important scripting tip for anyone learning
>>153215136

if you make a modification to the base scripts, don't save them directly to that file.

copy the functions you intend to replace in your own plugin.js, and include it as one of the lowest plugins in the plugin list.

1. other plugins might make changes to those same functions, and you need to make sure yours aren't being replaced

2. rpg maker mv updates often, and with those updates comes updates to the base scripts as well. you'll lose your modifications when updating and won't remember why.

It is so fucking hard to make a 24x24 square look like a cat, if only I had more pixels.

>copy the functions you intend to replace
I'm only adding, not replacing, but I see the logic in that. Is this it? I feel like there should be something else done in the file.

Also, am I able to remove the ones I'm not working with/replacing (so that a real plug-in that affects them won't be affected), or will that end up removing them in-game wholesale?

>>153235268
Hard to do right. Requires custom assets.

>>153235373
>replacing/adding
Since you're going to use your own .js to avoid the potential problems, you will definitely be replacing the function.

If it were the right type of function, there's a technique, "aliasing" a function, that allows multiple scripters to touch a function lewd without stepping on each other's toes. With the way makeSaveContents() is written, it won't be usable here. You'll have to just replace it the normal way.

>plugins
Yeah, plugins can be just that. There are things that "real" scripters do to make them more user friendly and/or make them more compatible with more projects. Those things aren't necessary, though, particularly because it's specifically for your own project.

For example, just this is a fully functional script that would skip the title screen when dropped into a project.

>Form is not that of a cat
This is my biggest issue, idk what is wrong with me today but I just have not been able to get the form down with a 24x24 sprite.

>No tail
This is intentional, it was cut off by a drunk.

>Colors lack contrast
Will fix this, any suggestions? There isn't much color to the character, just red/blue/black.

>shadows forms are weak
I don't understand this exactly, are you referring to the legs behind the front? Yeah they're awful =(

>Pure greys with no hue variation
This I can and will fix, thank you!


I'm going to get some rest and try tomorrow, had an off day today, couldn't dev for shit. I really appreciate your response and it is helpful.

>>153244302
I'm not that guy but consider studying other pixel art. That, and learn colour theory. You're going to need to figure out hue-shifting to really step up to the next level.

You're not doing badly at all but it's obvious that you're just sorta winging it.

>>153244302
>This is my biggest issue,

Just look at pictures of cats. Their bodies thin out at places as they are designed to lower themselves and pounce.

>This is intentional, it was cut off by a drunk.

Design wise a small stub would better convey this.

>Will fix this, any suggestions

I said this poorly. I mean just overall there is a lack of contrast. This is a painting trick I learned. Squint your eyes. If the values mesh together, they are not far enough apart to be considered different values. Right now the entire thing looks muddy because there is not large enough changes in value.

>I don't understand this exactly

Just better consider the light source and how it would act on the form. This is just essentially the fundamentals of painting so it will take time to get perfect at it. They aren't offensive right now so just remember it can be better for the most part.

>This I can and will fix

Just remember, all colors have a "tempature." Grays should always be warm or cool. Then other colors should move towards gray to get colors "relative" to that. For example, gray on a warm gray would appear more blue.

This is all painting stuff but directly applies to colors in pixel art. I have never seen pixel art tutorials talk about that and they just stress "hue variation," but in reality they are talking about this.

Just remember if you have cool light, warm shadows, and cool light makes warm shadows. So if you have a orange light, you would have more blue shadows. This is a property of how your eyes see things in reality. If you have a white room and look at everything during sunrise, even though you know your room is white the actual local color will be orange, and in the shadows it will be blue.

For more on shit like this I recommend James Gurney color and light.

>>153244573
Shovel Knight is some sexy ass shit. I love it. I have been practicing hue shifting but I need to do more of it. It is essentially using a different hue as you change shade, avoiding the flat gradient in the process? Do I understand it correctly?

>>153244650
All of this is extremely helpful and I have saved it in a text file for review in the morning. The biggest issue I was being limited to the 24x24 square. I can't change the sprite size without a pretty massive overhaul at this point, unfortunately. I'll take what you said and see how I can do tomorrow.

In essence.

Pic related shows an extreme version of what >>153244650 was talking about.
Highlights are in orange and shadows are in (complementary) blue. This is a staple technique in painting, though it is generally much more subtle, and only the time of day in the painting allows for it to be so intense.

But experiment. Try shading reds with purples, etc.

>>153245306
There is a bit more to hue shifting than that, but that's the essence of it, see pic related for more info.

I'm also not sure you need more space since you still have edges left as transparent, try to use the whole 24x24 pixels you have available, thats how old games done it and why their sprites look kinda "blocky"

>>153245658
Saved, and excited to really get into including hue shifting. How the fuck have I not seen this image before?

>>153245576
I totally get it now, it makes light more interesting and not just flat white/black (exposure/dimming).

Hey anons. I'm planning on making an ecchi game but I'm thinking about just flat out going full hentai with fetishes of every angle everywhere. What do you guys prefer? Light ecchi or hard hentai?

>>153257564
Go light ecchi if you actually plan on finishing the damn thing.

>>153257713
It would be an ongoing project. Something that I plan on updating each month.

>>153257564
>>153257739
Let me guess, Patreon.

>>153257739
You are still trying to undertake something that takes years of development for text-based games to achieve.

>>153257564
Full hentai because this is why I play these games.

>>153257564
I believe both have different design requirements.

Hentai requires to be designed with the idea that the player will be masturbating to the game at some point, so scenes need some build up to create desire and turn it into a fantasy, and their climax should be entertaining enough for 5-15 minutes of content. Controls of pacing, some fetishy customization and galleries would be heavily advised.

Ecchi is more like a tone. Something you watch/do when you are feeling like indulging in perverted thoughts, but not really masturbating. Some people might fap to it, but probably not the majority of the players. A lot of anime that does ecchi uses it to sell dakimakura and dolls, since the fans will be fapping to those. Ecchi is also usually a detriment to things like tension and anxiety, so you have to be careful regarding where you place it.

The crack for 1.3.1 in the OP says "Not found on server". Anyone awesome enough to rehost it?

>>153260412

In VX Ace, all tiles placed in sets A1-A5 are either X or O. Tiles in sets B-E can be starred, but those sets generally are used for scenery and not for walls. If you did use B-E, you'd have to have a separate wall tile for passing behind (blue) and for not passing at all (red), to simulate a real wall.

It can be done, but it'd be annoying and take up a lot of tile sets.

Would anyone happen to know of a script that lets you examine enemies for a physical description? I've seen a few that function like a scan spell, but that's not what I want. I don't want to show off the enemies stats and the like, but rather just gives a quick description of them, some background information, some humor, and perhaps a bit of a hint to fighting the enemy efficiently. Bonus points if I could do this without using a turn.

Oh, additionally, where might I find the information in the script editor regarding luck? I want to change the status effect aspect of luck so that 1 luck = 1% status effect manipulation.

Isn't that the point though? If you could get everything easily, it wouldn't be a very meaningful mechanic.

I was thinking, is it possible to make a game with a literal 1 man party that isn't a snorefest?
Just because of how the story goes no members join, so from beginning to end, one character.
Is it too dumb to try?

Designing my characters at sprite-size is probably not a good idea, right?

>>153364149
Wouldn't it be better to design them full body and then make a sprite out of that one?

>>153364149
When you make art first it's easier to visualise what details you really want on the sprite, even if it's something simple, and you can end up with a very visually interesting sprite. Start at sprite-level and a lot of potential detail can be lost or oversaturated.

Is there a way to change the title screen of a game in VX Ace as the game progresses?

I would like to add an escort for a party just for a quest (you have to protect her), but I don't want the player to be able to use her in battle or to customize her items... Is it possible?

>>153405120
There should be options to lock the character's equipment to prevent it from being tampered with, so that part's easy enough. As for the other part, do you want her not participating in battle at all, or just not under the player's control? I know there's also an option to have a character AI-controlled, but excluding her from battle entirely while still having her show up in the main menu (which I'm assuming is why you want her to be an actor in the first place) is beyond my very limited knowledge.

>>153406423
I think that locking her equipaments would be more than enough! It's just a quest where you have to lead the girl outside of the dungeon, preventing her from harm (but we're thinking about it, since a lot of people hate escorts...)

>>153406423
We would like to lock consumables, but I don't know if that's even possible.

Anon that made the battle demo here, was in the middle of designing the boss for the next demo before realising that it actually would be so much better if there were more fighting game things like startup. To have startup though, I need hitstun as well, and I'm not sure how to go about doing hitstun in a manner that doesn't make it a ridiculously overpowered mechanic.

While it's quite easy to solve the problem if players timing attacks so they always catch enemies in hitstun, the problem is how do I prevent players from stunlocking enemies? I'm currently thinking of hitstun degradation ala Marvel 3 and other anime fighters but I'm not sure how to implement it, especially if I want enemies to have certain amounts of degradation.

>>153413267
What if Stun had a recharge timer? Like, after you Stun the opponent, they can't be stunned for 8 time units, and if they get stunned again, the time units in the counter go up by 2 and so on?

>>153415432
Sounds interesting enough to think on, thanks.

How do you feel about party members who exclude each other?

>>153433102
have a battle event that triggers every turn to randomize a variable. if that variables passed a certain threshold, turn on a switch.

have your desired random event be triggered by that switch?

>>153368367

No, having a character who is big like that can be a funny quirk to the character

But hey while we are discussing this, is there any guides about putting pictures on screen? Like where are the pixels in relation to the screen? There has to be a better way putting pictures in then to make an event that puts the picture on screen, get in game, activate it, note where the picture is, and change the coordinates and repeat isn't there?

>>153435221
>Finally find what the bug is

I'm trying to apply two states with one skill but one of the states HAS to come before the other because of its effects on the other one. Putting them in order on the effect list for moves doesn't work 100% of the time, even if the first state is in the damage formula instead.

Thinking I should just apply the first state in the formula, then have a conditional in the formula to check if the state was applied afterwards.

If you're using MV, look into Yanfly's Action Sequences, you can have it so the skill applies state ID's in the Notetag of the skill, guaranteeing that they are applied in correct order. You can also do a whole bunch of shit in general, so I would greatly recommend.

Math time because I'm a retarded fucko and take years to solve math problems that I get right anyways.

So this is the forumula to apply a state in VX Ace is something like this:
[1.0 + (user's luck - target's luck) * 0.001] * Skill's chance to add state (1.0 to 0.0) * State Rate on the target (also 1.0 to 0.0)

I need to make it so that a state is applied 100% of the time as long as the chance to add the state is higher than the state rate. Formula means that as long as the answer is 1.0 or higher, the state is guaranteed to apply, so I'm looking to make sure that if...
>The chance to add the state is 0.9
>The state rate on the target is 0.5
>The answer comes out as 1.0 (100% chance) to add instead of 0.45 (45% chance to add)

I know this is possible because I'm sure I did something like this in high school once but I'm a super retard, so if someone could help out before I figure it out myself, that'd be very appreciated.

>>153520920
Shit, I forgot to mention that if the chance to add is lower than the state rate, then the answer must always be 0.0 as well.

Correct.

Good night bump

Tell me something about your game which a normal player most likely won't find/recognize.

Smile Game Builder trial is out. How do you think it'll stack up to RPG Maker MV?

It probably depends quite a bit on your ability to model 3d vs your ability to do sprite art.

dungeon boss unexpectedly showing up in the middle of the dungeon instead of at the end: yes or no?

>>153560890
Yes

>>153560890
Depends on the dungeon plan.

Can someone help me with this?
I want a skill to do a 2/3 man fusion, only when those characters are in certain states, activated previously with another skill.

Hint: its a lazy digimon fangame.

>>153561590
You can make it with Common Events if every fusion is its own character and the number of recruitable characters is at least 1 spot smaller than the number of maximum characters per party.

There are no rpg elements in it. But gamers these days don't know what that means, so if you tell them it's an rpg they won't question it.

Now that Quasi is dead, who will make the next ABS?

>>153554439
There is a trial and I can say one thing. Its developed by the people who made igm
. There are very good features and very glaring missing ones (e.x. battle troops, plugins, etc.)

Alright, made some progress and now all I need is for the shop menu to show me all five members when buying equipment. Any thoughts? I can't find the appropriate line in rpg_windows. Should I just install Yanfly's shop plugin and be done with it?

>>153563281
Yeah, i did that part yesterday, though i tested a little with those 3 characters.

Now im stuck with the fusion skill; that part got covered, but i need to have it locked until those 3 specific characters enter in the required mega state.

Is possible by normal means, or i need a script/plugin?? Sorry to be a bother, im more inclined in the graphics sides of making, and even with that i can only do shitty edits, at most.

>>153565314
Conditional branch, second page, check if they have the state on.

>>153566292
Thank you very much, good sir.

I actually have more fun modeling voxels than pixels. Hell, pretty much anything 3D is more fun (Picross 3D > 2D).

>>153550471
There is no happy endings. Only bittersweet possibilities.

>>153564447
Speaking of which, do any of you use Quasi Sprites Plugin?

>>153565018
>Should I just
no
you'll work with both rpg_windows and rpg_scene. so there's probably a scene_shop or whatever that you'll modify.

>>153550471
There's a missable event where you can buy an onion for 1 gold. If you meet her, but somehow have no money, you'll move away. On the spot you're moved to is a gold piece, but you have to press the Check button. If you do, you're greeted with 'X checked underfoot. X found a gold piece!"

I'm bored.

Nigga, just jerk off or something.
