XAS Action Rpg System (Secret Of Mana Styled)
- Thread starter herogaurdin
- Start date
@Souloux - Yes its entirely possible, if you just copy the XAS System, HUD and Misc scripts over to the translated demo you'll have the original HUD back.
Misc is the only script out of those that actually requires any translation, in which case you can copy and paste the comments over from the translated demo.
Enjoy!

I was wondering if it was possible to set it so that this script only works in a controlled area, the only examples I can think of are tales of symphonia or star ocean (3 is the only one I played, idk about the others). I want it to be set up so that I can walk around with out the HUD or monsters attacking but then if you run into a monster or vise versa it would take you two a new map where it would then have your party members out and ready to fight + the HUD(s) would show up, then upon completion of the battle you would be transferred back to where you were and the HUD would be gone again.
While I was typing this I realized that the scripts may not be set up to support other members :[
If someone could tell me how to do this step by step (because me and scripts are like fire and kittens) so that I could do this?

@haruko1126
this can be done through events and switches...
~ the "peaceful map"
you can disable the display of the HUD by turning off the assigned switch.
in RMXP press 'F11' - go to the 'MISC script'
you will see that 2 is default "DISABLE_HUD_SWITCH = 2"
so on that map make a parallel process event / control switch / set switch "2" off
~ the enemy on the peaceful map
now the have the enemy encounter event set to "event touch"
with transfer player to the "battle map"
clear all move routes
~ the "battle map"
now on this map make a parallel process event / control switch / set switch "2" on
(to display the HUD)
~the enemy on the battle map
in order to transfer back to the peaceful map after you defeat this enemy you must
edit the BATTLER script (F11) and include this monster to the "DEFEAT_SWITCH_IDS"
(the number on the left is the enemy id in the database)
(the number on the right is the switch id that will transfer you back to the peaceful map)
now last make another event on the battle map, label a new switch (example: 200 - enemy defeated)
set this event as parallel process, with transfer player and to have that defeat switch on (example: 200)
(this will transfer you back to the peaceful map)
hope this helped more then confused

@haruko1126 - Gameface outlined it quite well, I've made a demo, its pretty basic, I might work on this a bit more and upload a longer, better demo to the site.
In the meantime you can download this and get the basic idea: http://www.filefront.com/14282307/XAS.rar
The first proper demo is up on the site

3.6! has a nice world map and shop setup.
more weapons, items, and skills...
a better action display
*yet only another clue as to what the turtle (and dragon) sign will be for...
I'm calling it! water and air vehicles!!! (the suspense is killing me!)
obviously there's going to be more to look forward to!
~as if there isn't enough to play with already ^,^

@gameface - I think you're right.
I noticed Moghunter made a small error in 3.51 leaving a reference to some "boots" behind, still no sign of them or what they were going to do though.
@Ancient - I wrote an upgrade tutorial that will work for all versions - http://xasabs.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/ ... 2-to-v3-4/
I suggest you wait for my translated version before you make the upgrade though.
3.6 seems to be the biggest shake up yet, Moghunter has rearranged all the items/skills and weapons on the TOOL MAP which means all our games will require some major editing.

I loved playing 3.6 I played it for like an hour hahaha
But yeah I'm thinking fly and swim things are coming next. :D

@Link in Pink - I know what you mean
I spent an hour and twenty minutes playing it earlier, was fun getting the ShadowDancer skill - just kicks everything's ass at the touch of a button lol.
Yeah, definitely swimming and flying to come, perhaps the boots were for running without effecting the CT meter? (water, air, land)
Anyway, its late but the job is done

ok, just finished porting over my project from 3.5 to 3.6 and the pro's do out weigh the cons.
the cons: tools and animations have been rearranged so you just can't copy and paste over your work
with out reassigning standard animations, custom and standard skills, items and weapons...
now there's plenty of pro's (AP point system, fade feature for the hud, etc...)
but the most important update is how tools and combos are made...
if you are not familiar on how to make tools (weapons, items, skills)
then study how the events are made on the tool map,
and how each event has been configured through the database (weapons, items, skills tabs)
and last how each tool is set in the script editor (scripts: skills, items, and each with thier own script)
now here's a lil' script template I made for making custom tools...
(this new setup gives you way more control to fine tune tools in one place!)

THANK YOU
I've wanted a good explanation for all those things for a while now but I forgot all about it hahaha The tutorial on MOGHunter's website kinda sucked... Thank goodness for XAS tutorials. Seriously lol
But yeah thank you this will help me in my tool making. I also noticed the HUD Fade and it's a feature I wanted but put in the back of my head since 2.0 :p I'm glad to see it's implementation in 3.6 :D

@Gameface - Totally nicking this for the site, if that's alright? haha
Awesome work mate.
Can anyone edit this to work for XAS?

@LinkinPink - most welcome
@Calvin624 - go for it!
hopefully I will find some time to make a puzzle for your contest!
keep up the great work on your site...all your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I've enjoyed your "monster portal", "world map edit" and "enemy encounters"...
(I'm still trying to figure out the changing face graphics so that I can add a tutorial)
moving platforms....with XAS!? would be tits! that and pixel movement...

I think there's a pixelmovement compatible script out there somewhere, but I forgot where I got it. Might have been in this thread actually if you want to scroll through and find it
