JUDE'S PROFILE

author=Craze
how did you get an ff10 5* weapon????

Beats me. It's definitely not the first time I've gotten 5-stars that aren't on the banner. I get FF7 gear way too often, and got an FF6 shield during the Golbez event.

At a game jam so I won't get to the bonus battles until Monday morning at the earliest.

Ha. You will hate me. I just did my daily draw and got Aeris's Aurora Rod. That's two 5-star relics in about a week.

Yeah, Tiled is pretty great and I use it for everything. Even some dungeon generator I wrote exports to tmx just because. Like you, I use cell properties to do some basic event and entity scripting. Old example:


To elaborate, the behavior property is basically the entity's movement loop. It tells the engine which properties to look in to determine which functions need to be called with that data. Such that Conan the Example Entity will pathfind to a random tile near his spawn point, wait for up to 360 frames, pathfind to any random tile on the map, wait up to 360 frames, then restart the whole loop by pathfinding back to a random tile near his origin/spawn point. Properties can be named arbitrarily when they're just pointers, but a few have explicit names like clicked, behavior, touched, etc, since the engine needs a starting trigger. Also conditionals for the entity to even exist, like flag or item.

I also use it to set what happens when interacted with, under the clicked property--separated by pipe with the last entry being the highest priority (like RPG Maker event pages). All of my basic stuff can call functions pretty directly for opening chat boxes or shop menus or moving an entity somewhere or setting a flag/switch, but I put the detailed stuff in separate scripts just for readability's sake and to make direct function calls. If a value says something like "script, cutscene_001" then it'll read the cutscene_001 script and execute those function calls more directly, which look similar-ish to your example. I'm a heretic and use XML instead of JSON for my data, though.

My teleport events don't look too different from yours. I still use a property pointer because it helps me avoid redundancy though (like if I want to execute the value of the teleport property when the object is touched, clicked, or any other condition):

Ha. You can tell I updated my Tiled version between those two images.

I didn't even realize those dungeons were skipped--it's been so long.

If my calculation is accurate, I'll be three mythril short of being able to pull on both FF9 banners. With that in mind, I'm really not sure which one to go for. I'm currently leaning towards the second banner because I'd love to get Eiko's flute and any other mage weapons I can grab.

I picked up my second favorite FF6 character in the last batch of dungeons: Gau. And he kind of sucks. Other than the obvious lack of a memory crystal, he's also really limited on equipment and abilities. If he were like the greatest Celerity user possible then it'd be fine. I mean, Drunk Cecil is another really one-dimensional character but he's the -best- Combat user in the game--only second to Sephiroth in Attack and beats him in weapon and armor selection and general survivability.

Yeah, I don't have any mage weapons for FF7 except a 2++ Mythril Rod which is on the weak end of 2-star items, such that it's well below a foreign 5-star. My FF6 gear is my strongest in terms of the number of 5-star items I have, but I consider FF4 my actual strongest because I have a mix of weapon and armor types.

There was a dungeon update tonight so I'll be doing those until Beatrix.
