Awesome.
Great job Mr. Mo.
Also I saw you needed help with the graphics for the ABS.
I don't know if this would help at all...

not bad, i like the SBABS.

 

[Hevendor]

Didn't find any bugs - good job! Cute demo too

 

[Mr.Mo]

lol, thank you Were you able to finish it?

 

[Hevendor]

Yeah, I'm used to these kinds of puzzles :D Nice ideas though!

I had a slight problem - it was a bit hard to get heroes to go through the 1-tile wide jail doors. Had to do some dancing around before I found out they warp back to you if you go too far =x

 

[Mr.Mo]

Makes sense. Thats a problem with the AI XD.

 

[Zetaraptor03]

Another AI quirk.....  Allies walking past 1-tile-wide walls will hear enemies on the other side and dance around the wall. Once you get too far away the allies respawn as intended, but then they run all the way back to that wall and continue to dance around. They want to find that enemy, but they are trapped by walls.

Perhaps you can make them 'forget' about those monsters when they respawn near the main player?

 

[Mr.Mo]

I already know that. when they respawn, they have already forgotten it Its just they prolly find it again XD.

 

[TheNamelessone]

Wow, the AI is so much better and the lag is almost nonexistent! Looks like I have no need of your old SBABS.


I have a request for your new SBABS, though. Hopefully it isn't too much trouble to script, but then again I wouldn't know because I have no scripting knowledge.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could somehow add the ability to play battle music when an enemy is in sight, and have it restore the music after they are defeated. Someone created a similar script for your SBABS and I guess it spoiled me. Heh. I understand some people might not like this, so if you decide to do it maybe it could be optional or something.

*Edit*


I received this error when my party leader was killed.

Actually..people been wanting that for a while. I'll add it to the next version. I'm currently working on a TBS and a game for it..so a next version might be a while but I'll probably do it before i finish the game still.

 

[al3itwi]

it's quite good... But how can I switch the (changing player)off?

And can you please give me the number of the line of the script to edit?

 

[Seda]

This is a really good system, but I was looking at your scripts a bit and noticed a possible bug. If a characters Hp reaches 0 in your party, they are still able to roam about and attack... probably something important to fix XD! One other question! How do you get rid of the ranged weapons able to go through walls thing?

 

[Zetaraptor03]

I already know that. when they respawn, they have already forgotten it Its just they prolly find it again XD.

Score 1 for the AI....  Oh well, I can ignore that. Keep it up, Mr. Mo!

Hello.

Hm. I copied the scripts from the demo to my project. But I get this error when I try to play:

I know the comments are in the right order. Everything is correct. I even copied an enemy from the demo, the error still occurs.

 

[Mr.Mo]

Hmm..what other scripts do u have in game?

 

[TheNamelessone]

Mr. Mo, I found another error.


I get this error whenever I use a switch during conversation to start a battle.

[Mr.Mo]

it looks like you made an error in the enemy setup. Make sure everything is in the right order. IF you can't fix it, take a screen of the setup of that enemy.

 

[TheNamelessone]

Thanks Mr. Mo. I had the hategroup out of order, lol.
