OHR Confessional

My turn!

-I've never finished Vikings of Midgard and probably never will. After about halfway through, I just got bored and uninterested, and now, every time I restart, I just quit. It's developing into an unexplanable hate for the game.

-I love contests. Every time somebody throws up a contest, I start a game to make it in. However, I've only managed on COMPLETING two games in time for the contest, one of which was a colab. Both of which sucked. Oh yeah, and did I happen to mention that those are the ONLY games I've made?

-I like to pretend I know what people are talking about. Especially on these forums.

-While I like good, old-fashioned RPGs... to a degree, they drive me nuts. Certain RPGs will get my attention and I'll play ALL THE WAY THROUGH, (like Wandering Hamster), but most (and I do mean MOST) just get thrown on the wayside the very first time I die.

-I fourth the battles are too fast. Although, I don't have a damned clue what to do about that.

The battle speed has been fixed for about a year. There are lots of things you can do now, like slow the damage display down and pause on all battle menus. You can also make battles pause whenever a message is being displayed.

Yes, but it still feels too fast-paced. I realize battles are supposed to feel fast-paced, but still...

On a related subject, how exactly do you incorporate a different battle-type script? Like, say you want battles to be played through in a different way? Like, say you want a Pokemon style battle, and you drew the graphics and got a script that should place the slices. How would you replace the current battle script?

In your map data, you can do instead-of-battle scripts.

You can even use the formation information to store your own battle stuff.

Duh. Damn. Why didn't I think of that? Thanks.

You can also store data in the enemy stats. I did this for the card game in Motrya, but I imagine you could expand it to a traditional RPG battle system too.

I've never tried that, and I haven't played Motrya yet, so I don't know how. I'll give it some experementing.

You actually won't be able to tell from playing it, but basically the enemy stats are a great place to store numbers that you might want to use in scripting since they can effectively function like arrays that you can edit in CUSTOM.

I don't fully get arrays. Lemme download some tutorials on that...
