Need help understanding this

[Lyseth]

So I literally just bought an expansion for RPGM VX ACE, but I'm having trouble understanding how to do something like in the picture, how do I do this?

(Where you see the characters portrait, that's what I want to do.)

 

[Shaz]

What is "an expansion for VX Ace"? Tell us what it is - give us a link so we can see.


This is not posted in the right place, but without knowing what you're using, I'm not sure where it belongs. I would GUESS that your "expansion" is Luna Engine? That information would be helpful.

 

[Lyseth]

Sorry, here's the link,

As shaz said above, if you want something like the screenshot (the ring menu for example) you'll need a script in addition to the resources you have purchased.

The resources themselves can be used and displayed with the show picture command or as faces in text messages.

To give more specific answers, you need to tell us what part from that picture you want in your game.

 

[Lyseth]

The ring menu, that's what it was, couldn't remember what to call it.

 

[Shaz]

Okay, you need a script. So I'll move this to RGSS3 Script Requests. But you can search yourself too - I know there are at least one or two ring menu scripts available.

DS+

http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/graphics/rpg-maker-ds-plus-resource-pack

is an extension of DS

http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/a/graphics/ds-resource-pack

as far as i can tell from the description, DS is the one containing the scripts. But i can't be sure if the battle hud you want is included.

Have you checked the sample project that came with the bundle?

But since they are selling the product with that picture shown, you have all the rights to ask them about the infos of where and how to get your hands on the script and materials to reproduce that scene(by law) unless it's written in the agreement. You might want to try contact the seller first since they should have a copy of the script you need.

edit:

and this tread should go to product support since this is a product selling issue imo.

Uh, they don't give out the option to contact the seller.

I am not sure if it works since you bought it from Amazon and not directly from rpgmakerweb here.

But you can try the general support here:

https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/support

Or, since you are a purchasing customer, you can try the sales support here

https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/support/contact-us/sales

I am not sure about the amazon part, but there's a Customer Questions & Answers box right below the page you linked.

You can also launch a complaint to haste things up(to get the seller's notice to get faster support), since you get the right to review the product as a purchaser, i am sure they will respond to you as soon as possible.

You might also want to check the forum under Tech-Support to see if similar questions are asked there:

There's a forum board for the Resource Packs itself too:

This thread is already in the correct forum, as the OP is looking for a script that can use the resources.


OP, WE are the sellers of that pack and provide support for it. Have you looked for a ring menu script, as I suggested? If you are having trouble, continue to seek help in THIS thread, rather than starting new ones in other places.


If you want a ring menu, you will need a script. It's that simple.

I know I need a script, but I don't wanna have to install other programs, also I'm looking for a script just like the one in the picture, where it shows which character is awaiting a decision.

 

[Shaz]

So then we'll leave this here in Script Requests, which is the place to post when you're looking for a script. You still haven't said whether you've searched or not yet. There is a huge Master Script List that contains (I think) a couple of ring menu scripts.

Why do you think I was idle for 2-3 days? I spent that time searching with no avail.

 

[Shaz]

The only conclusion that can be drawn by your being idle for 2-3 days is that you were idle for 2-3 days. There could be a hundred different reasons for that. The only way we could know you have been looking is for you to actually say you have been looking. Which you did not do.


Here's what I found in less than 5 minutes, and there are more.

I am just downloading the pack now, and the bonus pack, to see if there is a script in either of them. It's going to take a while.

I tried googling it, there goes me screwing up again. *facepalm*

And you really can't say I didn't look, just because I didn't find it, the only problem was, I looked in the wrong place.

 

[Shaz]

If you find any that are close (and it doesn't really look like any of those are), you could post a link to it and ask for minor changes to be done.


I have to start my download again as my computer just crashed. I'll get back to you and let you know what I've managed to find as soon as the download is finished - but there are 2 files, and it was telling me it was going to take a couple of hours.

@Shaz: Yup, better check them, both the txt scripts and the sample projects too. If the pack is selling with that picture, it at least need a sample project that reproduce that battle scene in the pack, else it'll be cheating and will cause further problems(legal issues) in the future.

If it's only trying to promote the battler's graphic, it should simply use the default battle scene and not something the pack doesn't contains.

Remind the marketing/web team to replace that picture if you can't find those contents in the pack to eliminate future problems.

Well there's one sample project that requires some kinda text thing, but I can't open it.

By can't open, do you mean you can't play the sample or can't open it in the rm editor?

Have you tried open the Game.rvproj2 using the Rmvx ace editor?

A quick and lazy way to do it is double click Game.rvproj2, and when asked by window which program to use to open the file, navigate to the folder you installed RMVX Ace editor and choose RPGVXAce.exe.

When that's done, you should be able to open any projects simply by double clicking the Game.rvproj2 in their folder next time.

edit:

If you can't play the sample, you might want to check your DEP settings. As far as i know, DEP only blocks older game.exe from versions before Ace.

It's the one in the "Zalerinian" folder, it says, "unable to find VL Gothic font" when I try to open the project in RPGM
