Yay! I got done with a 'preliminary' edit to the ladies' shorts. Nothing as to extra border work where the shorts are cut... no solid matching border or semi-fuzzy cotton border as if they were actually 'cut' from a pair of jeans. But the 190+ frames for female jeans have been properly sliced and the animation appears just fine.

Now back to the instructions writing.

RE: What's up, RMers? - Remi-chan - 03-14-2021

Just remastering more of these cutscenes, now I've actually gotta get my composer to redo track number 02 "Playthings No More!" due to this being too long for the original. Though it also needs more intensity and different syncing now... so it would probably have been asked of him regardless.
Voice acting for Yasondre and most of Sacreblu is placeholder at the moment.

For context's sake, I'll put the old version in the spoilers below.

RE: What's up, RMers? - kyonides - 04-03-2021

Well, I've been further developing KSkillRunes XP but prefered not to post anything there because it's still in beta stage. To be honest with you, I had to overwrite some code in order to make it easy to search for any given rune skill. This also means that any previously saved game won't work any longer if you ever managed to give a rune gem stone to any hero. Laughing
Every run gem stone will cost you some gold in order to activate it or some rune points (rp) to level up its skills.
Right, now you can just open the item menu and offer it to... I dunno... Aluxes alias Alex! Laughing

RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 04-04-2021

It seems there isn't a time I don't have something in the works. And yeah, I get plenty of requests.

Currently, I am working on a custom hybrid menu per a request. A custom job of course, so it requires interaction with the requester. Complex requests require interaction. So if you wanna help someone on a project, be prepared to talk to them as much as possible during each stage. And if you ask for help, be ready to give your helper advice and updates.

Of course after this, I have a few others...

Just in the very hypothetical case you have been wondering what the hell have I been doing as of late, here you can find the answer to your silly question. Laughing

I have been playing Gamer Lords of the Realms 2 and got an idea for a game or mini game so I started crafting Sculptor the barebones of a new script. Here it is for you to check it out and get an idea on what it might do in the (not so near) future. Happy with a sweat

RE: What's up, RMers? - kyonides - 05-03-2021

Lately I didn't improve the KLords of XP script code because I got busy watching some anime and a DC animated movie.
Happy with a sweat I know, I've been slacking but you know me, I'm lazy after all! Laughing

Besides I noticed that I wasn't achieving my goal to let the menu look as Lords-ish as it should have been so I replaced labels with icons and I saved a lot of space on the GUI thanks to this design change. You won't notice how much the code has changed for there were few minimal cosmetic changes being implemented there. Most of the rewritten lines of code belong to "low level" code that had the purpose of making the script as modular as possible. Indifferent Yeah, you're right. That's not impressive at all but it proved to be quite helpful indeed. Still, I do think encapsulation makes things more confusing every so often. Confused Even so you'd get bored of analyzing code if I pushed it all into the menu's main scene script. Tongue sticking out

RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 05-04-2021

Still working on a ' custom hybrid menu request' , and its means of choosing or removal of equipment required a completely different item-equiping scenario. The old equip method in the Game_Actor class is basically moot. I was working on both it and the stats display system in tandem, but found the current means to show stat increase/decreases caused issue with the actual item-equiping system.

I just rewrote the item-equiping system, fresh and clean and devoid of the stats display. Soon, I will begin working on the stats next.

The requester is liking that he can now show as many stats he would like, not the default three of just ATK, MDEF, PDEF.

RE: What's up, RMers? - kyonides - 05-06-2021

I've attached a recent screenshot of my reinterpretation of Lords of the Realm 2 for XP. I know, it looks quite empty right now because I've only recently begun working on the GUI instead of the API exposed to the game developers.
Happy with a sweat To be honest with you guys, you're supposed to use the map as you would do with any other map. You still can use some sort of panorama if you like to represent the actual territory that comprises a given shire or region.

P.S.

Rumor Crowns is the so called medieval term for money there.
The icon sporting "ten pounds" written on it is a symbol of taxes not Cash

RE: What's up, RMers? - kyonides - 05-13-2021

Yeap, I've come back with another report on the development stage of KLords of XP! Grinning

This time I've changed lots of lines of code that you'd rarely use in game and I had to rewrite lots of methods and add a few methods or even a new class like the Spy Spy class! Shocked

So if you don't own that shire or pretend you do Laughing that's not a problem, you'd just send a spy to get as much info as possible! Grinning
That doesn't mean the Spy spy isn't some sort of double agent like Ninja ninjas might be!
Happy with a sweat Of course, that's just the button. Its API isn't finished, yet. Tongue sticking out

Code:
# * KLords of XP - Alpha Release
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   2021-05-12

=begin
This is a free adaptation of Lords of the Realm 2 game for RMXP. The goal of
this script is to partially replicate some of its features.
The king is dead! The war of succession has just begun!
This game places you as a feudal lord or knight in charge of a shire or county
and you are a candidate to become the next king. The game is divided by turns
corresponding to the annual seasons.

* Reserved Lord ID's
0 - Independent Shires
1 - The Player!

# * Script Calls * #

* Open the KLords of XP Scene OR the Player's Name Scene if needed
- Later on it will automatically open the KLords of XP Scene
open_klords_map

* Open the KLords of XP Scene (No Player's Name Setup Needed)
$scene = KLords::MapScene.new

* Set Current Party Leader as Lord (alias the Player) - In Game
$game_party.leader_as_lord

* Select the Next Map of Shires to be ruled by the lords - In Game
$game_system.next_shires_map

* Set a New Season and Year - In Game
$game_system.new_calendar(season, year)

* Retrieve All Lords You Have Configured
$game_system.lords
$game_system.lord(LordID)
$game_system.lord_name(LordID)
$game_system.lord_shires(LordID)
$game_system.lord_allies(LordID)

* Retrieve How Many Crowns (Gold) a given Lord has earned so far
$game_system.lord_crowns(LordID)
$game_system.lord_gain_crowns(LordID)
$game_system.lord_lose_crowns(LordID)

* Retrieve All Shires (Regions) You Have Configured
$game_system.shires
$game_system.shire(ShireID)
$game_system.shire_land_id(ShireID)
$game_system.shire_lord_id(ShireID)

RE: What's on your mind? - Mel - 05-15-2021

I'm currently playing Divinity: Original Sin II and it's possible to save the game in the middle of a battle there.
So I'm thinking if it's possible to have such a feature in a RPG Maker XP game. I think it would require a massive revision of the save and loading processes.

What do you think?
