Have you checked the script's demo for some? I haven't checked but there might be some examples there.

I have a question involving your ABS...when you tint the screen does the stats menu n stuff in the upper left also tint with the screen?

I'm not entirely sure. Most likely it would not since I'm thinking that the HUD acts as an overlay to the map. But, if it doesn't act like an overlay then that must mean that the HUD will also tint when you use the Screen Tint command in XP.

You should give it a try and see what's going to happen.

I'm back now. I'll release 1.9 in a couple of days and you're not the first one who couldn't figure out how to make the skills and so on work properly. That's why I will edit those parts of the manual and explain it better. BTW, did you try the example game yet? Many people were able to figure it out that way. If you can't wait for the next release, I suggest you just try it. :3

Is there any way to turn the Blizz-ABS caterpillar system into a Secret of Mana style system, where other party members fight independently? Is that what the whole FFXII gambit question above was about? Sorry for the redundance if it is.

[Blizzard]

Yeah. As I said, I didn't have time to code the ally AI yet. The next release will be 1.9 with the new battle AI for enemies and after that comes 2.0 with a new ally AI based on the same battle AI. You won't believe it most probably, but while making the new battle AI I was often thinking about how the werewolf enemies would act. :3 In the end though, it turned out to be better. I'll post 1.9 as soon as I can.

[revanda]

is it just me or does the links to the script send you to a almost completly blank page?

[jens009]

It shouldn't.

Try the following:
1) http://www.rpgrevolution.com/script/36/
or
2) Go to the main site and click on Scripts. Search Blizz-ABS under Ruby Game Scripting System (RGSS) Scripts.

[Blizzard]

Or download directly:

thx for the reply and the direct link.
It seems like my webbrowser (Opera) doesn't load any thing below this part. (or on any page like this one)

No problem.

That's actually weird, I'm using Opera as well and it works fine. It's version 9.02 if I'm not wrong. Higher versions were bugging on me, so I kept using 9.02. >_>

Hey,

I am working with BLIZZ-ABS, and I am trying to have my playable character make a swinging sound when he or she attacks, and a hit/thwack sound when it connects. Anyone know how I can do this?


I can find a way to attach a sound to an action, but I am trying to make a different sound when it connects and hits the enemy.
thx

[Blizzard]

Well, you can put a swinging sound into the animation of the weapon without any images and a hitting sound in the attack animation. The swinging sound will still be heard, but IMO it should be heard. Have you tried the example game yet? It might help you understand a few more things.

Yup, I figured it out! Thanks Blizz

ABS is not compatible with Swimming script!

I m writing as i need report a issue in the compatibility, between Blizzard ABS version 1.89 and Swimming Script version 1.8

(Swimming Script is just a small Custom Script created by another player and i downloaded it before ASD and its great one! Its HIGHLY recomended for your games, as well as the ABS!

If i use both the Swimming and ABS scripts in my game. ABS still works nice both with Swimming and without it. But Swimming not works if ABS installed and seems to be "dead" and i can't swim on water tiles that are tagged with the Water terrain ID.

Can you Blizzard to fix the ABS compatibility issue with Swimming? Or make a new section for guiding us on how to make those scripts to run without problems in same game? NOTE: my game is clear, just only 2 scripts installed: Swimming and ABS.

Swimming script is very important for most games, like the Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy series. It adds Water Terrain Type ID (Terrain Tag), and makes the character's sprites to change with the ones for swimming when character walks on tiles with the "Water" terrain ID, and returning to non-swimming sprites soon as he leaves water.

Only if we can fix the ABS compatibility with that Swimming or find the issue and tell us to do the fixing ourselves, we will be very thankfully.

The game will not be good game without the 1 of the 2 scripts. Swimming and ABS are both needed in most games. glad to see no posts from other players for that issue, as i know many players are making Zelda-like games, as me.

An idea: (its noob idea but i tried it in a hope to fix the compatibility issue of Swimming):
I tried to put No-EnemySpawn terrain ID (of ABS) in same ID with the Water Terrain one (ID 1 by default) so i not fight on water. But Swimming still not works at all.

Last note: Swimming still not works even if ABS has all it's options to default like soon as it installed (when some features are disabled).




This link shows you where you can find the Swimming script's post in www.rmxp.org:

Thanks for reporting. Yeah, I actually can't see any reason why it should be compatible. I'll take a look at the swimming script and see if it's easier to make it compatible or if it's easier to simply implement the swimming feature into the ABS itself.

Quick comment,

Firstly, I noticed that, if you set CATERPILLAR = False, then when you press whatever button switches Party Leaders, everything goes capooey. I guess you may have already fixed this, and I'm just doing something wrong.

I know very little about RGSS, but could I just put something along the lines of 'If CATERPILLAR = True then SELECT = "[Let['WHATEVER']]" ELSE If CATERPILLAR = False then SELECT = "['']"'?

Also, I was wondering if there was any simple way to make the mini-map its own script. Like I said though, I know close to nothing about scripting, so I'm asking more along the lines of would there be a simple way to do it, not absolutely "How do I...?"

I think the system's great as a whole. I can't wait to see the Ally AI updates.


P.S. woohoofirstpost

[Blizzard]

Well, I have a simplified version of the minimap in my Tons of Add-ons, but I didn't have time to upgrade that one yet, so it looks nice as the one in Blizz-ABS. And yeah, I know that there is a problem with the Caterpillar. I haven't fixed that in 1.89 I think, but I will see if I can fix it in 1.9.

[deathbymoogles]

Thanks.

This script is awsome! However I would like know how to get allies to attack? Thanks in advance.
