Nope, I wasn't aware of that!

Thanks!!

I've been doing lot of things.. but the hotkeys part in this game comes in the late game. Was nearly not developed because the skills are not easy to obtain while playing, and then are too strong. So was nearly not used. Since I'm with the last part of the game (final bosses and so on) I've rescued them, but I've been busy doing maps, scenes, sprites, the script.. and didn't pay enough attention to this.

omg

by the way.. ive seen that blizz is the responsible of the enemies engaging the player in the map, not in battle scenes like in most of rpg's. I like it. but how is modified the behaviour of their AI?

I've seen that there is an option in the menu,.. but only includes the main character, the one used by the player. so i guess that somewhere should be a place where to add the different enemies.

again about the keys.. the sad part is that i've written myself some tutorials within the game.. so i've wrote that thing about the tab key. I even changed the function of some key, because in my keyboard some signs are different than in the american ones, so is better to avoid them and use letters. plain letters don't use to give problems of compatibility between countries.
I had writen in the tutorial that tab was for hotkeys,.. but not that was for hiden them or show them. Now i'll add that detail.

edit:

I'm not familiarized with blizz-abs. Now i've seen that adding a series of 0 and 1 after the name of the enemy, part of its behaviour changes. I'll read and try. thanks for your time. If i've got a real problem, a problem that i can't fix, i'll ask for help.

and thanks again.

thanks! Is done. Matching is not perfect, but is good enough. Anyways, much more pefect than before.
This problem has been there since.. well, maybe ten years.





There still a problem that it seems more like a bug. With the same script, sometimes the hotkeys bar it keeps being visible all the time, also if is empty. But on other times, like previous saved games, if the bar is not being used, then is invisible. Same conditions, different outcomes.
There is an option to hide the HUB , but that option does not include the bar.
I mean.. is necessary to see the icons and numbers, and to see how they match when you chose them. But maybe is not that necessary to see the bar all the time, still less if is empty.
sorry for causing you so much trouble , but .. do you know maybe where i could check this option?


Still have a lot of problems to fix, but interface is essential. Is basic. Is how the game comunicate with the user and viceversa. Any other cosmetic or about playability problem can be hidden in some way, but.. a bad interface.. is unavoidable. You just can't hide it from the user if does not work well.

Thankyou to make me understand that the problem was just in the size of the png file!!

thanks to my previous tryings i learnt to change the place of the bar and its elements.

When i've changed the size of the png, I've also given to it a hint of transparency.

I think that now it looks great!:



Now.. there is only a .. tiny problem. I need to move the arrows that indicate the positions on the bar. Maybe i can figure it out. If you know where to check it.. would be great.
I say it because since the image of the character is on the right side, the map is better on the left side. and to combine with the icons of the hotkeys, is better to have the hotkeys icons bar a bit upper than where they were before.. so.. now.. they don't match with the arrows. but they didn't match before either, so i didnt search in the code about them. I always thought that the problem was on the bar, not on the arrows.

now it looks great, no?

Think you can send over your Scripts.rxdata file? Doesn't seem like vertical hotkeys is a normal behavior in Blizz-ABS, so it most likely is custom-made. I can't really tell you what to fix without any code for reference.

In my rpgmaker XP, the scripts are in a section where i can see them by parts and edit them, but I don't know how to convert them into a file nor to search within them as a whole.

there is a file called scripts.rxdata , but if i open it, is full of japanese characters. It seems encrypted in some way.

I don't know if rpgmaker allows to edit its script to be converted into the editable file that you ask for.

I can copy paste the blizz-abs part. Is where those changes should be. if i do so, how do i send it to you?

Anyways, if interested, the file is here: -removed-

Thanks a lot! Yes, now the minimap is on the lower left side!

This problem was already years ago. I remember that was commented back then. But was not my issue in that period.

About the hotkeys column.. yes, screenshot. Here it is:



In the left of the screen, the overlapped icons

Hello..

Years ago there was an rpg-maker project opened to collaboration. That game was began on 2011, and was active by its founders until 2013 or so. The game had an hiatus, being still active but like in pause. Was done in RPG Maker XP.
I took part for some graphic content in the end of that first period.
Around 2017 the game, still incomplete, was nearly abandoned. I began to collaborate more: I did maps, events, graphic part.. a bit of all that I knew a bit about.
the people who created had gone, but I had a github fork and the main page linked to mine for the updates.
Then i broke my right arm two times. Github banned my account for some of the graphic parts that i had made years ago.
And i left.
But.. when i left, the other collaborators quit too. The forum where the discussions took part disappeared.
And the game was then abandoned.

My mail was on the changelog.. so, someone, the last october, wrote to me asking about the game.
He told me that he could help to end it. That still there was some people interested.
I found the old files and retook the project with the purpose of ending it.
When that guy, who was a programmer, had rpg maker and saw the mess that was the code.. well, he quit.

I've been developing the story, making new maps, characters, events, scenes.. in order to make the end that the game always deserved. That has been on the last months.

For the final stages is required a full use of skills, since is time for the final bosses.
Someone, years ago, added Blizz-ABS on the game. Version 2.80

I tried to update it, but then the game just dont work. Gets frozen.

There is a pair of things that i've been trying to fix in the code, checking the location of them. I don't know if someone will be able to help me in this.

by one side, there is a minimap. I've seen, in the code, how to change the position and size of the minimap when is in full screen. But I'm unable to find a way to put the minimap when is in its tiny size in the bottom left part of the screen. Now is in the bottom right part of the screen. In rpg-maker, the image of the character is in the same area, bottom right, so i'm trying to put that tiny map on the bottom left to help the playability and avoid overlaping.
Does anybody know how can i do that?

The second question is about skills:
Some skills seems to require a hotkey. the menu for assigning items and skills for the hotkeys can be modified. I've seen it on the code of the game. Took me a while to find the numbers, but i managed to do it.
But.. once you have chosen your hotkeys, there is a menu on the left of the screen: a vertical bar: black squares and white numbers for empty positions, icons of the chosen skills or items for the hotkey assigned. But.. problems:

while the arrow that indicates the position goes from mid screen to the bottom, the bar itself only occupies and area in the mid hight of the screen, so the arrow and the positions don't match. Also, due the tiny portion of the screen that occupies that bar, the icons are overlapped.
I've tried to see how i can enlarge that bar, but I've been unable. All that i've managed is to barely change its position as a whole or by parts, but not its size.

So.. those are my problems right now: an old version of blizz-abs, a code worked by several people in several years, and an interface that needs some retouches.

Can anyone help me on this?

I'm not a programmer myself. And I'm not native english speaker either. I beg perdon if i've done grammar or vocabulary mistakes.

I've just created an account here just to ask this help. I don't know what else I can do. I've tried everything.

Hi. I'm just a random guy without knowledge of programming.
I've come to ask for help for an old game that im trying to rescue and finish.
