[RMVX ACE] Convert RGSS2 to RGSS3

author=happydeadman
Thank you for your reply!
I did exactly what you said and the following error occurred.
Do you know why this happened?



No not really. lol

I would probably try it 100 different ways until I learned why though...

I think the game is trying to access @message_window from the game interpreter, but @message_window doesn't exist there, so it calls it NilClass. I think we'd have to put something in front of it like $game_screen, or $game_map, wherever that variable exists... so it would look something like "$game_screen.message_window.x" (this wont work, already tried)

Anyway, I'm not familiar with the Battle_Scene or how to access its elements from common events. But it looks like you should have a real fix now!

[RMVX ACE] Convert RGSS2 to RGSS3

I haven't had to mess with the battle scene, but taking a quick look, you may be able to manually shake the window by rapidly shifting around its x & y coordinates. I think the variable's name is "@message_window".

so making a parallel process common event which is triggered by a switch with a script that says something like

@message_window.x += -2 + rand(4)
wait(2)
@message_window.x = 0

should add or subtract 1 or 2 pixels to the window's x coordinate, which would give it a shake effect when the switch is on.

[RMVX] Change Direction of Screen Shake

11/03/2015 01:50 AM
I have a parallel process common event in my game called "screenshake" triggered by a switch. The event runs this script, then turns off the switch. It's a type of manual screen shake, rather than using eventing.

I use it for quick jolts when the player is hit, or hits something. You could do something like this without the process turning itself off for a sustained shake. 

$game_map.display_x = (-rand(0.05) + rand

(0.1))

$game_map.display_y = (-rand(0.05) + rand

(0.1))

wait(2)

$game_map.display_x = 0

$game_map.display_y = 0

[RMVX ACE] Jester's Slide Effect and Pictures

11/02/2015 02:45 AM
My project is using a script by Jester, which emulates the sliding transitions of Zelda. the problem I'm having is related to a picture being used to amplify the effect of night time. I've worked around this by "erasing" the picture while the transfer is happening, but in that time, the effect is lost, and it breaks the feel of the game.

If I leave the picture visible while the transfer happens, it doesn't slide with the map, it stays in place until the transfer is done, then pops back to where it belongs. Trying to make the picture slide at the same rate as the "@slidemap" sprite, isn't working, because the picture's location still doesn't update. All of the pictures and weather are frozen untill the transfer is complete. I don't care about weather, or the fog or anything, but I'd really like this "light" picture effect to move with the player across the screen. I've dug into all their scripts, and tried many ways to get them to "update", but nothing is working for me.

This is the problem:


Here is the script, and some comments i've added to try to better understand whats happening.

If I can't get it to work, I'll probably just use my work-around method, or something like it.

EDIT: Problem Solved

Changing "attr_reader" to "attr_accessor" for the x and y of Game_Picture allows for use of $game_map.screen.pictures.x

Then using @spriteset.picture_sprites to "slide" the picture's sprite with @spriteset.picture_sprites.y -= speed

  def update_light
  $game_map.screen.pictures[50].x = @spriteset.picture_sprites[50].x
  $game_map.screen.pictures[50].y = @spriteset.picture_sprites[50].y
  end
If this isn't done, then the picture updates to where it was before the slide, then jumped back to the player.

  
  def jms_met_performslide(d)
    w = Graphics.width
    h = Graphics.height
    speed = JMSC::SEF::Slide_Speed
    case d
      when 2
        @spriteset.tilemap.oy += h + ($game_map.height * 32 - h) * 2
        $game_temp.jms_met_slidex = 0
        $game_temp.jms_met_slidey = h
        for i in 0...h / speed

It's been a while since I don't post an image ITT. This is a screenshot of the very first scene of the game. Let me know your thoughts!

I wish the character matched the style of the cool hand drawn looking background. That staircase (if that's a staircase on the right) looks weird there on its own.

My guess is 300-400.

The Legend of Zelda : Skyward Fetchquest

Plenty of games use the "go here, get that, bring it back" scheme, but for me, Skyward Sword's felt wrong. The game was overloaded with these kind of objectives. The backtracking combined with the collect-o-thon fetch quests killed it for me. I did finish it, but I'll never play through it again.

I decided to change Ashen's colours to the DB32 palette and??? I love it???? Of course I'm still working on the colours, but it's nice to see it like this.

Beautiful! I love the color! Maybe you could throw in the GB effect as some sort of debuff, or glasses that reveal secrets!

Yeah, it's supposed to be one of those hidden in plane sight type of things!
I know that's a typo but I couldn't hold myself
