Hey vihn78,

I'm glad to hear this from you smile.gif
I must also say that my skills with scripting has decreased since I've been out of the buisness for a long period of time.
Though I still want to try this biggrin.gif

Thanks for your support.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

How did I learned to script
QUOTE
Hey pim! I'm the Law G14!

For the past couple of months I've been learning RGSS and I've got the basic stuff down such windows, variables, conditional statements, ect. But, I can't see myself making big scripts such as a jumping system or a side view battle system. I was wondering how you learned to script because I really want to know how to script really well.

Thanks in advance.


Hey there,

Well I don't make battle neither though I can still teach you some things :)...
The way I've learned to script is by reading other scripts for the most part.
I've allways been interested in other peoples work but this time I though I had to try to make something myself...and it worked!!
The most importand thing when you go scripting is (at least in my case) that you want to make something to help an other wich can't script.
You also need to feel the competition that's around in the scripting-community.
Cause, I have to say, if you get pushed to get a sertain request done before an other scripter does, you feel POWERFULL!! :P
So that's an other thing...
You also don't need to be afraid to learn from others or helpfiles.
When I write my scripts, I actualy always have the helpfiles open to look things up I don't know or remember.
Then, you must be calm, cause you need to try the script a lot of times.
When I write a script, I test it after almost every changes.
First I set up the major structure.
Like when I make a window-script or part of a script I start with something like this:
CODE
class Window_Name < Window_Base
def initialize(x,y,width,height)
super(x,y,width,height)
refresh
end

def refresh
self.contents.clear
draw_contents
end

def draw_contents
draw_something(with, some, parameters)
end

def update
refresh if @something != @what_it_should_be
end
end
So that's also very important.
Then, the biggest thing I learned scripting from is TRIAL AND ERROR.
That's the most irritating way to learn something, cause it's more ERROR than TRIAL, but it does the trick realy good.

So that's it how I did it.
Now it's up to you.
Do some requests (if I didn't do it allready :P) and learn from them.

Hope that helped you out a little.
If not, keep your eye on the Scriptology-topic (see my sig) where I'll be updating for my scripting(video)tutorials.
Perhaps they're going to be usefull for you one day ;)


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

I am also glad you are back! I was hoping this project was going to be picked up again. I'm still looking forward to learning from you, since you seem to be the only member who is actually doing something like this. I think my only problem will be the fact i use Firefox. I don't want to go back to IE, i don't like it. So here is my question if you have not figured it out already: Will Firefox users be able to view your Podcast?

I just looked at your Deviant ID page and it says your favorite game is Spore. Is that true? if so, maybe we can be buddies? I have the game and its Xpans.

I'm not necroposting realy, but I just want some tips on a subject.
At the very moment I'm just thinking of how to begin to teach you guys this scripting.
It's darn hard and a lot to learn.
So I though, perhaps I can find something in the topic...but sadly I didn't.
Anyway, I have my mic ready and can just start recording though I don't know what to record... tongue.gif
So if anyway could help me out, what should I record first?

Tell me, let me know.
Also I might like to get a co-host or perhaps a guest who asks questions so I can just explain how to do things.
Then I'll record the conversation where I explain how to do things, wich I can then just upload so you can all learn from it.
It'll be a great guideline for my video podcasts and I would simply know what to tell and what is clear and what not.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Hey biggrin.gif

Thanks for the comment.
I'll be making an new tutorial soon in wich I'll be going over a default script or perhaps a custom script so you get to know with scripting a bit.
It still won't be realy making a script, but that's just because there is so much to learn.
So I'll actualy start with some good tips how to get started to learn a lot of things.
Hope you'll watch again then biggrin.gif

Thanks for the comment and I hope to see you back soon.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

I saw the video, and is very interesting. But a shame I can barely understand spoken english hahaha.

Keep'em comming, there are a lot of noob scripters around here willing to learn more. I'm one.

I just noticed the video, and just watched it earlier.. and I like it.. it's better than reading tutorial and trying it yourself, keep em coming. Once we noobs became a good scripter because of you, we can also help other noobs like what you do now, so keep the job well done.. I'll be watching every each video you do, I assure you smile.gif

How did I learned to script
QUOTE
Hey pim! I'm the Law G14!

For the past couple of months I've been learning RGSS and I've got the basic stuff down such windows, variables, conditional statements, ect. But, I can't see myself making big scripts such as a jumping system or a side view battle system. I was wondering how you learned to script because I really want to know how to script really well.

Thanks in advance.


Hey there,

Well I don't make battle neither though I can still teach you some things :)...
The way I've learned to script is by reading other scripts for the most part.
I've allways been interested in other peoples work but this time I though I had to try to make something myself...and it worked!!
The most importand thing when you go scripting is (at least in my case) that you want to make something to help an other wich can't script.
You also need to feel the competition that's around in the scripting-community.
Cause, I have to say, if you get pushed to get a sertain request done before an other scripter does, you feel POWERFULL!! :P
So that's an other thing...
You also don't need to be afraid to learn from others or helpfiles.
When I write my scripts, I actualy always have the helpfiles open to look things up I don't know or remember.
Then, you must be calm, cause you need to try the script a lot of times.
When I write a script, I test it after almost every changes.
First I set up the major structure.
Like when I make a window-script or part of a script I start with something like this:
CODE
class Window_Name < Window_Base
def initialize(x,y,width,height)
super(x,y,width,height)
refresh
end

def refresh
self.contents.clear
draw_contents
end

def draw_contents
draw_something(with, some, parameters)
end

def update
refresh if @something != @what_it_should_be
end
end
So that's also very important.
Then, the biggest thing I learned scripting from is TRIAL AND ERROR.
That's the most irritating way to learn something, cause it's more ERROR than TRIAL, but it does the trick realy good.

So that's it how I did it.
Now it's up to you.
Do some requests (if I didn't do it allready :P) and learn from them.

Hope that helped you out a little.
If not, keep your eye on the Scriptology-topic (see my sig) where I'll be updating for my scripting(video)tutorials.
Perhaps they're going to be usefull for you one day ;)


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

(Wow, 1.5year necro post. Harsh...)

Just coming to say to anyone who hasn't realized yet that Scriptology is no more. As in, no webpage, forgotten idea(sort of...) and just one episode.

Hi fruroar,

Thanks for the post.
I'm indeed very ashamed that I coulnd't pull of more then this one worthless piece of junk video which doesn't have any coding in it what so ever sad.gif
I really thought it would be a great addition to the community but I lacked the confidence that I could do it.

As you might are aware, I'm not active anymore at all in the RGSS2 scene, though I hope I've added enough value to the community in the past.
At the moment I'm trying to start up something small, myself and a close friend are going to try and create a set amount of smaller games using XNA4 and deploy them on xbox360 and Windows.
I've been thinking of doing weekly updates on our gameprojects so people can follow the different developmentstages while creating a game.
I might put in some code stuff as well if people are interested.
Now XNA4 isn't quite similar to RGSS2. It's a much richer and strict program-language. Though it uses the same principles as RGSS2 by being object oriented.
So it might not help you directly in creating better RGSS2 scripts. Though I think it will help you to understand programming better (specialy object oriented).


That's it for now smile.gif
Back to my b'day party tongue.gif



Greatzz,
SojaBird.
