 Mostly available during the weekends.  I have little time to reply to messages and the like during the week.

Released a new version of the script that fixes some major lag issues.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

can you make it work on the default resolution??? forcing the user to use a 640x480 resolution just to use this is not nice... you can even just make it resolution "independent" via calculating things using the graphics.width and .height values

 

[AwesomeCool]

I actually wish I could. But with the current way the menu works, I can't fit everything on the screen.  I tried working with the default resolution and it was hard to fit all the details in.  If I find a way, I will do it.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

then maybe make it scroll? or make some items smaller... or hide some windows when they're not needed (if there are any) so that you can overlap them with other windows...


I'm sure you'll find a way...

 

[AwesomeCool]

I would have to make the selected window scroll (or re-size the faces if possible) and move the fuse button to a popup (and put the fuse help window info to the top window) and it will probably work.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

I think resize... you can always stretch_blt them into a smaller rect if you need to make them smaller without editing the actual files...

May you please give me an example of adding note tags using "\n".

I keep getting a syntax error.

Edit:

I also found a bug. Fusable actors that are not in the active battle party don't have a portrait in the fusion menu. You can still select them, but they don't have a face graphic.

This is in the demo and I edited nothing.

 

[AwesomeCool]

An example:

          ["note", "<fuseable: Brenda> \n <awesome>"],

 

If you are still getting a syntax error it might be a compatibility problem.

 

If so list your scripts and I will try and make them compatible.

 

[Shrouded In Myth]

I'm no longer getting a syntax error, thanks!

In your demo, I added 2, "Slime", "Slime" to one of the fusions you had in there already and when I catch the 2 slimes and try to fuse them they do not appear. What appears to be happening is that either the notetags aren't loading into the newly created actor or maybe it just don't work unless you already had notetags in the database. Also if you have two actors called Terrence, and a fusion requires Terrence & Terrence, it also does not work because it only recognizes one of them.

I believe I found out that you cannot fuse two of the same actors together recently,  I will work on fixing that.

For the slime problem, I didn't know that was an issue and will work on that also.

Might I make a suggestion then , instead of using the note tags, why not just make it fuse based on class id's. For example, Class ID #3 = Slime

Based on your equation, 2, 3, 3 would result in lets say Class ID #4 aka King Slime. I mean your system is really what I've been looking for a while, but because ther was never something like this, I simply made one out of events using never ending lines of if statements/conditionals.

Heres a snippet of the unending conditional statements that I use:

It works similar to the arrays you setup when looking at what combinations you make for your result. Only difference is my code is just a scripted version of if statements.

($game_party.battle_members[1].class_id == 6 or$game_party.battle_members[1].class_id == 8 or$game_party.battle_members[1].class_id == 12 or$game_party.battle_members[1].class_id == 19)and($game_party.battle_members[2].class_id == 147 or$game_party.battle_members[2].class_id == 148 or$game_party.battle_members[2].class_id == 152 or$game_party.battle_members[2].class_id == 161 or$game_party.battle_members[2].class_id == 164 or$game_party.battle_members[2].class_id == 168)

I mostly did not do it that way so you could have multiple actors come from the same class and with that way you would have a limited amount of monsters that you could get.  But, I will look into it.

If it helps, there was a similar system to this in regular VX, located here. Don't know if you can use it as reference

 

[Sophien]

So... are the bugs fixed?

 

[AwesomeCool]

not yet (I have been very busy with school).  I will get to it soon though.

 

[Nunzio Zizzania]

Hello there, I'm here to tell you that I found an error in Dropbox. It is about your files. If You don't believe me, see for yourself.

 

[AwesomeCool]

link fixed

 

[Nunzio Zizzania]

And what about the master demo link?
