Time and Period System

[nio kasgami]

interesting!

feature question

I can configure it for make it work like the time system in rune factory the tide of destiny like unless minute  = minute this equal second

and hour are minute so in simple in 24 h  its only equal 24 min ?

also

may have the autorisation to make it compatible with moghunter weater ex ;3 ?

He gave me permission of posting my version of it, so here we go:


weather_mog_patched_alpha.txt


But there are certain flaws I could not fix yet:


- Sometimes when a weather changes from a moghunter weather to a normal, the moghunter weather disappears instantly instead of waiting for the fade effect.


It seems to do this randomly, spent hours of watching it, sometimes it happens, sometimes it won't. No idea what causes it.


- The weather will not be memorized when a player enters an <indoor> map.


I have no idea if this was the case with the default, non-edited version of this addon, but seeing the method which is triggered when a player enters the indoor map, I would say that it was like that before initially too. But still, I am not sure, gonna test it later. Now I need a coffee!


- The fading effect for the moghunter weathers will not happen at all if it switches from a moghunter weather to another moghunter weather. No idea how could I check if the fading effect is done or not, so no idea how could this be fixed.


If you want nio, you can take look and even fix my issues, because I need to finish something else I promised for someone before I can continue to meddle with this.

Just use FRAME_COUNT = 60 in the Config Section of the Core Script

This means that the game will go one minute up every 60 frames (1 second), so you would need 60 seconds for one ingame hour and 24 minutes for one ingame day.

Great update on Khas compability, I now have dark nights with lamp posts working, and bright days... Well, bright =)

I never really saw moghunter's weather script, how does it differs with the on that already comes with the time system?

 

[Sixth]

The time system uses the default weather effects built into the Ace engine.


That means 3 weather types only (rain, storm and snow).


Moghunter's version uses custom graphics for the weather, making it possible to make fireballs rain down on the land, lights sparkling, leaves falling at autumn, good looking fog in an eerie forest, etc.


It got no limitations, you can even make your own custom graphics for it.


Watch a video of it, or just download Moghunter's master demo, it is beautiful! *-*

 

[luiscesjr]

Ah ok, I already used some of moghunter's scripts from his master demo, I didn't notice 

the weather, I thought it was just some kind of radom paralaxing =D.

It's really beautiful, but will probably lag the hell out of my project.

okai I will check this issue you probably overwrite the fade method accidently

thanks your system is just awesome just Feature optio you can add

CHanging tileset by Season like winter have snow tiles e.c.t it is just a suggestion D:

Surprisingly, it doesn't cause much lag for me.


And I use a lot of scripts too, some of them are real FPS eaters also.


But Mog's Weather EX or not, my FPS is the same.

okai I will check this issue you probably overwrite the fade method accidently

I haven't overwrite anything, not that I know of at least, just added new definitions.
You can find them by searching for "!!NEW!!" or "!!UPDATED!!" words. I always mark them with these words, so that I know what I edited and what I left as default.


Not much edit, so don't look for a lot of changes.

@Evgenij,

Do you remember when you gave me this code snipet?

    :shop_open_main => {           priority: 0,        exclude: [:shop_exclude_sat],        time: [480..1200],   # this would be from 8 am till 8 pm        days: ["Segunda", "Terça", "Quarta", "Quinta", "Sexta", "Sábado"],        months: :all,        years: :all,        switch: 150,    },    :shop_exclude_sat => {           priority: 0,        time: [780..1200],   # this would be from 1 pm till 8 pm        days: ["Sábado"],        months: :all,        years: :all,I modified a bit for the translation, and added a comma after exclude: [:shop_exclude_sat] =)

But doing this results in this.:

Any idea?

 

[Sixth]

I got a few.

Do you have a switch with ID 150 made in your game?

Another thing, you did not close the shop_exclude_sat symbol with a '}' sign.

And that same phase misses the switches line altogether, which I think was the most possible reason of you getting that error.

Just guessing frim the error, as I can't test it now.

 

[luiscesjr]

Yup, I have the switch 150 set up =) I initially thought about this too.

And, sorry I didn't copy the end of the code snipet, there is a }, there and then } ending.

I guess I understood what you meant about the phase, it's missing a switch call on

":shop_exclude_sat => { " right?

I added switch: 151, at the end of it and it worked! How could I've missed that...

Thanks.

Off-topic.: I'm working on that pickpocket system, it's really amazing the possibilities with

the scripts you mentioned!

 

[Evgenij]

The "switch: number," setting should be optional you shouldnt get any error when not using it.

I will rewrite the whole code from scratch like I currently do with the weather part of the addon and make everything easier to use and easier to setup, but I have much other things to do atm so this will happen sometime in the future.

CHanging tileset by Season like winter have snow tiles e.c.t it is just a suggestion D:

Just make a common event for every season like this:

:autumn => {           priority: 1,        time: :all,        days: :all,        months: {"September" => :all, "October" => :all, "November" => :all},        years: :all,        switch: 12,        weathers: { :no_weather   => 35,                    :weak_rain    => 15,                    :normal_rain  => 10,                    :strong_rain  => 10,                    :long_rain    => 10,                    :weak_storm   => 10,                    :normal_storm => 5,                    :strong_storm => 5,                  },        common_event: 12, # added    },This would call common event 12 every time the autumn phase starts.

In that common event you could put a tileset swap event command.

*edit*

Have looked at my code and yeah I havent made the switch part optional if you want to have it optional change this:

  def update_condition(name)    status = check_condition(name)    return if @all_phases[name] == status    $game_switches[TPS_PHASES::CONDITIONS[name][:switch]] = status    status ? add_phase(name) : remove_phase(name)    start_common_event(name) if status  endto this:

  def update_condition(name)    status = check_condition(name)    return if @all_phases[name] == status    if TPS_PHASES::CONDITIONS[name][:switch]      $game_switches[TPS_PHASES::CONDITIONS[name][:switch]] = status    end    status ? add_phase(name) : remove_phase(name)    start_common_event(name) if status  end

Can you please make <indoor> option for maps to create caves? I mean maybe <cave> tag for creating caves where there is no weather and no tints except one (configurable dark screen)? Thank you!

And it would be two indoor options <indoor> and <cave>, would be so helpful for me.

Ps. Now I've put some additional code (switch on/off) to achive this, but if you'll add <cave> tag I'll be happy to change it ^^

  def refresh_indoor_tone    if $game_switches[38] == false then     $game_map.set_screen_tone(Tone.new(0,0,0,0), 0)    else     $game_map.set_screen_tone(Tone.new( 0, -34, -68, 34), 0)    end   end
