Final Fantasy 7 Materia

Materia System

Victor Sant

Introduction

Ok this script actuall belongs to me but Victor Sant created it as a commission. What it does is replicates the Materia System from Final Fantasy 7.

For those who are not familiar with Final Fantasy 7 what materia is is an item that contains magic and is equipped to equipment and each equipment can have several of 2 different types

of slots (joint and single) materia then gain ap from battles and as they 'grow' they can gain new spells for the hero and even 'breed' which happens when a materia becomes mastered it slipts into a matster and lvl 1 form

Features

- equip and unequip materia

- materia grow using ap

- materia shops that can buy and sell materia

- materia breeding when mastered (can be turnd off)

FAQ

Q: I cant get the script to work can you help?

A: try and find out if there is a script thats causing the issue and if so let me know and i'll see what I can do but no promises

Q: Can you add a new feature into this script?

A: No I cant as I am not very good at scripting sorry.

Q: the skills do not match the materia names why?

A: I was lazy and didnt go through the materias to correct this as its a conversion from the VX version and the skills are in a different order

Author's Notes

I have included a compatability bit for yanfly's menu engine for those who would like to use it there (also works with the equipment menu engine

FFVII was, and still is one of my favorite video games. I loved the materia hoarding, so this is in all honesty a fine addition to Ace's already epic list of scripts.

 

[??????]

EPIC !!

 

[pclaydon]

because victor sant is amazing here is an update

changes

equip_materia(actor, equip, slot, materia)

actor = actor id

equip = equip slot id (0 = weapon, 1 = shield, 2 = helm, 3 = armor, 4 = accessory)

slot = materia slot

materia = materia id

remove_materia(materia)

materia = materia id

Also i fixed the issues with elemental, added effect and absorb materias.

[StarkinGyra]

This is very cool. I loved the materia and will have to try it out for my game.

How soon until we see version 2 come out?

 

[pclaydon]

[??????]

[pclaydon]

makes more use of the note field in the data bases also includes the ability for enemy skill, materia will not be set up via scripting either

Hey I made these a while back but I have edited the graphics I made for the first version for this version.

Spoiler

those some nice pixels right there ^_^

 

[MooshraKun]

thanks there just edits from those in the screen shot from version 1. I just thought these looked more like the real deal then the screen shots. And since version 2 uses rips I thought that my edits just didn't look nearly out of place as the rips.

And here is an an example screen shot of y graphics in action.Well also credits to who ever made the graphics in version 1 which we haven't found yet.

the blue square is the selection window ? ive always wondered how i would go about making a perfect circle command window... and whether it can be done without having agraphic and just drawing that... maybe thats a question for the support forums ^_^
