MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE

This is a screenshot of what my current equip scene looks like.



So, nothing wrong with that, but I need it to also display the Hit Rate, Evasion Rate (called and treated as Parry Rate in my game), and Critical Rate on the screen. Otherwise, players in my game won't be able to make informed decisions about equipment (i.e. the weapon with the best Strength is not always the best weapon in every way, the Parry bonus of a shield may be just as important as its Defense bonus, and so on) and that is very bad.

Besides the necessity of showing those additional values, any aesthetic concerns are secondary. But 'unsquashing' the auto-scaled text for the words Armor Class and Intelligence would be a great plus.

This is a link to my scripts.rvdata2 file which should contain all of the scripts I am using in my current project, Lionheart. Of those scripts, the only ones that should remotely matter here (i.e. in the "Equip Scene") are "Yami Engine Symphony - Equipment Learning" and "Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Menu Engine v1.07". But in case I'm wrong, there's the entire scripts file in the link.

I will pay and credit anybody who wants to help me out with this. Doesn't seem like it should be too tough. Whatever you think's fair. Lemme know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can do to make this easier.

Just kidding, this topic is about HATRED.

Any thoughts on this tasteful pile of tastefulness?

Obviously, I find it to be...gross. At best. And I think that's generous. I would also fight probably very literally to the death to keep it from being directly or indirectly censored. because you know, free speech. (I just found out that that quote was misattributed to Voltaire but actually was a summary of Voltaire's position by Evelyn Beatrice Hall...so that's interesting!)

The other thing I think is interesting about it is its unquestionable artistic value...in spite of being, apparently, an intentional backlash against "games as art".

Is there a way to specify the "z-level" of pictures with show/move picture? Do certain picture numbers automatically appear "in front of" or "behind" other pictures? Or does this have to be controlled somehow with outside scripting?

I'm trying to show a world map and overlay arrows onto it to show the movement of an army (if you've seen any Indiana Jones movie you know what I mean). I can't use the parallax background for the 'map' image because it keeps glitching out and showing up in the wrong place, so I'm using a show picture for the map. I need the other pictures to show up 'on top of/in front of' the map.

Edit: Herpadtyderp, about five minutes after posting this, I figured it out. Sorry.

I am Max McGee. This is my resume. Take a second to digest it, there is a lot there. That said, the game project(s) this posting regards is not among the many (mostly unfinished) games on that long long list. I have been doing my game making 'off the radar' for a couple years now. Working in the editor, but not promoting on the web. I'd love to have built some public awareness of the game I'm working on right now, but I have limited time, and have spent that time developing, not documenting and promoting.

I am looking for a person who meets all of these requirements, in order from most important to least important. Not counting number five which is most important but also I hope to God a total non-issue.

1. Super reliable and not at all flaky. Totally unlikely to flake out, vanish from the internet, move to another country with no internets, get bored and stop talking to me, or disappear overnight. This means you also need to be willing to share extensive contact information so I can track them down when I need to.
2. Really enjoys mapping and has a lot of fun with it.
3. Can make maps pretty fast, and isn't a perfectionist. This is important because I like to MAK GAM and I cannot MAK GAM if I am waiting forever for you to MAK MAPs and I get cranky.
4. Can make maps as well as or better than I can (this is NOT a high bar; I am better now than I have ever been before, so the maps I'm making now are way better than most of the ones in most of the games in my resume, but that's still really not that good).
(5. Isn't going to overpromise a ton of maps and then "deliver" them by shamelessly stealing them from other people's games, making me look like a total asshole while being a total total asshole. This is a real thing that once happened. True story. I probably don't need to put this as a requirement. I just remember that this happened once and my gosh it sucked.)

I don't expect to find such a person immediately or very quickly (it could happen tho!) so I'll check back to this thread over time, bump it occasionally, whatever. I'm expecting this will be a long term search. I am going to take my time picking a person. And even when I've picked a person they might be chilling for a while before I'm ready to engage them in the mappening.

Anyway if you meet these criteria I will pay you and properly credit you to produce maps for my RPG Maker VX Ace games. I will pay you actual US Money Dollars, no foolsies. We shall collaborate on level design.

How much money dollars? I don't really know. I've never done anything like this before, so we'll have to work together to come up with a payment scheme and a payment plan. We shall come to an agreement on what's a reasonable amount of dollars: if you already have some idea as to what that might be, that's great. As someone who's done creative stuff work-for-hire, I know what it's like, so I've got a vested interest in making sure that you're paid fairly for your time and the quality of your efforts.

That said, I am not a brojillionaire, so don't expect any crazy earth shattering amount of money. This is part of requirement #2. If you don't love to mak maps, you need not apply. If you do love to mak maps, well here is opportunity to get paid to do something you love.

Umm...what else. This is probably obvious but the maps gotta be made to my general specifications. My specifications are usually real vague so you'll have lots of room to use your own creativity. If I cared that much about the specifics I'd want to do it myself. I have three *recent* *active* projects right now. I have a number of projects that are technically still *active* but not remotely recent, but I'm not concerned with those at this time. The former of these projects uses the lovely futuristic tiles for VX available here. The other two projects use the tiles from the High Fantasy Resource Packs I and II. So you're gonna want to make sure you're reasonably okay with working with those tile types. It's the projects using the HFRP tiles that are "live" right now.

That's everything I can think of, but let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your time.

First off, I just want to express how seriously grateful I am that I haven't run into a more serious glitch like Liberty or Cecil_Beoulve ran into, because if something like that happened my (emotional) shit would be seriously ruined, and I'd be crying tears of blood.

That said, here's today's weirdness. Stationary events--specifically stationary events using graphics from Tile B through Tile E, but other stationary events too-- kind of move around a little bit while the player is moving along the map. Sometimes (like a save point that is one event large) this problem isn't that bothersome but sometimes when a bunch of events are all shifting around at once (like if I made the top half of a statue from events to allow for another layer of mapping while the bottom half is made from normal B-E tiles) it is...very distracting, to say the least.

The events don't move a LOT, is the thing, they only shift maybe...2-4 pixels? Maybe even less? And only when the player is moving around. It was actually tricky to even get a screenshot of the problem, but here one is:



Here's the scripts i gots in this project (related to what i'm working on for the revive the dead event).



I am suspecting that the Victor scripts may be the culprit, but I'm not at all sure. (I will check into it and post back here but I just wanted to check real quick if anyone had run into this error.)
