Hey everyone. I finished adding all the sprites into my game for blizzABS to work. So I'm going through my game and replacing all the battle processing calls currently in place with things more proper for blizzABS. But at what feels like completely random times, I get this error
(http://i62.tinypic.com/5ofbxd.png)
At first I thought maybe this was being caused by one of the addons I was using. So I took out EVERYTHING other than blizzABS. But I still get the error. The error always occurs in the same places, so I thought maybe it had something to do with ABSEAL. So I tried disabling ABSEAL on all the maps it was occurring on. This changed nothing. So I tried disabling ABSEAL on EVERY map in the game. The error still occurs at the same place.
I've tried going through and giving my cutscene controller events a dummy graphic as well. I really have no idea why these are happening :/
In normal circumstances, I'd just erase every event on the map where it occurs and re event the whole thing. But this isn't an option, because this happens on some maps with quite long cutscenes that I don't have time to remake. The RPG Maker contest ends in just five days. I really don't know how to get around this. And it would be a disaster if I've ended up wasting the past three days on blizzABS if it's going to have a game killing bug I can't get around :/ Please help if you know what's going on.
-edit, it seems that this error is caused every time a parallel process common event is activated. Does anyone know how to fix that? Some very important bits of eventing are done this way and there's no way for me to do what I'm trying to do without either making a script (which I do not have time for) or having these parallel process common events.
-edit again, that doesn't seem to be the only thing causing it :/ I'm trying to narrow down the cause of it. But WTF! We've had blizzABS for how long now? Has anyone ever actually tried to make a serious project with it? lol. I figure this error would have come up before. A LOT of things seem to be triggering this error :P
-edit, I've figured out a fix for the tirgger error.
In Blizz-ABS Part 2, you change this line
if $game_map.events[event_id].trigger > 4
to
if $game_map.events[event_id] && $game_map.events[event_id].trigger > 4
Though there is another error :/ Sometimes, when I set an event's move route, the script hangs.No idea why. No error other than "the script is hanging". So I guess I'll have to figure out what the freak is going wrong here too -.- How do I always manage to find ways to break whatever script I'm working with? lol
That error has been reported before, or rather 'trigger' being in the error message. I tried using my script (http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,12230.0.html) because I had this similar issue when making it. A user reported it worked for them too, so I dunno.
Curious about something else:
QuoteYou must have the right to use all assets, tools, and anything else involved in the creation of the game, such as the engine/software, visual resources, music, and so forth. Pre-existing assets are allowed as long as the actual game was not started before May 29th at 12:00am UTC. Please note that some resource creators will consider your game to be commercial due to the inclusion of prizes, so make sure you ask permission if you're uncertain!
Quote from: BlizzABS licenseNoncommercial. You may not use this work for commercial purposes.
Is Blizzard gonna be a bro?
o.o I didn't even think to ask that. Wow. I'll be royally screwed over if he decides that counts as commercial :/ Better send him a PM.
Blizzard is pretty lenient, especially on people he knows/likes. I'm pretty sure he'll allow it.
Yeah. That's what I'm hoping for :/
And I figured out the error.
The game seems to hang whenever I give the player a move route that involves jumping O.o de freak. (it also won't process two speed changes in a single move route)
-edit, actually I have no idea WHY it hung there. I basically just remade the same event call, and it doesn't hang anymore. Going to have to test this game A LOT with the ABS added in. It doesn't like cutscenes very much :P
As I already said in the PM, entering a contest that has a money price isn't really commercial. If somebody came along and gave me $10000, because they thing CP is awesome, doesn't make CP commercial.
QuoteYour game will be added to the Humble Store and featured on its front page. Take a look at the image for an idea of where your game could end up!
Degica, distributor of RPG Maker and numerous commercial RPG Maker games, will look into publishing your game on Steam - alongside such RPG Maker classics as To the Moon and Skyborn! They will also discuss other publishing options as well, such as exporting to iOS and Android.
Granted, that's if you win the whole thing. You'd still be okay with that?
o.o I didn't know that was part of the contest. I just thought it was just money and that's it.
If they get it published on steam and IOS and stuff, would it be ok to still use blizzABS? Would I have to pay you a license fee?
It doesn't matter. Just send me an email with a request and I will just send you a reply with permission. You can do it afterwards if you win the contest.
Oh ok, sweet :D
