ESSENCEBLADE'S PROFILE

Say, Cherry. Do you know if it's possible to remove the number of MP needed to use an ability completely? so it doesn't show "- 0"? Just for an individual skill (field skill). Or does it affect the whole skill database if you remove the parameter?

I'm not sure what you mean. :)
For DynRPG, you write *.dlls, which because of the patch, your RPG_RT is aware of and has access to. The dlls are presumably native machine language that gets called and injected into the standard flow of execution (e.g, callbacks) in your RPG_RT. That means to use a plugin it's literally a matter of simply copying/pasting the dll into your DynPlugins folder.

Oh, I see. I ask because I'm trying to edit the way the default menu works in RPG Maker. I'm trying to edit it, so that when I add something like a HP+50 Item, it updates WITHIN the menu, instead of you having to exit. I'm also trying to get the parameters to show aswell. Like while choosing to adjust your HP amount, it'll say something like "HP: 207 > 257" or "HP: 207 > 157"

I also want to get rid of that dumb blank space in the menu. I'm trying to add my own custom parameters within it. (Soul Fragments, Time Played, Steps Taken).

Also I want to get rid of the " - XX" which is shown on the end of skills when selecting them. So I can replace them with traits and field abilities.

The DynRPG patch isn't an RPG_RT one. It literally just installs the patch onto your game and that's it. If you're that concerned you can always back up your project, and then test out the DynRPG patch. I'd highly advise you install it. It adjusts various errors RPG Maker 2003 had in general.

With the new Keyboard and Mouse input .dll Cherry made for 2k3, I'm beginning to event an encounter system like 13-2's.

In my project, enemies have a high chance of always see you. Whether they're facing you or not. so I decided to find a way that the player could earn pre emptive strikes still. I iz calling it, "The Essence Catch" system. Which involves a player pressing a key to access a "battle stance mode" which enables you to "link your essence with the enemies" in an attempt to draw them into combat and have the chance to hit the enemy before it hits you. Using this method, you also gain points which go toward my Skill Grid system too. That's not to say you have to do this every time, but you miss out on a chance to get points.

This mode has a time limit to it, and replenishes over time, or by force using items. Though the recharge time by foot is rather fast. Items are just in case you travel long distances in it. This same mode is also used on the general maps to make the player progress through certain areas. I.E using Essence Capture Mode on an ancient statue to reveal a previously blocked way.

/deepbreath. So far so good.

That's sexy.
