Thanks, just what I'm looking for.

 

[kaboth]

apparently it needs some compatibility....

@kaboth: Did you select a valid graphics file?

 

[kaboth]

oops, I'll do that now

@kaboth: Did you select a valid graphics file?

Fixed, thanks for the needed plugin and help

 

[Nicke]

No problem. I will probably continue updating it with new features. I am mainly thinking of adding so you can dive, like in Zelda. Very cool things can be done if so.

 

[Josue Castillo]

Excellent, nice initiative. Will test it once I have time, but for now, THUMBS UP!

 

[Nicke]

@Josue Castillo: Thank you!

I've updated this plugin to version 1.1 and the core plugin to 1.2. Please install those because if you are using RPG Maker MV version 1.5.1 it might not work as intended.

@Nicke Nice plugin.
But, can you add the feature so that, one can use notetags in Class/Actor eg: <Swim: yes> to enable certain type of Character swim (of course it should be in Leaders Position).
Like it can be Used in Monster type Games (for Water type monsters).

Second, can you add a optional system. so that Character animations are bit (40%~50% of sprites) chopped off from bottom while swiming, rather than using a separate sprite. Like what MV does by default for the Bush Tiles (chops off 10% of character sprites)

Whereas its just an idea, I know it may be difficult done then said.

this would be great if it worked with followers

Hi @Nicke. I have some trouble setting up your plugin. I have download Core and Swim and installed them (Swim below Core). Made sure the terrain tag is the same number as in the plugin. Made the tile passable. And yet, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Same, the plugin doesn't work at all. Set up the terrain tag, the switch and custom graphic, and nothing happens...

When looking at the console, it seems to be trouble with Hirion Core's version.

Me too.. Plz Help :C

 

[Nicke]

Hello, yeah I haven't had the time to look into why this is not working. I hope I will be able to sort out a fix as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenient.

 

[Reptalia1994]

no problem, I will wait quietly xD, from here to have a specific demo of my game I think you would have the solution hahahaha

 

[LeoHalliwell]

Hey, so I haven't installed the plugin yet, or given it a try, but I'm wondering if this would work properly with SRD Character Creator EX. As the player would have their own custom character, I would think it would be more difficult to put a swimming sprite in, no? I'm not very good with programming, albeit it is something I'm going to have to teach myself soon.

Any update on the status of this plugin?

 

[dragon1up]

n will be played when entering water/going out.

Have set it up as per required, but the terrain is still unmovable and the player doesn't swim around at all for some reason, any guides to set it up correctly ?

Would greatly be appreciated.
