Marked

Since I have an exam in 2 hours, yeah... :D I'll move this topic to the RGSS Support forum. I also do intend on changing the way the scripts are displayed on the site. I could not get them to display well, so I decided to have them in external html files. The Ring Menu for example: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/scripts/rmxp/ring_menu.html

Hey Mellevon, welcome to the site. I assume by copying the scripts you mean one from the site which is an external script. Like this one for example: When you paste them into RMXP, if they go one line the program can read the script of course. Lines are there so humans can read and edit the scripts more easily. Of course a script would not run properly on one line because of all the comments made. As soon as a "#" is encountered, everything after is not read because its a comment. What I suggest you do is paste the script in a word editor first. Not notepad, but wordpad or microsoft word etc. Just something that allows you to paste text, and it copies with all the lines it should have. Then copy it again and paste it into RPG Maker XP from there. Hopefully that will maintain the line structure. With the .zips you were talking about. These are demo projects that contain the scripts. Open the script editor and copy and paste the script to your game. These scripts are usually a little more complicated though. The site is down at the moment because we're upgrading something. It will hopefully be up very soon though.

I don't think you need a script for this. You could do it with events. For example, if you wanted all the switches set to 0, you go to "Control Switches" and check "Batch" and you could turn off all your switches with one even command. Same with variables, but you cannot turn them off of course. But you can set them all to 0 in one go. With a script, its no easier. Self switches however, I think you need to use scripting. Unfortunately I cannot script, but perhaps the variable "$game_self_switches" will help a scripter figure it out.

The old system is back and will stay until I come back on the 28th Nov. After that date, we will upgrade to the newer system. Wyzrd will not be able to moderate the points until the new system is available. Sorry about this, it annoys me just as much that I couldn't get the system working. But I really need to set my priorities at the moment. Keep discussing more features of the system in this topic though. We need to decide which forums you get points for posting/making topics in. And if every member should one point on registering just to start them off. Things like that. I was also thinking that we could have a profile field stating if you're a vender or not so members know where to spend their points(a profile field is like the RPG Maker Level or Current Project etc. so its in the topic view)

oh crap, I forgot I'm supposed to be studying for exams. :( Yeah when I get back officially(28th November) I will try and update it with as much information as i can. I don't know who will actually read all it. I sure could type a lot about it. I'm also hoping to do some major updates after my return.

I've had it happen. I was working Project back in 2006 soon after I discovered RMXP and suddenly it didn't open when I tried to open and edit the game. Its a lot of work lost and it really makes you mad. Another time I had collected a lot of files. Past games, script demos, resources etc. (a lot to do with starting up a website as well) and I had to reformat my computer. I completely forgot to backup, and I got so fed up with windows that I switched to using Linux and didnt even use RMXP for a while. That was the biggest loss I've had. To prevent it though, I have my project stored on a drive that is not C drive, or the drive where windows is installed. And I also have an uploaded copy of my project which i can access at any time. When the rxdata goes corrupt, i'm sure there is a way to get the game working. Its been a couple of years, but i seem to remember this happening to me and I managed to restore my game. Okay what I did was copy the corrupted project so there's a backup. Next start a new project. Copy the rxdata data, one by one, to the new projects "data" folder replacing the old data files. First of all you want to copy over all the maps.rxdata you have. Usually not all the data files are corrupt, so test the new project until you get an error. Once you get an error you will be able to identify which rxdata file is corrupted. You can recovfer most of your game this way. Alternatively, find the corrupted rxdata by the method above and copy across data files from the new project to the old one and your game should be recovered, except for the data in the .rxdata file you had to replace.

After we develop the system a bit more, I will make an announcement and link to an FAQ article about how to get points, and what/who you can spend them on. So far members have accumulated 5 points. Undwight with the most at 3 points for contributing to the website. That will probably soon be 6 once his other tutorial is published there. Posting in the tutorial section is currently worth 2 points, but if it gets added to the website you get an extra +1 for the contribution. EDIT: You guys aren't going to like this... I found a newer version of the points system, but its proving very difficult to get working. The main problem being I'm upgrading to a very newer version. I don't have Dreamweaver at the moment, which is what I use for modifications. An IPS keeps showing. The new version is not working, but its much better than the one we were using(even though its not installed 100% yet). Especially in the permissions part of the mod. I'll try and fix it and have it up and running as soon as I can. Sorry about this...

All finished: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/index.php/rmx...ve-mapping.html All the images are uploaded to RMXP Unlimited(all 76 of them) and you should be able to edit the article as you please, as long as you are logged into the site(same account as your forums one). One thing I noticed though is that the hell cave, seems to be smaller than it should. Since we're trying to integrate a points system on the forum, I will give you 3 points since you have an article on the website. If the points system takes off, the points should benefit you in the future.

Great, thank you very much. I'll PM you the link when it is done. All of the images will also be uploaded to RMXP Unlimited in case the externally linked ones are deleted or something else happens to them. We used to have a forum for requesting tutorials, but we got rid of it when we simplified the RMXP forum sections. We used to have something like 50 forums alone for RMXP and RMVX and decided it was way too complicated. The closest thing we do have though is the RMXP Training Center which has currently has/had Black Shadow as a teacher(classes are not limited to one teacher though). This is something a few RMXP forums tried and failed, but we just keep it there because it has some useful content within it.

Very nice work. Having made one or two tutorials myself, I realize must have put in and an extreme amount of work and effort into this tutorial. Do I have your permission to add this to our mapping tutorials section on our website? Obviously you'll get credit and you will even be able to edit the article afterward.

Someone a while ago made an article on our website entitled "Ultimate Pokemon Game Tool!". Coincidentally it leads to the same site you posted Emily, except it links to the start kit. Well the link is on that page. bugbite250, you should try searching first. Especially our website, it has a lot of useful content hidden away in all those categories. A simple "pokemon" search come up with the links. http://upokecenter.com/projects/pokestarter/

I will join in once I find a suitable skill that the community can benefit from. I have another idea for this. As well as buying the skills of talented members, I could also supply advertising on the website. Just a small banner somewhere or something like that. It will get 100+ views per day, and that's on the main page alone and not any of the scripts or other content pages. Either time or clicks could be bought. For example. 100SP = 1 week or 100 clicks of the banner. However no websites will be allowed to advertised, only things like projects and the Scrive for example. I see you're already getting into it, Pol. I'll try and modify the current points system the best I can to create a system that will work. One thing though is we really have to keep points rare. That, or increase the cost per SP of everything. I'll remove the bank and lottery systems. They would increase SP of members who've done nothing to get the extra SP. I'll make it so members can send and receive SP between each other. Enable points for posting in contributing forums only(Projects, Scripts, Resources). And allow Admins and Global Moderators to allocate points where deserved. I'm not 100% sure I can create all of this at the moment, but that's the plan so far. Is this the basics of the idea of your system, Leon? EDIT: By the way, I'm not actually back on the forums yet. I finish in 10 days from now(28th Nov) but today I'm having a break. I've done some work on the system. Everyone now has 0 SP Points as you should be able to see under your post count. There is a little icon() which you can click to "Donate Points" to that member. Yeah I know its an email icon, I'll find another later. In the Points CP you can do a whole lot of stuff, just click the link to see. To get points, make a topic(not post) in the following forums: Utilities & Enhancements Resources RMXP/RMVX Tutorials RGSS/RGSS2 Scripts Eventing Systems Projects & Teams Recruitment Completed games User Submitted Projects For each topic made, you get 2 points, except Completed Games where you get 4. You also get 1 point for every post(reply) made in the support forums. This however also means the member receiving support also gets points if he replies. This will need a lot of testing before it works properly...

Ah, I see. A bartering system. With enough members willing to join in on this then I think we can get it to work.

How's this going Ark? I thought I disabled non-admins posting in this forum... :lol: but its okay you posted here. You only just noticed that they were restored? They've been sitting there waiting to be edited for 10 months. But I'm glad you've decided to work on them again. I will also be updating the history of RMXP Unlimited, as much as I can remember at least. We've been operating so long its hard to remember everything that's happened. Although now that we have been consistently running(thanks to isaacsol) things have been less eventful.

Damn it, I was on the phone while i was editing my post and you posted before I could. Okay I see what you mean now. We have plenty of talented members on the forum, though will you and others do this for other members? What do you expect in return?

This may come as a surprise, but we have a points system. Like 90% of the features of this site, it's unused. However this is far different from your idea, which I like. The main issue with it is that a member of the forum would have to allocate the points to the members. This is a problem because the member who allocates the points will have to read all of the posts on the forum and be constantly active. Sorta like an admin. Although I can make it so topics are worth more points, and topics in certain forums are worth more points. I like the idea though. I could set it up easily enough. For the points system at the moment, I removed all visibility of it on the board(topic view etc.). I think it could become popular. If the points are rare enough I think it could create some competition and some contributors could get some recognition for how hard the work. EDIT: I think I read your post wrong, Leon. You will script 2 lines per SP that a particular member will earn? And other skilled members also create resources in exchange for SP. This means I would have to give those members something in return also...

Welcome, friend! It's been a long time since I've seen you around this place. It's great to have some more experience around. By the way, you will need to send an affiliate image my way, because your other is not at the link it used to be anymore. I'm actually inactive here at the moment(but confusing everyone by posting) due to exams, but I come back if there is something important to do/post about. I hope you are able to stay active here. The "I think" in the title suggests your stay may be short lived, but we'll enjoy your company while it lasts ^_^

EDIT: Just looked at your Goodbye topic and saw the same story I just wrote there. Oh well, this one is better anyway. Did any of you notice that Ravenclaw's join date is 6-October 06, 2 days after I registered? Storytime! :D Why did Marked decide to make a forum? 'twas 2006, and young Mark one day stumbled apon the phenomenon of "forums", this particular one goes by the name of Creation Asylum. Soon after, Mark discovers a "request topic" made by "Ravenclaw105". A request for some battlers and background music was something I could do(or attempted to at least). This was 2 and a half years ago. I was 15 and had never been or heard of a forum before. And here I was drawing pictures in the summer holidays for someone on the internet. It was weird but I enjoyed trying to help. Soon after I found a link to invisionfree, and RMXP Unlimited was born. Soon after, the following PM was sent to Ravenclaw: You all have Ravenclaw to thank for the existence of this forum. One request topic that two and a half years later resulted in this community. The legend returns, welcome back Ravenclaw!

First of all, sorry for making this post while I'm supposed to be away. I still am because my exams don't even start for another week. Anyway, while I've been away from the forum I have occasionally been checking up on the forums as a guest on my ipod touch. As those of you with ipod touch's and iphones will know, you can add websites to your homescreen. Usually those websites logo's will be a screenshot of the page you were on when you added the it to the homescreen, but I made a logo for RMXP Unlimited that will show up on iphones and ipods. To see it, go to rmxpunlimited on your device, click the + symbol, then click "add to home screen". I don't know how to get a screenshot of that since it's on my ipod, so those of you with them will have to do this and see for yourself.

I'm going to be leaving for a while. I won't be back until December. I am on my final year of highschool this year and going to University next year. I recently had my third birthday since this forum was started(It seems so long ago that I was 15 when I started it). My final school exams are coming up in November and the last term of school for me starts on Monday. Having lost total motivation for school I have lazed around the entire year and not done any work, so I'm very very close to not making it to university. An example of my failures this year which my Biology class found very impressive was attempting an entire paper and getting absolutely nothing right. Over all three biology papers I got 4 questions correct, which is an average of 1.3 answers correct per paper. It doesn't matter which country you're from, you know thats bad. So by now you should be beginning to understand why I'm leaving. I will also be, traditionally at this time of year, placing my computer in my closet so I will not be tempted to use it. Another reason is that this forum has started to really frustrate me, and I need a break. But on a more positive note, we've had a lot of successes recently. You can thank Emily for that. We have increased our traffic rank by almost 300,000 and our page views have increased by 319%. That's really good. We are very close to being more popular than we have ever been. As said in the title, there are some updates. Staff members, there is no longer a staff section. It has become pointless and will not be used(even if it was there). There are no longer any reviewers or a reviews section. I also have some concerns about current staff members who do not actually do anything on the forums. While they are active members, I'm not sure they need to be staff. But that won't be sorted out until I return in December.

Well, lets compare making games in RMXP and notepad. Notepad is paint, and RMXP is photoshop. Yeah, its better.

I finally finished the tileset you requested.

There are a lot of Battlesystems out there(many types) but you could try looking at out Battle System section: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/index.php/rmx...le-systems.html There are a couple of battlesystems there for you to look at and consider using. If you choose not to use one, post back and I'll give you more links. Also please post script requests in the script requests forum.

Personally I haven't experience that problem. Has anyone else ?

Huh?... there hasn't been a spambot since the 5th and it's now the 10th(my time). We stopped seem to have stopped them. At the cost of a couple of members though. At the moment no one can sign up with a Gmail account and there is also email validation required. We've got 17 members at the moment awaiting validation...what a pain. Well anyway, don't worry about the spambots. If all else fails we have a backup plan. Which is like, awesome. It could just destroy the forums so we're waiting until they get out of control to do that ;)
