Version 0.6.03
Author Lordheinrich
Release Date 09/10/2010
Last Update 09/18/2010

Exclusive Script at RPG RPG Revolution


Introduction
This script makes it so that equipment (weapons and armors) can gain levels. Equips are basically set up like actors in that they gain experience in battle, level up, gain stat bonuses, etc... This is a rather large script and is still incomplete, however complete enough post for feedback, feature requests, and such. I don't know if I can test all features of the script myself, do please post report any bugs.

Features
- Experience System
- Leveling System with stat bonuses
- Script calls and note tags for customization
- Equip Status Scene accessible from Scene Item
- All Equips are unique, i.e., only the ones equipped gained experience, ex: you can have a lvl 1 short sword, a lvl 2, etc...
- Ability to randomize Experience earned
- Ability to randomize Experience needed for Equips to level up
- Progress Bars for EXP and Levels
- Equip Skill System based on EXP gained, Battles and Enemies Killed
** Skills learned either by Weapon EXP, Armor EXP, Total Battles, Enemies Killed or any combination of the FOUR
- Color Coded Equips
** Different colors based on whether level is max, cannot level, or level disabled
-----------------------------------------------
Planned:
- Equip Skill System (in progress)
** Based on either level or EXP (maybe stats) << Will probably scrap level as that method is broken, same for stats...
** Based on Battles and Kills (completed)
- Percent Based Equips
** Equips can raise stats by set number, percent or both
- Equip Price based on Level/Stats
-----------------------------------------------
Please suggest additional features
