SVIEL'S PROFILE

I've heard about a Force Action bug, but I can't seem to find much info on it. I'm using Yanfly's Core, though, so it should probably be fixed.

That said, the bug I'm experiencing is that if too many Force Action commands are used in a single round, the tail end of the actions array is cut off. Slow moving party members will queue up their attacks but never execute them.

For reference, here's my Force Action module.

def force_action(skill_id, target_index)
clear_actions
action = Game_Action.new(self, true)
action.set_skill(skill_id)
if target_index == -2
action.target_index = last_target_index
elsif target_index == -1
action.decide_random_target
else
action.target_index = target_index
end
@actions.push(action)

end

and here's Yanfly's alias

I've been nosing around the 'new to RMN' FAQ and such, but haven't really found a solid answer to this. It's implied that demos should be released in the same fashion as a game, but this seems kind of odd as there is then no distinction in terms of makerscore.

For example, I have a game that I'm going to release later that is actually a game. Right now, I just want to put up a demo that is a sampling of the game, but necessarily has different production goals as the point is to give players an idea of what to expect from the main. One has several hours of content, then other is 10-15 minutes long. One is obviously recognizable as a game, the other is vastly tighter in terms of progression and choice.

It seems like a poor idea to replace the demo dl with the actual game later on as any ratings would become inaccurate and, ideally, the demo would persist even after the main release.

But at the same time, it doesn't seem right that both projects are valued equally. Not necessarily because of length, some sort games are fine, but because a demo is not a proper game, in the same respect as the game is it demoing.

So, yeah. If that's how it's done, I won't get my panties in a bunch over it, but I don't want to inadvertently look like I'm making a cheap grab for makerscore.
