[XP] Gold, Silver, Copper money system

[Taiine]

I'm looking for a new money system (think WoW) where
100 copper > 1 silver
100 silver = 1 gold
possibly with images for the diff coins.

that will also work in shops. I did find a money converter some time ago that turned gold into dollars (1g = 1 cent) but can't find it at the moment, however even if I did I don't think itm would work out for this.

Much appreciation in advanced.

Oh and ps. I'm not wanting this to make things 'look cool' with no real use for it. Fare from it,  I'd like this to make item prices and money spending a bit more even out rather then having an item for a huge sum of gold. And it would help out in my one game as you start out in a poorer section and make more sents for people to have copper and silver to start with then a stash of gold. Honestly, a few gold for some bread? Must be darn good bread. xD

Honestly, a few gold for some bread? Must be darn good bread. xD

Depends on how much a piece of gold is valued. xD

Have you tried searching the script database yet? I think that somebody posted something related to currencies. Maybe it was a system like this that only needs to be modified a bit.

[Taiine]

Oh I've browsed the script database a number of times, finding a couple of nice tidbits that further enhanced my game but no, I don't think it was here that I found that one edit that turned 1g into 1 cent to change the games gold into dollars (100g = $1 250g = $2.50). I'm still searching for it, I know I bookmarked it for a future date but firefox seems to be iffy at times when it comes to saving favs. >.>


Edit: Yay I found the script that changed gold into dollars, however I'm not 100% sure if this can be edited to change gold into silver and copper where 100 copper = 1 silver and 100 silver = 1 gold.
But here it is none the less.

One thing forgot to bring up! Also been using http://www.creationasylum.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=16879 for my shops (looks a lot cleaner then most stop systems I've seen) and the below only half works with it. While the amount you have is down the item price is not converted.

I also use http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34792 and the other rearranged CMS windows by Law, does work it's just extremely picky as in what order it goes in for it to work right XD
So if the below is used as a base for what I'd like, or a new system done up entirely, that's about it

still working on it (am not that great of a scriper, so taking my time)

something like this?

Spoiler: ShowHide

Sorry, did not have a pic for the command window)

I recommend to us a large gold window because adding 3 extra sprites is taking a lot of room.
and also change the background a little bid (of the shop that is)

r u gonna finish this scriot m8,coz it looks good

[Jackolas]

yeah working on it. (just posted today   )

atm working at increasing the prices of items.

in the database you can only let items cost a maximal of 99999 (9G 99S 99C)
so need to script a way to overcome this.

Edit:
The script is all done (and working
only problem is that atm its not possible to increase prices of items past (9G 99S 99C)
still working on this

edit 2:
got it working (the increase price), now only need to add a config and I post it here

[Taiine]

Yeah the shop script has a broken image for the buy/sell window, I took the screen shot and edited out the window to use. lol

It's looking good!

Just one more thing, that I may get shot for ;3
I poked around, and found a item limiter script (something been after for ages past)
http://www.atelier-rgss.com/RGSS/System/XP_SYS04.html
Where you can have a max limit for all items then set a limit for individual items as well, and once you reached the limit you can't buy any more...


however it don't work what so ever with this shop script I use. While the limit don't increase, you can still 'buy' items over and over. Anyway to get that compatible with the shop script AND the gold script or am I gona have to make a hefty choice of using it and throwing out the shop script, or keep the shop script and throw out the item limiter. >.<

[Jackolas]

easy to add

Item Limit V1.7

wonder why he needed 7 versions (at least)

[Taiine]

Thanks much :3

[Jackolas]

thank me when i finish it:P

btw.. latest update:

Spoiler: ShowHide

changed it so for example if an item cost only 10 silver it won't display the 00 gold in frond of it

[Taiine]

Could there be a space after the coin graphic? so it's not 00[coin]00[coin]00[coin] but 00[coin] 00[coin] 00[coin] with the spaces?

[Jackolas]

yes. its possible... but remember every time you add extra room to the money the less room you get for other numbers.

[Taiine]

That is fine, I'm working on mixing things up a bit on the main menu and one will be making a longer gold bar.

[Jackolas]

with thanks to Game_Guy i managed to add the higher gold prices to the game.
only the item limiter script and than its done (sorry it takes this long but can't do a lot when I'm at work)

edit:
added some extra room between the numbers
been toying around with different spaces between it and this looked the best

Spoiler: ShowHide

will clean up the script and post it here later today (I hope)
For the edit with item limiter you need to wait a little bid longer

script without the item limiter (place below FF Tactics Advance Shop System):

on a side not. will also make 1 that work with the default shop system

[Taiine]

Thanks so much! It's perfect! Although to make it more user friendly to other people who may like it (I know of least two others who've been after something like this) I think it's best to also make it effect the default shops, the money you have shows fine, but when you buy/sell the amount below is back to default.

Just a FYI :3

yeah.. still need to work on it... but it requires a lot of editing. and atm its 1 big mess
to make it work with the default I need to remake the whole script (plan to do it when I have time)
Also note that I have (well I think I have) no scripting skills at all. (reason why it takes so long)
all what I make is kinda by looking to other peep scripts.. and a lot of luck

but when you buy/sell the amount below is back to default.

how you mean? so far I'm not able to recreate this.. do you have any other scripts?

I don't mean the gold count in the upper corner. I mean when you go to sell/buy something. the amount that's showing for the total for the amount you are buying/selling for still shows the normal gold amount.

is an easy fix
