>>194 Well, I think you'll need to set a switch or a variable to change randomly each time your char enters the room first. Then you tie sprite animation to a certain variable counter or a switch position.

hello.
Owl 09/30/11 (Fri) 09:57:21 No. 266
>>260 The way to do this is as you said with common events.
For stuff that requires a button to be pressed, it gets a bit more complicated.
First things first, make sure that when you put on any effect, a variable is set as 1. Also make sure that it is set to 0 when you wake up/put on another effect/turn off the effect/during cutscenes or whenever you don't wan't it.
Next, start by making a common event that is made to always be on (put a event that activates a switch at the start of the game).
In the common event, put a "conditional branch: X button pressed". X can be any button supported by RPGMaker XP (the buttons you can choose from here are not the ones that you actually get in game, for example A button corresponds to Z in game, don't ask me why).
Inside the branch, put a call for another common event (Call common event: blabla).
Now make the event (originally called blabla by me).
Inside this event, make conditional branches for each effect that you want something to happen when you press a button (for example: Conditional branch: Variable for Effect=1)
Put whatever you want to happen inside the conditional branch.
If my explanation was a bit rushed, check this quick demo i made using a old game of mine, specifically check in common events, the 8th and 9th ones.

How to make a weapon effect (like the Knife, Steel Pipe)? Because I'm new to this kind of stuff
Doodle 10/02/11 (Sun) 01:38:19 No. 367
>>362 You make a common event and an item (which is an effect). Set the item to be a switch. Then make a common event that is activated by the switch (trigger switch). Make another switch which is the item name with the word 'on' or 'activate' or 'switch'. This is the switch which will say if your effect is on or not.
Next, in the common event do a branch and say 'branch if 'effect -on' is ON. Then show a battle animation and then change the sprite back to normal. Then turn the 'effect -on' switch OFF and the 'effect' switch OFF. This is how you change back to normal if the effect is ON.
Then after the 'end', you place a battle animation and then change the sprite to the effect's sprite and faceset. Turn the 'effect -on' switch ON and the 'effect' switch OFF (the one that triggered the event, otherwise the event will go on forever).
Then, if you have other effects already set up, just set the 'other effects' switch to OFF. If you have multiple effects, you have to do it multiple times with each 'effect -on' switch.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense, it's kinda complicated, at least when I try to explain things. This is how I make my effects.

Can RPGMaker games be two player?
Anonymous 10/02/11 (Sun) 13:38:09 No. 387
>>386 Short answer, no.
Long answer, yes, but it blows, it's only local, you have to use the keyboard for player two, events are a pain in the ass to trigger, if both players are using the keyboard it might get too much input, only player 1 can use the default menu, it's even more difficult to do on certain versions of RPG Maker, etc. etc.
If you want multiplayer, I'd recommend using Game Maker. RPG Maker is aimed at single-player games. Now, if that new tile engine thing being made supports multiplayer, I'm all for it.

On the second page, have a Precondition saying that, when the aforementioned Switch/Variable is on, the Movement Type in the bottom left corner is Custom. Define it as "Toward Hero".

This is a really dumb and simple issue I'm having with RPG maker 2003. Basically, only the world map tileset works. No other one will switch out or work (on the small list if I click on them and say yes nothing happens, it stays as the world map tileset) unless it's set to world map. And switching the world map to another chipset ruins the whole map. I've tried importing directly but it didnt work. It doesn't even work with the generic rpgmaker tilesets. As lame as it is, I've been stumped on how to do this for months, and I don't know how to fix it.

Anyways, if importing is your only concern, you just need to import the picture to the "Panorama" folder.
If you don't know how to make the picture move in the background: You need to set it as the parallax background in the Map Properties of the map you want the picture to appear in. Then you have to change the horizontal and/or vertical scrolling options.
Picture is for visual aid; and is edited (you can't open that many windows at once in RPG maker).

1- Create a common event. Name it something like "music".

3- On the common event, make a bunch of conditional branchs, one for each music in the game. Set 0 for the No sound/off.
4- For more customization, you can put different parallaxes/ pictures/character changes.
5- On the sound test map, make two buttons. One for foward and one backwards.
6- On the foward button, add more to the separate variable and make a conditional branch that, if the variable goes past the number of musics, it loops back.
7- On the backwards button, add less to the separate variable and make a conditional branch that, if the variable goes less than the number of musics, it loops back.
You can add new music by making the values higher on the buttons and adding more conditional branches.
I hope this helps.

And… Here's a tutorial for the PC and backgrounds.
–––PC––––
You'll need:
A separate charset of the mouse and buttons.
Some nice parallaxes.
Understanding of eventing.
First, we assume you have a map for the PC. If you don't, do it.
When you teleport the MC (We'll call it Josh), you'll have to do the following:
Increase Josh's move speed
Disable sitting animation
Change Josh's sprite animation to Cursor
Forbid the Main Menu acess.
On the PC, you may add some icons, for the backgrounds/wallpapers, the save and the Sound player (tutorial on
>>4283 ).
Make all of the icons, ALL OF THEM action key/BELOW hero.
The Save button is self explanatory.
The Sound player teleports you to the Sound test.
And the Wallpaper button changes your wallpaper.
The exit button exits the PC.
You need to undo all the changes done to Josh, e.g:
Decrease Josh's move speed
Enable sitting animation
Change Josh's sprite animation to his own.
Allow the Main Menu acess.
That's pretty much it.
–––Wallpaper––––-
The rather fun part.
To make the wallpaper changable, on the wallpaper button, give an option if the player wants to change wallpaper. Then use the "Show Choices" to display a list. If there is (And certainly there will be) more than 4 wallpapers, then make one option on the box for more.
Upon choosing said wall paper, assign a switches for it and turn all of the other wallpaper switches down. (Tip:
Switch range is very useful on this case.)
To make unlockable wallpapers (the fun ones!), make a switch for finding said wallpaper, and an option that will enable the wallpaper, when you got the switch for it on.
I hope this helps,

>>6417 Just so you know: There actually ARE western people that finish their games. Just look at Owl and Moga, for example. Still, I'm more interested in making games accessible to people than to worry about the reputation about the west as a whole - the main problem is that the western fandom uses placeholder sprites from other games without permission and that's not even remotely related to my question. Oh, and I was asking if it was possible just for future reference, since it seems to be a subject that not a lot of people know about. I don't plan on translating my game unless there's enough interested from the Japanese fandom, but I still want to know whether it's possible and see if I can translate other fangames for practice.
>>6418 I actually run my OS in Japanese locale all the time due to using many Japanese software that doesn't work without it. I also have Japanese keyboard options installed and I tried various ways to get my Japanese typing to show up, but the only characters that seem to display correctly are the narrow Katakana, oddly enough. It makes me believe that Japanese is possible, but I'm not overly hopeful…
If 64-bit Windows wasn't so annoying I'd definitely make my game in 2000 for language compatibility, but since the Japanese seem to be able to navigate games in English fairly well I think I value OS compatibility too much to switch. (I'd also lose a ton of eventing already done, which helps in this decision too, ehe.)
Tl;dr: Half-width Katakana shows, the rest looks weird. I have no idea why.

I'm not certain this is the correct thread, but I did not see another thread dedicated to game ideas or partial games. I apologize if this post should have been placed elsewhere.
Recently, I created a Yume Nikki inspired game named 'Dyssomnia' for the Halloween 'Game in a Week' contest on the RMRK forum. I have slowly been gearing up to continue with the project and further flesh everything out since then. But, as there are some changes to the typical Yume Nikki style game, and I have not gotten too much feedback, I thought that I would post the game here to gather more opinions.
One change in particular is that I am using small areas (typically one or two screens in size) which have puzzles or other tasks instead of lobbing large, sprawling maps at the player. This also allows me to focus on the quality of each area. I am also using a slightly different writing style for the few times where there is dialog or interactions, mimicking a short-story feel.
The game engine used is RPG Maker VX Ace, but you will not need to install the RTP for the game to properly function. Credits for third-party scripts, graphics and music is available within the root directory of the game in the 'readme' text file. At the moment, the game is extremely sparse due to the amount of time I had at my disposal (one week), but it can be completed and there is an ending (of sorts).

Owl 01/04/13 (Fri) 23:51:04 No. 6959
>>6958 A strong reason to not use XP is that newer versions of windows sometimes have trouble running games made in XP. That's pretty much the only reason I'm not using XP still, since I've been using it for a long time. I got quite a few complaints that people couldn't run Miserere. It was too late to change by then though, so I completed it in XP.
I don't really have any solid numbers on how large the percent is that can't run it, but it's there at least. Something to consider I guess.
Otherwise XP is equally good (perhaps better in my opinion) for making these types of games.
If you're interested in knowing specifically what the differences are between RPGMakers, I'd suggest googling a bit. There are literally hundreds of discussions about this topic.
My personal opinion though, is that rm2k3 and VX is crap.
VX because it is basically a watered down version of VX Ace, and Rm2k3 because it's so fucking tedious to make tilesets and a number of other stuff that you just can't do that you can do in the newer RPGMakers.

But starting to use 2k3 now just because it's somehow more "authentic" than the other makers is just stupid (it's not).

>>6987 Suggestion: Read all of RPGmaker's instructions (if they're missing you can find them as .pdfs online), then go watch bleet's intro videos hosted at bleetdev.tumblr.com, then come back.
While bleet isn't my favourite game developer she does handle the basics pretty well.

So I'm having troubles with the Shift action, I can't get it to make my character unable to move while the animation is going, can anyone help me? :c
M-256 02/03/13 (Sun) 13:55:52 No. 7085
>>7084 Use the script as autorun and use proceed with movement. When the movement ends, turn the switch that turns the script on off.
Cola1 02/03/13 (Sun) 22:29:45 No. 7087
>>7085 Well, I'm not quite sure what you mean, the script is a Parallel Process with no trigger switch.

>>7316 I went by your advice and everything worked out but I have this character I want to put in and I keep making new files with her spritesheet and different colors used as the background but even if I index it, it keeps saying unsupported png image and I feel like crying. How can I fix this?

Okay, not sure where to put this but this seems the best place. I'm using RPG2003 and I need the RTP mainly for placeholder and testing purposes, and though the folders and files and everything is in order and there are no errors, the RTP files don't work with newly-made projects. Though I can alleviate this by copy-pasting the RTP files into the project's own, this is still rather annoying and I'd like to fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

Still cannot for the life of me figure out effects. -_-"
I tried following bleetdev's little tutorial on tumblr, didn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Am I really just too stupid to comprehend game coding?
Here's a screen shots of what I did:

Guys is it even possible to make chasers with rpg maker vx ace?? If not then is there an alternative way to make one?
Anonymous 09/13/13 (Fri) 16:22:09 No. 8413
>>8412 lol it's almost the same as the other engines, here's a very generic chaser page.
Or maybe you mean something else?
Anonymous 09/13/13 (Fri) 17:53:51 No. 8414
>>8412 It's literally the same as 2k3 with a different layout and better image sizing. It even has scripting so duh of course you can do it in vx.

Separate common events by usage: For instance, separate a section for field/general usage (terrains, speed setting and removing of events), and the effects/whatever (They generally take 3 per separate common events. Maybe more if you want to make mixes). Switches also go the same way.

I'm using RPG Maker VX Ace, I can't figure out how to make an effect! What do I do?? Common Event? Items?
Anonymous 03/29/14 (Sat) 10:19:58 No. 9185
>>9184 learn how to use switches.
http://finalbossblues.com/rmvx-ace-switches-and-variables-p1/ Effects are actually items. Set the items effect to turn on a common event.
In the common event, set a switch that would determine if the player is wearing the effect or not so that the player can remove it if selected the item again
the rest follows…

So is black really transparent? Surely there must be a way to make the transparent not be white and have the black stay black. It's driving me up the wall.

>>9451 If you are using RPGmXP, you can double click an autotile and use the window that pops up to place the tiles directly. If you are using VX or VX ACE you'll have to put your tiles on B, C, D, or E so they don't overwrite ground tiles.

I don't know if this was already answered, but…how to you have a chaser in the game, like the toriningen? Where they run around at random, but when you are nearby they chase you?
Anonymous 02/14/16 (Sun) 01:00:17 No. 11340
>>11339 They never run "at random", they're constantly following the hero, and also the event trigger is at collision rather than touch.

How do you make it where you can't use effects while the character is awake?
riki-xenon !YgYVTMNqk2 04/08/16 (Fri) 21:34:07 No. 11505
>>11355 You would want the game to keep track of whether or not the player is dreaming, and to somehow disable the Effects while the player is awake. In FOG, I use status ailments, but a switch will work just fine.
