There's the problem, it looks like this script changes the price based on an amount of items. So it's probably adding that to the tax.

Post the custom shop script, I'm curious to see what they did to fuck up my tax script.

I'll look into that.

I think you've screwed this up, it's working for me. Post whatever event commands you're using.

Version 2.0 is out.

This version will increase compatibility; allowing it to work with some custom shop systems.

I think we may have been misunderstanding each other, I was under the impression he was calling the idea of hiding the character's backstory bullshit; it should be hidden until the player should care about the character enough to sit through the cutscene.

But yeah, me and modern are finishing up the story first.

Oh, I may be understanding this wrong, weren't we talking about character background?

If we're talking about the world background, then I totally agree with you.

You act like that's uncalled for, you did call my ideas crap also.

QuoteAlso, the fact hat you leave the background a mystery is....to put it lightly it's crap. It's a plot coup[on, free plot somewhere in the story so that you don't have to develop it elsewhere. Look at great stories, Catcher in the Rye, Lolita, War and Peace, and Brothers Karamazov and you see they don't use this bullshit plot device to fabricate a plot but use development in an effort to expel the character. The plot is also quite dynamic, not flipping back to fix holes in itself as it has the ability to do without them.


I already explained why I wouldn't reveal the characters story early on, and why I thought that was a stupid idea; I'm not going to bore the player by showing him backstory they won't give a shit about. Now, I'm not going to argue with you over a book, but in video games, that won't work.

Just curious, do you actually have a game demo or something, I've never seen the idea of revealing background early used.

That would suck. There's only one character who has a sad past. Tyrius just has an interesting one, but nothing that can't be explained fully in a cutscene or two.

Books and Video Games are very different. Volrath, the writer of Master of the Wind, basically said something along these lines, "Why would I make the player sit through long cutscenes for a character they don't even care about?" Me and modern don't plan to release every detail before the story starts. Give the player something to look for. Put hints about the past in the game, but don't reveal it in the first hour or two. Frankly, I believe that idea of revealing everything early is one of the most incredibly stupid ideas I've heard.

No offense of course xD

Script forum has made me much more of an asshole I suppose. I think Zxmelee and I are the only people who get ticked off easily on RMRK. We all do enjoy a flame war though.

If you're going to leave, at least leave for two weeks, lol.

Looks good, is this the sequel to the insanity I've heard so much of?

You guys apparently think I want help with this game. If someone can't even attempt to use capitalization and grammar, then I don't want them on my team. Not to mention, if they don't post examples, they're probably not experienced anyways. As the moderator of the most noob infested forum on RMRK, it's my duty to be an ass to noobs; so, I'm really not going to listen much to y'all, sorry 'bout that.

Tyrius is the typical blunt and crass character, he has a rather interesting past though, but that will be revealed in the game.

Chaze, I'll throw that comment right back at you for your game :P

Me and modern don't need anyone who can't even take the time to make a forum post with proper grammar and spelling.

25 Maps during the school year, that seems a bit too much to me. I also think the default database may put off some people who would join, I've considered joining some of Arrow's game of the week contests, but with a sideproject based on one of my game's characters; I'd want to keep their skills and whatnot, and I wouldn't want to worry about the storyline.

Other than that, this sounds fun; hope it turns out well :)

God I hate bumping. -.-

May as well say that the battle system idea is fully implemented. I'd like some feedback on it; if people think I should scrap it, I'd like to know before we proceed further XD

While it adds the variable to the actor class, the luck only factors in battle. So it really would go in neither.

@THM
Yeah, you can do that, the problem is the window; custom shops won't display the tax %.


@Blizzard
Holy shit. 2.0 may be coming soon XD

The shop system would still need to be edited for the tax % to appear though.

Ripping and compiling things into the right format can be a bitch to do, anyone who puts a good amount of time and work should be credited, period.
