[XP] Blizz-ABS

[Memor-X]

there's a script that does that and replaces the HP and SP bars with images, you can easily create a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time heart and magic icons, here's the link

I've done some more testing for the enemies passing through you, and so far I've only ever been able to get it to happen when an enemy has been hit with knockback. I'm not entirely sure just yet, since I've had one playtester for me have it happen randomly once during everything without hitting the enemy and it might be where I've just had no luck getting it to repeat again without the knockback. I'm just a layman though. x.x

[Boba Fett Link]

Actually, an interesting thing I noticed is that when they are moving through unpassable areas, if you can figure out where they are going to come out of the unpassable areas, you cannot walk on that spot and can attack that spot you can damage and/or kill the enemies.

[winkio]

I think I figured it out.  If an enemy gets hit in the middle of moving from one tile to another, the knockback instantly cancels the movement and they get to make another.  Basically, while moving from A to B, they get hit and reset, and try to move from A to B again.  However, they count as already being at B, so the passability calculations get mixed up allowing them to move through impassable stuff.

I'm not going to have the rewrite done any time soon, so I'm considering just putting out an update to 2.84 with some bugfixes.  Just FYI.

Hi!

I was wondering how you would disable the bounce damage for SP loss/gains but keep the bounce damage for HP loss/gains. I looked in the manual and didn't see it and I really would like it off.

I run my game where the main character has a replenishing SP (like Rogue / Hunter from WoW) and every time damage is dealt, it shows the SP gain.

Thank you!

Hi there,

i wanted to ask, if it is possible to make this 'smooth scroller module' script compatible to the ABS.
It makes the scrolling of the games... more... smooth.

How do I make bosses with Blizz-ABS? Anyone? Please help...

How do I make bosses with Blizz-ABS? Anyone? Please help...

It depends on the way your boss is acting. As example you can make one out of a few body parts.


Is there no way to make this script compatible to the ABS?

I'm sorry, the doublepost was a mistake I didn't notice.

[winkio]

The Rules

1. No doubleposting within 24 hours of your previous post. After 24 hours, it is ok to do so. If you forgot to say something in your original post, or need to change any information, then you should make use of the MODIFY button. Don't forget that SMF will treat an edit of the last post just like a new post it will be displayed as if there were new posts in the topic.

Rule #1.  The rule that was so important Blizz put it at the very top of the rule list.  No double posting within 24 hours.  Especially a meaningless quote of your last post.  Your post is there, everyone can see it, you don't need to make duplicates.

[SeanBThe3rd]

I just downloaded Blizz-ABS and I can't seem to open the Manual for some reason. It opens with "Microsoft HTML Help Executable" automatically , but every page of the manual fails.

Any help out there?

[winkio]

Oh no, that's not a problem with the manual, that's Windows security settings.  Try the solutions at this link.

Author's Notes

If you have problems opening the .chm manual file, please read this article: http://blogs.technet.com/seanearp/archive/2007/05/28/can-t-read-chm-compiled-help-on-vista-xp-2003.aspx
The solution is at the bottom, you don't need to read the whole article.

If it still doesn't work, let us know.

[Blizzard]

Winkio, what do you think about including a small "read if manual doesn't work.txt" where you put this text in?

[winkio]

yeah, I probably should.

[SeanBThe3rd]

Thanks a lot guys. Totally got it working now.

Sorry for missing the solution in the original post.

Hello, might have been asked before, but i don't plan on scrolling thru 230+ pages
Soo..
Is there a way to use the "default" sprites from the Sir Lag a Lot Demo? They don't seem to work with 2.84
I've read something about 2.7 changing, but couldnt find a 2.6 +- download link.

PS: I'm a HORRIBLE spriter, if you ask why i want this
Thanks,
PPS: English isnt my first language, so pardon my grammar.

[Boba Fett Link]

The Sir Lag a Lot sprites should work fine. I can put them in a project and they work for me.

[Stray]

I wanted to ask again, if it is possible to edit the smooth scrolling script in a way so that it could fit to the ABS.

[Skwig]

The Sir Lag a Lot sprites should work fine. I can put them in a project and they work for me.

yes the sprites themselves are fine but when ou attack they dont fit, so attack sprites should be changed or something
What do they do? Well the character sould be centered, right? Well they arent, they are just all over the place

[Stray]

I wanted to know what you still have to do for the next update. A real important thing for my game are the character animations which doesn't work.
I know, maybe it's a bit pushy, but I just can't wait for it...

[Boba Fett Link]

Uh, by character animations do you mean showing a sprited animation of the character attacking/defending/running/etc etc? Because that works. You have to turn them on in the config program though and make sure you have them named correctly.
