.commenting on a project with no gameplay information at all. ME - Gameplay is the core of your game, please think about it. SOME GUY - WTF?
You kidding me? That game has awesome gameplay man!
ME - I'm very curious as to how you can tell since there is no information whatsoever. THE GUY - Simply by seeing the author uses Zeus81's Ultimate AMS! That's more than good enough for me!
(Zeus81's Ultimate AMS is a script which improves the player's movement inside the game) (thinking hard for something clever to answer) ME - Right. So your ultimate enjoyment in a video game is to move your character. You stick to the simple bare necessities, as said the great philosopher Baloo. Hello to all of ACMS fans. Today, here's a special preview of ACMS's upcoming features. It's a small tweak which makes the main menu character-oriented - that is, instead of selecting an option, then selecting an actor, you select an actor using L and R buttons and all options will apply to them. I thought of that when looking at some people's feedback, saying they wouldn't use ACMS because their game only featured a single character.
So, now, no matter how many characters your game has, you may choose between both interfaces. As my faithful followers already know, it's been a while since I wrote the v2.00 for the. Back then I said it would take a while for me to update all themes to match this new version's specifications. Well I was damn right, it has taken a while.:p But now everything's up and working, and ready to work with my latest contribution, the. Also, I made four different demos for each theme, since they don't include the script anymore, but rather read it from the Script Manager, and thus work with the exact same copy.
Guess they will serve as demos for the Script Manager as well.;). Then don't bother trying it, it is no longer needed to use my scripts like it used to be. It is useful, however, if you:. wish to use the same script(s) in a variety of projects/demos and keep all of them up-to-date at all times. wish to experiment with installing or uninstalling scripts without actually modifying your projects. are a scripter and wish to test scripts in development withtout actually modifying your projects.
have lots of scripts and wish to automate their extraction/installation. I initially designed the Script Manager to make my life as a scripter easier. I had this pack of scripting tools I called Moonpearl's Common, I kept updating (and am still updating every now and then) and I found it annoying to copy the newer version to all of my demos with each tiny change - plus, I sometimes wasn't able to tell which project had which version.
Now I don't have this problem anymore because there's only one copy of those scripts on my hard disk, which all of my projects use at any time. The Script Manager is essentially a scripter's tool. This means that as a casual RPG Maker user, trying and get it to work is probably too much trouble for you. It used to be a necessary feature for hits blog's demo, but starting with the latest update, it isn't anymore. Demos are now hybrid - that is, they have their own built-in copy of the custom scripts they use, which you can simply copy/paste to your own projects, and also meaning that they are stand-alone - but on the other hand, if a Script Manager is present on your system, they can also use it and override their internal scripts, allowing you to take advantage of its benefits.
For example, when I update one of my scripts, you can simply download the new version and replace your older copy with it in your RTP folder, and all Script Manager-using projects will automatically run the newer version instead of the older one they still have in memory, which saves you a lot of copying & pasting. In the end it's completely up to your own preference, now both ways work without hindering each other. Go to your RTP folder (default Program Files/Common Files/Enterbrain/RGSS/Standard) and create a new folder called Scripts. This will be referred to as the shared scripts folder. Download the ZIP file and extract it to the shared scripts folder. Go to your project's folder and create a new folder called Scripts. This will be referred to as the local scripts folder.
If you already have scripts installed in your project, drag-and-drop your project's folder onto the Script Manager Project Exporter shortcut. This will create a Local folder in your local scripts folder. Create a new file called Script Manager.ini inside the local scripts folder. Download the script bundles you wish to install to your projects and unzip them to the shared scripts folder. Edit your project's Script Manager.ini file and name the scripts you wish to install to your project (one per line). At this time your project's scripts have not been modified. Drag-and-drop your project folder onto the Script Manager Project Loader shortcut to run it.This will load your project using the scripts you have previously named - this will not modify your project's scripts.
When everything works fine and you are ready to replace your project's scripts with the selection you have made with the Script Manager, drap-and-drop your project's folder onto the Script Manager Project Builder shortcut. From then on loading your project with the Script Manager or running the Game.exe file will have the same outcome. For you to get a better understanding of my insight regarding this issue, let me tell you about this blog's history. I've written scripts for RMXP for several years now.
My Ruby skills have improved a lot in the process (and still is), so there are some of them I've simply abandoned, others I've not completed yet. At first I just wanted to use them for my own projects. I believed sharing them would only result in people downloading them and not even saying thank you. Then I subscribed to a French game-making board thinking: why not just discuss this hobby of mine and share thoughts about it? And that changed my mind, because I realized discussing scripts and helping people with their issues gave me the courage to write even more scripts and excel myself. I realized that the day I wrote the Animated Custom Menu System's very first version - because this was the first time I had written a full system for someone else.
So I started to consider sharing my other works. I must admit I was pretty reluctant. What if people stole them and claimed them as their own? What if people didn't like them or otherwise didn't give a damn? And most importantly, since the point was for me to keep encouraged in exchange for the time and energy I'd spent, what if people just grabbed what they could and never provide any feedback? Well, I wasn't quite wrong about that last point, since virtually nobody has ever commented on my works unless they had something to request - and the bigger the request, the more praise they felt they had to provide. Anyways, I decided to do it, and here we are.
Seems perfectly fine as is, now doesn't it? However, when you think about it, several issues can arise with that simple, straightforward architecture:. If you want to add a new window to the scene, you are forced to rewrite its main method entirely, because it's in a single piece. Thus you cannot use two scripts at the same time, which modify the same scene, because the latter will systematically override the former one. All RMXP scenes rely on this same architecture, thus the same lines are written over and over again, which is unnecessary repeating. Because of 2., if you'd like to tweak all scenes at once (for example modify the transition at the beginning for all scenes), then you have to rewrite all of them one after one.
Here's an overview of how the SceneBase class works. Class SceneBase def main call setup begin loop frame update call update end loop call terminate end def def setup create windows/sprites and list all of them in @sprites end def def update update all windows/sprites listed in @sprites end def def terminate erase all windows/sprites listed in @sprites (dispose) end def end class Now let's see how we could write an entirely new scene using this architecture. Class MyScene under superclass SceneBase # No need to redefine main method def setup create windows/sprites and list all of them in @sprites end def def update call superclass's method check for inputs and do the appropriate stuff for each key end def # No need to redefine terminate method end class One can easily see the first benefit, which is a substantial saving of code, which in turns means a substantial saving of time and energy. But that's not all. Suppose we further want to edit our new scene as an independant script, while not rewriting everything from scratch. Here's how to add a new window/sprite: class MyScene under superclass SceneBase # No need to redefine main method def setup call former code create a new window/sprite and add it to @sprites end def # No need to redefine update method # No need to redefine terminate method end class This is just enough since our new window/sprite is listed in the @sprites Array, which means both update and terminate will handle it as any other previously created window/sprite. Likewise, suppose we now want to ass new functions to our scene, for example make it able to respond to a new key.
Class MyScene under superclass SceneBase # No need to redefine main method # No need to redefine setup method def update call former code check for the new input and act accordingly end def # No need to redefine terminate method end class As you can see, we stick each time only to the necessary edits. Furthermore, this allows several edits of the same scene to coexist, because we do never rewrite a part of the code, we only expand it with new features, always calling the older version.
As an example of how powerful this architecture can be, you can have a look at my SceneMenuBase class, from the. This allows all menu scenes to exhibit common features (namely, a background image and a scrolling overlay). I'm sort of a dinosaur in the world of video games. I was born in the 80's, and I spent a very long time without a gaming console, nor even a PC - just old computers, with old video games (and when I say old, I mean older than pretty much anything you'd have in mind), and RPG came only very late in my life. At the time, there were no real genres - since the games were lacking on the multimedia side, they had to be interesting, and quite unique, if they were to catch your eye. Rather, they were roughly categorized into action/arcade, puzzle, strategy and 'adventure'. This last category could have held RPGs as we know them today, if there was only any chance that they could have developed at that time.
The 'adventure' category was further roughly divided into two styles - humourous, puzzle-like adventure games (think LucasArts's Monkey Island), and serious role-playing video games (which should be the ones to deserve the title of RPG, but which I refer to as 'RPG-ancestors' to avoid confusion). So, it all started with those 'RPG-ancestors'. Historically, they would be videogame adaptations of classical 'pen-and-paper' role-playing games (think Dungeons & Dragons), and as such, would present the player with incredibly rich and detailed worlds, and countless possibilities. Just like a PnP role-player, you were thrown into a full-scaled universe with lots of place to visit and lots of people to talk to - and more importantly, no one sticking out to tell you what to do, or stop you if you would try and go somewhere while that was not the time yet. Though appreciated by fans, this extreme freedom would sadly overwhelm the newcomer, and make these very complex games, which required weeks of experimentation before they could be enjoyed to their fullest. For this reason, 'RPG-ancestors' were particularily geeky games. Then, one day, there was Final Fantasy.
Upon its release, Final Fantasy was kind of a UFO among 'adventure games'. It was neither puzzle-like, nor hardcore-roleplaying-game-like.
Actually, there was pretty much nothing to do other than follow NPC's instructions who told you where to go and what to do, just a few battles here and there to keep the player interested. For the first time in videogame history, you could enjoy an epic adventure without even thinking about it. So you can only imagine how it soon became a hit. And thus, Final Fantasy started a long-lasting tradition of brainless adventures, where you just have to sit and enjoy, and occasionally bash a few buttons to take down overpowered enemies. This is what we call RPG nowadays, and this is what I've come to dislike more than any other kind of videogames. 'Role-playing games' is an usurped title for this generation of videogames.

A game would be called 'role-playing' provided the roleplaying aspect makes any difference, wouldn't it? Twin usb ps2 driver. Roleplaying means speaking in place of the character, it means taking decisions for him, and that implies being given the opportunity to do so. Where in a classical RPG do you take any decisions, even regarding what to say to NPCs?
And by that, I mean real decisions, some which have an influence, make any difference in the game's unfolding - dummy choices are just a joke, you could program some in Pong and it wouldn't make it a RPG, now would it? The 'roleplaying' part is limited to moving the main character and make choices about his equipment, and whether he should attack or drink a potion in battle. If this is enough for a role-playing game, then it makes Doom a RPG (and a much more thrilling one, by the way). Non-interactive storylines Considering you don't do anything except fight endlessly, it's only natural that whatever you may do has no influence whatsoever on the way the storyline is going to unfold. A few RPGs offer multiple endings (and by multiple I mean just 2 or 3), but it's often not even about important choices in the storyline's perspective - rather, you get another ending because you've chosen this character to join your party over that one, or because you haven't completed some obscure sidequest. The very word 'storyline' says it all - we don't even start to think about making scenari something else than a dull, flat line. I'm struck by how we have incredibly sophisticated ways of rendering stunning graphics, and how much passion and energy is put into putting together breathtaking music that matches the game's atmosphere perfectly, whereas we still stick to prehistoric, extremely linear scenari. Even 'choose your adventure' books offer the player more interactivity than modern RPGs, whereas their concept is half a century old.
I shall discuss leads regarding how to create really interactive storylines in later posts. Remove battles from a RPG, and it's not even a game anymore. No battles means no equipment, no treasure hunt, no leveling-up, no random encounter and thus no purpose in wandering around to ultimately get and advance the storyline. Without battles, RPGs are mere movies. Refering to my previous statement, a better title for RPGs would be 'battling games', since all you really do as a sentient being, able to make decisions is battle. Now, some RPGs do have interesting batttle systems, but most of them are just about attacking absent-mindedly.

Take the RPG Maker series, which is supposed to be representative of what your standard RPG would be. Honestly, the standard battle systems they feature are so dumb they make me wonder why I quit playing Soulcalibur. I think most people enjoy RPGs for their inherent simplicity. As stated above, Final Fantasy met success because it was so simple compared to what existed at the time. I can understand that games which require much thinking and involvement can be a hassle, and to be honest I easily get tired with them as well - however, I think there's a happy medium between being required to manage tons of environmental variables at once, and being given no option at all. I make my best to give RPG Maker XP new dimensions with my scripts. I try to cross-breed RPGs with old-school adventure games, allow them to exhibit a puzzle-like aspect, and in a general manner, give the player's choices more consideration.
I hope someday I can make a heavily decision-based game which is easy and entertaining to play, but difficult to get to the best end, to demonstrate my point. And then, I'll consider classical RPGs finally outdated, in a gameplay perspective. I thought it would be nice to have framed faces displayed along with balloons, so I scripted that and decided to include it into my, although it is actually independant (please try and use it without the Balloon Messages script if you'd like and tell me if it fully works alright). Again, it's fully interfaced with RMXP's eventing system. The following screenshot was obtained by simply calling a Show Picture event command just before displaying the message - the frame and the picture's position are automatically managed by the script. Fully customizable font type and size - see the balloon adapt dynamically around your constraints.
Fully interfaced with RMXP's eventing system - no script call or any funny stuff like that ever. Fully emulates RMXP's standard messaging functions, including color change and actor name substitution. Customizable, full-color graphics for balloons using a unique Balloonskin module - which works pretty much like Windowskins.
Three Balloonskins (normal, thinking, angry) featured by default. Multiple balloons may be displayed simultaneously.
Theoretically compatible with other custom messages systems. Ever tried using a character maker? I have, and have found out that most makers have too few materials, or lack essential features, or can't be used with custom images, or use graphics which clash with RMXP's style, or which are otherwise ugly. And sometimes all of that. Making my own was an option I had been considering for a long time, so when a pal at rmxpunlimited.net asked whether someone would come up with a complete and handy maker, I felt it was the right moment for me to show off.:p That's how, within a few days, I'd completed this utility I'm pretty proud of. Abolutely, that's its very purpose - I didn't make it so that so many customization options are available for nothing.
Making your own custom theme is as difficult as making your own graphics and putting them in the appropriate folders instead of the ones that come with the download package. You might also want to edit the Animations using the database editor - so there's nothing out of the ordinary there.
Finally, you'd have to edit a few constants in the script editor, but it's nothing too big, besides all options are documented individually so you know exactly what you're doing. Need my custom pictures be the exact same size as the original ones to be positioned properly? Absolutely not.
The script takes in account the size of your pictures to determine where to place them on the screen. Possible limites are purely aesthetical (for example, if you make pictures too big, the sprites may overlap/not fit in the screen). Also, if changing a picture's size makes things funny, check whether there's an option set for this very purpose (for example actor portraits' left padding on status sprites). I don't like the windows layout/party member's info layout/type of info displayed at the bottom of the main menu, can this be changed? I've tried to use another script which modified the behavior of a menu scene along with ACMS - the scene works fine, but there's a black screen fade-in/out, and the background graphics don't appear. How can I fix that? First off, you have to convert your scene to a SceneBase subclass if it isn't already the case (see ).
Then, you have to make your scene recognized as a specific ACMS-menu. In order to do this, just write the following line right after the declaration of the class ( class YourScene. After running around dozens of maps for hours and hours trying to find the place I was supposed to go to, and of which location the game designers assumed was completely obvious, I had enough and said to myself 'Instead of giving those damned NPCs such lame, useless quotes, why couldn't they have them simply GIVE DIRECTIONS?'
So I sat at my desk and a few hours later I'd done it (which proves how easy a feature it is to implement). And today I'm sharing it with you, so that I don't spend hours looking everywhere when playing your own projects.:). What's wrong in there? It's that you get things incidentally; without actually being required to investigate, that's what I call a 'self-unfolding game' - it's just a matter of clicking around until it works, even a dumb computer could do it.
Now what if you could give virtually any answer to a given riddle, rather than choose between X options you had not even imagined yourself? What if NPCs would wait for you to prompt them with a topic, and give you clues only in response to the appropriate one? Well, my Keywords System does exactly that.
