  • Thought about skipping Testing on a really simple, copy-and-paste change to my plugin. Glad I chose to test, because I had accidentally called my aliased Recover All method inside my new Die method!! :guffaw:

    Unit testing is the bane of a programmer's existence. This is also why we have an entire department that focused on QA.
    Damn it's nice to have the Character Count shown while typing a Status Message post!

    (Perhaps a little less useful for the Forum posts.)

    It doesn't even work for me anymore. I can't even format anything anymore - it's all greyed out. Makes me sad. It must be my browser.

    lower right corner is a pain for forum posts - even if I add a few blank lines below then go up to insert, it still hides what I'm typing when I'm at the end of the row. But it IS nice to have for the status posts.
    I just lost an hour plus of time to trying to modify the _battlefield sprite... when in reality MZ calls it _battleField ;_;

    Even when debugging for the "undefined value", it looked exactly the same to my 20/60 eyesight.

    I really prefer this_naming_convention rather than thisNamingConvention !!
    To the spammer posting in Arabic and trying to trick people into clicking on links to products - no one but the admins will ever see your spam. You're only wasting our time and your own.
    Looking at Icon #10 (and #26) in MZ, the only thing I can visually read it as is a Screw, as to say "this battler is screwed". :guffaw: Am I misreading this icon?

    Yeah that's what I thought aswell. I couldn't really think of anything that would go with this icon. Looks cool though.

    But as it turns out, the screw icon is actually the equivalent to MV's skull icon, which belongs to the "Curse" state in the RTP.

    Well it can also either be a shop icon for building supplies... or the most awkward "House of ll repute" icon. :LZSwink:

    Late here, but I feel like a screw symbolises tenacity and pointiness. So I read it as "difficult-to-remove sharp thing", which doesn't sound positive, especially with the icon's colours.
    I have so much respect for the asset creators that create huge libraries in the same style, over time. It's a long grind to be sure, but each resource in the same style makes all the others more valuable.
    Absolutely shameful display by a certain group of my fellow Americans today. It's obvious "law and order" is nothing more than a catchy motto.

    Regardless of sides the whole spectacle is a sad example of boundless madness, on all sides really. Today is just a more visual moment. Truly a sad turn of events that benefits noone.

    Yep. The "mostly peaceful protest" tactic has officially crossed the isle and become a bipartisan stratagem. Nothing good comes after that unfortunately. Been pulling my hair out all last year pretty much warning people this is where we are headed. Really sucks to be right.
    I just saw a video on the Sagrada Familia and it looks AMAZING, as if it came from some beautiful fantasy world! Have any of you guys been there? Is it as wildly cool as it looks?

    I've been there! It's so neat because I think it's designed by two (or more?) architects because it took so long to build that they died (or something like that... it's been years). So it's a weird mismatch of styles right next to each other. Here's a video from a walk through of one of the coolest parts! Those windows... Wow!

    Wrote a plugin today that allows you to assign BGM, Battlebacks, and even Battle Entry SE's on a per-troop basis. Introducing a random encounter with a high-pitched Chicken Squeal is worth it all by itself.

    @cchmaster If you have a game that's coming out before then and you're about to finish it up, I don't mind sending over a "beta version" right before you release. Just PM me. This plugin is pretty easy to use so even if you're setting up different settings for every single troop, it should only take a few hours to get it all implemented.
    cchmaster
    Haha, no, my game is still on very early stage. I'm just curious about what your plugins will be. Really looking forward to them.

    Thank you! I have some very cool stuff that I'm working on, so keep an eye out for the announcements, and hopefully I won't disappoint!
    My awesome grandma died of COVID this morning. I'm heartbroken, I feel so empty right now. She had been looking forward so much to seeing the family once the nursing home allowed visitors again. We were looking forward to it, too.
    I just had a weird bolt of inspiration and decided to put some homemade falafel into the omelette I was cooking. The layers of egg and falafel sort of joined together after a few minutes of cooking, and the marriage was heavenly. Falafel omelettes need to be a thing.

    Sometimes things that sound like they should not work work out well in food. I once added cheese sauce to a enchilada soup I was making. That worked out really well in the end.
    Welp, back to the drawing board...

    Elon Musk demo'ed a further step toward the Mind-Machine Interface! I'm torn. Having an MMI could grant us so much knowledge about ourselves and power over the physical world. Having an MMI could also grant powerful or clever people very easy ways to abuse us.

    @Jenova Yes it is!! XD

    @Sausage_Boi As a teen/twenty something I always thought it would be very cool living in a GitS-style future. The more I live, the more I see, the less I'm sure about that!!

    @ImaginaryVillain Who can say, man? Just as long as my path doesn't end up in a galactic salt mine!

    @Dororo I cracked up so hard reading your response! Well played, friend. I guess "mind typos" will indeed be a thing in the days of the Mind-Machine Interface.
    Day 2 of MZ Plugin Making: Ways to remove core functionality that some people just don't want. Goodbye and good riddance to the Optimize command! Goodbye and good riddance to LUK's slight effect on State Application rates!

    @Kes The easy way is to go to the rmmz_windows.js file, and make the following changes (or copy the following methods to a new plugin file and make the changes there):
    * Remove the entire "optimize" line in the Window_EquipCommand.prototype.makeCommandList method
    * Change 3 to 2 in the Window_EquipCommand.prototype.maxCols method
    Wavelength

    With that being said, my actual plugin (which I plan to release in a few months) uses more complex scripting that will allow it to play nicely with other plugins that may touch the Equip Command window. @Kes if you need that more compatible version, just PM me.

    A more compatible version sounds nice, but I can wait until you release it. I must finish my Ace project first. What I'm doing now is collecting stuff I know I'll want once I get going, which will also slightly ease the learning curve then. Never having used MV is going to be a great disadvantage.
    Made my first plugin for MZ! Handling user input (like how to specify/read a new Plugin Command) was a struggle, but thanks to a bit of study from the default scripts, and especially @ct_bolt's excellent example that he shared, I was able to piece it together!

    Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for being a cool Mod.
    You seem forgiving of me being a noob at coding and of me being a noob at foruming lol.
    Thanks for being informative and cool!

Do you believe me now?
It's been long time since last I'm tinkering with RPG Maker ~
Turns out. I wasn't in my head accounting for when the Actor doesn't have a weapon equipped but DOES still have a Grimoire equipped... 40+ SV Spritesheets!!! D'x
Elemental chart based on taoism could be interesting.

Come and join me in 10 minutes for Trihan's Challenge Hour, where I'll be attempting a game of Cartographers where I can only position terrain in the orientation on the explore card! Following that will be the Wifestream, where Kytt will be trying out From Space for the first time! https://twitch.tv/trihanstreams
