Equipment Weights V2.0

[Trickster]

Equipment Weights
Version: 2.0

Introduction

This script allows you to assign a weight to your equipment and how much each actor can carry at once, If the actor equips stuff to heavy then either 1) They can't equip it 2) Their stats are reduced. This script also lets you setup a curve so that the amount they can carry increases with level. This script also comes with a conversion function so you can either your swords in one unit while rings and hats in another.

Author's Notes

There might be a few Float Hiccups in the conversion method.

Note: If using the can't equip option. It doesn't check if you use the Change Equipment event command and starting equipment for the start of the game and test battle

Every time you come out with a script, we can't criticise it or even suggest a way to make it better becasue it is already the best. Again, good work on this script.

 

[Shiro]

Samboy's right, I'm always impressed with it, and never sure what to say except it's really awesome

Thanks Trickster! i have been waiting so someone makes a script like this thanks again your great!
[Edit]
A suggestion could you edit your script so when you surpass the weight limit it shows in red and by how much even the stats when they are reduced they remain in red.

I don't think that applies to me, though... :P

Well, posting the script in here'd be more handy than a demo, I suppose... Especially for guys like me who just want to check out some things and not going to test it until the keyboard breaks ^_^

Besides that, it's a good script as always, I'd just like to see the 'Nox'-option in there (characters can't move any more if weigth limit exeeded).

Keep up the good work. :P

Nice script, Trickster, really nice. Just a suggestion, you could make impossible to use some skills depended of huow much weight a hero carries. Like "Agility Skills" wouldn't be used if a character carries too much weight.

 

[gameline]

wow, This is very good for MMORPG games

 

[Chaos_Prime]

Wow another Trickster script.
This one reminds me more of Neverwinter Nights game were you can only carry a certain amount based on the carrying weight of the character.
Just one question @Trickster
Can the carrying weight raise with leveling up the character's dex?

 

[Trickster]

yes, you can do one of two things

a) Use the Curve Generator to mimic your Dex Curve

b) edit this method

  def base_carry
    return @carry_parameters[@level]
  end

to this

  def base_carry
    return $data_actors[@actor_id].parameters[3, @level]
  end

Thanks Trickster, the Japanese script that I found was buggy since it had to refer to things from the database >.<, and again, I thank you for this script

Yeah that was a pretty nasty explanation of the setup you gave me, using elements to define the weight ewww...

Well I could add that in, I'll think about it but don't expect me to jump on it right away

BlueScope has anyone ever told you that you use too many smilies :P

I don't post scripts since it is too much of a hassle to keep everything in sync, and I'm too lazy to do that (I'm the scripter I have a right to be lazy!).

I will do the option you suggested to me in IRC the next time I update this script It will be there

I will add that option in next update

The only other thing I can suggest for this amazing script is this. When you are "Encumbered" your characters speed should drop by 1, so instead of walking and dashing at Walk = 4(4) speed and Dash = 5(5) speed, it becomes Walk = 4(3) speed and Dash = 5(4) speed.

More than just make it character affected, as well affect on map status

That feature is already in there somewhat It will not decrease by a set amount but it will decrease by a percentage (seems more realistic this way), and it only affects the first actor in party.

so if Aluxes/Arshes is overweight by 20kg and he can only carry 40kg and his walking speed is 4. Then his walking speed will be decreased to

4 * 40 / (40 + 20) = 4 * 2 / 3 = 8 / 3 = 2.66667

and the walking speed can be set to a decimal value with no problems at all

And don't mind the values I set to some of the stuff in the demo and my example above, they are just random values

The option to make the move speed the party's average move speed though that will be added in the next update along with the other stuff people suggested.

Excuse me? In your demo, when I entered Equip screen, an error message poped up:

Script 'Equip Windows' line 326: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'clear' for nil:NilClass

 

[Trickster]

Ok that has been fixed I don't know how that got there :-/

 

[Stabbing Westward]
