[A] Earthbound CMS Request [Detailed Description]

Just to let you know, I may be working on this. I say that because I've started coding, but may not finish in a couple of days.

If anyone else has worked on this already, let me know and I'll stop progress.

EDIT: Forgot my questions!

[0]
If you are using custom script(s) that override default classes, PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE let me know and post the links/upload them here so I can try and merge all of them.

[1]
I'm trying to provide a somewhat extensive but easily modified configuration system. However, I'm a bit confused on some data to use for the default settings:
- For the equipments, what Actor variables should I use for Body and Arms? Currently I have them set to actor.armor3_id (Body) and actor.armor2_id (Helmet) respectively.
- I'm just dumbfounded on what your status are based on. Here's what I currently have:
PHP:
STATUS_MNAME         = 'Status'
VAR_STATUS_LEVEL     = 'actor.level'
STATUS_LEVEL         = 'Level'
VAR_STATUS_OFFENSE   = 'actor.atk'
STATUS_OFFENSE       = 'Offense'
VAR_STATUS_DEFENSE   = 'actor.pdef'
STATUS_DEFENSE       = 'Defense'
VAR_STATUS_1         = 'actor.agi'
STATUS_1             = 'Fight'        # 'Speed'
VAR_STATUS_2         = 'actor.mdef'
STATUS_2             = 'Force'        # 'Guts'
VAR_STATUS_3         = 'actor.dex'
STATUS_3             = 'Speed'        # 'Vitality'
VAR_STATUS_4         = 'actor.str'
STATUS_4             = 'Strength'     # 'IQ'
VAR_STATUS_5         = 'actor.int'
STATUS_5             = 'Wisdom'       # 'LUCK'
Basically, your OFFENSE is based on Actor's Attack, then DEFENSE on Actor's Physical Defense; FIGHT from Actor's M. Def; FORCE from Actor's Dexterity; etc. etc.
Please let me know if you would like to change some default variables.

You wanted each character to have their own item pockets. I can do this through aliasing and overwriting classes, and it shouldn't be too hard. However, I need [0] confirmed before going further.

Uh...I'll ask more questions when it popped back to my mind. I'll check back tomorrow afternoon or so. Cheers.

P.S.: Best request thread ever. I hope you don't have complicated [0] conditions though.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again MisterSaturn. This has to be the best script request of this entire subforum, if everyone made their request like this there would be world peace (err well not really but you get the point :))

@Jack -- I did "take" this request before the hack but I haven't started on it (I stated that it wasn't a promise since I have other requests to fill before even thinking of taking another), but since you have taken this request I'll back off, but If you are also doing the CBS (which he left out this time) let me know so I won't do it myself when I get the chance. Best of luck with this request :)
 
CBS is entirely out of my field. :3

But you didn't have to back off of your CMS though. If you'd like to keep working on yours, I'm sure no one would mind, but if you have other things to attend to, I understand. Apology in advance as I thought this was a new request and no one had answered it.
 
Oh, no Jack I haven't even started on it yet, you can continue working on yours.

Ok then I'll do the CBS, I still have the link to the other thread with all of the graphics, but like I said last time MisterSaturn if someone else agrees to work on it before I get started, then I'll back-off
 
You guys are great :D
ok Jack, for your question number [0] letting you know that the only CMS related script Im using as of now is DubeAlex's AMS the other scripts I have I dont think really matter but I'll list them anyway PixelMovement by f0tz!baerchen, BattleMessage by RM2000 and Animated Battle Background by SephirothSpawn. Here is the DubeAlex one if you need it

okay, now for question number [1] Im not quite sure what you mean but I can provide you with this. these are what the Status's should be equal to the ones in the database

HP = Max HP
PP = Max SP
Offense = ATK
Defense = PDEF
Fight = DEX
Force = MDEF
Speed = AGI
Strength = STR
Wisdom = INT

if that helps. Again, not sure what you mean by the Actor Variable thing cause im not really good with scripting myself, can you maybe explain again so I can understand what you mean? Sorry. If you have anymore questions dont hesitate to ask.

@Trickster, Thanks, took me like 30 minutes to put that request together but its worth it If I want it done right.
Also, if you plan on doing the CBS I'll make a topic for it, I still have the description.:)

@SephirothSpawn, Thanks also, I did the best I could.
 
For "Talk to" and "Check" commands, how exactly do you want them interpreted?

For example, currently my "Talk to" command works by checking for /A/ syntax (signifies "Actor") in the Event's name. If this is true, then process the event; else, don't process. When the event is processed, the Menu is disposed, and the event is run.
However, if there's nothing to "Talk to", it will dispose the Menu and display a specified null message. By default variable, a message window will display "Who are you talking to?".

I believe this is close to Earthbound's style of disposing the menu, albeit keeping the windows open while executing the event. Is this acceptable for you?

That is very much acceptable , However, I just realized, how would you make it so that you cant talk to certain events that are not human or a living thing, example: if you want to talk to an NPC you would have to choose talk to, but if you want to read a sign, you would have to choose check. How would the script know if the sprite is an NPC or just a sign? Do you think you can figure out a way to do this?

If you guys don't mind me joining this conversation for a bit.

It would be easy to check I believe. Have some variable that would check for it. As in maybe Talk(1) would be "talk to" and Talk(2) would be "examine"

When you make an event you'd make conditional branches that would check which variables are being used to examine it. For the sign, it would check for "Talk(2)". If the person is not examining, you can either make another Talk(1) branch that says "You idiot, since when can you talk to signs?" or you can just have an else case where nothing happens.

I've personally been a HUGE fan of Mother and would be thrilled if this CBS could be done (though I wish I wasn't so busy or I'd offer help to you, MisterSaturn)
 
I found a way by opening the variable to a Game_Event's event variable, which is a RPG::Event class, the "prime rib" of Event information. Within this contains the name of the event that are specified during Map/Event Editing.

In other words, if 'event' is a Game_Event command, I can call 'event.event.name' to get its Event name, and use that to differentiate between animate and inanimate objects.

Currently, I have set a system where if an Event contains '/A/' within its name, it is classified as an animate, and should not be processed when CHECKed. Likewise, an event with '/I/' is classified as inanimate, which will not be processed when TALKed to. These two syntaxes are derived from constants, however; they can be changed to your liking if you wish to use another, more convenient special syntaxes. EDIT: In addition, events that do not contain either syntaxes will be processed when either talked or checked upon. I'm setting myself on a trap. Just use both syntaxes if you want an event to be called through both methods.

Though this skeleton is working so far, I have unfortunately encountered a difficulty where a null message is shown if there's no (in)animate objects available to be talked to/checked upon. The problem is that the null message ("Who are you talking to?") is shown through Message command, but as soon as you press Enter (C Button) to dispose it, it activates the Game_Player's update method which calls upon the nearest person/item of the player. Even though the null message is shown, the event is processed as well, destroying the former meaning. I'll ask around and see if I can find a solution, but if I can't figure this out by the end of the week, I may need to look for another alternative.

I hope this lengthy post explains how your desired Talk/Check system works.

EDIT: Okay, so far I've only found Dubealex's AMS and f0tz!baerchen's Pixel Movement scripts, but only the former is truly compatible with my current version. I'd like to request your CURRENT game project because it'll be easier for me to work under the environment where all the settings are already done to your needs. Please let me know of your decision about this ASAP; I'll continue to work on this but will ignore any script additions...for the moment.
 
Nope
[edit] Ok Jack, check your PM Inbox, I sent you the project. You'll notice that I took the Pixel Movement out of the Script Editor, I was having some problems with it that I couldnt figure out how to fix. I still have the script saved though.
 
so whats the update?

Did you figure out how to fix that?

Yep, that problem's fixed. Good ol' Game_Temp.

Sorry for the lack of update. It's Finals week for me, and things have been rough lately. So far, I've finished Main Menu design + Gold window, Talk/Check feature, and Status menu. I've taken the liberty to add a setting in Gold window where you can specify whether or not you want to use Cents for your desired currency (also changable, but default is $).

After Tuesday, progress should return to normal rate. I'll work on Equip menu next since Item will take longer to do (because of individual inventory feature you requested).

Every string you see is editable in one page (thank constants and eval() for that). Cosmetics, however, is a different story. :>
