Introduction
Ever needed a script  that adds a new layer of RPG to your games? Then you're in luck! This script adds a feature that many modern RPGs have and that is Factions! I've decided to release this beautiful script by Wavelength to the public because I felt that it would be great for some games that need the extra bit of "Guild-ness". (Is that even a word? Lol.)

Features

• Faction Menu (In the Pause Scene)
• NEW! Faction Description
• Support for up to 12 Factions.
• Faction Names and Reputation Values. 
• Icons for Factions
• Faction Ranks
• Faction-Based Dialogue Options (Depending on your rank, dialogue changes.)
• "Joined Faction" Pop-Up.

#   reputation you want to change and value is, well, value by which you want to
#   increase the reputation (use negative value if you want to subtract

Oh, thank you. I've been thinking of doing a game based on a game or an mmo. This'll help.

Your welcome. Glad the script could be of use!

Very cool script. I do not think there is a script like this

Thanks! There is a reputation script, but there hasn't really been a Faction system like this one.

It's a great script

Just a question,

as well as a Game Variable that will automatically store  #   your current Reputation Rank with that Faction.Can I change the reputation rank to reputation values?

So like when the Faction "Alpha" have 40 Reputation you will get event A but when you have 41 reputation you will get "Beta". I know I can do that from rank by adding new rank but I think it's not effective.

You can set that up I believe. I think that you could trigger an event using a simple [ If reputation value = 40 then so and so happens.... ] Because Reputation rank changes based on the value.

I'm pretty sure that it can be done that way.

I'm not 100% of this answer, but I'm quite sure about it.

I have been trying it just now but looks like I can't do that because the stored number in variable is based on rank not reputation values

My experiment :

I have three ranks and it's the number of rank (ID rank) is number 1, 2 and 3

Number 1 need 10 reputation, number 2 need 50 reputation number 3 need 100 reputation. I make an event to increase first faction reputation to 50

I try to use conditional branch and set it to variable 1 (First faction) equal to 50 and nothing happens when I try it in the game

From the my experiment I'm pretty sure the variable only store the number of rank (ID Rank) in the script and that's where I'm asking can I change it to store values not ID number?

You can add this for a scripted conditional branch:

$game_system.rep_val[$game_system.rep_name.index(name)] >= valueReplace 'name' in the brackets with your faction's name. This is a string, so you must put the name between " signs!
Replace 'value' with the value you want to check for.


Replace '>=' with the desired checking method's operand (can be: ==, >, <, >=, <=).


Example:

$game_system.rep_val[$game_system.rep_name.index("The Rebels")] >= 65This check will return true if the faction named "The Rebels" got at least 65 points. Otherwise, it returns false.
But wow, it got a method named 'check_rep(name,var)' which got nothing to do with actual checking of the reputation values. How... unusual.


@Keniisu

Spoiler

Btw, there are other faction systems out there for sure, I know about a public one. You can't really claim it as an "original idea", because, honestly, it isn't. Just saying.
The foundation of this whole script is based on XIV's script (which I believe is based on other well-known games), and that script alone does most of the job, not this add-on. While this addon is certainly nice with all the bug-fixes and some additional changes, it is still just an addon, and most of the concept comes from XIV. Changing the name from "Reputation System" to "Faction System" won't change that fact.


Judging by your last line in the opening post, you even want to sell this addon for commercial usage, which is just wrong, in my opinion. Basically, you are asking money for bug-fixes and an additional icon and text in the scene. If you want to ask money for a script, you should make it from scratch, or at least add a bunch of new innovative stuffs in it, not just simple bug-fixes and minor display changes.


This is my opinion only, you are of course, free to do whatever you want with your scripts, but if I were you, I would make a more realistic ToS for this script for sure.

Ah...I will try this soon when I'm on my laptop but I think this will work

Thanks for the help

 

[Keniisu]

Thanks for helping him out with the issue @Sixth.   I appreciate that you could help him find a solution to his problem.

I have added a poll to the thread asking what you would like to see added to the script, but I will add couple other features to the script as well so don't worry! 

I appreciate the support for the script and I am glad everyone is enjoying it so far! 

 

[Alistair]

That's an interesting script, thank you.

Thanks. It's pretty interesting and what I have planned is going be even more interesting.
