HELP NEWBIE ><;!!

[hiromomiji]

Well,I'll go strait to the point...I need help,loads of help...and preferable a patient teacher(s) to help me out ><;.

I've got these amazing story lines in my head (working on three projects at the moment),I don't really need mapping advice,I already know how to make maps.

But my problems are the events...I need some basic info on how to use them and preferable some examples that shows their function.You'll probably say: There are tutorials!!-Or even- check and re-check....well,no...coz if my natal language would've been English and if I was an expert in ICT,than I wouldn't have been asking for this + its allot easier for newbies like me (bunny brains,in other words) to interact with people that have loads more experience than me AND a lot more patience than me too,than watching a tutorial,that doesn't even answer the popping questions at that moment.

so,yeah...help please ^^;?

Here's my problem, I don't know how to use those event buttons.
Even simple stuff like making a chest is a world war for me with those buttons,I really need help and a patient person to give me that.

If someone of you would be so nice to explain me,these basic tree things,I owe you guys allot!!(+ I like testing games and help people make it even beter):

the tree basic things are: >>> the weather (I already succeeded in making it sound like rain,but not making it look like a rainy weather,or even letting it rain --

>>> How to make a simple chest quest

>>> making cut scenes

I've got more questions but I'll start with these ones first.

Anybody,help?

Tutorials really are the only help there is. Unless you want me to make you a demo with a pre-made example of some treasure chests and a few cutscenes, I would be glade to do that, but I need to know what maker you are using, XP or VX.

 

[hiromomiji]

XP ><;,thx for wanting to make me a demo --;
I really have a hard time making simpel events.
thx allot^^!

 

[JoshieBoy]

Demo is being made, I will be done in say, about 10-30 minutes.

 

[hiromomiji]

wow O.o!

 

[JoshieBoy]

Alright, that took a little bit longer than I expected. I might work on this more if you want, because it isn't finished. If you want me to explain more stuff, just say so, and feel free to ask questions. I will get to them in the morning.

[hiromomiji]

Your demo really helped ^^!!

but...Umm...I encountered a problem,its raining in my tent --; + I'm trying to make something appear after the player finished the first event,but the butterfly who isn't suppose to show himself after the event,can be already seen before the event. --;

How is that,anyway --;

 

[JoshieBoy]

Run a parallel process in your tent. Have it set the weather effects to none. For the butterfly, make the first event page blank and add a second page. Make a new switch as well, name it whatever you want. Have the condition on the second page set to switch:Butterfly is on. make sure the butterfly graphic is only on the second page and when you want the butterfly to appear, just turn the butterfly switch on.

 

[hiromomiji]

Wow,thx!!^^!!

If I have another question I'll ask your help again,but for the moment...I have to go to sleep --; *sight*

thx allot,you made my day!!

 

[JoshieBoy]

Alright, just post back here or send me a PM.

 

[hiromomiji]

umm...okay,I think I got a problem with the character itself,it block after a certain event has been erased + I want to change it,but it can't battle yet!!+ in its party I only want to see that particular character...how do we do that?And how do we make other characters join the party after an event or something?

I also wondered how we can make our own battle graphics,faceset and charset?Do we have to buy something or so to be able to make those stuff or is there a free generator for it --?

Besides this,I also wondered how to enable to change party leader (when there are more than two in a party,naturally...)

could you help me,I know its allot ^^;?

 

[JoshieBoy]

Here is a face and character generator:

Here is a better character Generator:

I have never seen a battler generator, sorry. Here is a great script for party changing and a few extras.:

viewtopic.php?f=156&t=23508&start=0

To add a party member, Go to the first page of event commands, you should see a "change party member" command. All you have to do is use that.

Firts link doesn't work on my pc apparently,second link I LOVE IT!!and third...I don't understand a thing what their saying -_-;,nevermind...
There is this event that if you talk to the butterfly,it suddenly blocks the game...how do we fix that --?

 

[JoshieBoy]

Really? Try this link:

Hmm. How much do you now about scripting/scripts? It blocks the game? How? Do you talk to the butterfly and then the game crashes? I have heard about something similar, but the person was using the postality knights edition.

 

[hiromomiji]

after talking to the butterfly it blocks + to be honest...I don't even know about scripting --; and thx for the download link,it works now^^!

 

[JoshieBoy]

Scripting is an essential part of rpg maker. If you go into tools, you should see something called a "script editor." This is were you add scripts. There are 2 types of RPG maker scripts: RGSS for Rpg maker XP and RGSS2 for rpg maker VX. Scripts are what let you add features to your game, change the battle system, of even create a new element of game play. I suggest you read through the whole tutorial I am about to give you. What exactly does it block? Does the character stop moving? Or does it turn into a block? I need more details.

[hiromomiji]

the character doesn't move anymore,that's all...thx for the tutorial,I'll read it!!

Okay,now I know what scripting is...so if I read it correctly,I can add new scripts there,to make my battle thingy(can't find the word) into something I want,is that it?

 

[Unka Josh]

What's the event code for the butterfly? That might be the problem.

 

[hiromomiji]

do you mean the event commands I used --?

 

[Unka Josh]

Yes. Preferably a screenshot. I mean, if talking to the butterfly is what causes the game to freeze, well...
