EkuipSkills XP

Kiwi & Mango Versions

by Kyonides-Arkanthes

Introduction

These scripts will let you customize your game by providing the ability to learn skills by equipping pieces of heroic equipment. It consists of the main EkuipSkills and the temporary scripts. When I say temporary I mean you should not keep it if your game or demo is ready for distribution!

The temporary script is a parser that will read a file conveniently named Ekuip Skills.txt you must create on your own. Follow the temporary script instructions, they are pretty straightforward!

The Scripts

EkuipSkills Parser Script

Code:

# * EkuipSkills XP - Parser
#   Scripter : Kyonides-Arkanthes
#   2018-10-13

# This TEMPORARY script includes weapons and 8 pieces of armor that might help
# the hero learn specific skills. The additional pieces are optional, but you
# can add more if you wish. Just follow the main EkuipSkills XP script
# instructions carefully and you will succeed for sure.

# Create or Open Ekuip Skills.txt file and type stuff like the following:

#Weapon 1 learns : 1,2
#Armor 1 learns : 3

# You don't need to include the pound # symbol.
# It should end with an empty line!

# Please keep in mind that Shields, Helmets, Body Armors, Accessories are just
# Armors for the maker's database.

# THIS SCRIPT SHOULD BE PLACED ABOVE THE MAIN EkuipSkills XP SCRIPT!!

# Remove it from the script editor before you distribute your game or demo!

Main EkuipSkills Script

Code:

# * EkuipSkills XP - Kiwi Version
#   Scripter : Kyonides-Arkanthes
#   2018-10-13

# This script includes weapons and 8 pieces of armor that might help the hero
# learn specific skills. The additional pieces are optional.

# It replaces the Game_Actor equip method, making it incompatible with scripts
# that rely on the original method.

# It adds methods like armor5_id or armor8_id. If you want to add more pieces
# of equipment, create a new method inside Game_Actor by following this example:

# def armor9_id() @armors[8] end

# Just like those I have created already. Place it below my methods and it
# should be fine.

# Also change the ARMOR_SLOT_MAX value accordingly. It is a constant value that
# won't change during gameplay. It should be equal to or greater than 4, guys!!
