Shared Storage V 2.40

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

Bloodmorphed explained it. Its for games where you want to separate the storages for the items, weapons and armors for some reason. Like if you want different headers, or maybe different backgrounds. You could always make separate events or an event that lets you choose which to open, but then it will be easier if the user can simply press a button to switch.


There would probably only be a few rare cases when you'd do that, but I decided to place it there anyways just in case.

If that's the case, it should be for a VERY EXTENDED game like a MMORPG or something. But in my case, this script with Theo's Limited Inventory was already a great combination

Very good script, thanks a lot for it!

People using Yanfly's Ace Adjust Limit script will get an error if they push the confirm button on the withdraw item list when the list is empty.

To fix that, find this line:

return numb < $game_party.max_item_number(item)And replace it with this one:

return numb < $game_party.max_item_number(item) if item != nilIf you are using the main script only, without the addon, you do this in the main script.
If you use the addon too, you need to do this in the addon script only.

And about the icons, everybody can place any icon there with Yanfly's Command Window Icons script without any scripting knowledge within seconds.
But nevertheless, if you want, you can make an option for that too.

Nevermind the below crossed things. I managed to find it.
And I got a question...
How the heck can I modify the item name display's width?
I am using a randomizer script, which adds random affixes to items, and those affix names are not counted in with the real item name's width, which in turn cuts almost all of my randomized item's name.
Kinda annoying.
Tried to find the lines for it in the script, but couldn't. >.>

Here is a screenshot to show what I mean:


Ohh, and I almost forgot...
Any chance of adding gold to the possible categories?
That would help a lot of people, I guess.

Just when I thought everything works fine, I noticed something which breaks the entire point of me wanting this system. >.>

So, I use Vlue's Weapon/Armor Randomizer script for random bonuses on equipment. 

The storage stores them just fine, all the way until I start a new game and try the storage. 

When I do that, the random items are there, but instead of staying on the same affixes, they have been re-randomized with new affixes. This happens only when I start a new game, and want to access an existing storage within that new game.

If I load a game instead, the affixes stay the same inside the storage.

But the point why I wanted to use this script is to allow players to change the rare and epic stuff with their other characters through storage chests (I guess everybody have seen a feature like this in countless RPG games). And for that, the player need to start a new game. 

So, what is the difference between a new game storage load and a load game storage load? Why would it change only at new game loading? o.o

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

As far as I understand Vlue's work, he creates new items when you randomize the affixes and that is saved along with your save file. I'm sure those values doesn't persist thru different saves, and that is why you're getting the affixes re-randomized when you open a new game.


We could re-save the modified weapons and armor database, but that wouldn't really be ideal IMO.

 

[Killok]

amazing script!!!!!!

I would love to see a feature where it requires gold to withdraw an item

almost like a pseudo-auction house!

Thinking about it. Possibly when I have time, I have other things on priority list right now.

Hmmm... Maybe an add-on, no guarantees.

 

[Killok]

no guarantees

but, but, but... 

 

[Kuro Neko]

Eh??? It will re-randomize the weapon stat when load another save? It's a pity that my game do the same as sixth's, so this gonna be... bad...

If you can, please make a compability version for us. (of course if you want and when you're free, it don't want to force people)

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

@Kuro - You're also using Vlue's script?


I don't really do compatibility requests. And I would need to modify the way the game handles saving and loading so that instead of loading the weapons and armors the way Vlue's does it, I would save and load them into another file. As of now I can't do it as I have other things in my priority list.

To fix that, find this line:

return numb < $game_party.max_item_number(item)

And replace it with this one:

return numb < $game_party.max_item_number(item) if item != nil

This also occurs while depositing no items in inventory no items in bank

Yes, i'm using VLue's, too. Ah, feel free to do your work.

Btw, maybe if you don't think of it as a compability fix, but an add-on to keep weapons/armors as its original shape when stored into storage by saving their info into another save data? Because maybe not only VLue's, someone may use another way to change their W/A parametes which only affect their only save. This add-on will be very helpful.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

It's still for compatibility, because unless you edit the original scripts, there's no way that the items in the database will be different during gameplay.


Also, if I add that, you need to ensure that you'll only use it once the game is finished. Else any updates to the database won't reflect since you already have saved the weapons and armors differently (this would also happen I think to Vlue's in case you load an already saved game after editing the database)


It's one of the main reasons why I don't prefer saving the database objects into the save file or any other file.

It's fine. There's still some other way to balance the game, like, change the enemies stat.

My W/A have already balanced with each other (for now) so i'm gonna gambling and accepting the risk.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

Try this one, not sure if it works. If it does work, use at your own risk. Once you place it and it's active, any database edits to your weapons and armors won't reflect. You could just try it once and see if it works then disable it and delete the external file and just re-activate the script right before you ship out the game.

Now i'm out, i'll be home 1 hours later and test it AFAP.

Btw, that mean, as long as the W/A save data exist, all W/A data from database will remain unchangable, and delete the W/A savedata will allow changing database. Or as long as the script remain, no matter if W/A save data remain or not, the database will be unchangable?

And, if i play the game, save, then change the database and start the new game. Will the new game have the database after change, only the save from before remain unchanged, or both new game and save unchanged?

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

Both new game and save game will use the new W/A save file, so changes from the database won't work on both. Which is why I suggest that you just install it for testing, and when you're sure that it works, remove the script first (or disable it via selecting the script, select all then hit ALT+Q) and delete the data file for the W/A first. Then just reinstall/reactivate the script when you're about to ship the game


At least, that's the theory behind it. XD


Anyway, this is probably as far as I would go for the problem (assuming the snippet will work as intended)

 

[Kuro Neko]

The game crash with this bug when i tried to test it. (Tested on a new project with only your shared storage and VL's, and tested both the compability fix above or below other scripts).

Edit: oops, look like you wrong type load to oad. After i retype it to load, i now can test the game. Now i'm gonna see if it's work or not.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

yeah, a typo. XD


I'd post it on the OP just in case, probably with a disclaimer. XD

 

[Kuro Neko]

It worked well! You sure don't want to make this as an add-on for your shared storage?

 

[Sixth]

Oww, thanks for that snippet!

It works like a charm! *-*

So, aside from saving weapon and armor databases elsewhere, this doesn't change anything else, right?

I suppose I must put this snippet below any other custom scripts which can alter the equips, right?

Thanks again for the quick solution!

You surely work fast even when you got no time for it.
