AGAIN!? GO AWAY. I'TS IMPORTANT. THANK.

If I see another one of those threads, it might be time for the Troll Bridge.

Marrend plays Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete!

The multi-pronged attack was driven off, but now, I am tasked to lead an offensive. One that will not leave our borders open.

I'm simultaneously annoyed and touched that Finneas asked this task of me. Touched, because it shows he trusts me, even if that trust is misplaced. Annoyed, because he continues to show no real talent for leadership. Even a puppet king should show some ability to command.

One more scenario as Sandro, buffing his armies of undead even more. The opposing forces contained Yog, Crag Hack, Gem, and Gelu, who have retained their stats, skills, and spells from previous scenarios. Maybe some creatures carried over as well, because Crag Hack had a stack of 10000+ some-odd Hobgoblins, among other creatures. Or, maybe that was Armageddoned within the context of this scenario? Hard to say, as I have not ever seen the AI cast Armageddon.

While the transferred data might make a certain amount of sense, and bring consistency to the campagin, it's not particularly welcome either. Like, I'm used to just trampling over AI opponents with abandon, in case you haven't noticed. While I might regret it later, I UGEed the stats of those heroes down to more reasonable levels.

I'm terrible, I know.

Where is Administration rpgmaker.net ??

I find this highly likely to be a bot/spam account. In the case it is not, try using the contact list.

shouldn't we have, like, at least an IGMC thread or something? am I missing anything?

I can kinda see why we might not necessarily want our own event-page for the IGMC, but, a thread under What's Happening in Game Make & RMN could be appropriate.


Or, maybe all the talk is happening on the #eventofthemoment channel on Discord, rather than the forums. Might be easier to share progress screencaps there than needing to upload to a locker, or whatever.

[RMVX ACE] Game Export issue

The error message shown doesn't indicate to me that it's hitting an anti-virus program. What it indicates to me is a lack of access rights. Like, the directory structure shown is Users/Admin/Documents/<etc>!

*Edit: Hey, let us know if turning off the AV program worked. I'm mildly curious.

[RMMZ] Class Levels/Level-Up Display

How to go about doing that might depend on how subclasses are possible to begin with. For what it's worth, the built-in function that is called when a character gains expereince is probably...

Game_Actor.prototype.changeExp = function(exp, show) {
    this._exp[this._classId] = Math.max(exp, 0);
    const lastLevel = this._level;
    const lastSkills = this.skills();
    while (!this.isMaxLevel() && this.currentExp() >= this.nextLevelExp()) {
        this.levelUp();
    }
    while (this.currentExp() < this.currentLevelExp()) {
        this.levelDown();
    }
    if (show && this._level > lastLevel) {
        this.displayLevelUp(this.findNewSkills(lastSkills));
    }
    this.refresh();
};

...this one. It kinda looks like...

if (show && this._level > lastLevel) {
  this.displayLevelUp(this.findNewSkills(lastSkills));
}

...this is the part of that function that you want to switch up to detect what subclasses are leveling up in regards to displaying the level up message.

*Edit: On second thought, after re-reading the code, the expression...
this._exp[this._classId] = Math.max(exp, 0);
...would likely only read the "main" class to begin with.

Which seems to suggest the code could be used kinda as-is, if it could loop within the main class plus subclasses. If the main class and subclasses were an array, it could be looped with...
this._exp[this._classID[i]]
...this expression, or something like that. However, without knowing how these things look, I can go no further.

Four so-called heroes have risen to topple me, and my plans. Let them try. If nothing else, it could not hurt to harvest more troops from what they might send my way.

Here, we are re-introduced to Sandro, who's now a full-fledged lich. Despite being such in both Heroes 1 and 2. ;_;

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?

I've been experiencing some analog drift with my controller for maybe a month. Which curiously coincides with about how long I've had this laptop! Still, I've been looking into possible solutions for that. Even so, I managed to finally beat Bloodstained - Ritual of the Night. I'm not sure what my completion rate was, but, I'm happy to put it aside for a while. Though, I'm pretty curious what playing as Aurora from Child of Light would be like in the context of this style of game.

For what it's worth, I can probably play Beyond Good and Evil with the keyboard. The only time I would need a proper analog stick is for inputting various passwords, with how the input mechanism is structured like a wheel.

The Council of Elders have decreed a punitive attack against the necromancers in light of the deaths of Lords Falorel, Fayette, and the Dragon Lords. For my own part, I agreed because I felt a sense of responsibility in participating in the felling of said Dragon Lords.

As for my companion, Gem, it seems she has her own past, and is more than willing to assist me in this matter. I shan't turn her down.

Back to Gem and Gelu, reaping their vengeance. I'm sure Gem won't be done until Sandro is buried (re-buried?) but, that's probably later.

New RPG Maker Announced! Already? Why?

That video was uploaded by AngelStarStudios? Yeah, no thanks.
