V's Promotion System Addon

Roninator2 · Mar 22, 2018

Good day fellow Rpg'ers.

I'm wondering if someone can addon on to this script to make the promotion active for the actor when the actor has an item in the inventory.
https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/vs-promotion-system-v0-2.18875/

Using notetags.
Make it like <promotion: Level, Graphic_Name, Graphic_Index, Cost, Class, item[X]>

Thanks

I'll have a look. A few questions:
- Will they spend the item to get the promotion?
- Does every actor or promotion need to have an item? And if so, what amount of said item?
- Do you want the item to show in the scene as well?

Roninator2 · Mar 22, 2018

Yes the item is used when promoted.
Yes every actor needs an item and the item will be different for each actor.
item shown in scene would be nice, but I didn't think to do that. That also makes me think that it should not show the actor in the list of promotable if the item is not present.Just like it does for those that are not at the promotion level.

hold on that. I just found the terms of use for the script.
I need permission to modify it and use it for commercial use.

Making a separate addon for it doesn't really count as "modifying the script", so that's okay to do, unless the terms state something against this too.
Of course, if the commercial part is the issue, that can't be helped.

No worries, let me know how you get on.

Well the terms say "You are not allowed to edit any of my scripts without permission or at least attempting to do so."
So like you said if it was a separate script for the add on then I think that would be good.

@A-Moonless-Night

I found this and thought it fit in well with my plans, instead of just using yanfly class script, which I haven't really incorporated (command disabled). But I have class changes planned and was just trying to work it out by events. I had intended to use items, like the FF1 class change with the 'rat tail' kind of thing.
This script works with my project and could work well. It's a toss up of forcing a class change at a specific level or let the player carry forward.
Could work both ways with my project, because I have benefits and deficits with the class changes.

As for the commercial usage, I've contacted the writer. It's just a matter of paying for the use of it.

Roninator2 · Mar 23, 2018

It works great. Thank you so much. I adjusted the position values for what I wanted.

The script itself still has two flaws, but just have to plan it out for those things to not happen.

1. Cost to level is 1000. Party has exactly 1000 money/gold. Promotion scene will show, but cannot promote as the script wants there to be at least 1 gold left after promoting. I doubt that the party will have exactly that amount an no more, that would be silly.

2. If you were to level a character or the party several levels the game freezes. I confirmed this in V's demo.
Promotion level is set to lets say 5, and your character is at level 4; then you level up by 2. Game Freeze.
Just going to set the promotion level high enough that one battle will never advance 2 levels, and don't use level up by 2 with potions or whatever.

Again thanks, as soon as I get a hold of the author, then I'll have to pay for it.

I also fixed the method for gaining EXP, too, because that also made the game freeze.

Roninator2 · Mar 24, 2018

Thank you for that.
The exp does still freeze, at least for my game, but only when going up two levels. just like the gain level does when going past the promotion level. Otherwise it work fine. :LZYsmile:

. If I never have the player get into a battle where they would gain 50000+ exp then I will be safe for the first promotion level. It took 25000 exp to go from 49 to 50.
I commented out one line from the original script as I forgot that I changed the position value for the promotion text. It was under my JP text.
With the original script unmodified (position or commented out) I was getting "Promotable" showing up twice.
Keep up the awesome work.

A-Moonless-Night · Mar 24, 2018

~~Hmm, that's strange. It's working fine for me, no errors. Can you show me a screenshot of how you have the event set up? And can you show me which line you commented out?~~

EDIT: Wait, I see now. I was thinking of if things were manually changed by event, rather than in battle. Hang on.

EDIT: Give this one a try:

Well I actually haven't tested in battle. I was using events and setting the gain exp to be higher than what was needed to go up two levels.
I should test the battle I suppose. Have to set one up to be super exp. (not sure that would ever happen though)

Commented out line 268

Actor

Event1

event2

promote

So I would go event 1-1 -> event 1-2 (*5) -> event 2-1 -> event 1-2 (*7~8) -> event 2-2 (whatever was needed to reach max level)

A-Moonless-Night · Mar 24, 2018

Have you tried it with the version I just posted?

Roninator2 · Mar 24, 2018

I thought you got it perfect. Yes I just tested the last one you just posted.
The battle experience works perfectly, only going up to promotion level and nothing more.
The event leveling still freezes. From my pictures I did event 1-1 then 2-1 so +48 levels , then +48 levels. With promotion level at 50

*Edit, I just tested the gold part as well. You fixed that too. So it's just the event leveling that is a problem.

A-Moonless-Night · Mar 25, 2018

Had a look and I think it's freezing from having one promotion level set at level 100, where the max level is 99. I did notice another bug with it skipping one promotion, though, so let me work on that.

EDIT: Give this one a shot:
