$TEST Overwrite
Dekita
 ​
Features:

So, as some of the more advanced may already know, the $TEST variable holds the boolean for whether your game is being playtested or not.
 

As other may know, by using the 'command ine' to open an rpg maker game, you can add the command 'test' that will begin playtest mode. This obviously is not ideal as regular players could potentially use this to gain access to areas of the game they should not be permitted.
 

Anyway, this script changes the value of $TEST.
 

When using this script your game will not be in $TEST mode unless a specific command line argument is supplied. This can be any phrase you wish. There is also the option to automatically add this argument to your command line -WHICH SHOULD BE DISBALED FOR YOUR GAMES RELEASE !!
 

I have also introduced a new value that can be checked as well. This value is DEK::gm? and will return true / false based on whether the GM_Argument is specified.
 

Screenshots:

Notice, the command line arguments are more than just 'test'. This is because new argz are being provided to the game at runtime that change the value of $TEST.



How To Use:

Plug 'n' Play

Demo:

Can be found HERE.

Script:

FAQ:

None Yet.

Notes:

Remember, this will overwrite the value of $TEST - so if the new vaue of$TEST is not true certain information may not print to the console and you will not be able to use features such as 'hold ctrl to go through stuff'

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
