CRAZE'S SCRIPT ASYLUM

Okay, so, I did the boss options script (although I'm still interested in ideas for updates). Next up is the tiny version of state probability rates, and then permanent HECO stat seed items.

How do you think I make cool games? I just never made my work presentable; it's all just hacking stuff around in other people's scripts.

Arian Wild's battle system was the death of me (and I thought V&V was bad...).

Added Gold & EXP Boost. Need to get around to the low-cal version of state% fiddling. =P

-Countering physical attacks or magical attacks depending on the monster.
-Status effects last shorter amount of time when used on bosses, meaning you can use them but they aren't as effective. This is better than just making them hit less often.
-Status effects that have a positive/different effect on a boss. A poisonous monster will game a regen status if you poison it, punishing the player for being stupid. A mage-type boss will gain a "physical attack up" status if you silence it, which means it won't become totally useless when you remove its skill-set but will still give you some breathing space. Stuff like that.
-Status effects trigger the boss using a status-healing spell, instead of having it cast such spells randomly or having an arm or other unit cast it on the boss constantly (although the latter two do add strategy). This is basically better than "status effects never work", although not quite as good as actually having them work in the long term.

-This will be a part of the next major update to Yanfly's Battle Engine Melody.
-Good idea, and definitely doable.
-Definitely a good idea! I'll consider making that its own script.
-This is done with either conditions for skill use set in the database, or - even better - use of Yanfly's AI & Aggro script (which adds basic (re: deadly) AI and customization options for specific skills/enemies). He'll be making an even better version in a month or so.

Hey, Craze. I was wondering if you have the skillz to make a Tarot card system like in Hero's Realm? Where the user can select a card from their deck and one randomly chosen spells (out of five) is cast. I know YF had a similar system with Mix, where combining 2 items resulted in a random spell cast.

Yeah, I can do this for both skills and items. This is basically a request but whatever, it's kentona and I know he'll rock it like a babby.

EDIT: kentona, skills are easy enough, but items will most likely require Battle Engine Melody, since the "skill scroll" effect is built-in and I'd add on to that part of the script to get that working. If you haven't looked at BEM (or YEM overall), you really should; it can still do front-view turn-based DTB-style but is very sexy and allows for lots of effects (and I can help you with whatever DQ-ripoffs you desire).

EDIT2: On that note, I'm going to rewrite KGC's boomerang script for Melody because I'm that awesome (and it only takes like two lines of code).

Added the low-cal version of State Infliction Rates. Next up is either part of the Critical Suite, elemental conversation, or permastat+ items. I've actually already put the functionality of CRI/EVA+ stat seeds into my project, but it's embedded in other code instead of being pretty/stand-alone.

And FF6, apparently. =D

I'll think about it. I'm not sure how I'd like to implement it for developer ease-of-use.
