XPtize VX (Scripter Needed To complete the project)

[busbuzz]

XPtize Your VX

Demo available

This Are the Mapping tools to make your VX look like XP just follow instructions

As you might know, VX has a limited number of tiles available to play with so you must have a selection of tiles depending of your gamming needs. I created the complete Mapping tools to make VX look like XP and this will make your old character sets useful again

How it works:
Simply put these files into your project "System" folder and replace the older ones. then put this script over main to remove autoshadows. The shadows will be shown in map editor but not in the game

Spoiler: Autoshadow Killer Script

#Credits for Abt Plouton

class Game_Map

  attr_writer :autoshadows

  def autoshadows

    # Set autoshadows to false if it is not yet defined

    @autoshadows = @autoshadows == nil ? false : @autoshadows

    return @autoshadows

  end

  alias ma_remove_auto_shadows_on_setup setup

  def setup (map_id)

    ma_remove_auto_shadows_on_setup (map_id)

    # Rather than repeatedly call a method, set a local variable to have it's data

    ma_data = data

    return if autoshadows

    # For all squares on the map

    for x in 0...ma_data.xsize

      for y in 0...ma_data.ysize

        # If there is an autoshadow on this tile

        if ma_data[x,y,1] == 0

          # Delete auto Shadow

          ma_data[x,y,1] = ma_data[x,y,0]

          ma_data[x,y,0] = 0

        end

      end

    end

  end

end

and enjoy

The doors:
Put the doors in "characters" folder and replace existing one. This will make the doors work for the automatic door maker. The Large doors are for AlphaZ template

Looks cool! However, this forum is for original pixel art. Edits go in Frankenstein's Lab, so I'm punting this over there.

 

[busbuzz]

oh ok thx. I think i have some links to this topic, do they still work?

 

[MagitekElite]

Wow, I can't believe someone actually did this! o.O

It makes me want to use VX! :D
Thanks, busbuzz!

 

[busbuzz]

NP i did this some years ago, i will update this soon

 

[MagitekElite]

Can't wait to see the update! :D

 

[silver wind]

Wow, I may end up using VX after all.

 

[MagitekElite]

You should expand this thread to the VX community, I have a feeling a lot of members there would love this. :D

 

[busbuzz]

I will, i just need to complete it, ill improve all the tiles and then make everything else characters, i will need scripters too to complete the mapping system

there are waste spaces in the tiles, all the decorative small things will be converted to characters, then , trees and stuff like that will be made from characters too but i want a script that removes the passability to some sides of certain different character images, so for example if i use the character Big tree.png the script sets that to the right, left and up of that character there is no passability. that way i can even add animated trees.
different animations depending on the weather

 

[MagitekElite]

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. Do you know any scripting that will help you just a bit?

 

[busbuzz]

I dont script, ill need a scripter. i wanna learn though. the script will be editable, its just like this:

editable script for events with an editable list

"tree1.png" [0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[0,1][1,1],[1,-1][-1,0]

and editing lines like that means that passability in those areas from the event = false and just adding more lines like that would add more characters with the passability, that way you could add a tree as a character and not worry about the passability

 

[MagitekElite]

Oh, I wish I knew how to script, or I'd help you out lol
You could always check Zeriab's threads, or the threads at RRR or RMK. I don't know if this forum has any scripting threads (tutorials and stuff) but I know the others do :D

As for getting people to help, I hope they do. This project will be big, and their help would help make it bigger ^.^

 

[PandoraShock]

Why use this when you can use RPG Maker XP stuff in vx normally. Nice work though :]

 

[MagitekElite]

He's making the tilesets match with his templates :D

 

[busbuzz]

lol what do u mean normaly? it doesnt match the rtp, with this the mapping system wint look awful anymore and the game making will be easier and friendlier

 

[MagitekElite]

Oh yea, and to mention...it will match ^.^

If you just used VX tilesets in XP, the doors and stuff would be way to small. >.>

 

[busbuzz]

if u use Xp stuff in VX the tiles dont match and the doors are too small, like ratholes, also it matches my custom characters

 

[MagitekElite]

They certainly do.

I know the RTPs match a bit, but the AlphaZ characters match a whole lot better :lol:

 

[busbuzz]

Im working on this right now, im changing everything!!!! u will all love this.

i think ill merge the two threads as soon as im finished

 

[MagitekElite]

I'm already sold on the new VX project you are working on ^.^
