Legacy Class Change
by legacyblade
Version: 1.20
Type: Class Change Script
Aug 26 2008
Introduction
After awhile of searching through script databases, I was unsuccessful at finding a class changing script that did what I wanted it to do. I found one that was sort of close, but didn't work with BlizzABS, or any other ABS for that matter, and that just didn't work for me. So, I decided to make one, and I think it turned out quite well. The system is reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.
Features
Script
Instructions
Instructions are in the script
Compatibility
100% compatible with the SDK (or so it seems)
100% compatible with Ccoa's UMS
100% compatible with the BlizzABS
Should be 100% compatible with most scripts.
Credits and Thanks
Author's Notes
I'm working on adding a few more features. Please give me some suggestions!

# VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
#
# For every minor update or bugfix, I will increase the version by .01
# For every new feature, I will increase the version be .1
# For every 10 feature updates, I will update the version by 1
#
# Compatibility:
#
# The script was coded to be 100% compatible with most, if not all scripts. I can't
# think of ANY script that wouldn't be compatible, but I will list those that I
# tested for compatibility.
#
# Blizz ABS is 100% compatible, and most ABS scripts should be as well, due to how
# the class rank is added.
#
# CCoa's UMS is 100% compatible.
#
# The SDK 2.3 seemed to be compatible. Everything worked fine even with the SDK
# in the project.
#
# I'll keep testing scripts, and adding to this list
#
# Incompatibility:
#
# No known incompatibility
#
#
# Known Issues:
#
# none ^_^
#
# Features:
#
# The Legacy Class Change system allows you to define how many levelups with a
# certain class or classes are needed to unlock another class. Its setup in such
# a way to fit ANY game's needs. You can also define a description for the class
# or just set the description for each class to what type of class (long range,
# close range, magical, popcorn wielding, ect.) It's done in such a way that you
# can configure it to work with whatever style of RPG your making, whether it be
# serious, joke, abs, turn based, tbs, or any other kind of RPG, the Legacy Class
# Change will work for your game.
#
# Another of the newer features is the ability to have the actor's graphic (both
# charset AND battler) change when the class is changed. This can be disabled,
# or configured so that only certain classes will cause a graphic change, or that
# certain classes share a graphic. I know that every game has different needs, so
# I make my scripts as flexible as possible
#
# And you know what the best part is? I'm constantly working on adding new
# features, and making Legacy Class Change work even better.
#
# Version History:
#
# v1.00b:
# -> Legacy Class Change released!
#
# v1.01b:
# -> Fixed a bug in class selection, that would set the actor's class_id to the
# index of the cursor, rather than the actual selected class_id.
#
# v1.02b:
# -> Fixed a few miscellaneous lines of code that could, under certain circumstances, cause errors
#
# v1.10b:
# -> Added the option to change an actor's graphic when the class changes.
#
# v1.10b:
# -> Fixed a bug that kept the class list from scrolling
#
# v.1.20:
# -> Left the beta stage.
# -> Enhanced the level handeling. Now the skills are assigned based on class
# level, rather than the actor's overall level.
#
#
# Useless facts:
#
# This was the first time I've ever successfully made a script. I learned a lot
# about everything I worked with, and can't wait to learn more about RGSS and
# programming in general. I hope you enjoy this, because it cost an entire BOX
# of trisquites, and a couple gallons of milk to make.
#
# Special Thanks:
#
# - Blizzard for all his help. Without him, I couldn't have made it. Not
# only did he help me fix the errors, he also gave me lectures on various
# aspects of programming. This caused me to make LESS errors, and grow
# in my programming skill. Thanks blizz, this script wouldn't be here
# today if you hadn't been there in that MIRC room, XD
#
# - GubiD for when blizzard wasn't around in MIRC to answer my questions.
# he helped me with a few errors that I had no idea how to fix (many of
# them were some of the most n00bish errors too -_-). Thanks GubiD
# couldn't have done it without ya!
#
# - Sephirothtds for making TDS Class Change System incompatible with
# the Blizz-ABS. If you'd made it compatible, I would have gone with your
# script, and never figured out how to make one myself (a much easier to
# configure one at that). Your script's incompatibility sparked my urge to
# learn to scrip. Thanks.
#
# - Juan, who offered a few pointers.
#
# - To all those who put up with me in the CP chat room when I'm ranting
# about my newest error.
#
# - To all the members of eminweb.com for nagging me enough to do my
# administrative duty, which eventually cured me of my infamous laziness
#
# - StarrodKirby86 for requesting the class graphic system, it made this
# script have a feature not many class changing systems have.

# template
# when class_id then return 'text you want appended'
# the 'text you want appended' is how the script figures out which graphic to
# change to. If you want class 1 to switch to the actor's default sprite with
# _fighter on the end, then make 'text you want appended '_fighter'. If you don't
# want the graphic to be different than the default actor graphic, then just
# don't define anything for that class.
