Hi there!
I'm new to rpg maker vx and scripting overall.
I tried your awesome script and it was easy to begin with but i have a little problem.
Here, let me demonstrate:
(check the attachment)

It rewards me the points but at the same time it doesn't.
I just used a simple event script that goes like this: (i think i've missed something really important )



Could someone please instruct me how to overcome this obstacle :/
Thank you very much!

Hey there!

Great you gonna use the script and also think that it's awsome.
I'm also glad to know it was easy for you.
Now for the problem you got...
The point's display in the scene just shows you how many points the achievement is worth.
Though rewarding the player those points happens when the achievement is completed.
Now it seems that you made the achievement complete before you set the points, wich meens the point's aren't given since it isn't defined at that specific point in time.
So what you should change is; switch your 2nd and 3th line .
This'll solve the problem.
Though it's also a learning moment for me, cause it does shows me a little improvement that can be done (cause making a new achievement wich would allready be completed, can't also reward money or items etc).

So thanks the for the feedback and info.
Let's hope it makes it a bit more clear for you now


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Thank you very much SojaBird!
You sir deserve a medal

Haha well thanks

Oke so for the update, I didn't realy got far today.
So still a lot of work to do.
I did made this new vid.
Check it out while you wait: Jet Flyer


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

hows it comming? im looking forward to it =] cant wait...... got n e more funny school projects?lol...n wat u think of BioShock's ending...lol thx 4 all the hardwork...

Hey,

Well it's not comming that quick really.
I'm realy stressed and very buzy with school.
No new projects yet haha

Bioshock 1 ending... I found that, well it was pretty nice at first.
Though after I played BS2 I was stunned about that one.
Loved BS2 so much to bad about the sucky MP though.
DLC... I think that fails to release it now already.

What do you think about it? About the DLC?


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Hey your script is amazing =] I'm using it right now with no problems, but I'm also no script writer.... I dont want to alter anything that could make my brain explode lol

I would like to inquire but a few things that peeked my interest while coming up with some achievements ["medals" in my game] to have in my game:

I noted that the text scrolls from bottom to top. i looked at the script in more detail and saw:
# normal/up/down

Im assuming that controls how the alert box scrolls... I liked the "down" effect when it scrolls from the top of the screen. However, i would like for the alerts to "hang/pop-up" from the top/bottom of the screen rather than continue scrolling. Is there a way I can safely alter this?

~Anon4907

Hey hey

Great you have it working prefectly
What you want edit is the Alert_Display and set it to "normal".
In this way they'll pop up at the top (where is space) and go away after the set Time_Span_Text in seconds.


Enjoy and greatzz,
SojaBird.

It worked to perfection!!

Thanks a bunch!

hey hows it going? i haven't heard much about the DLC, I liked the game and i can't wait for Tuesday!!! Final Fantasy XIII comes out and i wont be going anywhere...lol... hope you can get the update out soon...thx....o.0 n r u getting FFXIII???

Hey,

I'm pretty stressed and buzy at the moment with school projects and video and website building.
Perhaps I get some little time free soon, though I'm not sure if I am going to "spent" it on scripting again (sorry for that).
I got a bunch of games I haven't played yet after buying so I might do that more quickly.

Is is the DLC of Bioshock2 what you're talking about?
I only know it's going to be some extra things on the multiplayer.
I haven't played a lot of Bioshock2 multiplayer yet, perhaps in some time.
Though I don't think I'll be getting the DLC when it's released.

So I also hope I can update this soon.
I realy like the script myself as well!

I'm not realy in to Final Fantasy, haven't played a single one yet actualy.
So nop I won't get FFXIII


Anyway, I find it pretty awsome that people are interested in other people's intersts (most about games, but that's also why we're here after all ).
I don't mind talking about that

Anyway, keep a sharp eye (as usual) on the topic.
I'll post when I've got some news for you (all)



Greatzz,
SojaBird.

coo...FFXIII is a great game with awesome graphics and a well told story in my opinion, it came out on march 9th and i have close to 100 hours if not more in total playing time, not including the times where i have fallen asleep late at night...lol

well let us know...im still looking forward to the update.. o.0.. (>")>_thx_<("<)

Hello!!!

Whoohoo, hell yea.
I just finished printing and burning all my stuff for school.
Tomorrow I'll have to get there 1 more time to hand it all over, then I'll have some more time again

So expect something perhaps soon.
Also, my final piece of video I made for school is posted on my YouTube channel, check it out if you want [link].


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

@SojaBird
I am somewhat annoyed about when you make a script you put a link that says 'Download Script', and because my hardrive has enough junk on it, I would be happier if you put the script in your post as text, not a download link.
Just a suggestion,
thank you in advance,
-Emp-groove

PS: I don't mean to be rude, i'm just frustrated.

Hey Emp-groove,

I get your frustration though sight an behold!!
Try the download link
When you click the link you'll be rederected to the file wich is a .txt file.
You'll just get the .txt file in your browserwindow so all you have to do from there is CTRL+A > CTRL+C and you have the whole script on your clipboard.
Next go to your rpgmvx and open the script window, press insert below materials and click inside the freshly made clear window.
Then CTRL+V and you got the script without any new junk on your harddrive.
Though I have to say, your project file will grow in size, so "downloading" (rightclick > save as...) isn't more space consuming as the way I just told you.

Anyway, just click the link and it'll open the .txt file in a new window/tab (it works for me, I use IE).
If you're not sure if you get the right think, rightclick and do a "open in new window/tab", see if that works.

If that does not work and for some crazy reason YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT TO YOUR HARDDRIVE pop-up comes up...save the file (wich is less that 1MB) to your desktop, open it, copy what's inside and remove the file again (SHIFT+DEL will remove it instantly instead of putting it in your trashbin).

Hope that helped ya out and took a way some frustration.
If not...well, I'm not going to put the script in code tags, since I want only want to enable members to download my use my script so I can recieve feedback.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

K... I said 'junk on my hrd drive' because I move my finished games from C: to a disk (D:)
Thanks...

PS: I'm new here, so... can u help me out a bit? :...

Hey. No problem. Sure I can help around. Just let me know when need info or what so ever.

Greatzz,
SojaBird.

I'm not sure how to fix this, but when I put the script in my project, add the trophies etc, it all pops up when I click new game.

Example: When I click new game, it goes through the movie scenes nicely. But then when I actually start playing, all of the trophies pop up at once saying " ETC trophy has been found ". Is there any way to remove that from the script? I don't want it to say that they've been found, just that they've been completed.

Thanks.

EDIT: I found out how, I edited this line: which is at line 133, and changed the Display_StartUps = true to Display_StartUps = False

Hope this has helped anyone else that reads it!

Hey,

Yea I'll make a tutorial on how to configure the Achievement-script soon.
Hope that makes things more clear


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Hey, how do I add new items into the shop? And can you add skills to buy?

Hey kccarmea,

To add items to the shop, use this codeFor example Achief.new_buyable(5, "5points buy", "Spent 5 points on this buyable achievement.").
This'll add the achievement, named 5points buy to the list of the achievement-shop, wich costs 5 points.
It has no icon (since the default is 0, wich is empty).

Hope this helped, gonna make a tutorial on how to use it soon though.

About buying skills, that aint possible yet, though it's a nice feature I'd add in the next version (just as buying items/weapons with points).


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Yeah, buying and selling weapons and skills with points would be great. That is what I'm looking forward to.

How would you subtract points from a player?

Hi there. I am really liking this achievement script. A couple requests, or rather ideas if you will, for another update. One, to have a condition for how many battles you fight. So like you can have an achievement when you have fought 100 battles, then 1000, so on and so forth. Another idea, is if it would be possible to make a condition compatible with this script:

http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=22090

I was thinking maybe like have a condition for when a character learns a new attribute, or levels up an attribute completely.

Just some thoughts and ideas for you to consider. Thanks. In the meanwhile, this is a great script and I am having fun using it and creating some fun achievements.

@kccarmea
Douple post
Next update will get the feature.
Perhaps it'll come soon, since I've 1 week of from my study.
To subtract points, just add negative ones with the use of the (sorry, still undescribed) callscript function Achief.add_points(value).

@bazbroketail
Great you like it.
The option of the battle things, sure that can be done.
I'm not sure how the script you mentioned worked, though I could have a look at it, and make a seperate add-on script so you could let them work together.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

That would be awesome. I look forward to see what you add on in future :-)

@bazbroketail
That's good to know

I've actualy made a new script (Skin Changer) and I felt how enjoyable it was.
So I'll be working on this script realy realy soon again
I've also come up with a new awsome feature that I'd like to implent in a upcomming update (hopefully this one, but it could also become the one after that), wich is a progresbar for sertain achievements.
In this way it's even more easy to hold track of sertain things.
It also makes the script posible to be used as a quest-log (with use of the catagories that are comming up as well soon)


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Hey everyone.

So I actualy though I could keep you up to date on the latest progres of the script it's update.
Therefor I'll just copy a part of my script-update in progress in here.

What I'm going to show is actualy the list I'm following to update the script.

So every item with a + PLUS in front of it, is done.
The * STARS still have to be done.
Things inbetween (those things) are just some quick ideas of me how to do sertain features.

I hope to post the new version soon (perhaps as beta), so you can get back to work again with using this in a even more awsome way


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

ps. I also found this page and it made me think I even gonna make a add-on so it can support even more achievements based on my Factions script.

EDIT: I'll update the list while working

This is a great script very very useful, thanks alot, i was wondering do you require us to credit you for this script in credits?
Thanks

And thanks for liking it!

A quick and little, but exiting update!

Today I'll release the BETA of the new upcomming update, as celebration of my birthday
I'll add it in a couple of hours when I'm done working.
I might add this (the BETA update) tomorrow since it's my birthday today


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

mmm im not much of a coder... or a coder in any way, shape, or form. So i came across a little problem here...
"script "Achievements" Line 186: NoMethodError has occured. Private method ` gsub!' called for 71:fixnum."


name.gsub!(/\n/) {""}
description.gsub!(/\n/) {""}
if completed
hidden = false
hide_icon = false
end
return if !self.achievement(name).nil?
for index in 0..999
if $game_system.achievements[index].nil?
break $game_system.achievements[index] = Achievement.new(
name, description, icon, hidden, hide_icon, completed)
end
end
end

And my little codebox insert doesnt seem to want to work at the moment so sorry about that Dx
If you can tell me whats going on, thatd be nice

Hey there,

Yea so you've probably put some things in a achievement wrong.
I can imagen these things happen, since there's a lot that must be stated with the creation of new achievements.
Now for your problem, make sure your achievements are written correctly with the right interpuction-sings.
What I think that happend, is that you've forgotten to put a discription in somewhere.
Make sure you use strings for the name and description.

ExampleThis will create a new working achievement called Cooky Monster with a description saying Eat at least 1000 cookies and it has the icon with id 167.

So make sure you're using "..." these the correct way.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Mmm, no dice, i had it in there correct, but maybe im being stupid and putting it in the wrong place. Where should i be inserting this code?

Could you tell me what you've done and how you've added your achievements?
Perhaps just quote that part of the script...

I hope I can help you then.
If you're not sure how to use the script, look at the demo-project, I've added some tips and info there.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

ps. The script comes along pretty nice, items/weapons/armor now can be bought with points! (most recent status-update)

#-----------#
# Start-up: #
#-----------#
Start_Achievements = ["Test!", "Just Testing it.", 3]
#[Name, Description, Icon, Hidden, Hide_Icon, Completed]




Start_Buyables = [
#[Price, Name, Description, Icon]

]

Start_Conditions = ["Test!","switch(15),true"]
#[Name, Condition]



Start_Rewards = ["Test!","gold(300)"]
#[Name, Reward]



Start_Points = [
#[Name, Points]

]

end


Also, i would love to look at your Demo, it would help me more than anything, but winrar isnt playing nice with the unpacking so it isnt working and its kind of making me angry... -_-

EDIT: Well, i decided to delete te entire script, redownload it, and stuff it back in there with the exact same stuff (Yay copy and paste!) and now it works absolutely perfectly xD Don't know what was wrong, but its all good now, Thanks!

Hey,

It's nice you've got it working again.
I think it had something to do with you, not using the double array thing:Would have worked perhaps.

Anyways, not sure, just be happy you've got it working again

About the winrar thing... is it just your winrar or the demo-rarfile that screwed it up?

Enjoy and keep an eye out for the new version (you might have to replace the script again then )


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Its the demo, as soon as i figured out that your file was rar. i went out and grabbed it so i could open it really quick, but it didnt work out too well... when i open it with winrar, it gives me a few errors, none of which i really understand, except for one, i picked out "file is corrupt" out of it so...

And by the way, can you add multiple achievements at the start? And if so, how? Because i tried to and it only made the first one show up. Because i really don't feel like adding every single achievement as i go.

Hey IceMaverick,

So I've tried out the demo myself, but it seems to be working perfectly for me strangly...
To add multiple achievements at the start, just use this methode, but don't forget to leave the first [ and last ] in there!This way of putting items in, also works for the rest of the achievement-startups such as conditions, rewards, buyables, points etc.


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Yeah thats what i thought, i tried that before and got a couple syntax errors so i must have left something out... oh well, ill just toy around with it for a while, and mess with my winrar until it works with your demo.
Thanks for all the help, great script

Hey,

Yea well you could try to post the errors if you'd like.
Or just wait till the new update (or BETA) comes out to see if that fixes your thing.

You could also just past your whole configuration part of the script in a spoilered codebox


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

When I Start A New Game And Walk Over A Event Square It Gives Me The Error:

Script 'Scene_File' line 214: TypeError occurred.

no marshal_dump is defined for class Window_Achievement_Dislplay

So I Have To Wait Till The Whole Achievement List Disappears Before I Can Move...

I'm gonna look at it for you.
Can you perhaps explain or describe what kind of event it is where you're walking over when you get the error?
(It probabely has something to do with saving right).


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Just talking to people

Oke thanks...

I'm gonna see what I can do for you


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

ps. Don't pm me if you've posted a reaction here, I'll find it

Lol, Okay,
I Can Get It All To Work After Its Finished The Animation Thing On Screen, Just Not While Its Still Going

And Also, For The Script How Do You Get Rid Of The Starter Achievements?

Please don't double post, posts merged ~ Regashi

Allright I'll see what I can do for you.
To get rid of the start-achievements, just remove them from the script.
Or just wait till the next version.
I'll put a clean version as a script and the demo will have the examples in it.

Just a bit more waiting will do miracles


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

ps. Why Do All Your Words Start With Capital Letters Lol?

Because lower-case letters are ugly lol
I tryed removing the start achievements sections, but then it comes up with all these errors for lines being connected
to the start achievements and I can never fix so I end up giving up.

Make sure you keep this part in there
Or wait for the update (in about 1 week).


Greatzz,
SojaBird.

Great script SojaBird, Loving it!

But I wonder, can I make the "Complete achievement" just pop up in like top left corner instead of panning from bottom to top, and not show the "Found achievement"-message? Or did I perhaps miss that being explained when I looked through the previous pages? :/
