SkillUpgrade

XP

version 0.2.0

by Kyonides

Introduction

This script allows you to quickly setup a specific list of skills that can be upgraded by the heroes during gameplay. The more they use their skills the faster the upgrades can take place.

It is supposed to be as simple as possible. This might mean bad news for you for I could easily reject any of your future feature requests, guys.

No GUI is included!  

It requires the creation of a template file, basically a TXT file.
You can find the default one right below the script.

The Script - Alpha Stage

Code:

# * SkillUpgrade XP * #
#  Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#  v0.2.0 - 2023-10-24

# This script allows you to quickly setup a specific list of skills that can be
# upgraded by the heroes during gameplay. The more they use their skills the
# faster the upgrades can take place.

# Create a new text file. It should have the same name as the value of the
# TEMPLATE_NAME constant you can find below.
# That file will be used as a template.
# Optionally, you could use and carefully edit the default template instead.

module SkillUp
  TEMPLATE_NAME = "skill_upgrades.txt"

  class Require
    def initialize(*args)
      @uses = args[0] || 0
      @target_id = args[1] || 0
      @keep = args[2]
    end

    def setup(hash)
      @target_id = hash[:target] || 0
      @keep = hash[:keep]
    end

    def ignore?
      @target_id == 0
    end
    attr_accessor :uses, :target_id, :keep
  end

  COMMENT_SYM = "#"
  BASE_UPGRADES = {}
  extend self
  def set(skill_id)
    data = BASE_UPGRADES[skill_id] || {}
    req = Require.new
    req.setup(data)
    req
  end
end

class String
  def scan_int
    scan(/\d+/).map{|n| n.to_i }
  end
end

module SkillUp
  def parse
    if File.exist?(TEMPLATE_NAME)
      lines = File.readlines(TEMPLATE_NAME)
    else
      lines = []
    end
    list = BASE_UPGRADES
    lines.delete_if {|line| line[0] == COMMENT_SYM }
    lines.each do |line|
      next if line.chomp.empty?
      skill_id, total, target = line.scan_int
      keep = line[/keep/i] != nil
      list[skill_id] = { :use_max => total, :target => target, :keep => keep }
    end
  end
  parse
end

class RPG::Skill
  def use_max
    @requirement ||= SkillUp::BASE_UPGRADES[@id] || { :use_max => 0 }
    @requirement[:use_max]
  end
end

class Game_Actor
  alias :kyon_skill_up_gm_act_init :initialize
  def initialize(actor_id)
    kyon_skill_up_gm_act_init(actor_id)
    @skill_up = {}
    @skills.each {|sid| set_skill_upgrade(sid) }
  end

  def set_skill_upgrade(skill_id)
    @skill_up[skill_id] = SkillUp.set(skill_id)
  end

  def skill_upgrade(skill_id)
    @skill_up[skill_id]
  end
  attr_reader :skill_up
end

The Template

This file should always have a blank line at the very end. Never ever forget this!
