
Also, I want to have it so that the other 3 characters' HP and MP do not show.
I was able to do this somehow with someone's help on the menu, but when I use a potion it shows the HP/Mp of other characters, which can be confusing, as these characters never use HP/MP.
If someone could help me out with this issue, that would be wonderful.
Thank you for your time.

I realized I wasa looking at the wrong thread when I accidently clicked on a link posted from the original thread. Sorry about that - but thank you for helping me. I owe you.
