Advanced Crafting System (ACS)

Version: 2.21
Author: Cmpsr2000
Release Date: June 5 2008

Introduction

ACS is a system that allows the player to craft weapons, items, and armor from other weapons, items and armor.

Features

• Craft any item in your DB from any combination of items using recipes YOU define.
• Instantly see how a crafted weapon or armor will affect the actors you have discovered.
• Recipes automatically unlock when a single ingredient is discovered, or when forced to unlock by a script call in an event.
• Up to 9 ingredients per recipe.
• Unlimited number of recipes!
• Set difficulty levels for each recipe (up to 10!)
• Recipe's are not craftable if the party's average spirit (intelligence) required for the difficulty level has not been reached or if the party does not have all the ingredients.
• Critical successes can generate different items or more of the original item.
• Set a base critical success for each recipe. The party gets a bonus percent for each interval of spirit (intelligence) above the required amount for that recipe.
• New in version 2.0!
  
  • Recipe unlock behavior can now be customized.
  • Recipes can now rely on any stat for requirements and criticals.
  • Bonus intervals of the critical stat can be customized per recipe.
  • Recipes can now be categorized.
  • Categories can be hidden or expanded in the crafting interface. This behavior can be customized or disabled!
  • Recipe's of the same category can now require tools for crafting.
  • A detail window can now be accessed from the crafting interface by holding down a button. (Y, for the demo)
  • The information displayed in the detail window can be customized.
  • Customization added for including/excluding the crafting option in the menu.

Customization

Customize the name of the crafting system and sound effect played for criticals in Redefinitions:

CODE

module Vocab
def self.crafting
#change this term if you want to call crafting something else in your game
return "Crafting"
end
end

module Sound
#play critical success. change the SE if you want a different one
def self.play_critical
Audio.se_play("Audio/SE/Chime2", 100, 100)
end
end

Recipes are defined in the recipes.txt file in the /data/ folder of your game. Format instructions are in Game_Crafting:

CODE

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# returns a new Recipe object. the recpies.txt file should have data in the
# following format:
#
# name: Name of the item being created
# itemType: 0 for item, 1 for weapon, 2 for armor. The normal
# and critical form MUST be the same item type!
# numOfIngs: number of different ingredients from 1 to 9
# ingreds 01..2999: the item indexes of the ingredients. the first
# character determines the item type for each
# ingredient. 0 for item, 1 for weapon, 2 for armor
# amounts 1..999: amount of each ingredient
# normalItem: index of item created on normal success
# normalAmount: amount of normal item created on success
# criticalItem: item created from a critical success
# critAmount: amount of crit item created
# critChance: chance to crit (out of 100)
# difficulty: integer 0 to 9 where 0 is easiest and 9 is hardest
# bonusStat: The statistic that will be used to calculate the
# bonus critical chance. 0 for attack, 1 for defense,
# 2 for spirit, 3 for agility.
# bonusInterval: The amount of the bonus stat it takes to get a 1%
# higher critical chance
# category: The type of crafting (smithing, woodworking, etc.)
# As an integer from 0 to 9!
#
# The file allows for empty lines and comments using '#' to start a line
# Here's some example lines from the file:
#
# #Leather Working
# Rough_Leather 0 1 0204 2 205 1 205 3 10 0 2 10 1
#
# NOTE: whitespace in the name must be replaced with underscores!!!
#
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game_Crafting also contains the customization area for the stat thresholds for difficulty levels:

CODE

def initDifficulties
@atkThresholds = [25, 40, 55, 70, 85, 100, 115, 130, 145, 160]
@defThresholds = [25, 40, 55, 70, 85, 100, 115, 130, 145, 160]
@spiThresholds = [25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250]
@agiThresholds = [25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250]
end

In the Window_Crafting_Status, you can customize the icon indexes of the icons you wish to use to indicate normal, increased, or decreased stats. Each set of 4 icons (up, down, same) need to be adjacent to each other in the iconset:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Change these if you need to use different attribute up/down icons
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@atkIconUp = 1916
@atkIconDown = 1932
@atkIconSame = 1948
@defIconUp = 1917
@defIconDown = 1933
@defIconSame = 1949
@spiIconUp = 1918
@spiIconDown = 1934
@spiIconSame = 1950
@agiIconUp = 1919
@agiIconDown = 1935
@agiIconSame = 1951

New in 2.0!
Category customization is in Game_Crafting

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Type in the names of your crafting categories here. As you can see, you
# are not required to use all 10 spaces! Just make sure to have a comma
# after the quotations for every item EXCEPT the last.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@categoryLabels = [ #Category 0
"Tailoring",

#Category 1
"Leatherworking",

#Category 2
"Alchemy",

#Category 3
"Smithing",

#Category 4
"Weaponsmithing",

#Category 5
"Armorsmithing",

#Category 6
"Woodworking",

#Category 7
"Jewelsmithing"

#Category 8
#Category 9
]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Each number refers to the RPG::Item index of the required tool. You
# should have the same number of categories here as you did above!
# Make sure there is a comma after every bracket pair [] EXCEPT the last!
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@requiredTools = [ #Category 0
[196],

#Category 1
[196, 197],

#Category 2
[190, 191],

#Category 3
[194, 195],

#Category 4
[194, 195],

#Category 5
[194, 195],

#Category 6
[198],

#Category 7
[192, 193]

#Category 8
#Category 9
]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is the text that appears in the help box of the crafting menu
# when hovering over a category label. Same rule for commas!
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@categoryText = [ #Category 0
"Makes clothing and cloth armor.",

#Category 1
"Treats hides and stitches medium armor.",

#Category 2
"Brews potions and other useful substances.",

#Category 3
"Forges ingots and casts small parts.",

#Category 4
"Sculpts all manner of metal weapons.",

#Category 5
"Hammers together strong metal armors.",

#Category 6
"Mills raw wood and carves wooden weapons.",

#Category 7
"Polishes stones and sets jems."

#Category 8
#Category 9
]

The names for each stat that are displayed in the detail window can be modified in Game_Crafting:

CODE

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Returns the name of the statistic being requested
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def statName(stat)
case stat
when 0
return "Attack"
when 1
return "Defense"
when 2
return "Intelligence"
when 3
return "Agility"
end
end

Turn off the crafting menu item in redefinitions:

CODE

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set this to true if you want to disable the "crafting" entry in the menu
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
@disableMenuChoice = false

Massive amounts of recipe behavior customization are available in Recipe.

CODE

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Recipe behavior customization starts here.
#
# @allowDiscoveryByItems: Allows recipes to be discovered when
# ingredients of the recipe have been found
# @requireAllItems: Requires all items of a recipe to be found
# before the recipe will be revealed.
# @allowStatBonuses: Allows bonus critical chance from the party's
# current stats.
# @requireStatThreshold: Requires an amount of the bonus stat in order
# to craft the item.
# @requireTools: Requires the presence of crafting tools to
# make an item.
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
@allowDiscoveryByItems = true
@requireAllItems = false
@allowStatBonuses = true
@requireStatThreshold = true
@requireTools = true

You can change the button that shows the detail window in Scene_Crafting:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you don't like getting details from pressing y, change this to another
# button.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@detailButton = Input::Y

The recipe window has several new options with the creation of categories. You can modify them in Window_Crafting_Recipes:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Icon indexes for the show/hide toggle for recipe categories
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@showIcon = 1807
@hideIcon = 1806

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Change this to false if you do not wish for the game to remember
# whether a category was show or hidden the last time the player used the
# crafting interface
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@rememberCategoryStates = true

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you do not want to remember category states, then a default state is
# chosen when the crafting menu is launched. Change this to true if you wish
# to launch the menu with categories expanded.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@defaultShowState = false

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Change this to false if you would like to disable sorting by category
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@usingCategories = true

Finaly, to customize the contents of the detail window, modify these entries in Window_Crafting_Details

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# These variables control whether or not to display different sections of
# The detail window. In this way, you can limit the information the player
# has about the mechanisms of the crafting system.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@drawResults = true
@drawTools = true
@drawIngredients = true
@drawStatInfo = true

Compatibility

Requires RGSS2. Redefines Game_Actors, Scene_Menu, Scene_Title and Scene_File.

New in v2.0!

DEMO

Right Here!

Installation

Copy the script files into your game under the materials section.

Todo List:

1. Move some customization options so they are all in Game_Crafting

FAQ

Q: How do I call the crafting system from an event instead of the menu?
A: Use the script function to call: $scene = Scene_Crafting.new

Q: I keep getting this error when i try and start the game :

Script 'Recipe' Line 48: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method 'name' for nil:NilClass

A: You must define an item in your database for EACH item ID in your recipes.txt file.

Q: I added an item to my recipes.txt file, but it doesn't show in my game and the game crashes when I .discover my new item OR I changed an option in $game_crafting but the change doesn't show up in my game.
A: You are most likely loading from a save file. This loads the OLD recipe list and $game_crafting settings from when you saved. When you make a change to recipes.txt or $game_crafting you MUST start a new game to see your changes.

Terms and Conditions

Feel free to use this in your game, but please give me a shout in the credits! Also, feel free to edit this for your own personal purposes but please do not repost an edited version without my consent first.

Thanks ^^/

Also, mad props to whoever threw together the original icon set I worked from. (DLed it from the resource section before the site went down and I can't remember who made the file!)

[YanXie]

cheers,puppeto4.

[woratana]

I've tried the demo.

Very nice script

[DestinMancer]

Do you think that you may be able to use a Call Script instead of accessing it from he menu(I'm using the KGC Custom Menu Command)?

[YanXie]

Use this to call the crafting scene from script event command :

CODE

$scene = Scene_Crafting.new

( ¯3¯)

Yes, you're right, I'll update some of the formating and add screen shots! And thank you for answering Destin's question while I was away from the board ^^

[DestinMancer]

Hate to bother you but how do I prevent Crafting from appearing in the menu?

[YanXie]

Remove these lines from the "Redefinition" script part :

CODE

class Scene_Menu < Scene_Base
  
  alias oldCmdWindow create_command_window
  def create_command_window
    s1 = Vocab::item
    s2 = Vocab::skill
    s3 = Vocab::equip
    s4 = Vocab::status
    s5 = Vocab::crafting
    s6 = Vocab::save
    s7 = Vocab::game_end
    @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7])
    @command_window.index = @menu_index
    if $game_party.members.size == 0          # If number of party members is 0
      @command_window.draw_item(0, false)     # Disable item
      @command_window.draw_item(1, false)     # Disable skill
      @command_window.draw_item(2, false)     # Disable equipment
      @command_window.draw_item(3, false)     # Disable status
    end
    if $game_system.save_disabled             # If save is forbidden
      @command_window.draw_item(4, false)     # Disable save
    end
  end
  
  alias oldUpdCmdSel update_command_selection
  def update_command_selection
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      Sound.play_cancel
      $scene = Scene_Map.new
    elsif Input.trigger?(Input::C)
      if $game_party.members.size == 0 and @command_window.index < 4
        Sound.play_buzzer
        return
      elsif $game_system.save_disabled and @command_window.index == 4
        Sound.play_buzzer
        return
      end
      Sound.play_decision
      case @command_window.index
      when 0      # Item
        $scene = Scene_Item.new
      when 1,2,3  # Skill, equipment, status
        start_actor_selection
      when 4      # Crafting window
        $scene = Scene_Crafting.new
      when 5      #save
        $scene = Scene_File.new(true, false, false)
      when 6      # End Game
        $scene = Scene_End.new
      end
    end
  end
end

[ERZENGEL]

Woow... this is a very long script but a nice one too. I'm looking forward to more scripts done by you

[cmpsr2000]

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words ^^

Yes, do what puppet said. The next version will have a customization option for this to make it a simple change.

[neclords]

Very nice script!

btw, can this script craft skill, then hero can learn the skill direct?
it isn't using scroll or whatever...

well, you could easily craft an item that would bestow a skill upon activation, but there is no built in support for crafting "skill" objects themselves. I'll take a stab at it in one of the later versions.

[Ziosin]

It looks very, very nice. I will probably have a spot in my game for this, if you don't mind

[cmpsr2000]

Yes, please use it! I wrote this for everyone. Just give me a shout in the credits and it's all good

[anna_strife]

Wonderful!!! This is the hell i was searching for! Thanks!!! Arigato!!! Terima kasih!!! Sie Sie!!!

[oblivionator]

EDIT: I have already downloaded it. Very good script indeed!

How do you set it up so that it will not automatically learn a recipe from gaining a required ingredient, but instead only unlocks when I say so?
