Advanced Mission Skills/Shop/Manager V1.2

[Trickster]

Advanced Mission Skills/Shop/Manager
Version: 1.1

Introduction
This is another Mission/Quest Script, this script is similiar to the system found in Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. You can setup a shop where mission info is sold and the player goes to complete the mission. Also includes mission skills, skills that the heroes have (combat skills, gathering skills, negotiation skills) similiar to that of FFTA (can be turned on or off). Missions have requirements to be on the board and to be accepted. Also includes a penalty for quitting a mission, a failure penalty for failing the mission and reward for completing the mission.

Instructions

Copy the file Missions.rxdata from the Data Folder of the demo to your projects Data Folder, here you can change the characteristics of each mission, there are five examples the commands are pretty much self explanatory except for the rewards and requirements

Spoiler: Setting up Mission Skills (Adding Deleting)

Located in the Script Data Structure located near the bottom is class Game_MissionSkills, just change/add/delete the attr_reader and the instance variables declared in the initialize method to get what you want

Spoiler: Customizing

Located in the Script Constants/Windows is the list of Constants that affect how the script is ran what they do is self explanatory, but if not that's why those lines have been commented

Spoiler: Calling the script

If you want the Mission shop just type using a call script event command
$scene = Scene_Mission.new(area)
where area is the mission area (affects which missions are shown if you defined it)

If you don't want the Mission shop just type
$game_party.missions.push(id)
where id is the id of the mission

Mission completion/failure
$game_missions[id].completed = true
$game_missions[id].failed = true

where id is the id of the mission

Giving Out Rewards
$scene = Scene_Reward.new(id, reward)

where id is the id of the mission and if reward is true gives the reward else shows the failure screen be sure to place a wait count
before calling these lines

Examples of all of these calls are given in the demo

Author's Notes

Completely rewritten there is no backwards compatibility with the older version

 

[Draken]

w00t! You finally posted it!

I said it once, and I'll say it again! Amazing script, man.

 

[Sqauner]

Nice script trickster! I may use it!

 

[green raven]

Your script owns..it reminds me of FFTA so do the icons :D

 

[Draken]

I believe thats where they came from :P

 

[Onsokamaru]

Well, since no one took my request for a mission screen,i think i'll be using this one. Looks great, but i think that obvious coming from Trickster.
Great work!

 

[Master InuYasha]

Wow....just wow. Its amazing what you scripters can do.... :D

 

[Trickster]

Wow so many replies, thanks

I suggest that you go through the demo and see the system in action, then look at the mission related events (especially the ones that can be repeated), There are only five missions in the demo 2 of which can be accessed through special conditions (gold less than 250 and combat level less than level 5) though I don't want to spoil the example missions, I'll just let you see for yourself.

Spoiler: Off Topic Battle System

The Battle System is just a few things I put together, the actual base of the battle system is from a request I did awhile back I just added a few features to it. The status window like I stated before can be access when you hold down the SHIFT button. The Animated Front View Battlers script doesn't have that many features to match other scripts of that nature so I didn't create another topic for discussion with that. The full system may be done by th time I finish my Test Bed which will include rewritten versions of all of my scripts

 

[Master InuYasha]

I cant express how great this is! The icons rock, remind me of FFT, and its perfect, i havent seen any bugs, its perfect!

 

[Raziel]

So you finally finished it, great work.

Draken for betatesting and being a better betatester than Raz

That's not nice.

 

[Lockheart]

Woo! It's finally complete, or wait... it's complete past beta right? cause I still have the beta version.. and... err nevermind

Nice job Trickster, I'll give this version a shot.

EDIT: one question though, is it possible to get an arrow above the pages? so that people know that they can press left and right to change pages?

That's not nice.

And neither is doing a false alarm on me by MSN

Woo! It's finally complete, or wait... it's complete past beta right? cause I still have the beta version.. and... err nevermind

Nice job Trickster, I'll give this version a shot.

EDIT: one question though, is it possible to get an arrow above the pages? so that people know that they can press left and right to change pages?

I finished it up last night, all I had left was to complete the holes and clean up the code

Well It wouldn't be that hard to get the arrows by the way I coded the window. Those windows are actually made up of three parts (header, contents, and background).

 

[DerVVulfman]

Ya got a big thumbs up from me. This is a definite must-have and with your instructions... it should be completely foolproof (though some fool will find a way :D ).

[LegACy]

what's up with all this quest/mission frenzy? it makes me want to create a full pack of them...
anyway, nice job! (as always ^^)

 

[SephirothSpawn]

So you finally finished it, great work.



That's not nice.

But it is amuzing :lol:

Awesome script man. There's one script I won't see myself ever making an alternate to.

 

[ember2inferno]

Ooh! This is very useful!

Awesome work.

 

[Micklo]

Everytime I try to use the script in my game, I get a message saying: ArgumentError occured while running script. wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

How do I fix this?

 

[Sol_Fury]

Micklo, you may need to post the line that the error box is pointing to. It might be a conflict or something.

This sounds very useful. I'm going to check it out when I feel a whole lot less sleepy.
