Pandora's Box

Site(under Construction)


Please Read Below the info below is very important

What is this?

Pandora's Box was originally a section for users to post requests for me to fill out, But I eventually got overwhelmed by the multitude of new script requests coming in daily. (Way too much for one person). So to fix this problem I'm now going to put up a website within the next few week, the site will be an archiving site. I read in a post on here that some script material is being lost due to the downing media sites like Megaupload. Basically once the site is up, You will be able to post new or old scripts along with download links etc into an archive which will allow other users to sift through the mess of scripts with a simple keyword in a search box (such as battle system) or using the navigational system on the site (IE: RMXP > Battle Systems > ATB | TBS | ETC) Users will also be able to make requests on this site those requests will be put into a ticketing system, one the ticket or request is fully completed (this mean all bugs worked out) the requester is allowed to choose to release it to the public or keep it for them selves (once a choice is made the request ticket will be moved or removed)

My Goal?
My goal is simple, I wish to archive all the scripts we know and love, so that future or current RM'ers can look in one location and easily find the program materials they need for their games.

Whats so special about Pandora's Box, compared to everyone else?

To answer your question, how many times have you had to search through your files for that script you need really bad or search through more then 200+ On the Internet to find the perfect scripts for your project.
I personally have spent more time looking for resources for my project instead of actually working on it. Thats why I think it would be more efficient to type in a URL and BAM! Theres a magical box with all
the Scripts I could ever use or want.

How do we know you are good at what you do?

Hmm good thing you ask, below is a spoiler with Screen Shots of some of my most popular systems. Including my Particle System.

Current way to Submit a Request:

All creative and useful ideas are welcomed

Basically submit your idea with a very detailed description of what you want to be in Pandora's Box
Submitting a rough draft or a detailed mock up of your idea with the description would be nice.
Below your Script you must submit your real name or some kind of name to go into the credits for the script idea.(I don't like taking credits for ideas) a name for your Script idea IE: *your name*'s Action Battle System

WARNING: The Script must be logical and useful, IE: it cant be a script to make the gold window appear at the right side of the menu. Also I will only take 2-3 requests at a time right now. Longer Projects will be put on hold so that smaller ones can be completed quickly to make room for larger projects. lastly I do not get paid for this, So I will only work on these during my own time, any help from other members would be appreciated (my skype is azrith001 im on it all the time)

Yeah, I rather have it scripted...just handling 200+ variables is a nightmare for me.

Original Request:

This is my full request details for the HUD I had requested. Whenever you get the chance to work on this, I would be most appreciative. I tried to make this request as detailed as possible, so hopefully this will be a good enough description for you. I've made a mock image, as a visual aid. I'll start in the upper-right with the blue section, and move my way down.

A The hearts is the health display. The only actor being used is the first actor, so this is the HP I want displayed. The hearts are icons, preferably of 3 varieties: Full, Half Full, and Empty. The default number of hearts is three, with a variable capable of changing for up to ten total; 5 on the top row, 5 on the bottom row. Each heart is equal to 50 HP, and will show the half empty icon when at 25 HP or less.
B The bar below the hearts is the magic meter. This is a single picture, 100 pixels long. The picture will erase from the right as magic is used.


The red section shows currently equipped weapons. These should be transparent windows, made from the current windowskin, which will display the appropriate equipment icon in the middle of each. These are the equipment slots to display:

A

$data_weapons[@actor.weapon_ids[2]]

B

$data_weapons[@actor.weapon_id]

C

$data_weapons[@actor.weapon_ids[1]]

A This is for gold display. The gold icon on the right remains static, with the number of gold displayed on the left hand side of the icon. The gold display should be capable of displaying up to 9,999
B
This is just to remind the player how to access their backpack. A simple icon, with the text "Esc or X" displayed to the left of it is all I need.


If you have any questions about my request, feel free to PM me or post in your thread. I'll keep in touch to see how things are going, but I know there are a few requests ahead of me so no pressure. Thank you so much for the help in advance, my scripting knowledge is somewhat limited, so this would be a big help to me.

All of your work looks fantastic, I am sure looking forward to my request.
Just one final note: I like parts in the script for SEs whenver possible...i.e when picking fruit, planting seed, watering, etc.

Agian, I'm looking forward! :grin:

 

[PandoraShock]

I will see what I can do after I get Back from Kansas City, Im working on previous requests until then, then finishing those requests after that.

 

[winter-chaos]

hey pandora
just to let you know the link to download FFXII License Board System
is dead, could you fix it please.
I've been looking everywhere for this kind of script

 

[Ace of Spades]

Wow, thank you so much for the HUD PandoraShock. It turned out exactly the way I wanted it to, I'm very impressed. I did have two quick questions though:
1. Is there a way to manually refresh using a call script? (for when the player gains an extra heart, etc.)
2. Very important, I can't believe I forgot to ask when I requested...is there anyway to turn the HUD off, possibly with a switch?

Again, thank you so much. I'll make sure you get your name in the opening credits. :biggrin:

 

[PandoraShock]

There isnt I can make it, the heart thing is ready just add more to max health and health and u have a new heart. :] IE: Max HP + 50, and Hp + 50 = new heart.

@winter
I will relink it :]

 

[winter-chaos]

Thanks Pandora you are awsome, By the way Great work, More then I expected. If I ever need a script I will defenently give you a Shout

 

[Ace of Spades]

Okay, so I figured out how to switch it on and off. Everything seems to be working perfectly. Thanks again!

 

[PandoraShock]

Awesome :D ^^ Im glad you guys are happy :D

 

[GenoHawk]

Wow.. what an amazing job. I can't wait for you to finish the RE4 Inventory script.
Btw - the license board script and the HUD is AWESOME.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

 

[PandoraShock]

Okay :D Im leaving today to go to Kansas City I will be back Friday Evening :] I will finish all the remaining scripts :3

Thanks
Cya soon
Pandora

 

[GenoHawk]

Have a safe trip.

edit ----------------------------

We all know Pandora has left for the week but can anyone else seem to figure out the bugs with the license boards script. Its an amazing script, I just can't seem to get the LP points to register after a battle. And I don't understand how to switch to another characters board.

Anyone else figure it out yet?

 

[PandoraShock]

I havent left yet, I was spending the day with my dad but I head out tonight :] send me a SS of whats up or something im on msn :D

 

[GenoHawk]

What's you MSN?

 

[gRaViJa]

to give an enemy a certain amount of LP at line 44 you have to put in this:

ENEMIES_LP = {} <== mind here that you might have to change [] into {}
ENEMIES_LP[1] = 50 <== 1 is the id of the enemy, 50 is the amount of LP


to call the license board for a certain character use call script and put this in it: $scene = Scene_Licences.new(x) where x is the hero's id.

Hope this helped

 

[PandoraShock]

I'm back from Kansas City, Im going to take a day or 2 to get over the Jet Lag, but feel free to update me on some things till then :]

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

Pandora. You can ignore my last request. I figured that it wouldn't be right for the game I am working on. Instead I have a mock up for a "Rucksack" system.

It may look like a grid system but what I am requesting is rather different.
The potions, the red rectangles, are "fragile" as a result is it is put under a metal object, grey rectangles and squares, it would break. The same goes for fruit and vegitables, the oragne square next to the long red rectangle, would get squished. So it has to be put in top of all the other stuff. Also gravity comes into effect. If you put stuff with a space between its bottom and the next thing underneth, other objects, the bottom of the rucksack, it will fall into the most appropriate space. If it is fragile or squishable and it is placed two or more spaces above something that would break or squish it, it gets broken or squished. Also some objects react to other objects. For instance the hammer, the brown and grey object, is next to the jar of termites, the green square, the termites eat the wooden handle leaving just a hammer head. The same way the water, the blue rectangle, would make the bread, the light brown square, go mouldy. Also the potion that is between the two daggers, grey rectangles with a space, would also break due to it juttering about and hitting the daggers.

If that was not clear enough below is a labeled version of the mockup:

If it is still not clear enough I can explan step by step.

Also, last thing, could it be as easy to customise as possible? Thanks in advance.

 

[PandoraShock]

Hmm thats very different :] I like it though Im sure its possible I will see what I can do :D

 

[Sgt. Cookie]

Could you call it "Ethora Rucksack" please?
