RMXP: Tile-dependent Footsteps

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Script Request Template

Script Title:
Footsteps
RMXP or RMVX:
RMXP
Detailed Description:
This is a major feature that was once existed in RM2K3 where you can hear footsteps depending on the tile you step on. And I believed this was once used in Cell Chamber: Chicane, and was done by eventing in Iron Gaia 2. Since I've collected a handful of footstep SFX clips from different games, especially from MMORPGs, I would like it to use it in RMXP.

Screen shots:

I'm using it and it works like a charm. I never tried turning it off, but there is a section that says enabled = true/false so I think you should be able to turn it on/off whenever you want. Also, I believe he's still active so if you need any help with it, you can just pm him.

Now I need how to increase the terrain tag counts, instead of default 7.

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

i dont think u can...

 

[Atoa]

There's an script that allows you to add terrain higher than 7, if i'm not wrogn it was done by sephirot spwn, but i don't have the link (actually, i'm looking for it too...)

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

u can add them in a script sure, but wont the editor allways only let u choose 7 ya? meaning lots of work via script?

 

[Yin]

Yeah, that seems like it would be complicated.
