how do you add skills for the Reyvateil?

i tried adding the number of my skills on the script just like the default ones..
but when i tried it they won't do damage and when it reaches the % for evolving.. it crashes!

anyone know how to add skills? :(

Can you be more specific? There are only 2 sort of skills you can set for a Reyvateil: Red magic and Blue magic. You also need to set them up correctly in the config part.
That being said, I've been told that my script is rather difficult for beginners. So if you need a complete configuration or some custom things, you can PM me the necessary files or your project and I'll see what's wrong.

both Blue and red magic skills been reading the scripts but I still don't get it how to make it work :(

Config is different whether it's Red song or Blue song. For Red, you have several steps.

CODE

SongMagicChargeAnim = {82 => 102, 83 => 107}

Here, you have to put the ID of the loop animation for the song. The number to the left of the arrow is the ID of the skill in the database, and the number to the right the ID of the animation.

CODE

SongMagicMaxBurst = {82 => 700, 83 => 3000, 89 => 6000}

Here, you set the maximum burst value of the song. Again, the number to the left is the skill ID and the one to the right is the max value. Even if your song doesn't evolve anymore, you need to put the max value as it is used for the calculations.

If you haven't set properly these, then you will have an error.

oh so that's why im having errors..
now my next problem is
my new skill deals damage. but it wont show the damage rate...
it just hits without the damage rate sowing

[Kread-EX]

Hmm, that's weird. Can you give me the informations of your skill (this means both the database part and the script part)? I'll try to replicate the problem.

that's a problem with the Animated battlers script. Your battler file need to have a certain layout and a certain number of poses. you can configure individual poses number in this part of the script:

CODE

  # Individual Spritesheet Control Center
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------        
  MNK_POSES_ENEMY         = {1 => 10, 35 => 10, 36 => 10,  # ID and # of poses for each enemy
  38 => 10}
  MNK_FRAMES_ENEMY        = nil       # ID and # of frames for each enemy
  MNK_POSES_ACTOR         = {3 => 10, 4 => 10}  # ID and # of poses for each actor
  MNK_FRAMES_ACTOR        = nil       # ID and # of frames for each actor.

ok thanks ^^ i'll try configuring it

it fixed my battlers, but i still can't find on how to configure skills to make the battlers charge at the enemy.. hmm...

btw is there a way i can use a party changer using FF7 CMS that is compatible with your script?

I'd warn you for quoting, but I can't because it's not against the rules (even though it's really annoying, and we know what you're talking about)
But I will warn you for double double-posting, because that is against the rules

Skills are also configured in the Animated Battlers script, more specifically in this part:

CODE

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # The first hash in each set  indicates the id number (be it skill, item or
  # otherwise, and the pose it brings up.   These mimic the 2nd array type in
  # the above Non-Default poses.   As such, a hash value of {1 => 10) for the
  # MNK_POSES_WEAPONS hash would make  the 'Bronze Sword' use the 10th index (or
  # 11th spritesheet) pose... aka the 'Defeat' pose.
  #
  # To define an advanced pose linked to a specific battler, the syntax is...
  #  = { battler.id => { item/skill.id => pose#  } }
  # ...so this gets  more complicated.   But this does allow  each battler to
  # have his or her own unique pose, regardless of spritesheet type.
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  MNK_POSES_CASTED     = {82 => 10}  # Set a specific skill to use a pose
  MNK_POSES_CASTED_A   = {}        
  MNK_POSES_CASTED_E   = {}
  MNK_POSES_STATUS     = {3 => 3}   # Set status values to poses here
  MNK_POSES_STAT_A     = {}  
  MNK_POSES_STAT_E     = {}
  MNK_POSES_SKILLS     = {57 => 7, 85 => 7, 86 => 7}  # Default: #57(Cross Cut) does 'Attack'
  MNK_POSES_SKILLS_A   = {}  
  MNK_POSES_SKILLS_E   = {}
  MNK_POSES_ITEMS      = {13 => 4}  # Default: #13(Sharp Stone) does 'Block'
  MNK_POSES_ITEMS_A    = {}        
  MNK_POSES_ITEMS_E    = {}        
  MNK_POSES_WEAPONS    = {}         # Didn't set any weapons to any poses
  MNK_POSES_WEAPS_A    = {}
  MNK_POSES_WEAPS_E    = {}         # Non-functional (Enemies don't use 'em.)

You need to read carefully the instructions for the Animated Battlers. It's a complex script and to be honest, I'm not that familiar with it either. I simply used it here.

I don't know which party changer you are using, and I don't see why there should be a problem with a CMS. Can you provide links to those scripts?

the script for my Party Line 1540: NoMethodError Occur
undefined method: '[]' for nil:NilClass

this is what my line 1540 has

I don't think it's a problem related to my script and I don't experience any error during testing. I believe you might have loaded a save file created before you've put the Party Changer in your game.
