MAKOINFUSED'S PROFILE

Link_2112 is saying the player's sprite "jumps" suddenly when changing direction. This is nothing like what is happening for him.

Yep, that's what I can see as well. I also see the mountains moving/jumping in his video as well.

I can't get this one to happen either. What is in the parallel process common event?

It's just a "Damage or Heal" event that deals 1 damage (to Health) to player 2 (Sarah). However, I've tried replacing it with other events and it still crashes (like a variable modification).

I just tested this one and I can't reproduce it.

That's odd, so when you're at the edge of the screen, it shakes for you? Is it supposed to show black bars or something when it goes outside the borders of the tilemap?

When you click OK you save the default values so now you have a defined object.

Yep, I would just think that you would get the object before doing that. I would think the warning message should appear in both cases, to prevent the user from doing something dumb.

Suggestions:
1. In-game menu cursor navigation for when a key is held down.

2. When choosing an associated command for a database entry, the currently chosen command should be visibly selected upon opening the menu. This will be particularly useful when there is a large number of selections to choose from, since you won't have to scroll to them.

3. For CE's, I think the "Every Player Step" is a great idea; will you be implementing more conditions like that? It would be nice to see something like "On Input X". I know you can easily event that, but it would be nice.

4. Something I thought that was always missing from the calling CE's was a "wait" or "don't wait" option. It would be nice to be able to "call" an event from a parallel process and not have it halt the game.

5. If there won't be a way to "Composite" a single image battler (since you stated that you won't be moving the check box), will there be a Tint/Hue changer for those instead?

Nope, I've tested it on several occasions and never noticed this problem. In fact, I just tested it a few moments ago to make sure I wasn't just ignoring the problem. I went out of my way to look for it and I honestly don't see it at all.

Great find though, since apparently a problem is present!

I couldn't get this to happen. It just shows up blank and missing. Can you tell me specifically what database type and reference crashes the editor if it is missing?

This might be related to the other crash I was getting: where editing the child with a blank graphic inherited from the parent causes a crash.

Specifically the first thing I tried was deleting the sorcerer battler image. Then opening the sorcerer under the player tab crashed the editor.

This one is actually more serious as the script editor should be modal.

Yeah that would be a problem, I had some trouble with that in VS.

I'm not sure what you mean by this one.

Scrolling quickly through commands by holding down a directional arrow (up/down). In other words allowing the selected command to change in between the "wm_keydown" and "wm_keyup" events-- maybe that makes more sense?

The database editor sorts them by ID which is important, but I actually have a thing planned where you can view into the lists. I anticipated that as RPG projects move along, you'll want to have your big-ass list of items sorted alphabetically. Since you can edit the database symbol to anything you want (you've seen me put (T) prefixes and such on things to remind me of their purpose) you this view would be handy.

Then after this, there will be a search feature to find something in particular. For now, the database editor will be more or less like classic 2003.

Makes sense to me and sounds great! I'll save my suggestions on the matter for when I see it in action then.

Single images aren't sprites or have frames of animation.

Exactly that's why the checkbox would be moved, but it would be nice if we could still "composite" single image resources.

Bugs
1. Unchecking and rechecking the "single image" option makes the graphic disappear. However upon clicking "OK" and reentering that particular entry, it will show that the graphic is indeed still selected. So clearly the selection was never cleared (which is good).

2. Removing the "single image" check, clicking "OK", and reentering will cause a "Could not draw GDI" error. However, it doesn't have any serious negative consequences.

Yes. All the stuff at the bottom are really just shortcuts. I may add more shortcuts later based on demand.

Any chance you can instead setup a way for us to make our own shortcuts? :D

I just checked with null players, it still doesn't crash or do anything weird. I'm not doubting it's crashing, but I can't eliminate what I can't reproduce.

Of course you don't doubt it, how could you doubt me? :p

Well let's start from the top then:

1. So you set the face graphics to null (most likely by deleting the entry).
2. Set the entry with no face graphic assigned to be a parent of another entry.
3. Edit the child entry and then click "OK", it should crash.

Btw, found another bug:

1. Click on change maximum (in any tab).
2. Increase the value by 1.
3. Hit "enter" on the keyboard and quickly click on a different entry (from the list), the name fields should now be the same.

Edit: If you're having a tough time reproducing these, I can post some screenshots...or give you my project or make a video if necessary. Just let me know what you need.
