Help with platformer script issues [XP]

[Achturn]

Greetings all that read this thread, I thank you for taking time out of your day to try and help me

I am currently working on a platformer game in RPG Maker XP, and I have found that there are some things I need some help with, as I do not know much coding as it is.

First let me specify, for the jumping I am currently using a code that I found on a japanese website a long time ago that I happened upon again recently, it functions moderately well but there are some things I was hoping to alter but I don't have the slightest idea how to do so, I'll post the code first:

     $game_player.direction_fix = false

     $game_player.xrxs50_direction_sidefix = false

   end

 end

end

Now, at this point in time the code causes a very angular jump, where the player goes up at an angle and then sharply changes direction downward, It was my thought that maybe if they traveled a tile ahead before falling the jump would at least look slightly more arched and less like they hit something (I'm using pixel movement as well right now if that helps anything at all).
The gravity of the descent is also rather odd, it seems like the player slows down on the fall, but I don't know where to change that to speed it up even slightly. So if someone could help me fix up the code to alleviate these issues it'd be much appreciated.

On a similar note, I would like to remove upward movement in the script, but not remove the up key itself.
To explain this: I would like to get rid of the player's ability to move up on the map, but I am working on my sprite set so that when facing up, the player looks up, and also be able to shoot upward as well by pressing up, while not being able to move up (If that was worded a little confusing I can try to show an example of what I mean).

I do have more questions but rather than pile up a list I'd be happy if someone could just help me with these things, I'm wholeheartedly willing to credit all those who've helped me in any way, and I thank in advance all those who offer to help at all

Thank you again

You should use Kain Nobel's Jump script, as it is not Japanese. search for in the scripts forum.
