[VX] Breath of Fire 3 - Dragon Gene System

[TywinLannister2]

@bussbuzz: I don't see why not!
Will (hopefully) be in version 1.2

 

[Aural C.E.]

I think this is a cool system, but I'd like to know a couple things:

1.) How do you get genes? I have the script set up on my game, but I have no genes to use.

2.) If you select the wrong genes you want, then back out of the menu, you'll lose the MP that the Genes totaled.

 

[busbuzz]

That and icons for the genes would make it just perfect, no way to make it better.

1 - This is not really a plug in and play script. With some work though, its not too bad, check the following instructions:

Spoiler

• The simplest thing to do for each gene is to copy the gain gene event on the demo and place that crystal within your own game.
• You need to ensure the Accession skill is skill no 5 in your database
• You need to ensure the Reverse skill is skill no 14 in your database
• You need to copy the dragon class (classes 8 - 24), make sure they are in the same place as my classes
• You need to copy the dragon states (states 17 - 33), make sure they are in the same place as my classes
• You need to copy the dragon class (classes 8 - 24), make sure they are in the same place as my classes
• Tywin_Dragon_Genes lines 555 - 631, edit these with the skills you want each dragon to learn, just replace the skill id in the brackets
• Tywin_Dragon_Genes line 684, the line
  self.set_graphic("Actor5_dot", 2, "Actor2", 0)
  change the graphic to whatever the graphic of your user is

That should sort you out

2 - This bug has been fixed, version 1.2 added, thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Wow ... and here I was attemping to make this system for XP ... xD
Do you mind if I just translate this to XP instead? xD

 

[Aural C.E.]

Ah! I see. Thanks. I saw the crystals during playtest, but didn't know that they would attribute to the Genes. Thanks for pointing them out.

 

[TywinLannister2]

@vpcdmd: I'm a firm believer in open-source! all i ask is that if you find the script useful in your work, a little credit would be nice!

@Aural C.E: A much, much more user-friendly version of this script should hopefully be added during/after the weekend

 

[vpcdmd]

Alright, thank you :D

And don't worry, I always give credit when deserved. :D

 

[busbuzz]

Youre my favorite scripter ^^ and ull be my favorite for the rest of the time!!! yay!! BOFIII is my second favorite game, but my first favorite is old and doesnt have a great system as BOFIII has. i think it has so many features making the game so intresting.

 

[TywinLannister2]
