~[Kylock's Time System VX 1.5]~ Options

[Solaris]

This may be a newbie question, but well...
Where exactly do I put the script? I mean, okay, I have the 'Script Editor', but where in there? Like, under 'main'...?
Thanks for help!

Anyone?

Please?

Yeah mate i had the same problem (noob), open your script editor, and put it in the "materials" section
then it will work fine

[dndproductions]

I'm getting an EOFE error (end of file reached) on line 444 whenever I try to load a saved file. Is this because I added the script after already working on parts of my game?

EDIT: Oh, heh, this was already answered earlier in the thread. Oops.

Haven't tested it yet but I think this is what i am looking for.

[VerifyedRasta]

No idea why this is happening ... but anytime i go into the Debug menu <F9> and i go to the variables that should contain the calculations for time. I get this error



Could it have something to do with the Variable names? I really don't know ... and need help

[Twilight27]

Wow, there are a lot of problems...is Kylock away?

Could someone make this script to work on RPG Maker XP? please

I believe, he created one for XP already; he said so in the first post. Try looking for it in the XP section.


Anyway...anyone knows if he's checking this site often or is there a contact for him? I have a few questions for him...

[zen03y]

Can I use this for just normal time to keep track of hour many hours you played the game in total? If so, how?

[OniChild]

might be kind of pointless, but, do you have a demo of this? i know you can customize tones and all that, but, could you make a demo of this using like... "default tones" or whatever you would call it?

thanks!

When I use this script and it turns night, the new NPCs and events that only appear at night, don't appear unless i open Menu, exit Menu. I remember reading some else here having the same problem, but it can't be fixed since its a part of RPG Maker VX that it only reads the conditions for events when you enter a place or activate it or something.

Is it possible to modify this script to use variables, so like, it turns night time and it will automatically refresh the map by using variables to remember the location you are standing at, then transfering you to that same location using the variables. That way, it will "refresh" the map so that the events that weren't there, are now there.

Is it possible?

@nobodyreal

If I remember correctly, the script composer said that this done on purpose to prevent NPC's from magically appearing out of nowhere.

However, there is a work-around.

What I did was put the update-switch-call in the update section of the "core":

Change this:

CODE

# Computes current time and updates variables if used
  def update
    if !@kts_stop
      @total_seconds = (Graphics.frame_count * KTS::SPEED / 60) + @event_offset
      @seconds = (@total_seconds) % 60
      @minutes = (@total_seconds / 60) % 60
      @hours   = (@total_seconds / 3600) % 24
      @days    = (@total_seconds / 86400)
      update_tint
      if KTS::DATABASE_OUTPUT
        $game_variables[KTS::TIME]    = getTime
      end
    end
  end

to this:

CODE

# Computes current time and updates variables if used
  def update
    if !@kts_stop
      @total_seconds = (Graphics.frame_count * KTS::SPEED / 60) + @event_offset
      @seconds = (@total_seconds) % 60
      @minutes = (@total_seconds / 60) % 60
      @hours   = (@total_seconds / 3600) % 24
      @days    = (@total_seconds / 86400)
      update_tint
      update_switches
      if KTS::DATABASE_OUTPUT
        $game_variables[KTS::TIME]    = getTime
      end
    end
  end

The events will still not auto-update, but you can use events to check if the switches are on/off and then launch your events accordingly.

@Originalwij

That's perfect! That's just what I wanted; the events to automatically update, and that's what the edit did. The magically popping out of nowhere doesn't bother me really. I can probably fix that by making an event that fades out the screen a second before the switch turns on using the variables and fades in when it turns night or something. I just didn't want the player waiting forever for an event to appear, when it wont until they refresh somehow.
Thank you so much Originalwij!

Ok I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this problem, the problem is that when I save in a map that doesn't have KTS in it's name and I load it, it works fine. However, if the map has KTS in it's name and I save it there and then load it I get this messge

Ignore the above please I pasted the wrong URL

This is the right one. Any ideas?

Is there a way to get the day of the week displayed below the time in the menu?

[lomastul]

[Wolftor]

I'm pretty nooby at scripting, never tried it before but, my Time Bar Majigger isn't showing. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I would appreciate if you could reply on this. Thanks

[Versus_Shin]

Kylock, contratulations on this great script!
Thanks for posting.

One doubt: Is there a way to set diferent enemy groups for different times of the day? For example, stronger monsters only apear at night. Something like that?

[eugene222]

This is very cool. I want to use this, but it have Problems with your Light Effects Skript. I hope he will fix it.

[SowS]

hello guys! i just wanted to help you here. If you want to make the day of the week be seen with the time in the menu, change line 397-414 to make it look like something like this:

[Show/Hide] lines 397-414

class Window_KTS < Window_Base
def initialize(x, y)
super(x, 286, 160, WLH + 50)
refresh
end
def refresh
self.contents.clear
self.contents.draw_text(4, 12, 120, 32, $kts.getDayName, 2)
self.contents.draw_text(4, -6, 120, 32, $kts.getTime, 2)
end
def update
super
$kts.update
self.contents.clear
self.contents.draw_text(4, 12, 120, 32, $kts.getDayName, 2)
self.contents.draw_text(4, -6, 120, 32, $kts.getTime, 2)
end
end

now, if you want to change the position of the window, change x or y in:

CODE

super(x, 286, 160, WLH + 50)

x ranges from 0-640 while y ranges from 0-480....

there! have fun using this great script!

The problems people are having are mostly related to people setting variables by hand or other scripts modifying variables that this script uses. I will eventually update this script and idiot-proof the default settings so that this won't happen.

If you have questions, a PM is fine, but if you want support for a script, its better to post to the topic.
