Dragon X:

Your map is reminiscent of many newbies' RMXP things. A few things I have to comment on:

• Your map is terribly square. Many towns are definitely not that linear or 'cookie-cutter'. It's not like the people who founded the town went, "Hey, this is all flat land! We can build it perfectly!" No, the location of it probably has all sorts of terrain that the builders would have to go around.
  
• The houses are dull. They're nearly the exact same thing. I don't have the tileset readily available with me, but I'm sure you can add more of a shape with it. Again, not all houses are just xx rows at something like that...I suppose. And all of them don't need the same stuff...(Unless this is a Communist town...)
  
• You have an interesting design on some areas at least. Good for you on that...Just think what creative areas you can put so it'll be spiced up.
  
• Many newbie maps are terribly empty. In the real world, space isn't something that is so available, especially in bustling areas. Don't make them so largely empty.
  
• This is just a minor thing, but I don't think the dark stone tile is used for that. Doesn't matter though...I guess.
  
  Keep working on it though~ I find it easier to actually just map or diagram some basic thing out and go for it...If I ever go back on the editor...It's a little bit difficult when you have the stuff down and there's some maps you have to mangle and manage through.

Yeah I know that was a very early map though I never ever finished the town, when making part of the world map its intently cluttered with random trees and plants and animals wandering around, so much so I had to install the anti lag script D: it also has random cliff formations and stuff and was my best map. That map I showed was like the 3rd map I made when making the game and I'm gonna improve it, also it doesn't show the crowds of people events that I added in later on.

Then why are all 3 systems linked? o.O Cos they are they wont work without each other. Well at least in my version.

Woah awesome o.o I'm picking up tips here, some of my maps are still square but its mainly because they arn't finished because I'm trying to make as much of the story as possible then going back to re edit the maps.

Small picy of the first castle town main square.

See? although it's much bigger, I also need to edit the edges of the tower to make it more rounded in accorandce to the actual walls. =/

The skill used activates the common event their seperate, one activates the general effect and then activates the damge stage through depleting SR so as the character can only summon say we call it the "mega" version through limit.

Hey Blizzard long time no see, quick question I have everything working with the Sideview battle system the Chaos Rage, Soul Rage and Soul Force, however I try to add a command to the Chaos Rage it doesn't quite work although I configured the ID's and the database correctly. It was supposed to run a scripted event for a summon like you gave an example of in one of your posts. I keep battle testing and taking the SR meter to the max but all I get is the Transform command on attack, the weapons that have abilities I added to them on skill and an empty list on defend when you scroll to the side. =/

Any suggestions?

WE WANT PIX! >8U

I want pix. ._.

Noes!

Meh well, I have a story background I'm wondering wether its good or not, our "hero" won't learn about this to much later on in the game.

However it is something like this...

Spoiler: ShowHide

Many thousands of years ago Dragons were the supreme magic users of the land and all the countries of the world prospered greatly under their guidance and protection however this is to be short lived.

It all started when a group from an order of mages of humans started resentment towards the dragons and the other countries, they wanted the magic for themselves so they could rule over, not these beasts.

And so deep within the earth the first Darklith Crystal formed beneath the Magic Crystals of life and in it all the resentment and bitter human emotion were absorbed into it's magic and it started to spew forth dark emotions to all those who resided above it.

(All thoughts and feelings are given shape and form when magic has permiated in an area, magic also is condensed into crytiline form easily.)

The first to notice the change in some of the humans were the dragons and they wen't on huge hunts for the source of it all. They dug into the earth above the location of the Darklith Crystal using their advanced magic. Soon they entered the chamber only to find that instead of one darklith crystal there wer thousands that had spawned from the first one because of all the new emotions stirred in the minds of men and when the dragon's went to destroy them, the darklith crystals seeking to defend themselves, corrupted the party of dragons including one of the highest ranked leaders.

Soon war ensued between humans and dragons and humans amongst themselves and dragons amongst themselves. The darkliths encouraged the fighting spirit and soon they grew big enough to penatrate the upper earth and soon across the globe many great spires and mountains had formed out of the darklith crystals, creating a dark world, where the very animals around them became dark hellish beasts.

One of the last remaining remenents of unchanged dragons and humans formed the Lost Order and combined their magics together to force a place in the world where they could operate before going to take on the darklith crystals. The order fought, there were many casualties but eventualy they one and the crystals were destroyed and cast into the void of oblivion or removed from the planet.

This legend and the order became a myth however it is believed that the Dragons, being able to shapeshift kept their line going by taking a family with the humans of the order and so several half Dragon half Human species reamin today.

----------------------------------------------------
Phew that was alot to write.... Anywho it goes something like that but this is going to be beneficial to the hero because it means he can fight and use the Darklith corruption using the ancient magic which is in his blood.

Mmm pasta...wait what? I learned to cook from an early age, comes with being raised by your mother only <_<.

Also whoever said about the puny people just shooting up in height was right it happened to me the last 2 years, I used to be like 5'1 now I'm just under 6ft.

I'll give you a mental image for now.

Spoiler: ShowHide

About 6ft
Long hair falls down to his shoulders at the back and has been styled to cover right eye at front.
Darkish Brown hair, goes black when short.
Eyes- Not certain they have something like little specs of each colour in them so they seem to change colour. ._. It's common actualy.
I have sort of darkish skin, like a perma-tan, not too dark but darker than most peopel around britain who have their skin bleached by the constant clouds and rain. I'm not asian or part.
I'm pretty slim, not much in the way of muscles but I'm working out to keep myself healthy now!
My face is pretty clean, I have to shave now and then but...meh

Can yah picture me yet? XD

Where were you when I set up teleportation sequences on all my save crystals on my game? >.<
XD I just used the give choices option a lot of times and used transfer player with a sound effect.

Bump since I haven't posted in days.

Cool I made an event during battle that once the guage was enough and the character had a special item then he could transform into something however I don't have the side battler sprite for it. Lookin awesome so far =P Reminds me of Kaiser Dragon form in Breath of Fire 3 where if triggered succesfully, Ryu's hair would go golden and suff.

The battler of Saturos then. He's an awesome evil guy.

Yeah the shadows emitted by these crystals called "Darkliths" hunt around the world for strong people to posses and use for thier will, our hero wakes up as a dark knight with several years of his memory missing after the event in the woods.

I also thought of a way to break this but it involves more stolen ideas from other video games <_< I'm so totaly unoriginal, I was going to have him able to transform into a dragon like Ryu using the Chaos soul rage system, however I have to think more of how this is beneficial to the story. Think of him as a conflicted character as it were.

Well thats it's name unless already taken or I find a better one.

Basicaly I have been developing it with a similar story to some of the early Final Fantasys, ie. The Crystals idea, I adapted and made it darkliths only they house very evil power and it has corrupted this king and it's magics have been slowly corrupting and turning the world. The main character is a young knight on a quest for fame and glory like his father before him as is explained in the short intro and then the scene in the wodds takes place where afterwards you will wake up in castle town (which will have a name change) as the Dark Knight of King Excelioth. 

The story does go on a bit after you reach the castle etcetera but anyways I haven't been able to do much except import scripts/fix/remove scripts, (which I will give thanks to people where they are due) and edit things, so I don't have much in the way of the maps yet however I made part of the world map early just for some fun on the side if I get tired or I want somone to try it out for me.

Screenshots and stuff will follow.

I'm posting this here now because I didn't see any point before it was at least half decent.
Err... I don't have a team but I'll welcome any help if it is offered.

(This page will receive some massive updates in the future.)

This one here, I created a common event to run with the Soul Rage system so that my character once he has a certain Item can transform into this, however this sprite sheet doesn't have enough poses.

Spoiler: ShowHide

I think it's good, wish I could sprite XD, then again I've never tried.

Dragon X
System:  GBA
Game: I wan't the Dragons that Ryu turns into from breath of fire 1. I would ask Breath of Fire 3 because their better but it's on PS1. Breath of Fire 2 just uses still pictures.
Can I also have Isaac,Garet,Felix,Saturos and Merendi from Golden Sun?  If possible.
Type: Battler & Character
Character: Ryu's Dragon transformations.
Isaac,Garet,Felic,Saturos and Merendi.

(I'm now thinking that it might not accept the sprites from the games, who knows?)

I'll check, I had a problem with the chaos rage as well but I found out it was the skill seperation add on so i disabled it and it works however I will see about the regen status effect.

Fixed. Thanks for all your help Blizzard. I feel like somone is going to lose patience with me some day, I seem to break everything lol.

Yay it works =). However why does my characters MP seem to be going down without any spells being cast?

Put tons of add ons to the top, if I have soul rage below tons of add ons and above the CBS I get an error with the tons of add ons at the end of the battle, if I put the CBS below Tons of add ons and above the soul rage I get this~
Script 'Chaos Soul Rage system' line 1807: NoMethodEror occured.
undefined method 'set_player_command' for #<Window_Command_New:0x39be9e8

I already tested putting the CBS ontop of them all yesterday but I'll try again.
Put the CBS ontop of them all and I get the same NoMethodError. I think it's the CBS's Bar script however I'm not sure because it does show up underneath the Tons of add ons.
