KPockets Daphne

VX + ACE

v.1.0.5

by Kyonides

Introduction

There was some user better known as Daphne Lijffijt that had once posted a request for a very specific limited inventory for VX Ace.

So far most things work just as expected, except for a curious detail: the user never told me what would happen right after the user had pressed  the OK Button.
Now it does allow the player to consume items or call common events as you would usually do.

There is a single script call but it is optional so you might not need to ever care about that.

It now features the use of a few tags that you can leave in an item's note box. 

Besides you can now open the actual documents or notes you might have found so far.

Keep in mind that the demo includes a mystery to be solved by Grant, its lead character.

A Pickpocket's Update

Fine, there's no pickpocket around here. It just happens that I have updated KPockets Daphne after implementing the OK button functions usually available in a typical ACE game. Yet, that's not completely true for I had also included some weird features commonly found in Containment Breach like preventing you from stacking stuff like cards or keys. In Daphne's project she would only let you hoard coins, pencils and red marbles!?

Obviously, you can customize it at any given time!

You only need to leave a specific tag in the item's note box:

<stack!>

And it will let you become a true hoarder!

Don't worry! My script will let you know how many pencils you've got.

Now you can also open documents!
Just leave another custom tag in the note box:

<open doc!>

Since a single document item type might be equal to n number of actual pictures representing the papers, you will need to use a script call before you can call the Change Items event command.

add_pocket_docs("sample doc", etc.)

List as many "docs" as necessary.

EDIT

By the way, there was a bug that did not update the documents properly, keeping them forever till you had deleted all of them in a single session. This has been fixed since version 0.14.0.

Haven't you ever noticed how easily you could become a   thief in games like Breath of Fire series?

Stacking Updates!

 Well, that was the only title I could think off right now.

What I wanted to tell you is that demo version 0.15.0 includes several fixes and a couple of improvements.

Now it will correctly discard items no matter if they are documents or keys, etc. I had to modify the corresponding check for documents are treated as unique entities while keys and coins and pencils aren't so far.

The creation of dossiers has been born!  Nope, please don't call me Steele.

Sadly, there is only a check that verifies if there is a clipboard in your inventory. This means it will only let you discard the document for the time being.

There is a small indicator on top of the icon telling you how many pencils you've got.

So will your character ever escape the containment facility?

There Are Clipboards Everywhere!

 Obviously, that is an exaggeration but it served a purpose, to let you know that the clipboard feature of my script has been fully implemented.  Now you can stockpile documents or papers or notes there.

It is useful because you get 10 new slots just for documents! 

Version 1.0.3 brings you a few changes in how the menu works. Now you cannot save your game by just selecting a pencil.
Thank Daphne for that.  She forgot to mention how that was supposed to work. So from now on you are supposed to save it via the Change Items and Open Save Menu commands or by creating a common event that does the same.

Right, I forgot to mention that the pencil will break after a single save...

It also includes some minor bug fixes.

Unless there is any bug report, I consider I have finished working on this script. 

 Don't ask me if that is exactly how the clipboard function works in ye old Containment Breach game for I have never  played it.
