MOONWOLFV'S PROFILE

This is actually a very small issue, I've got a solution but I was just wondering if there was some other way. (Don't say deleting the resources which aren't used, I've already considered that).

Okay, this game "Every Vote Counts" was made in Rpgmaker MV, but I've upgraded it to Rpgmaker MZ. When I made the distribution package, it wouldn't make one, as I was telling it to exclude unused files, which it apparently had a bit of an issue with.

I then tried it again telling it to include all files, and it did it no questions asked. I just know that this makes an inflated file size (it's still lower than the original though).

Just wondering if anybody knows of any other approach I could take? I can only assume it had this issue because the game was originally made in Rpg Maker MV?

I'm trying to make a battle arena much like in Final Fantasy VII, and I think I've got it rather well set up.

General procedure of how it operates

• Common Events which contain enemy troop lists of every random encounter in the game - Divided into the areas they appear in

• An enemy from the first area is picked at random. There is a lose battle condition to restore your party should you lose.

• A common event runs a random status infliction. BP is then allocated for the status.

• The next list of enemies is then played, etc.

• If all rounds are completed, a BP multiplier bonus is given.

The problem is that it keeps on counting a victory as a loss in the battle. A switch is turned ON when having lost a battle to let the series of common events in the battle arena to know not to continue. Labels then bring the event to a close.

I've tried other approaches to this, like having it check that every character is knocked out, but it still ignores this. It counts it as a loss, even though each character is perfectly fine.

My only guess for what's causing this is the use of Common Events. It doesn't seem to make any sense otherwise. Otherwise I'd just take the approach of an extremely long event which has all the common event information inside it. Maybe just keeping the status effect one in there to try to compact it a little.

Does anyone have any ideas on what would be causing this, beside this? It seems to be playing by it's own rules here.

Thanks for bringing this up, I didn't realise it targeted all enemies instead of all allies. This has now been fixed, and the download has been updated.

Thanks Prajna

Hi Singularity, thanks for doing another thorough play-through. I'll fix these bugs over the next day or so.

Hi Old Timer

Thanks for your notes. I'm going through them now.

• The balcony south of the throne room was an idea I had at the beginning, but I never removed the doors leading to it. I've now removed them

• I can't see why the Ringing Geode wouldn't appear in the item list. According to the database, it's meant to be visible.

• The houses in Kalbany - It just happened to turn out that way, I don't have too much in the imagination department when it comes to the floor plans. :)

• The save crystals - I've found out what the problem is. If you cancel out of the menu when interacting with one, it defaults to the option as if you used a camping kit.

I'll be fixing the balcony issue, and the save crystals. Hopefully I'll have the update up sometime tomorrow.

Cheers
