Slime Salad

Is this accurate? It just adds or multiples all the applicable resists and treats the damage as a single total? If so, that makes a lot more sense; dunno why I was thinking that it would have to deal with the two elemental types separately. So um, in the above example, the Grumpkin would take .80 * ...

Can someone confirm for me how the math is handled when an attack has two elements, and the enemy has different resists for each? As a hypothetical, let's say we have the Martin Sword, which does an attack that is both ice and fire element. Then, suppose you attack a Grumpkin with this sword, which ...

Yeah, you can't actually run ANY script in battles for the time being. However, you can do some fancy stuff with elements and attack chaining and all that. If what you want is so that you can keep attacking an enemy forever until you deal the final blow with a critical hit, there's a few ways you ca...

I've been doing a lot of technical stuff lately, and felt like drawing, so here you go:



BMP for importing into CUSTOM: here

Yeah, I eventually realized I was going over 36 characters -_-;; By that point, however, it was super-late, and I didn't come here to update, because I figured the fact that it bugged instead of truncating would still be of interest to you. In any case, I did fix my particular problem however! Thank...

Just in case it matters, the item descriptions do contain extensive codes for extra characters and such; could this be messing with it in some way? Here's a typical example: Full Plate \156:50 \199:-10 : \175:0 \214:12 \215:12 \216:10 EDIT: Con...

Heya, I'm running into an error that I can't make sense of. Everything was working okay, until I got to the point where I finally added in my item descriptions (column B). Now, when I try to import the .csv back into the .rpgdir, I get this error: Writing into records 0 to 1450 (out of 1451 ...

Anytime you get an error that reads "invalid ______ -1", it generally means that the thing you were trying to refer to doesn't exist (and hence the reference to it returns -1). Like if you try to refer to the hero in slot 2 when the player has actually moved any heroes out of slot 2, game....

I'm all for most of these extravagant systems you're mentioning, but I also wanted to chime in that the hunger/thirst system seems like a potentially game-ruining element to me as well. Even if the rest of your game were amazing, it would never contribute to that, and would only be a case of "i...

Confirming that its the same for me:

- fades out correctly
- remains black forever
- no combination of "wait" commands changes anything
- using the 5/03/2012 nightly

Funny, earlier I was having problems with a fadescreenin after teleporttomap! I couldn't figure anything out either, and eventually just made a door. Of course, making a door isn't always an option in such a case, so it'd be good to know why this happened. My original script that didn't fade in prop...

Yayyyyy, someone actually used the Sword of Burdens! Happy to hear that. I wanted to have some "ridiculous" weapon in there, but since no one mentioned it, I figured the tradeoff was just too much. ^^

Oh, okay, I get it now. Just the "jargon" was throwing me, which is my fault. Thanks for helping to explain it, TMC! This game may well have been close to impossible without your assistance.

GILZUS / ZILGUS SUPER-SECRET STRATEGY!!: There's a trick with Gilzus's first form. Whenever his trident is gathering power (it appears to be electrified), but before he releases Zigajolt, you can hit the trident with any lightning-based attack, and it will overload the attack and cause it to hit Gil...

It's working great so far, but does anyone have any insight into how to handle the "equippable by" bits? I only get 8 of them showing up in my spreadsheet, despite having 13 defined heroes. I figure I must be misunderstanding something, and the definition of the ITM lump on the wiki isn't ...
