Need help editing Threat System script (XP)
Need help editing Threat System script (XP)
So I am working on integrating Fanatist's Threat System script into my game and I've come across a minor snag.
My goal is to move the threat gauge down so it's below the HP counter. I'd also like add the letters EF (Enemy Focus) to the left of the threat number.
My first and biggest problem is that while I have been able to move the Threat counter, it only moves to the correct spot for the first player character. The other two move down but are too far to the left.
My second problem is that I just don't know how to pop the desired "EF" in there. I can do without this if I need to, but I'd like to have it there.
If anyone with more experience might be up for taking a gander at the script (below) I'd appreciate the help.
(I used Hide rather Code because Code was giving me some weird problem where it stretches out so that it's unreadable.)

# ** Threat System
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# by Fantasist
# Version: 1.2
# Date: 23-Oct-2011
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version History:
#
# 1.0 - First version (13-July-2009)
# 1.1 - Fixed Force Action bug and added enemy-specific threat ignore (21-Oct-2011)
# 1.2 - Added disable by switch, threat by damage, fixed a display bug
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description:
#
# During battle, enemies will choose their targets based on their "threat"
# rather than randomly. The threat for an actor changes depending on what they
# do. For example, attacking raises threat and defending decreases threat.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Compatibility:
#
# Might be incompatible with other battle systems or battle addons.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Instructions:
#
# Place this script anywhere above "Main" and below "Scene_Debug".
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration:
#
# Scroll down a bit and you'll see the configuration.
#
# ATTACK_THREAT: Threat to increase when actor attacks
# DEFEND_THREAT: Threat to decrease when actor defends (read THREAT_BY_DAMAGE)
# THREAT_CHANCE: The chance of enemies attacking based on threat
# THREAT_SWITCH: Turn this ON to temporarily disable the threat system
# THREAT_BY_DAMAGE: When "true", an actor's threat increases by the damage
# caused to enemies. Enabling this ignores ATTACK_THREAT.
# When defending, actor's threat is divided by DEFEND_THREAT.
# THREAT_DISPLAY: Display players' threats besides their name
# THREAT_WINDOW: Whether to enable or disable threat window
# To enable it, set it to "true". If you want to set it's
# position and width, you can also set it to an array with
# it's X position, Y position and width (eg: ).
# ENEMY_IGNORE: List of enemy IDs which ignore the threat system
#
# Skill Threat Configuration:
#
# Look for "SKILL THREAT CONFIG BEGIN" and follow the example.
# In the given example:
#
# when 57 then
#
# the skill 57 (Cross Cut) increases user's threat by 10 and decreases the
# rest of the party's threat by 2.
#
# Item Threat Configuration:
#
# Works exactly the same as skill threat configuration.

Looking for an artist for some detail work
Hi all,
So I recently hired an artist to help me do the coloring and detailing for a character battler. Sadly, they backed out and now I'm looking for someone else to give it a go.
Rather than shoot off messages to random artists I find on Deviant Art, I'm wondering if anyone with talent here might be interested and looking for a bit of cash.
If you worked out there would be potential for more work and of course, a credit in the game
Here is the battler I need finished:

Looking for ideas for my battle screen layout.
Psh...Well when my multi-million dollar Kickstarter campaign succeeds we'll see what tune you sing! :)
Seriously though, if anyone is interested in helping out and possesses the skills to do so I'm willing to negotiate a compensation. I said $20 but I'm open to discussion.

There will be 3 party members total. I just don't have battlers for the other two yet.
How hard would it be to replace the fight/escape text menu with icons? I.e. one for attack, running, special attacks and resting? A nice HP bar would be a good idea too. I'm not sure how many skills each character will have... I'm shooting for a game length of about 10-15 hours, so maybe 6-7 per character?
Heh, how much do you charge?

Hmm... Well as I said, there's not SP in the game. HP doubles as SP, meaning that to perform a special skill you'd need to essentially damage yourself, which could be risky if you're at low health.
The hero will be able to use perform a basic attack, perform special moves, use items, rest, and attempt to flee. Resting would essentially be a Defend move, you lose a turn but recover a percentage of your HP.
I'm a big fan of classic turn-based RPGs, so I want to keep things simple combat-wise. That said, I had considered trying to implement a "focus" system similar to the threat system in the Deadly Sin games whereas performing specific attacks or moves will draw the enemy's attention to a character and make them more likely to attack that character. I actually think it would work well, especially with my HP system. I'm hesitant though, because I don't want to be seen as copying their system. I also imagine such a system would require heavy scripting and I'm not a scripter at all.
Status ailments would also play heavily into the game and their use would sometimes be needed to beat a boss. For instance, a boss with a high defense might need to be attacked with a defense lowering attack to even put a dent in their health. Another goal with my status ailments is to keep them largely grounded in reality. I'm looking to make the Game of Thrones of RPGs and keep magic a very limited presence in the game. So far none of planned attacks are magical in nature and the status ailments will be along the lines of broken bones, sprained knees, poison, bleeding, etc. I imagine that would play into things like icons for status ailments and such.
Oh! And the art stops at the area containing the player characters. It would just be black past that point.
I hope some of that was useful...

Looking for ideas for my battle screen layout.
So I'm dealing with a minor quandary. I'm making a demo for a game I hope to Kickstart and someday take commercial. Hoping to put my best foot forward I've invested in unique music and am still putting together a nice repertoire of custom art (both hand drawn and pixel) that I'm going to use to make a playable demo.
The thing is, my battle layout is the standard XP one and I think I need something a bit more unique to my project if I'm going to ask people to give me money. My problem is that I have no clue where to go with this.
I actually really like the basic XP layout and don't want to stray too far from that classic Dragon Quest style. That said, I know I need something....
As such I'm turning to you kind folks. I've posted a couple screens from my game below and if anyone has any ideas I'd be much appreciative. Moreover, if anyone has the ambition to help me actually put something together, I'd be willing to compensate them financially. I'm not rich so we're probably talking in the area of like $20, but hey, you can buy a copy of Dragon Quest V for $20, so that's something!
A few pertinent details:
-My art is tailored toward the aforementioned Dragon Quest static battle screens, so it has to fit that.
-The Carmichael character art is currently a placeholder. Another artist did a better piece that's currently being detailed.
-While the mockups have an SP counter there will be no SP in the actual game, just HP.
Let me know your thoughts!

Fog effects in battle?
Fog effects in battle?
So my artist just finished up a nice night time village background for me. Thing is, there's going to be a sequence in my demo where the village is being burned down and I'd like that to come across in battle. Is there any way to use a fog effect (or something) in battle to create a fiery/smoky haze over the background?
Here's the background for kicks!

Hand Drawn/Painted Tilesets
A lesson well learned. :)

project wasn't finished but this one is "painted" instead of pixel and I love the way it looks except for the fact that pixel sprites look wrong with the background.
http://rpgmaker.net/games/4506/
and no sprite should ever cost $90 and that is 100% generated unless you had that commissioned from the creator of looseleaf. there are several websites where you can report an artist and check if an artist has been reported before.
