Ahoy there mateys. Allow me to walk you through my problem, hopefully one of you guys will be able to help:

  • For my game I would like to draw onto a window's background - on top of the windowskin, but below the contents. This is so that I can have a nifty region to highlight the character's name as they talk.
  • I'd like this to extend right to the edge of the window, so I've been trying to draw onto @back_bitmap, to no avail.
  • Drawing on the contents works, but obviously stops short before the edge. I could get round this by changing the padding to 0, but that throws everything out of whack.

Here is a test I knocked up to show the issue.

class Window_Message alias new_page_test new_page def new_page(*args) new_page_test(*args) #this line works contents.fill_rect(100, 0, 100, 100, Color.new(255, 0, 255, 255)) #this doesn't @back_bitmap.fill_rect(205, 0, 100, 100, Color.new(255, 0, 255, 255)) end endI've been driving myself crazy trying to work this out. It can't be as tough as I'm making it.

Many thanks,

Tom

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
