I think we should just use the Action Battle System. 1. I already made the sprites for ABS. 2. Leon already went through the trouble of fixing the script for us,so we can turn it off and on. The problem with using a thief as the main character,they are generally soloists. It's just hard to sneak in some where to steal with a bunch of people following you. Aside from the ABS,the other battle systems require 4+ party members,especially the Tactical Battle System, or they just look weird having a big empty space where your 3 other characters should be. TBS is also VERY hard to use,it requires individual scripting for EVERY single battle. So,random battles for training are out of the question,though you can turn it off which is good. The reason I chose XAS over Mr. Mo's is because Mr. Mo's requires you to have something to attack, in order to even swing your sword. XAS,however,is like Legend of Zelda,where you can just swing freely,plus it's by far easier to play.

If it turns out to be a a three why tie on the personality,we could try to combine them. One and Two aren't that different. It is possible for someone to be happy,cheerful,crafty,quick-witted,cunning,and have a tortured past. Number four however,is the quiet,cautious type. Innocent minded,honest and very apoligitic and sympathetic towards her victims. She is the complete opposite of the ideal thief;which throws everyone off guard.

It freaked out when I did that. Syntax Error:"Can not find player's Data!" I'm not sure,but it likes to have a character in the party. Though I could change the character to a bad guy during the scene and just disable moving. Hm.... @Kiriashi,Sure. We need all the story ideas we can get.

that game is VERY hard.I would try to find a strategy guide,too. The 72 page guide on Gamefaqs.com isn't much help without pictures. Without a strategy guide,I promise YOU WILL NEVER COMPLETE IT! Muawhaha! (Seriously though,that game is rediculously hard.)

You could censor yourself lol. Like I sometimes say. *Bleep* or * out a few letters. Viewers will still know what you mean.

I'm fine with others swearing as long as it's nothing racist or sexist.

Thanks Leon! Is it possible to remove the hero from the party? I know the script freaked out when I tried to do "bad guy's evil plot sequence"so, I had to hide the hero in a corner of the screen. XD The "bad guy evil plot sequence" is where they bad guys are gossiping about the player when he/she is not around,and they reveal their evil plan to the player. Used to build suspense or drama in a game. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Let me know which of those personaly ideas,you guys liked best,okay?

exactly. Ive been checking the site like I check my email out of sheer habit

sorry,the part cut off is just more actors;added up by a variable. see,the event counts ALL dead party members,not just the ones currently in the party. It was designed to be a miracle spell. But you can easily change it by adding a second condition branch to check if their in the party to the one that checks if their knocked out or not. But ya,you can set the based damage as high as you want. like turn 1,000 into 10,000,or even 100,000. Base damage times # of dead actors. This system was designed for my old game that actually removed actors of the party when they died. You'd get a message saying,"Aluxes died,"when his hp hit 0,and he would disappear from the party. It was a very hard game,needless to say! This spell harnessed that power. So,if you had 21 dead actors,and the base damage was set to 1,000. it would do 21,000 damage AND fully heal everyone in the party.

Thanks =), everyone seemed to ignore it when I posted it. >.< I have a lot of weird events. Like Lorana's pink-heart arrow barrage. She a skill that marks all the enemies with a status effect,and then I have a 1x,1 turn event in battle that checks every turn for enemies with her special "pink-hearted" status effect. If she's find someone with it,she will force skill use her finishing move on those particular enemies;all during the same turn!

This thief girl has a very limited source of happiness,she probably doesn't even know about God,nor care. She mostly just wants to survive. The right to survive is a superseding divine right that transcends any law made by man.

What kind of personality should she have? There's a reason I drew her "blank-faced" like this. Personality Idea #1: Happy,cheerful,with a tortured past. This type of thief steals for survival. Youtube Video -> (Yes,the girl in this video did get gang-raped.) Pros: This personality is very lively,a lot of dialog. She'll appear happy,but have a deep inner emotional pain. Cons: Is prone to going psychotic when reminded of her past. (Yes,I know in Ragnarok Online,she's actually a merchant class.) ------------------------------------------------------- Personality Idea #2: Crafty,quick-witted,and cunning. The ideal thief. This type of thief steals for greed. When caught,she has the amazing ability to make her captor look like the bad guy. Screaming words like: "Help me!"and"Pervert!" draw a crowd very fast,enabling her to escape in the confusion. Pros: a good stable personality. Cons: this type of thief is used a lot,almost too much. ------------------------------------------------------- Personality Idea #3: The Robin Hood type. A noble thief that steals for a divine purpose. Stealing from the wealthy to feed the poor,or stealing what was already stolen to return it to its rightful owner. Cons: VERY commonly used... -------------------------------------------------------- Personality Idea #4: The silent hero.( A.K.A.: "Link") The hero doesn't really have a personality,it's most decided by the player's actions. Cons: no dialog from the player. All questions and responses are simply understood by the NPCs. --------------------------------------------------------- Personality Idea #5: The cautious hero. Though,she has never been caught,she is well aware of the consequences. This type of thief steals for survival. When caught,she will desperately try to reason with her captor,explaining her actions as her last resort and seeking pity from him to let her go.

-Nods- That's exactly how I feel sometimes,well...sort of. I'd rather be like a neutral gender. I'm not attracted to either. I thought I was gay a few years back,when I realized I just didn't like girls that way,I felt more like I was 'trained' to like them. But then I thought about it and I don't like guys that way either. However,If I find someone I truely clicked with,someone who accepted me for who I am,demons and all, then I wouldn't care what gender,race,religion,or whatever they are. By the way,don't go changing genders just to satisfy the ignorant masses and their obsurd idealisms. Make sure it's something that you and only you want 'cuz there's no turning back. It costs more than a really nice car,too.

What are you talking about? Gate Keepers in awesome. The song lyrics are just beautiful. Soldiers defending the world against monsters that can never be truely killed. It's very symbolic. All throughout history,humans slaughter each other like pigs over useless things like rare stones,metals,and large territories.Monsters born from these stupid desires,called Invaders. Instead of just letting mankind wipe themselves out,they do something about it! They use their Gate spells,knowing full well that it will eventually kill them twice as fast as smoking. I watched the anime through again,and honestly I can't stop listening to this song lol. I tried playing another song I liked,and I found myself just thinking about this one. The video just goes so well with the song,and the bonus is the lyrics added to it. It just has this major heroic feeling to it.

Youtube Video -> This song is from the anime, Gate Keepers. It's kind of like the Power Rangers,they fight aliens in groups of 5 or more. Each character has a Gate spell;usually based of an element of nature. The truely sad part of the Gate spell is,it gets stronger with use,but also becomes harder to control. Eventually,it kills its user;usually before they turn 30,depending on how much they use it.

I liked Ragnarok the animation,but it reminded me too much of the MMORPG,Ragnarok Online. Bad memories. I would've like the anime more if it wasn't based off the game. I'm sort've banned from Ragnarok Online >.>; Not by the GMs,but the other players on my server all hate me. Ragnarok Online is a game of team work;you literally need other players to help you train. ....and you could get married to another character for extra bonuses,and adopt another player as your character's child. Anyway,I used my laptop and pc and made a lvl 99 high priest and a lvl 99 assassin cross at the same time. I also liked to role play,too. My favorite anime back then was Flames of Recca,so I had Recca the assassin cross and Yanagi the high priest. I thought it was cute seeing the thief and acolyte boldly declare their eternal love for each other and train together for hours on end all alone. Ofcourse,I married them together for the power bonuses. It wasn't until the other players on my server found out I was controlling both of them,that they ostracized both of my characters from their guilds and alliance guilds. Thanks to the Ragnarok Online Player Data Base(a site that uses a bot program to match all your characters to your account number),you couldn't even change your name and hair color without the other players knowing it's you. I spent the greater part of a year making those characters,and I couldn't get either of them in a guild for anything... After that,the very word Ragnarok,makes me sick to my stomach,and seeing phrases like "You have been kicked out" bring a type of horror,I can't quite describe.

thats not that ragnarok. Its an anime about a detective.

I noticed a problem with the battler's picture system. See that picture in the bottom left corner? It's script-linked with the character's name. Not their Character_ID but their actual name! Like if the player's name is Meowmeow46,in order for a picture to appear down there,you'd need an image in the "Picture" folder named Meowmeow46_Face. Which inhibits us from changing the character's name during the game play. I was wondering if we could set it up to include a casual eye-blinking image(alternates like every 10-20 frames), a pain-response image(for when the character gets hit),a poisoned image(to show status ailments),and maybe an angry image or something when she's using skills or just attacking. I want to liven that picture up! Not just have a dead picture in the corner of the screen,you know? At a mimimum let's have her at least blink.

Okay Leon,your first assignment is to find away to turn the ABS off during events. The scripts in Spanish,so good luck! =) We need to be able to turn the script on and off via eventing. Think you're up for it?

Everyone okay with this battle system?

welcome! I saw rpgm. very sad.

wow

Okay I thought I'd show you want I've got so far. Some of the sprites aren't complete,but bear with it. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1MAJO2LH Alternative Link: http://www.2shared.com/file/5017234/f6a342...AS_Hero_21.html We can use these two file sharing sites to upload are current progess in making the game.

thanks!

If we have the prince,lets have a princess,too. Prince Gregory(age: 14 same age as our thief girl). Princess Rosaline(age: 12) is Gregory's nosy little sister. She has a key to every room in the castle.so there's no where he can hide from her. Gregory has this sick habit of catching thieves and robbers and torturing them to death,but with Rosaline around he can't always get away with it. She always shows up at the last second and yells, "I'm telling!" (Just before the Gregory can get out his whip and cattle prod.) Thus,saving our little thief's life. This scenario was partly inspired by Toy Story. You know,Seth,the evil kid next door,and his sweet little sister named Haley who interrupts him as he's about to blow up Buzz Lightyear and Woody. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I thought about it some more and thought,why not give the prince a big sister,too. Princess Cathrine(age:17) She is the playful older sister,but can give the player a few nuggets of wisdom at times. She abducts our thief and plays dress-up using her old clothes from when she was her age. Physically,she is very developed and beautiful;a source of admiration for our thief girl.
