I have a character who fights with a whip, but the whip doesn't show when she attacks.


D: I don't know what to do.


edit: strange. I noticed that, though she should start with the weapon equipped... she doesn't have the weapon. and the game can't show something she isn't wielding.

1. does she have the whip equipped?


2. is she doing an attack or using a skill?


3. is her weapon set up with the correct weapon type?


4. is the weapon type linked with Whip in the System tab?


5. is there actually a whip image in the appropriate Weapons?.png file in the System folder?


6. are you using any plugins, and if so, does the issue still happen with all the plugins disabled?  Does the issue still happen in a brand new project with no plugins?

  1. no (which is odd, as she should start with the damn thing.)
  2. basic attack
  3. yes
  4. yes
  5. yes (the standard one)
  6. i'd have to check.

well, if she doesn't have it equipped, that could be the reason ;)


Are you playing a saved/resumed game, or starting a new game?  If you had started a game when she didn't have it equipped by default, then saved it, then changed the database to give her the whip in the Actors tab, you would need to start a new game for that to take effect - a previously saved game would have all the starting equipment saved and would not look at the database.


Also when you add her to the party (unless she's in the starting party already), make sure you check the Initialize box.

initialize wasn't checked, and well... i just started a new game and it works fine now. :)  sorry to trouble you and thanks for the assist.


and initialize doesn't mean that they start from level 1 with fresh stats then?

"Initialize" means that they are set to the database base values - which can be different from level 1 depending on what you place in your database.

I thought leaving it unchecked might start them at level 1 with no gear, but it doesn't.  There doesn't seem to be a difference between checking and unchecking the first time you add them to the party.  So that option must be for if they leave after a while (after gaining EXP, levels, skills and other equipment), if you want to set them back to their starting state.


So I suspect your problem was simply that you were playing a saved game that was started when the weapon wasn't a part of her starting equipment.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
