SHOOBINATOR'S PROFILE

I just recently added this to my own game.

Track the XP of everyone in your party before and after battle. Calculate the differences once the battle ends. At least one person will have a nonzero difference. Add that amount to all those who are dead and currently in the party, and add that amount to everyone who is not currently in the party but curretnly "available" to join the party (i.e. they are in your traveling group or w/e as far as plot goes but were not selected for battle).

You can use a variable to track at what point the player is in the storyline and who is appropriate to add the extra XP to.

As for the implementation, add a monster group event to every monster group with the trigger "Turns Elapsed = 0". Call a common event here to set variables for the start-of-battle-XP and to turn on a switch S to run a "Post_Battle_Events" common event. Post_Battle_events should be set to AutoStart with switch S as it's trigger. In this common event, track your end of battle XP and add extra XP accordingly.

Though the word "Immune" will pop up if the (normally absorbed) damage is calculated as being zero (due to too high of a DEF value).

This is fine because a target that can absorb something is still Immune but to an extreme degree.

And the DamageCapper QuickPatch does not work with absorbtion being 0. If you don't remove that QuickPatch, it will do the minimum damage instead of healing 0 HP.

I was actually using -9999 for DmgCapper(min), so that shouldn't be an issue.

I am using -9999 for the DmgCapper(min) and 1 for the %12 Damage attribute minimum.

EDIT: I tested the latest update to RPS+ and it didn't actually seem to solve the absorption issue.

This may been the problem. I was using it to make monsters deal a minimum of 1 damage. They had no weapons, so skills don't work.

Light skill was holy and %12.
"Attack" skill was blunt and %3, %4, %5, %12.

I'm using an enemy skill with %1, %5, and %12. It still does 1 damage even if the power isn't high enough BUT it does get completely blocked by full immunity to its element and it will be absorbed as well if the target's resistance is high enough. However, there is a weird interface issue where instead of healing a positive amount, sometimes (seemingly at random) you will take negative damage, which is effectively a heal but it looks like damage because it's in the damage font color with a negative sign.

The part that I crossed out was tested with a skill that would normally do >0 amount of damage. If the skill would have done 0 damage, with the %12 attribute, it would deal 1 damage on a target that would usually absorb the attack, instead of healing 0. However, this same kind of skill will successfully read "Immune" if the target is exactly immune to the skill element type.

status condition pose for a hero may not update immediately.

Is it still impossible?

author=bugmenot
impossible with DynRPG (for now).

No callbacks on damage calculation = no fancy custom formulas, that's what was said.

Try this:

readme
%12 (Damage Cap)
[Attack]+[Skills]
-> min.DMG = [A] (doesn't overwrite Immunity or damage below zero)
-> max.DMG = [B] (set [B] = 0 to not use a max.Cap)

Both these patches seem to work wonderfully, except the new RPS+ attribute DOES overwrite damage below zero for weapons, as far as I can tell. However, everything else works great!

Does this do something:

This should force the Hero to move back if he/she is not where she/he started at, when any Condition is in effect.


If not, it might help sending me a RPG_RT.ldb with just that battle event that 'successfully' gets the Hero stuck.

I can't really recreate the sequence in which you applied the change of Conditions. Might be because I don't know jack about RPG Maker, heh.

Oh goodie! It worked! :D thanks a bunch!
