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

@Cherry: Transparency bugfix first (ips patch maybe?), then a full update later. We all realize you are a busy individual. :)

It might be rather obscure, but is there any way to edit battle processing so that when enemy turns clash with a player's when they use a skill, the event code that's supposed to follow the action doesn't get canceled? It's wreaking havoc on what would otherwise be a completed battle system.

Going further, I execute my skills in my project by using dummy skills in the database with unique MP costs, and then having an event determine the MP used in order to figure out which skill codes to execute, which results in fancier animated, multi-hit skills with a plethora of additional effects...

...But again, if an enemy acts at the same time, all that goes out the window and the dummy skill still eats the character's MP. And that's doubly bad when my battle system is fast and losing MP to interruption like this could mean death.

Am I making sense here? I know some of the oldies know what I'm talking about. Anyway, if some kind of fail-safe could be implemented for that, I think that's all I could ask for from DynRPG. In terms of my project anyhow. It's the last technical issue I'm having that I can do absolutely nothing about.

Bringing this back up now. It was one of the very first things done for DynRPG as I recall, as I suggested to Cherry forever ago. Now, I'm bringing this up again to see if anyone would be interested in customizing this more. As you can see, the icons don't exactly line up that well with characters (this is using battle animations too, so I don't know what it's based off of originally).

Now, I brought this up a long time ago, but would it somehow be possible to have these icons down by portraits (if using the portrait system) or in the menu (if using the menu system), while at the same time limiting it to like...4-5 icons, or 1, and having it cycle through the statuses a character has? That would make the screen far less cluttered and make it more organized, but again, I don't know if this possible to do or not, or how hard it would be to do...nor if it will mess with anything in anyone's projects or not. ^^;

Well, that's why I'm asking as well if it's possible to make the icons cycle through one another, or limit how many appear at once and cycle through that way.


I don't know what you're talking about though. I'm kinda lost ^^;;

I'm thinking it's set to 96x96 battle animations too, since most of mine are 76 in height (so that they don't overlap each other TOO much. 76 height overlaps bad enough as you can see). So you can see the status icons for Sakuya at the bottom there being above Marisa there, and you can't even tell who has what statuses at the top at all. It almost looks like Patchouli (the top one) has both rows of statuses...but yes, that is what I was asking. ^^;

Yes, that is exactly what I'm referring to. Something like that to keep the screen from being cluttered, and somehow making the icons cycle through one another if there's more than 4 statuses on one character. The question is, how doable is that (both setting it above the right portraits, so that Cloud's statuses are above Cloud's portrait and not above Barret's portrait, and setting it so that if you have 5 statuses, you'd see the 4 icons, but the first icon would cycle through between the first and the fifth)?

Hmm...I keep forgetting that patch exists, though that's the only way to escape 100% easily when you have First Strike (not that that should matter). That patch doesn't bug anything up, does it? Like would I be able to go back out from a character's menu to choose another character at all or...? I probably should keep an extra RPG_RT around just in case I need it if it's applied to that at all.

So I'm assuming that's how to position it right? I know nothing about C++ so I can't do this, but that's what I'm assuming from that. So that's at least possible...but what about the cycling of icons? Is that possible at all?
