Ok, I've traceroute'd it through our host, and scriptology.co.nr, scriptology.comoj.com and www.scriptology.comoj.com trace fine..

I've never even come across 81.46.42.113, so I think it's just your connection to the server...
Where do you live?

And can you connect to http://server22.000webhost.com/ at all?

This snippet basically inverts the dashing.. allowing you to dash only when 'disable dashing' is checked.
This way, normal maps disable dashing, but the ones you set to disable actually allow dashing..

It should be placed where you normally place the scripts ('above main', in the materials section of the scripts window)..

Yes i think is a node where i get through and you not. So the domain is fine, i've searched them through the library host and it works also the webhost.com. So it's my connection error. Keep on going

What do you (ppl who are interested) want to hear, see, learn from the podcast?


Thanks for the feedback.



Greatzz,
SojaBird.


I think we should have a few seperate 1's (RGSS2 only) 1 for ppl who don't have a clue how to even start a script (i.e ME), one for intermediates, who want to make a lot of their own scripts and know what they are doing with a simple script, and 1 for those leading up to be ultimate scripters (e.g YOU), these could be for...

ADVANCED menu's, options, on screen menu's (i.e the one's in WoW).

And the other two guides should be made together.

P.S.
[Show/Hide] ...A HIDDEN PREZIE...
OR A NASTY SUPRISE?...
YOU ARE PROBABLY THE WORLD'S BEST RGSS2 SCRIPTER!

Hey there,

Whoo that's some nice feedback you just gave me (especialy the hidden prize biggrin.gif ).
Thanks you want to help.
This is realy doing me good, it actualy get's me back on the track smile.gif ...you just pulled me away from my starting-over-'WoW-addiction' biggrin.gif I thank you for that wink.gif .
Oke so I think that's a pretty neat idear.
What I'm going to do the next couple of days (I try not to tuch WoW for a while), is making clear the basics of this whole operation.
I'll be making banner (for Woratana's site) and the roots of the whole concept.
(Oh and not to forgot, the "final" version of the player.)

Oke well that's a fast update so far.
I hope to get that up soon smile.gif I'll be sharing it with all ya guys (and gurlz).


Greatzz,
SojaBird.



PS. And thanks again for the reminder JJJ wink.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 ;)

Hey Dusk,

First awnser:
Video's will be the most things I'll be making.
Though I also think off a kinda demo site where people can see what they'll be able to make when they finish the html tutorials. This site is made in the tutorials so that people can actualy see and get the info created in the tuts online working.

Second awnser:
Actualy I made that list to know how many people were 'supporting' this idear. How many people think it's a good idear. Actualy it was not realy my meaning to coöperate or something, though the coöperation with AmIMeYet does is usefull. I think I just used the wrong word for the list biggrin.gif

Ok, no written tutorials then. Just Interactive and colorful viedos with messages in capital and rainbow colored letters and the voice of Heidi explaining it to make the video interesting. But if i make one, how can i submit it?

PS: if that list is for the ones who want this to be real, you can count me in.

Hey Dusk again smile.gif

First I've removed the list, since it's sertain that I'll be going to do this smile.gif
Perhaps there will be written tuts, and if they're very good or need some extra explanation, I can video it as well smile.gif
Though, if you want a tutorial on the site, you can just mail it 2 me and I'll be posting it smile.gif
I also am going to try to use a external xml file for the tuts and news so that the main site is clean smile.gif

Hope you like it wink.gif

Hey all,

A small and fast (and late (see postingtime)) update.
I've included the player to the site (check www.scriptology.co.nr > Podcast).
It doesn't works perfectly (with the buffer and all), but it's ready to get some tutorials in it smile.gif

So I hope to be filling the site with content soon as well.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Ah, just hang in there! wink.gif

I know it's taking a really long time, but Pim's a really busy man.

PS: If we're discussing programming languages here: PHP just isn't my choise..
Sure, it can be used as internet pages, but I really like actionscript (especially in Flex [google that..]) (also great in combination with PHP by the way), and ofcourse Ruby, for it's simplicity. And then ofcourse Visual Basic.. that's pretty nifty.. though it's a shame it require's .NET.. (though almost every Vista pc has that..)
Also, I have to upload the PHP files to my host to test them, wich isn't really an enjoyable process wink.gif
I wanted to learn up on php tough, because somehow, today my MySQL databases for a scriptology tutorial submission site got deleted.. so I was thinking of making a submission process of my own..
But now, I'm thinking of making this in Flex, and using PHP to connect to the MySQL DB.

PPS: Wow, I can't believe how long this post got tongue.gif

Hey hey,

So I've just learned that I will be teached how to use Joomla in my next part of my studie year.
Joomla is a database kinda opensource website system wich we actualy allready planned to use (in test fase atm).
So that should be nice as well.
Anyway, as my partner AmIMeYet allready said, I'm very bussy and its hard for me to have room to make this.
But I'm realy excited about it just as all of you, so don't be afrain, it'll come, I asure you that wink.gif

So sorry once again.
Don't give up your fait, just believe wink.gif


Greatzz,

Yesss!!! I've been trying to make games with RPG Maker for like 3 years now, but I constantly get discouraged because I can't make them how I want to without knowing how to script. I have been trying to learn to script off an on for the past couple months, but it explodes a mere mortal's brain. To be honest I feel like I haven't learned anything. Maybe I will finally be able to learn because of this. I'm looking forward to this a lot!!

I can't contribute but I can sure tell you what I personally would like to learn/see:

1) I'd like to see your site have an easy upload feature so anyone that is good at scripting can quickly and conveniently contribute their own help videos and text to one of several specified teaching categories. I have absolutely no doubt that you alone will provide a lot of useful information, but imagine if the other good scripters out there had a quick and easy upload tool...there would be a lot more help for newbcakes like me tongue.gif

2) RGSS2 first and foremost. I honestly don't care much about the other stuff. Maybe ActionScript.

3) I'd really like to learn what the default RMVX scripts mean - what does what in the program's default code. For instance, let's say I want to make a special character select screen with a script. Well to a beginner like me, I don't even know what part of the default code in RMVX controls the stuff that I need to modify. In my opinion, teaching the default code would go a LONG way toward helping everyone interested in writing scripts for RGSS2, and would at the same time teach them about the ruby language in general. So maybe one category of the site could be devoted to teaching default code and why it exists, what it governs, and how to modify it.

4) First off, I'd like to understand the step by step process in general terms of how to create a script specifically with RGSS2 in mind. One thing I can't seem to understand is if there is any general layout to follow, or if it's so complicated that there IS no general layout, and every script has a completely different "skeleton", if you will. Perhaps just create a really basic script and explain line by line why you're writing that line, and what it means, and why you have to do it. So maybe one category of the site could be called "Hands-On" where people actually create various simple scripts during the video and teach people why they're doing each thing.

5) Let's say I was someone else who actually halfway knew what the heck I was doing. I'm sure I'd be interested in somewhat more advanced topics like how to make your scripts compatible with other scripts and know where to put your scripts in the Script Editor in terms of order with other scripts.

Well, that's pretty much it. I don't know what an already advanced person would need to know, so I can't help you there! But seriously, best of luck to you! I'm really excited to see this!

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.

Hey all,

So the reason of this dubble post is because of a...


So I've updated the site a little and it allready got some news ohmy.gif hehe jeeh!
Well actualy it's not realy that usefull news (it will be deleted in some time).
Anyway, the look have been changed a little and also the code's below have been changes to JavaScript based (wrote it myself biggrin.gif *thumbs up to self*).
So now it's going to be very easy to add video's, news, banners and all by simply adding some things to a so called XML-file.

Well that's it for now.
Hope to have your trust back a little again after this update wink.gif


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Glad to help Sojabird smile.gif but I have a feeling that me telling you those things will pale in comparison to how much I'm gonna learn from you guys, lol. I thought of something else I wouldn't mind learning last night too, but I can't remember what it was now..perhaps I'll remember it soon...

EDIT: Just remembered..It's a more advanced topic. Ok so, you see scripts that are more basic and you kind of just copy and paste them and they work without the user changing anything, then you see scripts where people have made them to where they're highly configurable by the user. For a beginner, i.e. me, this is way too advanced, but for someone who is starting to learn how to make basic scripts, I'm sure they'd want to know how to make their scripts configurable for other people.

Hey hey again smile.gif

Sure that's a nice topic to do as well.
It's very usefull of you to say that the configurable thing isn't basic at all.
Cause you know, I actualy thought that it was smile.gif
Perhaps it is but ya think it's not but that's just something we'll see by then.
Anyway, I'll put it on the list.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.
