SHOOBINATOR'S PROFILE

Erroneously, if a battle animation for a skill is too short, another actor will be required to take an action in order to activate the battle event page with the SkillIDSwitch ON trigger. An example of this: I had a battle animation of length 20 frames and another actor had to act to activate the page, while the same exact setup but changing the battle animation to 30 frames caused the battle event page to immediately trigger.

I am, however, still having trouble getting the ItemIDSwitch triggered page to activate immediately (without actually setting the Item to the Switch type (but doing this would disallow targeting with a specific item)).

Thanks for the tips. I tried the enemy-activated switch thing before the generic turn elapsed event, but no luck.

So this RPS patch...it makes it so that Immune appears when something is actually immune to it (i.e. immune to Fire = IMMUNE pops up?) AND it'll display Miss if a status or element outright misses (i.e. Poison failed to stick to a target)? If that's the case, that sounds great and would REALLY help seeing as it's really hard to tell when something lands or not! : o

What you're saying sounds right to me.

I also removed all other plug-ins and patches and then tested it, but no luck.

UPDATE: Aha! I tried the patch with a fresh RM2k3 project and it turns out to be working as intended for attribute tag %1! It's just still not clear at the moment what is causing the interference when adding the patch to my current project.

New question: With the %1 attribute tag, is the accuracy of physical skills affected by AGI at all, or just row position and armor evasion?

UPDATE2: Wow, it turns out that the %1 attribute tag wasn't working in my other project because the skill type was set to a type of "Skill Subset" archetype rather than "Skill" archetype. I have menu options of "Skill Subset" archetype, but really, I don't know how the RM2k3 engine handles those two archetypes differently, so I could probably just have all my skill menu options set as "Skill" archetype. Then I will be good to go!

download RPS[+]Fixed that problem with enemy attacks.

Still not sure what the problem with Skills is, though.

Regarding a change of damage formulas: do you have any non-ambiguous suggestions?

Well if I can use...

SkillDmgRevamp=4C0DE4,#5,4C0DF8,#10,4C0E1A,#10,4C0E2F,#20

to change the skill damage formula to...

(Base Damage)
+ (Attacker's ATK * ATK Influence / 5) - (Target's DEF * ATK Influence / 10)
+ (Attacker's INT * INT Influence / 10) - (Target's INT * INT Influence / 20)
+- 5-50% variance based on skill

and

(2 * Attacker's ATK) - (Target's DEF) + 25% if attacker is in front row

is the damage formula for standard attacks with the current "PhysDmgRevamp" (I'm not 100% sure of how this hack affects the exe, but I'm guessing it helps set regular attack damage.) then I am satisfied with the current patch for my game.

However, maybe customized skill formulas could be enabled to some degree where those 4 parameters in SkillDmgRevamp can be changed depending on the skill that is used. For instance, maybe skills could have unique attribute tags and the A,B,C,D,E parameters could be slots to input your custom parameters to alter the SkillDmgRevamp parameters?

=======================================================

Oh, and that RPS+ update fixed the issue with enemy regular attacks! Thanks a lot! I'm still stuck with the skill damage modification not working 100% as intended.
