MAKOINFUSED'S PROFILE

This is way too vague, consider adding much more information. Perhaps a screenshot, and what maker you're using.

However, if I had to guess I would imagine you have more than 1 page.

Hmm...yeah, I just tested it-- you're right. That sounds like a bug to me. I think you should email Cherry (his contact info is on his site) with the information. Honestly, he would be your best bet to fixing that problem since I doubt anyone else would take it up. The source for 2k9U isn't public, so someone would have to do a lot of work to fix this from scratch. He's pretty busy most of the time though, so you might have to wait quite some time before you get a definitive fix.

Of course the alternative is that you can just copy and paste the animations 1 by 1... it sucks, I know, but it's better than not having the ability to have 5000+ animations! Perhaps prioritizing might help you; work on the most important animations while waiting for a fix.

Alright, I'm slightly confused-- what is the problem with this block of code? Is it still the game issue where it's giving you a game over? Or is the issue something else?

I don't see how this would give a game over, so instead I assume it's just not working. The only problem I could see occurring is due to the way you're setting the variables. I don't see it in the picture, but hopefully you're resetting those variables back to 0 after working with them. I see you're doing that in the else condition, but it's always best to reset them at the end of the common event since you're just using them for checking anyway.

I don't know how the formula for determining how large the de/buff will be for skills.

However, I do know that 2k3 only allows for a maximum de/buff of 50%. So your calculations of getting damage reduced by half are correct. The only workaround that I've found is to use conditions and apply several at a time, although I realize you didn't want to use conditions. The only other option is to use DynRPG.
