[RM2K3]HeroOfHyla's RM2K3 Kits Options

[HeroOfHyla]

So, I've always had a lot of trouble coming up with storylines and following through for my games. I've only ever finished one game, and it was awful. Just now I've decided that I'm going to put a rest to actual game development for a while.

Instead, I'll be doing kits. A kit is basically a custom menu or battle system that people can use, modify, and incorporate into their games. Users will just need to open up the kit in RM, and start their game using it, or copy the code into their pre-existing game. The kit will include instructions on use and how to customize and personalize it.

Example:
I make a radial menu system kit. Someone downloads it, and starts a game using it. They can use any of my pre-made skills and items. There would also be instructions and resources to allow the user to create their own items/skills/whatever is needed.

---

So, now that you get the idea, please feel free to request a kit for your game.

NOTE: I only use rm2k/3 at the moment, because I don't know rgss.

HeroOfHylia you might just be on to something here. I'd say "PM me if you need help," but I'm not much help. T.T I made myself sad *goes outside*

Yeah, this will be nice. We already have a few on the main site, like the Name Generator Cynon made a while back. It's in the Tutorial section. Anyway, maybe you can start off with something easy; like a Day and Night system with a couple of neat features here and there.

HeroOfHylia

It's Hyla, not Hylia. It's a long story involving runescape having a length limit on names.

Wait, that was the whole story


Well anyway, I'll get started on a day and night system post haste!

[Oceans Dream]

I dunno, Day and Night is very very common in RM2K/3 tutorials. I can bet that a google search for it will lead to enough day and night tutorials to leave them happy.

Maybe a simple character selection thing using pictures could be good.

[SeeYouAlways]

Yeah, true. I wanted for him to start him easy though, and move on to more complicated stuff. (And so I can add the day and night to the site, because I don't want to take it from another site.)

[HeroOfHyla]

I just got through the very basic parts of the day/night system. Everything works, I just need to make the screen tints look better, because I can't find a good tint for dusk.

What other features do I need, like dynamic weather, etc.?

[HeroOfHyla]

The kit's all zipped up for version 1.0 release!

Sweet I'm gonna try that out and (off topic) HAPPY NEW YEAR =P

[HeroOfHyla]

Thanks. I'm going to be doing a party switcher kit next.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Blorg. I tried the day and night system (finally). It was pretty good, and the screen tones were decent. The night screen tone is always hard to get. Can't wait for the party selection system; it'd be great for people who want some custom systems into their games. Now my next question: How would I add these to the site... Under what category... Tutorials and Examples?

[HeroOfHyla]

Well, Ultima Island has these kind of things under "Starter Packs" but Tutorials and Examples should be fine.

[HeroOfHyla]

The party switcher kit is done sooner than expected!

I would have preferred to use SaveFile, but it says uploading isn't working right now.

I added the tutorials (finally) to the database:

You can submit screenshots to show on the sections, if you like.

[HeroOfHyla]

Quick note: The readMe on the party switcher has an error. I said variables 1-7, but it should be 1-25.

Thank you so much!
I put my project off because I couldn't find a way to switch between my 7 characters, I'm gonna download it soon.

[HeroOfHyla]

If anyone has a kit they need, don't hesitate to request it!

The Party Switcher kit looks excellent. I'll get that as soon as possible - I definitely want to use that in my game.

Does it allow you to "lock" certain characters to a party, so that you cannot remove some particular characters, but can remove others?

[HeroOfHyla]

I hadn't thought of that! I'll figure out a way to implement that in the next release.

[SeeYouAlways]

I have a few requests, but I don't mind if it isn't possible to do.

1. Quest log? As long as I can view current quests and show completed quests, it doesn't matter how it's done really.
2. Reputation system? Similar to WoW I guess; like a experience bar going up each time the variable goes up.
3. Attribute distribution system? Like in Diablo, when you level up you get a certain amount of attribute points and the player can distribute the points in however they want. (attack, defense, intelligence, etc.). HP and MP would grow automatically though.

These would be picture based, ofcourse, so I wouldn't have to use message boxes for the most part. Using dialogues to explain stuff (like a quest) I don't mind, but displaying the stuff seems to trouble me the most. Tell me what you think!
