While getting bored of working on the same game (FOOOOOOOOOOREVER) I read through the XAS vs Blizz ABS thread.
While it's pretty humorous seeing the extremities that one would go to defend an ABS.. it does serve a point. Since I've used the majority of ABS's on RMXP I know my way around each one of them. So to settle the argument once and for all.. I will make a twenty minute example demo with each one of the ABS systems I've installed on my comp.
NeoABS [/b] - Disqualified due to glitchy handling of refreshing health.

On top of giving me experience to help me in my game making this will exonerate any bias that lingers towards ABS's.
As somoene that used almost every ABS out there I've found that BLIZZABS is one of the most compatible and simplistic public ABS's in existence.
The self imposed Rules for myself?
I have a week and three days to complete 8 acceptable demos which are similar however different.
I can not use any ideas that I've come up with in the past.
The demos must be fun and challenging
RTP Heroes are not allowed
RTP Tilesets are mandatory
I am not allowed to use any Add ons that can't be accomplished by eventing
If you approve of this "contest" between ABS's you may sign up as a judge.
The rules for judges are
You rate the games from 1 to 10 in each of the categories.
Playability
Visuals
Replayability
and of course the amount of fun you've had.
The victor of this contest will have this contest as a reference.
Since I'm basically competing against myself I can't show bias towards one ABS which ensures that it'll be a fair competition.
Good idea :)
QuotePlayability
Visuals
Replayability
and of course the amount of fun you've had.
But re-playability doesn't judge the ABS, it judges the game right..?

Since the game is based on an ABS's capabilities.. it leaves one wondering.
I started on NeoABS's demo already.
wow... 8games in 1week. your... Super Rose!!
why is this in news?
this isn't site news.
I'd move it to RMXP, but I don't mod in this forum -_-
Alright...I know where I'm needed...sheesh guys, the point of being a moderator is NOT to have any work...giving a mod work = BAAAAAD
I'd sign up as a judge, but I don't want anybody to say that the contest had biased judges. I know that Blizz-ABS will probably win anyway. xD But seriously, Blizz-ABS does have a very good chance of winning. I'll be looking forward to te games and the results.
Also, are you sure that 10 days are enough for 8 games?

ih yeah, ill be a judge also.
First game
NeoABS -
Pro's with NeoABS
Enemy Events can attack other Enemies
... that's about it.
Cons with NeoABS
Inability to refresh properly giving enemies invincibility - meaning that an enemy with 2500 health has 99999 health.. even if you don't want it to -.-. I'm really trying to work my way around this con but if I give the enemy low health they will be 1 hit and if I give them more than low health they will be invincible.. this ABS is almost unmanageable.
I almost feel like disqualifying this ABS due to the fact it is impossibly glitchy... infact I am going to disqualify this ABS.
Wow. +1 for all other ABSs by default :P
I think you should keep a scorecard on all of the ABSes as you go along, in this topic -- you know, just show everyone some pros and cons as you experience them. As you do this, you should be able to experience pretty much all the differences :P
wow thats one hell of a bug...
edit:
you should rename this topic, to like
'Super rose's Challenge!'
Banned for Sexual Harrassment, that's a first. Well.. I guess that disqualifies me from the contest.
Ah well.. Last post and I'm outta' here mang.
RTH ABS Contest game
Pros -
Combo system, summon system, etc
Cons -
Animations aren't shrunken down for map use.. so I've to do it manually.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The example game itself..
It's called Malice: The taste of Freedom.
The protagonist is Neora Lee. An immortal that has no age. He constantly alters ages involuntarily (unless you hold down enter while he's changing ages).
Each age class has its pros and cons
Adult Neora
Strong and tank worthy. Able to unleash a 6 hit combo (with his Guardian summoned he'll unleash a 9 hit combo)
Cons
Unable to deal with magic users and formless enemies
Juvenile Neora
Pros
Balanced with no weaknesses
Cons
Balanced with no strengths
Child Neora
Pros
Low health
Cons
High evasion and able to stun enemies.
It is fully an ABS that deals with stages as opposed to world maps. To see what I have so far click
here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dhVEWXtkUE).
I'm going to go buy a pizza now.. since I'm banned I don't have any reason to finish the example games.
I guess I'll go back to workin' on M.A.G.
---
Here is my opinion about the A.B.S.'s
Blizz, RTH, and FFXII ABS are my favorites of the ones mentioned
Realistic and Prexus ABS are slightly higher than XAS
Above all.. I absolutely abhor XAS and NeoABS.
Sounds very good with your progress. Not surprised at all that you despise XAS, haha. Look at that debate. Though apparently, it's supposed to be pretty powerful, the strength of XAS I mean.
Now...the main subject I'm going for, which I'm sure you fully understand, is more on your ban. You're avoiding it by creating a duplicate account. This is actually unacceptable. I believe the last time a case like this happened, the person offended obtained an IP ban as well. Sucks, I know. I'll unfortunately have to follow those rules.
I cannot delete accounts unfortunately, so this account will get banned as well. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this provides. If you ever read this however, if you ever can, haha...Um, please contact us if you want your progress with the contest. This is ever so minor, especially your sexual harassment, so I can cut out a deal.
I'm not locking this thread though. Go wild.
EDIT: It'll be done later. So you're able to do a few things before you continue the punishment, haha.

@my not being able to read the topic..
Of course I'm able to read the topic. Even if I didn't have a dynamic IP address that I can change by unplugging my router..
IP Proxies Addresses would have been fine too
Of course I didn't actually care much about my being banned nor am I a CP fanatic to actually hide and keep posting.
There are like seven people here that post on average. I thought I liked this place because I could goof around however when I noticed that people actually take the internet seriously I kinda lost the urge to want to post here.
@Haha's
I suppose its funny to you, eh? I guess thats the sound you make when you want to get on someones bad side.
I admit, it worked.
-------------------------
@On topic
I lost the urge to complete this project as soon as I've been banned. So it's safe to lock this thread.
so that means your not going to do it?
Basically
Then so be it...
I understand if you got pissed from what I said, but it was unintentionally a one-way-route to anger and all. I mean, I wasn't even trying to make you get pissed off, but unfortunately, that's how things stood out. I played the wrong cards, look what muck I came into.
Some people do take the Internet seriously. I, on the other hand, don't really take the Internet seriously. =/ Blame the people that were just all sensitive and love all that e-drama bits.
The "Hahas" was not meaning that I'm believing it's all a joke to me, or a game whatever you may call it. It's just something I say (At least recently) to bring out more of a positive note. It's just syonymous with a 'lol', but I don't like using 'lol' in proper forum posting like this.
The thread's been locked now. =/ But I guess we'll know the winner of this even if it doesn't ensue.... :^_^':
EDIT: Consider this post a sincere apology. Now that was my intent here. :P
EDIT2: Thread unlocked. Rose is continuing the project (I believe). We're cool now. :3
Jeez man.. since I was slacking off for the beginning of the week I'm not sure if I can finish the project on friday.. however I'll still upload what I have so far on friday. Mucho Apologies.
I'm back yo'. MWAHAHAHAHA!
maybe give youself a few more days to finish it?
Should I release the RTH demo today?
Well, if you're done with it, sure.
Malice: TtoF uploaded.
Pointers.
--------------------------------------------------------
Adult Neora - Melee Tank, Melee Damage Dealer
Juvenile Neora - Jack of All Trades (I doubt you'll use him much in this demo)
Child Neora - Magic Tank.. high evasion.
--------------------------------------------------------
You'll probably need more help than this.. just ask here and I'll give you a pointer or two.
I'm starting on BlizzABS next.. I just need to come up with some kinda gimmick.
wheres the download link?
*pionts to first post*
o/` update.
I'm currently using Mr Mo's ABS. I noticed that wasn't mentioned in this thread. It's not highly advanced but I found it the easiest to understand and perfect for my survival horror game needs.
Too bad Mr. Mo isn't working on it anymore (I believe). That ABS did have potential. Rose, if you don't mind going to *shudder* RMXP.org and trying it out, go for it. Unless this competition is over. :P
He may be done playing with himself.
Er I mean contesting against himself, or whatever it is he is doing with this.

Mr. Mo's ABS is way too glitchy.. trust me.
@ R.G.
I'm not done.. I actually fell in love with Blessed Be the Lady and started writing a script for it.
I realized my folly.. somewhere in between transition between projects have I lost sight of my true soul.
I've blinded my eyes, and numbed mind starving my creativity and lust for prose.
..I have lost the blossom of a rare Rose and have become nothing but a weed. Yet, I slowly begin to realize that hiding behind jrpg plotlines and gaming styles... its insulting to my .. well.. in the end I've realized what has been known. As a poet, a writer, and a muse to my own self.. I've started to decompose.. rotting.. there is no eloquence, no elegance.. no foundation to my words nor story. This.. I feel nothing but shame.
Angry at myself I've began to rewrite my stories as they should be read.. as poetry.. as plays instead of asinine spoonfed gibberish void of any life beyond the pen. Anyone can write words.. yet, someone truly blessed can deliver their soul.
So.. I write.
Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I like turtles

So are you still doing this?
Casually, I've gotten the experience I needed out of doing it.
Tell your sister to stop using her tongue so much
From what I understood NeoABS was an improvement of Mr. Mo's ABS by him and a few other scripters.
If you guys dont believe its glitchy.. try it out for yourselves. Assign something like 3000 hp to an enemy and I promise you if your chara doesn't hit for like 2500 it wont die fast. The battle system is very glitchy.
I played Blessed Be the Lady one. It's great! Really hope you finish it, the story is awesome... and I wanted to play more but then I got to the end of the demo :(
