I totally agree on that. Nobody should work for tips, it's like working on the black market : no taxes i.e. no social security, no retreat, etc.@ Feldschlacht IV, in France, tips are officially (only) banned.

in the u.s. tips are treated as wages at tax time i think. so, theyre still taxed, still go into soc security, etc.

on topic, if a fast food place forgets to give me something like a fry or a burger then sometimes I'll go back and sometimes I won't. I think the hassle of driving all the way back to the restaurant is more of a deterrent than the actual imposition you are placing on the staff or w/e. They don't care about giving you a missing 4 piece nugget or burger that you paid for.

Another question: Should I be looking to make a small more traditional RPG first to acclimate myself to RPG Maker VX? Or should I be looking to dive straight in with the SRPG scripts?

Using a custom battle system makes the process more a lot more difficult. I had trouble getting gtbs to work correctly. So far I've had more luck with Tomoaky's SRPG but it is a lot less user friendly. Not to mention 1/2 of the code info is in Japanese. (still very thankful for what is translated).

For example, how comfortable are you with this? I don't know if there's easier ways to do this but I had to come up with some creative ways to problem solve. I wanted to change all of the in-battle sound effects. To find it, I had to search ".ogg" in the script to figure out which line called this or that audio file.

Upon searching the script, I found that line 627 in the Scene_SRPG, labeled "# 協力効果音" for "Cooperative effective sound", contained a .ogg file. In other words, that is the audio file that is played when battlers "cooperate".

To get enemies to cooperate, you put "<assist=n>" where n equals the % chance that the enemies will help each other in the "Note" section of the enemy tab of the database.

There's a lot of little things that you don't do in the regular system. That said, if you spend a full day messing with it you will probably start getting a lot more comfortable.

Let's all jump on the Shmup haet bandwagon. I seriously don't understand what's going on, to be honest.

Like I said, I don't even hate shmup. In fact, I can't really think of any of them that I dislike. On the other hand, there are several that I do like or enjoy their non-drama posts.

I'm not going to watch that. I'm sure it's a killer burn and that I should be embarrassed or w/e but I don't care.

The sad thing is that I actually like a few people from shmup and have no problem with yds. But their bullshit posts are getting old.

btw, fuck you kef. your fellow shmuppers liked my game before I said that you guys were acting like babies. If this site or that game sucks so bad go make your own game/site dickhead.
