Cool stuff, TDS.

Only one thing: of all screenshots you could have chosen to show, you had to chose one where you are KO'ed.

Drink command kills whoever uses it (Testing purposes) and the sprite looks like he fell down drunk.

Maybe you set some tiles to impassable.

The pressing CTRL to move sort of gives a hint to that since it's a testing button used to move through anything.

Check your tiles to see what kind of passable setting they have.

X Means that is not passable and O means passable.

TDS, that menu looks prime. Do you have any plans to use it for anything, or you just recreating stuff as a sort of exercise?

Thanks, I don't really use any of those scripts for anything and I stopped releasing public work a long time ago. I just do it for fun like people who draw fan art (I can't draw) so I replicate stuff I see from games then save any methods that might help me later on with something new.

If you want a menu though, I can make you one. Just let me know how you want it.

Redoing a Lufia II menu with all the features then tackling terranigma stuff.

Definitely, like what I'm seeing in TDS's battle system. It seems to include some features that some others I have played in some games seem to lack: visible turn queue, stamina level to limit movement (or perhaps even actions) per turn and each enemy does its own attention calculation for the AI.

Two things I'm wondering, though: Do actions on either side have a certain range of effect? Will moving a character (enemy or ally) behind another prevent them from being targeted? Finally, the one thing that would make it a real tactical jewel were if enemies and allies could occupy any square in the grid, but that's probably asking for too much.

Thanks.


Skills like movement require stamina to use and prevent one single character from dishing out huge amounts of damage by repeating the same powerful skill. Making you rely on status effects to produce higher damage over time in most cases. Also you recover a set amount of Stamina % each turn or can use foods to speed this process up.

As for moving behind characters causing effects. Yes hiding behind a character can prevent them from being a target if the character in front of them is equipped with the cover ability. Without the ability the damage they receive will be cut in half while the damage they produce will increase the attention of both the person defending and the one being defended.

As for occupying any square in the grid... It wouldn't work since the damage and defense modifiers are based on a simple "Back", "Middle" and "Front" positions. Though it could be easily changed by merging the grids and adding a direction value to determine position and modifier, but that would mean a lot of modifications at this point.
