Skill Leveling Script, Spend points to learn/raise a skill's level - ala Etrian Odyssey Options

[Garlyle]

WARNING
This setup may yet present further bugs, incompatabilities, etc. - It also is NOT optimized for customizability. (...yet)
Do NOT use this script with a Class Change script - class changing will allow for terrible game breakage by the player due to how the script adds skills.
Also, I'm NOT GIVING TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THIS SCRIPT ANYMORE.

Updates

v Verian (????) - Verian releases updated script
v0.2 (May 20 '09) - Fixed no sound for cursor movement (Replace Scene_SkillGrowth w/new ver.)
v0.1 (May 19 '09) - Initial Release

Skill Levelling Script (v 0.2)
By Garlyle and Verian

Once upon a time, I worked on RPG games. And for one, I wrote a single, powerful script.
It was basically a recreation of Etrian Odyssey's Custom system.
Each level, the character gains a Skill Point.
This skill point can be put in any of 16 skills.
One point lets a skill be used.
Further points update the skill to a higher level, up to 10
Resulting in characters who can be the same class, but with totally different skillsets!
You can also make skills require up to 3 other skills to be learned.

Verian's Version (Get and use this one; it doesn't lag a computer up as much and has added functionality)

Script
Consists of 6 scripts. As always, paste above MAIN. Putting 'em in out of order may cause issues.

Instructions for Use

Skill List/Tree:
1. Open Skill_Level_Info
2. Copy the basic layout. Use similar info. Do NOT delete a tag. The very first number in a "clump" of data is a CLASS ID #.
"name" (*) - Name of skill
"id" (*) - Skill ID Number of level 1 skill
"desc" (*) - Description of the skill
"req" / "req2" / "req3" - in format of (x => y), where "x" is the skill with the requirement, and "y" is the skill required. Use SLOT NUMBERS (0-15). Not required for skills with no pre-reqs. Only fill out req2/req3 if previous reqs are filled.
"reqlv" / "req2lv" / "req3lv" - in format of (x => y), where "x" is the skill with the requirement, and "y" is the level requirement of the prereq. skill (as determined in "req"). Use 1-10. Make sure to have a match here for each "req" used!
(*) MUST be filled for 0 - 15. Will crash if scene attempts to load up a class ID that isn't complete here.

Skill Database
1. Each skill's L1 version will be in the slot determined in "id" field (see above).
2. Skill levels 2-10 will be in following 9 skill IDs. Game will auto-replace a former ID version of skill with a new one upon level up.
EG: if "id" of Eye Poke is id #241, level 4 Eye Poke will be #244, and level 10 will be #250





Final Notes
I don't plan on updating its functionality much unless a lot of interest is garnered. The script is disturbingly simple, though. Editing Formulas/maximums is mostly in Redefine, actually.

If you plan to use this, please notify me. You can use it anyway, but I just wanna know. If you wanna upgrade this, DEFINITELY let me know.

Finally... I've never had anything I have created be distributed. ~10 years with RPGMaker (Since RM95 +_+!) and I've never 'finished' anything, but... here it is.

Whoa...awesome script! For a moment I thought it was exactly what I was looking for but it's not quite how I want skills to level up. Oh well, it's still awesome though! Nice work!

Well, tell me what you want. If its something similar, I might be able to do some modifications.

I think it's pretty different and rather difficult, I wanted skills to gain experience and level up through usage (a la Final Fantasy II). But you'd probably have to make a rank system for enemies as well so that they give off more exp to skills when they are used on them. In other words: it's a bit of a hassle to modify! X_x'

Yeah, that wouldn't be a "Modify" so much as a "completely new script" XD

[TalesOf_Fantasy]

great script dude! I''ve been looking something like this, thanks!

[Vegnaroth]

Pretty much! XP

[Michael]

This is great, I've seen one a like before.
Thank you.

[venjulienecorpuz]

I salute your scripting Skills good sir! This is a script that I am totally looking for in my Diablo II fan game!

You sir had just made my day! ^0^ Another person in my credit list ^0^. I'll even let you play my game once its done!

BUT my only complain is that when you are in the Skill Mastery Menu, the game lags a lot dividing 60 FPS into 10 which results in to 6.
Anyway, hope u will be updating this! Keep up the good work!

EDIT: How do I call the Skill Mastery Menu in an event? It gives me an error of "wrong number of arguments 0 for 1..."
I tried using "$scene = Scene_SkillGrowth.new" and gives me that kind of error.

Ouch! But I think I've seen that myself. I'm not sure why it happens - someone with more scripting knowledge than me might know. I have a suspicion, but... I'm really not sure.

EDIT: How do I call the Skill Mastery Menu in an event? It gives me an error of "wrong number of arguments 0 for 1..."

The script wants a parameter for which Actor ID to call it for. So, to call it for Hero ID #1, try

CODE

$scene = Scene_SkillGrowth.new(1)

n.n~ Thanks. Be sure to keep me updated!

No problem. If you use it, lemme know!

[venjulienecorpuz]

When you select on what skills you want to upgrade, there is no SE. And the cursor doesn't blink as well. Are you going to update that?
And also that lag when you go to the Skill Mastery menu... its not too noticeable, but when you open up the FPS window, you'll know that it freakin lags...xD

[Garlyle]

1. Never noticed XD Shouldn't be too hard. Going to fix now - just replace Scene_SkillGrowth
2. I had to custom-rewrite the selection process for the window as is. Unless someone else can figure out what I did wrong, no blinking D: Sorry.

[venjulienecorpuz]

Hmm no blinking script fix? D: oh well... it sounds better now that it has sounds... (D'uh >.>)
Also, Are you going to make a demo for this as well? I still don't really get how the skill upgrade works... is there a part here that when it reaches to a certain level, the skill ID changes to another ID? Well you kinda stated it in your 1st post but not sure if THAT's the meaning of it.

EDIT: LOL nevermind... I get it now... every levelup the skill goes to another ID...

Example... Bash LV1 which is ID#1 and add a point turns it to Bash LV2 which is ID #2... wow... just wow... +_+

EDIT #2: How about placing the proper graphic Icons of the Skill beside the Skill names?

if you wouldnt mind when you get the chance it would be nice to see a demo.... i look forward to it actualy

[venjulienecorpuz]

Wee! Looks like many people are liking the system! >(^__^)>

Yeah. Just be aware that this can lead to a LOT of "argh annoying copypaste". A more refined version of this would allow you to put formulae in the notes field for increased level changes - but I'm not good enough to even know how to pay attention to Notes, nor do I particularly want to spend the time that it would take. And I KNOW I didn't use the right Jargon for it. Plus, script incompatibility would increase massively, I fear

EDIT #2: How about placing the proper graphic Icons of the Skill beside the Skill names?

If someone can give me a simple code to get a skill's icon by passing it an ID, will do.

D:
Well, I might be able to. I have a half-finished pile of sh abandoned game project I could (re)use, mostly on the basis that it already has four sets of skills in the database (The two seen, plus Archer and Champion). Don't expect it too soon - I might do a good chunk tomorrow, but then I'm out of town for a few days.

[venjulienecorpuz]

Oh... It reminded me of something... since Etrian Odyssey has this feature, I think I'll go play it as well...xD

[baikanp]

Great work!

But I really need some Demo which includes these features...


1. working script in game (I found just to copy & paste scripts above accurs syntex errors)
2. working skill sets in game
3. use case with KGC's Custom Menu Command Script!!


I think it will make your script even more perfect and more easy to use.

Anyway, thank you for your excellent script!!

and sorry for my bad English

(My english is very bad because I only speak spanish)

Great work ^^

I wonder if there's any way to reset the skills and skills points of an actor.

[AddictX360]

I tryed to install the script but first it said the problem was [/code] but I fixed that when I made it [skill/code] but the problem is the end at the VERY end so it's the last one on there. One not even in the script but I cannot solve that one...

Does anyone know what I have to do?

(I'm a noob at scripting)
