>>3840309Is he about to get railed by those wolfmen or what?
>another rpgm thread ruined by aislopSigh
>>3840318>He asked for a tip. If your damage formula uses A.mat then the hit type should probably be changed to Magical. According to the help file...Certain Hit:Treats the successful use of the skill as a guaranteed hit. Counterattack, Magic Reflection, and Substitute are ineffective.Physical Attack:Determines the success based on the user's Accuracy and the target's Evasion. Counterattack and Substitute are applicable.Magic Attack:Determines the success based on the target's Magic Evasion. Magic Reflection and Substitute are applicable.
"Not those tips!"The pub went dead silent. He realized how different it sounded out loud.
>>3840329Speaking of ai. I had ChatGPT create a skills.json and enemies.json by feeding it a final fantasy guide. Just to see if it could. Someone in the last thread suggested doing that with digimon. If you have it write to a canvas, it seems to hallucinate a lot more. It invents monster names and skills. Some of them sounded plausible. Others sounded like pokemon. But if you have it give you a file to download, like a zip or .json, those hallucinations aren't there. It's got to be something in the way it types out chat messages. It's nice having a big database to play with. But it makes me realize how bad RM's data management systems is. They let you have hundreds of skills, but no way to sort or organize them. You can't drag or insert a new skill in-between items, you have to copy everything below it and paste it back in one space down, then erase the duplicate.There's no batch processing of skills either. F4 and F5 will shift up and down through the database item while keeping a certain menu list active. That way you can quickly set some data with the arrow keys. But that technique doesn't work for Item Icons or other dialogue boxes that require mouse clicks. Instead I opened the Skills.json file in a text editor and use find->replace to set Icon Ids quickly.
>>3840330I want to say only physical attacks have critical hits. But it's not written anywhere. Even if you checkmark 'can crit' it won't do anything for magical attack hit types.
>>3840375Does "Certain Hit" types do critical damage? *I'll check*...it does not.
Found some neat plugins that allow visual equipment (for the party leader) and Hendrix has an action rpg system. The bad thing is that it doesn't work with the battle system and if I want to stick to a turn-based system i'll have to use the first-person battle system. On the other hand I think an action system might be neat.
>>3840372Yeah editing large databases and other big project stuff in-engine becomes a huge pain. TextPad with find and replace is useful for going through multiple files at once (like all your maps).
>>3840318If we're lucky. Looks like facial just wasn't enough for them.

>>3840330I create new items more often than I do skills. There's a few different ways to make recovery itemsThere's the damage formula box>Type: HP Recovery, Formula: +200hpAnd there's the Effects Box>Type: Recover HP 0% +200What's the difference? The [Pharmacology] trait only influences numbers in damage box.-That's Recovery Damage of the item, when <used by> that character-Outside of battle the item user is the Party leader. The [Recovery Effect] trait only influences numbers in the effect box.- That's Recovery Effect of the item received or <used on> that character themselves. New Project presets gives you items with recovery effects, not recovery damage. The only things the [Pharmacology] trait would enhance or inhibit in this case are the default Heal & Raise Magic. Those formulas already uses the caster's magic attack state. So the pharmacology trait is nearly useless. Healing Damage is also evaluated in the system's "can use" function. It means to stop a player from wasting Potions on characters with full HP. You can make the healing damage a negative number, but then the item is only usable in battle. Outside of battle, the system will check if a healing item actually heals. Which further limits pharmacology applications. With Healing Effects, you can circumvent the "can use" function by stacking arbitrary -/+ healing effects that cancel out. This will permit the damage formula calculations, and facilitate the pharmacology trait. But know that the healing effect is ordered last. So if you end with +1Hp effect, the target will never reach 0HP (if desirable)
>>3840598With damage formulas unlocked, you can evaluate conditions like the target's state, and other data with script functions. An Item/Skill can have a Common Event as an effect. But using those items forces the menu to close, as common events don't run in the menu scene. If you want a "Poison Potion" to turn the party member's face green, you can do that through the damage formula's script evaluation and keep the menu open.
>>3840598Correction: Pharmacology only applies to "items <used by> the actor"; not "skills". So it wouldn't actually do anything to Heal & Raise magic.
>>3840598Actually, I think the pharmacology state can be added into the damage formula. With b.pha, for the target's stat; so it doesn't have to be the user's trait.And there's probably a way to write it to ignore or negate the user's state with a.pha.The recovery effect rate stat would be A.rec or B.recAnd the statement that pharma trait only deals with the damage formula is misleading. It's factored into the effect box calculation. Maybe you meant to specify negative numbers? A negative value won't switch the damage type to the opposite; it'll just ignore it.
>>3840309IT'S CALLED PORTAL FANTASY YOU MONUMENTAL LUDDITE ABORTION
>>3840631Heh. I'm having this argument with ChatGPT. It refuses to admit it's wrong. It insists that an HP Recovery attack with a negative value will "reverse heal". A negative value will only result in a white "0" damage popup, instead of a green "0" recovery. But that's it. -100rec won't do 100dmg; only 0dmg. This is in MV/MZ. I haven't used the older makers in forever. Maybe it worked differently in those.

How do you make your turn based combat fun?
>>3840678Ask yourself - what makes turn-based combat unfun? Then work from there.
>>3840678I think the appeal of jrpgs in general is the character progression and mastery. So your design philosophy should be to facilitate that. Show them the 999x9 power sword worth 1000000 moneys exists. So they they can make it a goal for themselves. That way gold rewards are a means to an end. If they have no idea the power sword exists, then giving it to them as a drop or a random chest isn't as fulfilling. I mean rewarding exploration counts for something. But people don't grind random encounters when drop rates are imperceivable. They don't know something exists until they do. So it's the strategy guide or the player community knowledge-sharing that makes it a fun activity. Which is outside of your game.
I've been thinking about going back to my One Screen RPG jam entry to fill the enemies and troops more. Before, I just gave you an overpowered sword to 1-hit kill everything. Even then, I thought it was too tedious for anyone to play for an anti-climatic ending. So only 1 person really got to play it. Since there's limited battles, I only had a fuzzy idea of what the Exp curve should be. It would have to be 1 level per battle, stopping at lv50, or 2 levels per battle to reach lv99. I couldn't decide.
>>3840790>anticlimacticYou weren't telling a real story in the first place. You just plugged in a Succour guest appearance. And her story isn't complete either. You should just file off the serial number and do something original with another other red head. Don't be one of those people that's always saving a seat for someone that never shows up.
>>3840852The story was ripping off mythology. Mostly Dionysus. Myths and fables don't exactly have a climax. >Icarus flies too close to the sun>His wax wings melt>He falls. Instead of a climax you get a moral. >Don't overreach. It's fair to say my story didn't have that. It was antimoral, or, amoral. All I was doing was borrowing a myth, like a meme, to meet the jam's theme. Succour was just a last minute addition. I don't remember the thought behind that now.

>>3841029https://youtu.be/isNkiSS7xZQ?si=E1n4kXnWJ3jc3TnaIt's working :D.
>>3840968There are SRPG plugins for MV and MZ that might help you get started. I think you could take one of those, limit the battle area to a small grid like Live-A-Live and then tweak it until it resembles the battle system more.https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/srpg-gear-mz-plugins-for-creating-tactical-battle-system.153483/Alternatively, Touhou-A-Live exists and was made in RPG Maker 2003, so maybe you could try figuring out how they did it. 2003 wouldn't be using plugins though, the way they did it I'm guessing is with lots of events specific to their needs and it might be hard to copy or get something useful for yourself out of looking at it. Could be fun to look at though, or at least try the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6PusxxAoLU
>>3840905If you like that, consider thishttps://toastytime.itch.io/the-donvecci-estatehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYcqV1-wbLI>communication was prohibitedI doubt they'll repeat the experiment where communication is mandatory.
That's just par for the course.
>>3841070Not sure what I’m looking at here but it looks really cool. Reminds me Puella Magi Madoka Magica
I've thought about doing this for a while but it was never a priority. I had ChatGPT make a database documentation tool. In the skills notebox it adds classes and enemies that use said skill. And, in the states notebox, it lists items and skills that add and remove the state. It's a really simple utility. I'm thinking about other diagnostics that would be convenient.
I'm creating some event command presets, and prototype enemies with skills already added. Like, the Shop Processing event command is a nightmare. It's tedious to add "goods" one item at a time. I know people use a script snippets to list "everything". It's actually easier to start with a Shop List with everything in it, because you can select multiple items for deletion. Same thing with enemies, it's easier to have a mage type with a bunch of preset magic skills I can multiselect to delete.
>>3841343Smart move. I think using AI to create tools to help you rather than creative tasks is an underrated usage.

>>3841518>the game is non lineal and focused on exploration
>>3841561Yeah, generally people look down on using the defaults. Or at least they prefer something original. Even just renaming them goes a long way.
>>3841561Honestly if your story, art and maps are really thoughtful and polished, then I wouldn't be bothered by the presence of "iron sword" and "safe tea boots." Having said that, I wouldn't be disappointed if you renamed everything to at least give the illusion of greater cohesion.

how to make 0% chance for random encounters to repeat the same troop?
>>3840598> mathHansget ze flammenwerfer>what's the difference?Have you not realized the truth yet...?There are no skills...there are only items.All skills are instances of base_item, just like items. It's just a different category of items.You were making skills all along,Also, linguistically, you can totally attribute the question to your earlier statement, especially since the second line in your post doesn't make an exact statement, but says it as if it is an example; however the one above it does not and shows that there might be a difference between those. Further, linguistically, it is unclear whether or not it is a genuine question,
>>3841845It's obviously a hypothetical question followed by an explanation of what the difference is. And items are all going to be "certain hit", not physical or magical. items can be consumed. Skills can be learned and skill-types sealed. But to unlearn a skill you'd call a common event as an effect. And effects don't happen if the skill "misses".

Give me 1 (one) good reason why AI shouldn't be used be used for writing simple plugins for your own personal usage.
>>3841986there really isn't one. You probably weren't going to pay a programmer a couple grand to do it. Though I guess it might make you dumber if you never dig into what it tells you and learn to understand it. But I feel like that is unlikely given that AI doesn't always give you something perfect.
>>3841797I only know vx aceso in Game_Player, when the encounter step count hits zero, it looks through all the troops listed on the map and checks if they're "okay"normally being "okay" just means seeing if the enemy troop is valid for the region the player is standing on (like water enemies only on water tiles idk if other versions have regions)you could easily expand that to check if the enemy troop has ever been encounter before, just add the previously-seen troop id to an array and check that too
>>3841986You'll have to find a new excuse for why you didn't finish your game.
>>3841988Yeah, in my case I'm already a programmer but I really appreciate how much time it saves. For simple things it's pretty obvious how it works too, just saves you the time of digging through the RPG Maker documentation or forum posts to find answers.>>3841994That's a fair point

Do you use ChatGPT Projects for your game or just singular chat threads
>>3841854You're missing the point;you're creating skills because skills are items; they're the same functionally. They are things you use in combat, so mechanically they work the same; they just show up in different menus are are obtained in a different manner.The point being, you can just transfer what you do to a different list and instead of it carrying the label 'item' it now carries the label 'skill'.That last remark is just because I know people get mad when you read things they obviously didn't intent. If you want to learn how to program however, you will need to keep such things in mind. Although it might be obvious, it isn't clear. These are not the same.For example:"What is 2 + 2?"The answer might be "an equation"The answer might be "The addition of one value to another."What is obvious, is not nessecarily clear, and so will not nessecarily give you the answer you seek. The interpreter isn't going to fix your inaccuracies and is going to have to guess at this rate a lot of times. In real life, when you want to use a language to actually communicate this is a bother to the receiver; you're putting more work on then than nessecary and they might not understand you.>I didn't do anything wrongYou know reacting like that makes you sound underage. I don't care. I tried not to hurt your feelings, but they got hurt anyway. It's your choice to see it as an attempt at someone hurting you rather than a message to help you realize, you're more skilled and capable than you claim.
>>3842248That's not how hypotheticals works. If you're imagining a person asking "What's the difference?" or even "What is 2+2?", then you're also imagining their situation. So the answer, and their entire process of speaking to no-one-in-particular, is a rhetorical one. If you're going to pretend that the answer is "an equation", then you must have a hypothetical scenario in mind, in which a person's understanding, or misunderstanding, pivots on the semantics of meer categorization.Otherwise, if you insist on maintaining uncertainty, then objectively, you can't justify labeling your response, "an answer" or "a solution". Because. You. Don't. Know.And when you admit "I don't know what you're asking; but I know the answer." then the uncertainty collapses into a conclusion: You want to argue; not cooperate.

Is there a way to use bigger tilesets in 2003? I know I can just replace the tiles I don't use, but that has its limits.
>>3843814iirc, r2k has the change tileset command. So you could swap tilesets at certain places of the map.
Now I'm thinking about skill management and making enemy attack patterns less painful to setup.
Still p happy with my phantasy star style cutscene CG cutins
>>3844010Why does he keep asking the same question over and over?
>>3844032you've exhausted his dialogue
>>3843964That's got to be the biggest bottleneck in rpg development. The default presets are decent, but there's no quick way add them into enemy attack patterns. And expanding the skill list means reorganizing EVERYTHING.
>>3843814The resolution of the tiles as well as the quantity of tiles per tileset in 2k3 are set with no way to change them. However, just like 2k >>3843875 there is a command for changing the whole tileset out for a different one that's been setup.Mainly this is supposed to be used for a "changing seasons" effect, because the map data remains the same. If the map tile at coordinate x12,y48 is the 55th lower layer tile, then changing the tileset won't stop the tile at x12,y48 from being the "55th" tile; but it will change what depends on the tileset data. (walkable can become blocked; walking sound effects change; upper layer can change from beneath characters to above characters; etc etc)That said, it's not completely hopeless if you need "more" tiles. You simply have to change the layout of the tileset graphics/data so that it's more obviously divided into sections... And then change the tileset when the least number of identical tiles are present on the screen with an on-touch event or a parallel event check on the player's X/Y coordinate on the map to swap tilesets seamlessly.
>>3844147Example:The player is in a "red" tileset section of the map (which is currently tileset A)Then they walk into the green-colored guard house (the guard house uses only the first 32 lower layer tiles) to talk to the NPC guard there.When the player talks to the guard to step aside and walk past automatically, the tileset changes to tileset B. All of the green guard house tiles are in the same spot in the tileset layout, so nothing on screen changes... but the rest of the tileset does change.This new set changes the previously "red" section of the tileset to "blue" so now the player has stayed on the same map, but the map effectively has two sections (one red, the other blue) each with 112 "unique" tiles on each side of it.As long as the player is not able to cheat a view of the other section (which WILL appear wrong with the alternate tile layout!) and the screen remains identical when the change happens, they'll never know the tileset was actually changed.This effect can be repeated as many times as you like on the same map, just remember to set a variable for which tileset the map is supposed to be, when the player enters a specific section of it... Otherwise you'll end up with "door" graphics on the 66th position being replaced with "tree" graphics or something, depending on the tileset layout.

A bit of "old school" cave tech seems to still have some life in it for those chasing certain authentic retro text effects and drop shadow styles/stroke/outline effects (as well as potentially using "fake anti-aliased" fonts of higher resolutions).The required setup is something like>prepare a png/bmp image of your font in your preferred style/dimensions and optionally, with width indicators if going for a proportional font>prepare a string variable with your glyph layout mapped to the respective positions of the glyphs in the image>prepare a string variable with the text you want to print>display an "invisible/blank" string picture in the location where you want the text to appear>establish baseline coordinates where you'll start drawing text to in the blank string pictureThe general pipeline looks something like this:>parse string and extract the next glyph to prepare it for display (and remove the glyph at index 0, as we seek to empty the string to determine when the process should end)>seek position of glyph and store index to variable>display glyph off-screen>evaluate width by scanning the top row for the designated width marker color (in this case, FF00FF) or breaking the check once out of the glyph's range>copy the pixel data to temporary space for the width/height of the current glyph>write the pixel data to the current aimed-at location on the blank string picture>advance draw coordinates>repeat above until the string variable with your printed text has been emptied outI can't speak to performance metrics but this seems to scale up a lot better than replicating similar effects with string picture display loops where increasing amounts of RAM get chewed up and lag generated as displaying multiple string pics in rapid succession like this is really not good for performance. Meanwhile, Edit Pixel loops like this maintain lag-free performance with no regard for the size or amount of what you're doing.

"learning to code" is such a false concept when it comes to ruby/JS especially, anything you do in a scripting language is on the back of a library that already has methods for everything you could ever want to do
>>3845779>>implying you ever had ityeah totally fair point, i tend to get hyped on building a possibility then get deflated when it is now possible but has to be actuated. so im probably going to take advantage of it by abstracting all these event clusters i dont feel like copy-pasting and fine tuning, into plugin routines that i can call with script event block one linersthe other thing is, my game is "level" based, but each level requires its own "interior" plot and such besides the overarching plot connecting each level and the hubworld. and i just really get bored of thinking about these limited-engagement sidequest type content. its probably a symptom of bad design upstream, like why would there even be npcs with quests that have no bearing on the hubworld and its destiny, which is what the protagonist is here to secure in the first place?
>>3845784>Why have NPCs with Quests?In theory it adds to the illusion that there are people living their lives in this world. -Monsters disrupting the highway-Slay them all-New merchandise in shops available.

>>3845749Yes, unite has a call unity scene for mini games with a variable. Regards are tricky for the 3D battles because they need to be coded in so they carry over, and so is the return to the title or map scene on game over or win. Also Ddol aka dint destroy on load objects need to be avoided because if they carry on the 2d scene you'll either bog the game or bug it out with a 3d character in a 3d world. And you won't be able to interact with anything.

>>3844252I was disapoined years ago that resources went offline , paywalled and arent being collected. I would imagine 4chan would have its own unified art style by now>>3845264a booru for assets is a good idea
>>3846050Kek
I've always wanted to talk shop about modernism, post-modernism, and metamodernism. A modernist RPG presents a world as if it's real, and bases system mechanics off the lore. For example, werewolves are weak to silver. So silver weapons might have a damage modifiers, or silver equipment and accessories might have some stat debuff if worn by a werewolf. A post-modern RPG is more self-aware. It breaks the 4th wall, as characters acknowledge their stats and levels. And system limitations. A metamodernist game is basically an MMO. The world is usually presented like a modernist. But occasionally there are side quests to overcome things like level caps.
>>3846105>a booru for assets is a good ideaYes it is. Im at work or I would Google it, but what is the easiest and free booru variation to run? And what country would need to host it? I imagine to avoid bad will from artist and companies, you would need to stamp sample across assets that are still available for purchase on steam or itchio.
The Resource Request board gets used a lot to recommend DLC. It's not meant for that purpose, but the moderators insist on moving every asset related discussion there.
>>3846307>The Resource Request board gets used a lot to recommend DLC. It's not meant for that purpose, but the moderators insist on moving every asset related discussion there.I was looking for some monster sprites yesterday. There is a lot of autism in the mods of that board.I guess you have to have a lot of autism to keep control over a forum with giant fans of rpg maker. But there 100% is a "play by tbe Rulezzz!" Mentality over there
Commercialization of rpgmaker games was a mistake. Rpgmaker should be for the most copyright infringing shit imaginable be it sprites, music, sounds, etc. I'd rather play some guy's free fanfic game than ever spend a single cent on something made just to try to make money.
>>3846348I mean, you can do that. Johnny law cant stop you from dumping other people's games to a project folder and robbing the assets or using some of the descriptors out there.Imo its less monetization that changed things as social media and the death of forums. There used to be a lot of free content out there before Facebook.You cant depend on the official forum. They have to keep their nose clean because they are selling an official product. People would have a shit if they allowed the posting of stolen assets.20 years ago you could get all kinds of stolen shit. People were remaking snes and mega drive sprites and sharing them
>>3846348Trials of Mana 2 is a pretty good rpgm game ( or whatever the hell that gameis called. Seiken Densetsu 3 pt 2 ? )
>>3845130Let's talk about your furry character. Who is he? What is his modus operandi? Why is he always making breakfest? Is he infatuated with Succour, or is it something else?
anyone's got a crack of the Rosedale MZ Collision plugin and tool ? I don't wanna cash out 25 for this
>>3846620There's not a lot to him. I use Succour and coyote (not even a proper name) as genAI subjects. For the Resurrection Jam, I just threw them in at the last minute because I had them. So Succour became the "godling" and coyote became the "titan". There was joke at the end about dragoons and "gooning". But it was cringe.In retrospect, I should have used "Delicious in Dungeon" for inspiration. There's a lot of similarities. At the start of the story, the goal was to resurrect the sister character who was eaten by a dragon in a dungeon. There wasn't much of her remains in the dragon's stomach for a resurrection spell, so they used dragon meat as filler. There's an interesting philosophy on digestion, converting body mass from one identity to another. Instead, I was thinking more along the lines of Dionysus, devoured by titans but regenerated in Zeus' thigh. Or Venus/Aphrodite being born from Uranus' castration (in the sea) while his blood on the earth became giants. The gods, or Uranus in particular, have so much vitality and fertility that severed body parts don't die, they take on a life of their own.
>>3846690My prologue text scroll was nondescript as well. I wrote a vague statement "There was an incident", so I could elaborate on it later on. "The primordial titans feasted on a newborn god, then were cast into tartarus for their crime. Except for (you)."Reading that literally, it would imply that eating a god is a crime. And that reviving a god would redeem them. That the titan was seeking to release his kind. But it's loose enough to squeeze in revisions and reinterpretation. Like why (you) weren't involved in this "incident", but made responsible for resurrecting the godling.Ideas change. Before I went with dra-goons, I was playing with the idea of "chuds".
Worked on my little dumb game. Got half of black jack working. Lot of stuff is still wonky. But its progress
>>3846086is plugin dev still ES5/6 JS in Unite? how do you like the engine overall
>>3846690>>3846753Ok. Focusing on interpersonal drama. Saving someone's sister is self explanatory. "She's my sister!"I think you got to explain what is going on between the godling and titans.
>>3846875I don't disagree with you. But the mode of storytelling is challenging. While the sister in Delicious in Dungeon was dead, her backstory and relationships were filled out via campfire flashback memories of the people that knew her. My One Screen RPG has 1 point of view, and few checkpoints. Revealing letters or found footage would be nonsensical in this setting.
>>3847009Then make a sequel using a different format. Or a "remake" that isn't one screen.
>>3845716Here's some more of the goodies I made.
How's your sex scenes coming along?
*twiddles thumbs*>clicks refresh
Thread sure is dead
Gee I wonder why
Human waifus are a lot of responsibility. And you know how RPG Maker devs lose interest after a few days. I'm just concerned.
>>3847525I'm just saying, I'm looking for closure.
