+++ DYNRPG - THE RM2K3 PLUGIN SDK +++

On that note, thinking of what I asked before about being able to change the attributes/conditions/MP Costs/damage/accuracy/etc. for skills, I'm assuming that could be done theoretically with weapons too, as well as characters (granted, I...can't think of what would even be done with characters to fiddle with anyways)? And I'm going to assume that Evasion is a no-go on changing at all due to how it is?

Right, pretty much anything you could set in the database could theoretically be altered at run-time using DynRPG, but evasion is not a direct trait of heros and monsters, it's an indirect result of agility in the battle algorithm which DynRPG has no access to. It might be possible to create a plugin that tweaks a battler's agility before an attack's calculation and sets it back immediately afterward, but I don't have the time and inclination to investigate that.

Hey, i got that as a dynrpg quickpatch. This changes the maximum count for all items.


ItemCap=4A6251,14,4A62E1,14,490234,14,492F99,14,494262,14,49427D,14,494783,14

14 is the hexadecimal representation for the decimal number 20, which is my maximum item count.

However, increasing the number above 127 might lead to errors, above 255 sure does. Don't know if the value is taken as 8 bit signed or unsigned everywhere it is used.
Anything above 99 leads to bad placement of the item count in the menus because it is not made for numbers with more than two digits.

If you want to decrease the max count, it works great.
To increase it~ i don't think so.

Hello again, is there any way to remove the EXP/Gold/Item obtained message at the end of battle? Even better, is there a way to store the amount of XP and Gold you'd receive from a battle so it could be manipulated afterwards with multipliers and what not?

Hm...trying to think of what this could be used for. >_<

I used that ( my own version, not his ) to build a lot of stuff.
* custom condition system.
* damage, heal, ressource over time based on stats instead of % or fixed value
* complicated skills and lots of skill effects
* skill cooldowns, charges and other mechanics
* custom ressources instead of mana ( rage, combo points, energy etc.) and different ways to generate and use them

If you look at commercial games and their skilltrees and talent choices, a lot of that requires code to run exactly after a battler executed a certain action.

Some examples that i created for "Dark Sword" ( available as a demo if you can deal with german texts ) and my project.
* A skill that is made available on hit for one use.
* a "focus"-skill that allows to use other skills while focus-status is active
* skill effects based on enemies or heroes lifepoints, for example no cooldown triggered, additional conditions etc.
* triggering healing on hero oder poison on enemy effect if using a skill removed enemy conditions
* throwing daggers after using a dagger-attack, or an elemental wave with the element of the used skill.
* bleed effect on critical strikes
* exploding arrows. Arrows hits primary target for a little physical damage, followed by explosion on all enemies.
* triggering a poison nova when attacking poisoned targets
* dark mark: triggers shadow damage every time the target is attacked by a hero
* thorns aura, reflects damage
* enemy spellcasting that can be interrupted by a number fo attacks or interrupt skills
* atb push-back/forward, basically grandia-style atb.

Some of that stuff can also be done by creating skills that set a switch that triggers an event page, but this and other-dynrpg features make it elegant. All our monster groups have only two event pages. If my project leader wants some new skills with custom effects, i don't need to change a single monster group and there are a lot less compromises because linkToEvent-commands and triggerskills can't have animations and don't have target selection and event page execution is unreliable and all that.

Almost everything requires eventcode.

I have a request, it is possible with quickpatches (or plugin?) to set the percent of HP/MP drained with skills using the drain option?

Small update to DynBattleChoices. I discovered and fixed a bug that caused the "Current battler is enemy" switch to work incorrectly.
