RMVX VARIABLE NIGHTMARE SOLUTION!!!! Topic

So basically I thought something was wrong with my RMVX variable calculations for Mage Duel. Somehow the game was multiplying 12 x 100 and getting 100 instead of 1200. I double checked my eventing and yes, that's what was happening.

So I rembered something Karsuman said a while ago, namely this:

Fix for RMVX Variables

This fixes the annoying VX variable problem that is a bane to any that try to be a little creative with RMVX eventing, particularly as related to battles. Go into Game_Interpreter and search for Control Variables. The code present is shitty and doesn't work properly. Copy-paste this over all of it.

value = 0
case @params # Operand

end

when 4 # play time
value = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
when 5 # timer
value = $game_system.timer / Graphics.frame_rate
when 6 # save count
value = $game_system.save_count
end
end
for i in @params .. @params # Batch control
case @params # Operation
when 0 # Set
$game_variables = value
when 1 # Add
$game_variables += value
when 2 # Sub
$game_variables -= value
when 3 # Mul
$game_variables *= value
when 4 # Div
$game_variables /= value if value != 0
when 5 # Mod
$game_variables %= value if value != 0
end
if $game_variables > 99999999 # Maximum limit check
$game_variables = 99999999
end
if $game_variables < -99999999 # Minimum limit check
$game_variables = -99999999
end
end
$game_map.need_refresh = true
return true
end

I figured that was the problem and I did exactly that. And it somehow broke my RMVX MUCH MUCH WORSE. I loaded up my save game and now it was multiplying 12 x 100 and getting 0. I popped up my debug menu to check and my variables were all fucked up. They were all mostly set to 1 or 0. When I tried to manually change them, the game crashed from test play with some kind of a math error. It said something about scene_debug being fucked.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? SOMEBODY HELLLPPP!!!

The error only seems to hit after I talk to the guy (the event) that was multiplying the variables in the first place.

I am going to try and replace the entire game_interpreter section with the default one because maybe that will at least get me back to where I was?

I missed that too. I was wondering why there was no "case 4". Guess I should've looked harder.

I know this probably isn't it, but... was the x100 set to "Set variable at..." instead of "Multiply variable by..." ?

No, it was set to multiply by.

First it sets Variable 14 to be equal to Variable 7 and then it multiplies Variable 14 by 100. (This is supposed to set the cost of a hint the information dealer sets equal to a hundred gold times the number of opponents the player has already defeated. So 1200 gold for the thirteenth duel.)

Of course I can think of a workaround (calculating cost manually for each page of the information dueler event) but like...why can't this program that I paid $60 for FUCKING PERFORM BASIC CALCULATIONS?

Anyway, I managed to get it back to its less broken (pre-script tampering) state but it still says 12 x 100 = 100. At least my debug is now working okay.

Hrmm...

EDIT: Try setting Var 14 at 100 and then multiplying by Var 7.

Download that for Game_interpreter. I had the exact same problem pre-fix.

~~I really hope that's not a virus~~ :P

Seriously though, thanks but... uh, is that Game_Interpreter different from the one that Karsuman posted here?

Much to my chagrin, I am STILL having this problem. Harmonic's fix did nothing. I have quintuple checked and the problem is NOT in my eventing.

So....wtf?

I'm having the same issue, but to a much more ridiculous extent.

I'm trying to set a variable equal to character MP available.

Seems to constantly set equal to zero. >:(
