JPARKER1984'S PROFILE

Hello all, my real name is Jeromy. I'm a video game fan in general, but the way that RPG's make you feel sucked in to an alternate world easily make it my favorite genre (given that the story don't suck.) Aside from that I'm a father and a husband and I work my butt of to take care of my family. I love gaming, but family will always come before anything.

My favorite game... wow, that's a tough one. I'll just list a handful that I really enjoyed in no particular order. Only a handful though, there isn't enough space to list them all.

Disgaea 3 (PS3)
Final Fantasy 5 (SNES, PSX & GBA)
Final Fantasy 7 (PSX)
Dual Orb (SNES)
Breath of Fire 3 (PS & PSP)

Magic Knight Ray Earth (SNES & SATURN)

Sticky PS3 controller issue?

So I have this 3rd party PS3 controller and is in perfect condition visually, but when it's in use the left joystick tends to move to the right even if I'm not actually pressing right. I'm going to try opening it up and see if it can be fixed. Is that even worth doing, or should I just junk the controller?

How do I fix this weird box issue with text in my (VX Ace) game? It's frustrating.

I spent almost a whole day trying to find a good font... I finaly do, but then this happens.



How on earth do I fix that damn box issue? This font is otherwise perfect.

EDIT: Or if someone can share a good font that doesn't have this issue, that would be ok to.

Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way" Who did the better cover?

So just about everyone knows "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys, like it or hate it. I personally think it's a great song. So I found two covers on youtube. Both are great, but which one is better.

Cover by Ahmir

Cover by Jason Chen & Joseph Vincent

Me and a friend are at odds as to which is better, I think Jason Chen & Joseph Vincent did a better job. How about you guys, which is the better cover?

I don't know how to call a script mid game (RPG Maker VX Ace)

Ok so I found a difficulty select script for Ace.

http://caspergaming.com/Scripts/Ace/CSCA_Difficulty.txt

I made a new event selected script in the 3rd tab and pasted in the following text.

scene = CSCA_Scene_DifficultySelect
# SceneManager.call(scene)


When I click on that event in game, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Can someone do another review for my game?

kory_toombs recently did a review for my game and did a good job, I agree with it 100%, but it's also nice to have more then one view of your game from an outside source. So I'd like to get one more review for "Legacy Saga" (the RPG Maker VX Ace remake.) So, can anyone lend a hand? The current version isn't very long, two hours max.

Problem with learning skills by item?

I have created a item to teach "Haste", but I only want specific characters to be able to use the item, not all characters. How would I go about doing that? Example, I don't want a fighter to be able to use an item that teaches "Haste."

Rast... what happened to him?

I may just be behind on the times, or maybe I just missed something. I stumbled upon a website with a bunch of old RPG Maker games and saw the beauty that was "Dragons Destiny" by Rast. I got to thinking, what happened?

EDIT: I'd like to re-phrase that, what happened to him as a game maker? I see he makes post still, sometimes.

VX Ace battle backgound issue driving me crazy.

So, I put together my own battle backgrounds. I used the PSP Final Fantasy graphics. Here's the problem, I can set the backgrounds I want just fine when I'm working with a specific dungeon. However, with the world map it loads the RMVX Ace defaults depending on what tile the character is standing on when a random battle pops up. How would I go about having the world map load battle backgrounds of my choosing?

I found a game breaking bug with Yanfly Visual Battlers script

Ok, I'm lost on how to fix this. First, I lined the characters to the right side of the screen to simulate old FF feel. I altered the distance from the characters a bit and the only other thing I did was add a fix for when characters die. After doing that, I get this when I try to add a new character to the party while in battle (which didn't happen till I did the above changes.)





Please help, I can't continue otherwise. Thanks.

Oh, if it helps here's the changes I made to the X & Y coordinates.

Yanfly Visual Battlers script question? Show weapon icon...?

I set the direction of the sprites to face right, like an old school side view battle system. Is there a way to swing the weapon icon for the currently equipped weapon? All it dose no is step forward, then backwards.
