EoFF RPG: Take #382

[Rase]

EDITED DUE TO NEW VERSION

Okay, well, it seems that EoFF has had more RPG's about it than Final Fantasy itself. Of course, only one (http://www.eyesonff.com/members/wiki/Articles/EoFFSickIrony) (that I know of) was ever actually, you know, finished, but that's beside the point, which is that I have finally decided to have a go at it.
Now, before you all go "Ha, this will never get off of the ground", well HA to you, because it already has. Over the past two days four days (Spring break = :heart: ) I have secretly been working on this, due to a sudden strike of severe boredom roughly 2 hours into my Spring Break. What do I have to show for it? A little, 15-20 min 45-60 min demo type thingie. An RPG, that's what. Think of it as a storyboard type thing, laying out the basic foundation without all the bothersome flash and dazzle. That stuff will (hopefully) come later.
Anyway, as I'm sure you're all dying to see it, here are links to the two files you will need.
Rpg Maker XP Postailty Knights Edition Enhanced (http://sparelimited.com/rase/RPG%20Maker%20XP%20v1.01%20-%20Postality%20Knights%20Edition%20v2.0%20ENHANCED.zip)
Current Version (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20RPG%20-%20Why%20Noobs%20Can%20Be%20Important.zip)

Steps:
NOTE: The screens shown here were from EoFF v2.0. Everything is the same now, just the folder will be EoFF v2.1, and so on.
1. Simply download the above files and extract them using WinZip.
2. Install Rpg Maker XP Postailty Knights Edition Enhanced
3. Cut/Copy the EoFF v2.1 folder from wherever you put it.
4. Go to your C: Drive (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/1.jpg) and click Games.
5. Click the only folder in there (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/2.jpg).
6. Click the Games folder (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/3.jpg).
7. Paste the EoFF v2.1 folder in the Games folder, like so (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/4.jpg).
8. Open the folder and click the Game icon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/5.jpg).

Okay, there you go, I think I covered everything. As for any last questions:
No, I don't think it's amazingly good.
Yes, I am proud of it.
Yes, I do plan on actually going through with it.
No, I won't gurantee that I will.
No, I don't know if it is or will be better than Sick Irony, as I've never played that. However, the odds seem heavily against me, so I'll just go with no on that one.

After you're done, feel free to post/PM me any ideas, or corrections for any errors I made. If you have trouble getting the game to work, PM me and I'll try and help you figure it out.

If a mod or admin sees this and deems it worthy, it'd be great if it was stickied. More people playing = more ideas = me being more willing to go through with this.

[oddler]

It glitched after a couple screens into the intro...
Sorry...

One mistake I found was that it's "bear with me" not "bare with me"
Just throwing that out there.

If you get it going though, I'll be sure to try it out.

[Jebus]

Tried to download the game file and it said "Document not found"

-Edit- There it is.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Oh man, I hope when/if you put me in it you made it awesome.

[Psychotic]

The XP files are downloading now! And well done on pre-empting the Sick Irony whines. Sick Irony was alright, but unless you're an extremely old oldbie, (there's about 4 of them left) you won't get most of the humour.

[Rase]

Oh man, I hope when/if you put me in it you made it awesome.

While you are not currently in it, I have plans to have you, along with at least fifty other well-known members, along with a host of "forgotten" members, make at least cameo appearances, if not more. Right now I'm more focused on making sure this is playable, since it seems oddler had a problem.

[Hawkeye]

Make Psychotic the crack whore so all my dreams can come true in this game!

[XxSephirothxX]

Making an RPG takes a lot of dedication, and I hope you go through with it, man.:p Mine's kind of stalled right now, and it's especially hard to get going because I'm trying to make it funny. And I'm not that great at being funny. It's not EoFF Based, though.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the lot of us. ;)
*Downloads*

[Jebus]

That was great. Looking forward to the finished bit.

*hopes chat is involved inthe final game so he gets to be in it*

Aops > CKs anyway.

[Rase]

For any wanting to see what it looks, I decided to make a few screenies. :D Unless you've never seen RPG Maker Xp before, you probably won't be too amazed, but whatever.

[Psychotic]

Okay, when I opened it, it gave an error saying Graphics\Titles\EoFF Title could not be found. I fixed that one just by making the aforementioned file.

Anyway, that was pretty neat. It had some clever ideas as to putting the forums into RPG format. Maybe this stuff is spoilers, so:

When it asked us for a user name, and he replied "Psychotic", you had me believing for a second that it knew who had downloading it and was playing it.

WAHAHAHAHHA BEHOLD THE VOID IS AN OLD MAN!

EoEO has to feature a conservatives vs liberals war. It simply has to!

I did notice a couple of grammatical errors, but I didn't write them down. Sorry. Someone else will pick up on them though. :D

[Erdrick Holmes]

Umm, I thought RPG Maker made battles have a side view, like in the FF games. This is First person, like in Dragon Warrior.

[Rase]

I believe RPG Maker 2000 did it in the DW format, 2003 in the FF format, and now XP is back to the DW format.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Which is easier to program? 2k3 or XP?

[Rase]

For scripting, I don't know, I don't handle that stuff. In general, I'd say you would probably have an easier time using RPG Maker 2k3, if only for the fact that, since it's older, there are a ton of tutorials for it and plenty of experienced people who know what their doing and are willing to help. A good place for 2k3 tutorials is Gaming World, which also has forums devoted to helping people with these and other game making programs.

[DK]

And well done on pre-empting the Sick Irony whines. Sick Irony was alright, but unless you're an extremely old oldbie, (there's about 4 of them left) you won't get most of the humour.

QFT, nice that you shot those down already.

Looking pretty sweet, man. I hope you manage to get everything completed. :D

[Markus. D]

I will try it right now (has rmxp enterbrain edition ;))

[Wuggly Blight]

We get alot of these, Its a shame not many come to fruit, Ive had like, a million urges to start a chain game of my own.

[Rase]

Okay, well, I managed to get Eyes on Each Other finished today. I just finished playing it through, and for me it worked fine. I've updated the link in my initial post, so the game file link will download the current version. I believe that, if you have a Save file from the v2.0, you can simply copy and paste is to the folder for v2.1 and it should work, but I'm not positive.

Additions to v2.1
Actual dungeon, centered around the EoEo forum
A few new Skills
Six new pieces of equipment
Five new enemies
Two new bosses
A few more cameos
A little more to the actual storyline

Just as a reminder, ANY ideas for cameos, in-jokes, items/weapons/armor/skills, etc. is welcome. I won't guarantee that I will use it, but I would definetly like more ideas from other people, so it feels more like EoFF as a whole, not like EoFF form my point of view only. Other then that, enjoy, as the next update will probably be a while coming, what with school and AP testing coming up. :( Plus, I want it to be good, and it'll be my first attempt at creating a town, along with another dungeon, so it may take me a while to get it right.

Finally, I can see a problem arising in the future. My current hosting site (Yahoo Groups) allows a maximum of 20 MB of files on there, and I'm already pushing 5 MB. If you know of any other file hosting sites with a greater amount storage space, yet still free, I would appreciate it if you PM me a link. Thanks.

*prays the file still works and doesn't act all stupid and crap*

[Old Manus]

I am loving it

[Rase]

Another little batch of screenshots from v2.1, mainly to try and intice people to play.

Eyes on Each Other = Requisite Fire Dungeon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/EoEo.jpg)

Behold the Void's "Restrict Privileges" is the only skill you'll learn that hits all enemies, and it has a side effect of lowering an enemies Dexterity by 50% for a few turns. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/Restrict.jpg)

As expected, certain Skills are effective against diifferent monsters, like 'Void's "Chill Out" against fire monsters. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/Battle2.jpg)

Weapons can also do extra damage depending on the enemy. Rase's guns have a bonus against flying enemies, for example. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/Effective.jpg)

Like Psychotic said, EoEo needed a little conservative vs. liberal battle. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/War1.jpg)

Can you guess which side is which? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/War2.jpg)

edczxcvbnm makes a brief appearance in EoEo. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/ed.jpg)

You may find rare stat-improving items throughout the game. Decide who to use them on wisely. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/StatEnhance.jpg)

Be sure to stock up on Rest Stations before you try and take on EoEo, or you may end up regretting it. Or maybe not, I don't know (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/RyanStage/RPG%20Maker/Rest.jpg)

Also, as a final note, if I included you in this little game and you a) don't want to be in it or b) don't like how you're portrayed or your lines or something, feel free to PM me and let me know. It'd be especially helpful if you could provide an idea of what your lines should be or how you should be portrayed (within reason). Thanks. :)

[Ryth]

I don't know if you implemented this yet or something or not butyou should have a graveyard level where you have to fight EotW, Feedback, Baloki, or Linus or something as a boss...something like that.

[oddler]

OK, just finished playing. Thanks for helping me to get it working. Very interesting I must say!

[Rase]

No need for spoilers if it's just a suggestion for something in future versions, only if it's about something in the current one. :)
Good ideas, I'll be sure to consider them. :)

No problem, thanks for taking the time to play it.

[Jebus]

The link to the new version isn't working. It's the same problem as last time.

[Rase]

Okay, it should be fixed.

I don't know why, but Yahoo seems to keep changing my files address thing. Hopefully this problem will be solved soon, as Azar has agreed to let me host this on his server for a while.

[Psychotic]

It isn't fixed, though. :( I'll just wait for good ol' Azar to upload it.

Anyway, you inspired me to dig up the old BAoTW game I was making on RPG2k. It's actually pretty terrible in places, but it's also pretty sublime in places, too. So thanks. You were an NPC in it, Rase!

[Rase]

Okay, you know what, stupid Yahoo Groups thing, I'll make you work one way or another... :mad:

Here (http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/rstage89/files/) is a link to the page that has my files, rather than a link idrectly to it. Just click the EoFF v2.1 file and it should work.

EDIT: I updated the first post. Thanks to Azar for allowing me to host from his site. :D

Cool, thank you. :)

[Wuggly Blight]

Pfft, I prefer rm2k3 to 2k or xp I have like, a zillion old projects on there.

Anyway heres my - dum dum dum... review!:
Music Score:
Not much really new here, Mostly rtp, Used well though but unfortunatly its pretty generic from other RTP XP games.
4/10

Battles:
Generic, no real scripts. Points for imginative attacks though and using some well used none rtp enemies.
4/10

Graphics:
Again mostly RTP, although finding consistant maps for XP is hard, granted. Map usage seems to be rather basic, with little detail.
2/10

Side Quests/Games:
Not to many here really
0/10

Storyline:
Not done as far as Ive seen, so its fairly original. Last game I saw with this setting with Endless Thread and that was still a very diffrent story from whats used here, extra 2 points for creativity.
However, It did have a bit of X syndrone, Alot of it was reevaled to early, and it was abit flat.
4/10

Characters:
Seeing how there mostly based on real people makes this hard to rank really, so I'll give it a 7/10.

Overall: 21/60
Good concepts, needs some work though.

[Rase]

Well, I appreciate the review. The graphics, music, and battles, yeah, I think I mentioned this earlier, or at least implied it, but I don't plan on making anything from scratch for this. I may run around the net and get some midi's or monster sprites, but I've seen slim pickings in the other areas (maps, battle backgrounds, etc.), so I'd rather stay with the consistent yet generic RTP ones. Mainly, the game is really EoFF first, RPG second, so it's not going to be a super flashy amazing game. It's appeal will (hopefully) just come from the references to EoFF and the internet in general. As a stand alone RPG, I think I might score it less than you did, since if you had no clue about EoFF you wouldn't get things like battling Sasquatch and The Redneck in EoEo or Mirel being sad that they haven't found Del Murder yet. But yeah, thanks for giving it a go. Hopefully the storyline and EoFF service will be able to make up for the lack of originality when it's finished, we'll have to see.

[Giga Guess]

LAWL! I'm the shopkeeper. Kinda cool!

[Psychotic]

Mainly, the game is really EoFF first, RPG second, so it's not going to be a super flashy amazing game. It's appeal will (hopefully) just come from the references to EoFF and the internet in general. Okay, based on that, and having played 2.1, I'm going to suggest a couple of things.

- Knock the random encounter rate down.
- Decrease the difficulty of enemies and bosses.

The encounter rate is higher than in FF, and what's everyone's least favourite part of FF? Random freakin' encounters. Ouch ouch ouch.

I was so close to dying against Sasquatch (you died, Rase!) after fighting him for so long, and one of my remaining characters, kikimm, was useless (attacks did 0, no more SP, no more items) and I think I pretty much defeated him based on luck. When I replay this whenever v2.2 comes out, I will probably lose to him. :( Also, random encounters were generally harder and took more rounds to kill than FF random encounters, in my view.

So as you say, its appeal will come from EoFF references, and not the extremely hard boss fights. If they wanted a challenge, they'd probably go and play FF itself. However, if you desperately want to make a game that takes some real time and effort to beat, maybe make a hard mode, and an easy mode for schmucks like me who just want to see the EoFF references. If you can only make one difficulty though (as I imagine it'd take twice the amount of work) then I recommend just having an easy mode. But hey, that's my opinion, and it's your game.

[Rase]

Your absolutely right Psychotic. Actually, I was about to ask about the difficulty when I released v2.2, but now I know to tone it down before then. Hopefully it will be more manageable in the next version. :)

Oh, and sorry for dying on you. :sweat: In v2.2 I've thrown in a spell and potion for reviving your allies. :) Not sure why I didn't think about that earlier...

EDIT: Just got done going through everything and toning it down. The next version will be easier in the following areas:
All enemies stats have been lowered by as little as one-sixth and as much as one-half.
Item and equipment costs are lowered.
Encounter rate lowered significantly.
Weapons recieved a boost in strength.
Able to buy Pump Up Potions (Life Potions) from Giga Guess in Cid's Headquarters

:)

[Giga Guess]

For the record, when Giga Points turned out to be the currency, I lawled.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I liked that, it twas way cool. Seems like all greatness breaks out when I'm away. Strange considering the circumstances...

Anyways, can I get a cameo or something in it? I think you know what I'd prefer to be, but heck a single line'd do. Though it'd be a shame to let my *acting talents go to waste

*Warning: Actual acting may not be performed by Maxx Power

[Lost Number]

How about the Capt'n(Maxx), ELS and me, maybe a few other PRMs appear together?

[Captain Maxx Power]

How about the Capt'n(Maxx), ELS and me, maybe a few other PRMs appear together?

My thoughts exactly. :)

[Lost Number]

There is the problem that Capt'n, ELS, me and a few other PRMs appear together

[Rase]

I'm sure I can find a way to work the Pirate Red Mages in here somehow, or at least the more prominent ones. :)

[Captain Maxx Power]

I'm sure I can find a way to work the Pirate Red Mages in here somehow, or at least the more prominent ones. :)

I stayed awake to read that response. I can sleep soundly tonight. G'night all.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

I'm sure I can find a way to work the Pirate Red Mages in here somehow, or at least the more prominent ones. :)

I can sleep peacefully at night knowing this.

[Pheesh]

I think that it's great. I love the eoff references an such. Even stuff like flame and warn. It all adds to the games atmosphere.

Now all you need is me in it and it'll roxor. *nodnod*

Stay Essential
EE

[Lost Number]

I'm sure I can find a way to work the Pirate Red Mages in here somehow, or at least the more prominent ones. :)
Why do I think that IM not gonna be in this...

I think ill take the opportunity to restart my EoFF Neverwinter Nights project. No one much here will be able to play it though.

[Shaun]

I'll play it when I get the chance. I think many people shouldn't use RPG Maker as it has many compatibility and resolution issues, but I'll give it a go when I can!

[Skarr]

This is a very cool thing you're doing Rase...and I like it...can't wait 'till it's all done.

[Markus. D]

Its great ^_^

I look forward to seeing more Rase.

[Rase]

Yeah, sorry for the extremely long update. :sweat: Now that I've finished all of my AP exams and the SAT's, I'll be able to get the ball rolling again. I aiming for the next version to be up by next Saturday at the latest. :)

You can download Version 2.2 here. (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20v2.2.zip)

This one is quite a bit bigger than the previous one (thanks to me using some MP3's, among other things), so I'm also kind of sorry about that. Anyway, on with the new things:
New playable character
New town (The Lounge)
Between 10-15 new enemies
Few more skills
A Secret Hidden Skill for the new PC
New dungeon with two ways to tackle it
Host of new references
More plot details unfold

Now, due to the way this week's looking, there is no way I'd have the time to go through and Beta test the whole thing (curse you Trig/Chem/Spanish tests!). So, if for some reason you find a bug, let me know VIA PM and I will do my best to promptly fix the problem and get a revised version up and running.

Thank you all for taking the time to play this. :) Comments/questions/critcism/ideas/etc. are, as always, most welcome.

I hope you enjoy it and have fun. :)

[Psychotic]

I'll merge the posts, so need to worry about that. ;)

I wish I was on my PC at home, then I could download it. Ah well, you'll have to wait until Thursday to hear what I thought of it.

[KentaRawr!]

This is quite an interesting thing you're doing. n.n I hope this project is finished. Of course, if you don't include me in the game, I will smite thee with my cheap Blue Wizrobe skillz.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Wow, 80Mb. You're really pimping pumping this thing up aren't you?

Also the warp in the new dungeon in the sewers, the first door you come to doesn't actually go anywhere. Unless I've missed something.

[Loony BoB]

I should hire you to finish off that RPG project I had going ages ago. :p I've done some mighty big maps (do you have ANY IDEA how long it took me to turn Eizon into a RPGM2K map? :(), but it still has a lot of work to be done. Like, pretty much everything. :D But you see so motivated that you might just work well with me. Let me know if you're ever done with this one and wouldn't mind looking into mine, and we'll discuss it. With your proven ability and my knowledge of EoFF references and so forth, we could work wonders. xD

I'll try to remember to download this while I'm at home, since I'm at work at the moment.

[Rase]

Wow, thanks for the compliments BoB. :D I'll probably be turning to you and the other "oldbies" for quite a few references that I know of, but little about, seeing as I wasn't there at the time.

Also, well, depending on how long this takes, I may be in college before or soon after it's done, so we'll have to wait and see about that.

Also, Maxx Power, I've found and (hopefully) fixed the bugs you found. A new version is up. Also, I managed to knock out a few unneeded things and get it down to 65 MB. :D

[Erdrick Holmes]

I'll download the whole game when it's 100% done. How much is done so far, percent-wise?

[Jebus]

Oh yeah. You were making that thing into an RPG, weren't you?

I do hope you made me and my country into the good guys, we were, afterall a major center of learning and such. :D?

[Loony BoB]

Oh yeah. You were making that thing into an RPG, weren't you?

I do hope you made me and my country into the good guys, we were, afterall a major center of learning and such. :D?
It wasn't going to use the countries from the forum. Just the landscape - pretty much everything else was some kind of EoFF-ish reference. The countries were named Eyeson, Eyesoff, El Jay, Irl and I think there was another but I forget it.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, Mmorpg.

[Rase]

I'll download the whole game when it's 100% done. How much is done so far, percent-wise?

That, I do not know, though I doubt it will be finished for a few months, at least. My target goal in terms of gameplay time is roughly 15-20 hours, though that's just an aim, not a finality, and will all be affected by how my life, job, and school go. So, if forced to make a guess, I'd say roughly 10% done, assuming all goes as planned.

[Deadpool]

my question is am i gonna be in it? i've been here for years...................

[Rase]

"Ask, and you shalt recieve." I'm sure I can fit you in somewhere, just don't expect to be a major plot device or character. :)

Also, as an update of sorts, I have barely had a chance to work on this since the last update, what with finals and such. :( My last school day is tomorrow, so hopefully, after a week of pure relaxation, I'll be able to get this thing rolling again. Sorry. :(

[KentaRawr!]

Me wants be in it! :D

Anyway, I just played half of the demo, and you sir have inspired me to make an RPG of my own. If I make it it's going to be one of those lame RPG's where it branches off into 4 area's and each one has a dungeon. Then there's the lame 5th dungeon of the sky. :mad: Gee, thanks ALOT!

Anyway, good work so far! It looks great! :D

[black orb]

>>> Is a shame I cannot play this game.. :[

[Rase]

Why is that orb?

[black orb]

>>> I have a mac..

[Rase]

Oh... sorry black orb. If I stumble across a Mac version of the program, I'll be sure to post it here and shoot you a PM to let you know, though I'm not sure what the likelyhood of me finding one is.

[black orb]

>>> Dont bother looking, rpg maker and macs are not compatible in any way. Thanks for the concern anyways..

[Deadpool]

i'll wait until you get the next update out before i download it and play it. tell me when you get me in the game, i might wait until then.

[Izzo.For.Real]

:D :D I don't know if this thread is dead or not, or if the game is done, but I have a request: Can you put me in it. One line is fine, whatever. I don't care what I look like as long as it is cool. Thanks.

[starseeker]

You're a newbie and this is the first I've heard of you. Don't even go there.
I'm trying to downlaod it now, it looks good.
I wouldn't mind if you put me and Yuffie the Dragon Ninja in as a double act.

[Izzo.For.Real]

Y'know, I don't really appreciate that. I may be new, but that doesn't make me a noob, alright?

[starseeker]

I apologise but you need to build up your presence here a bit first. From what I could tell from your profile that post was your first foray outside the KH forum and you've never posted in General Chat

:D :D I don't know if this thread is dead or not, or if the game is done, but I have a request: Can you put me in it. One line is fine, whatever. I don't care what I look like as long as it is cool. Thanks.
I'm sure I can find a little spot for you as an NPC somewhere. But, if you should become inactive and stop posting in the forums, I'll probably replace you. Just a heads-up. :)


You're a newbie and this is the first I've heard of you. Don't even go there.
I'm trying to downlaod it now, it looks good.
I wouldn't mind if you put me and Yuffie the Dragon Ninja in as a double act.
Personally, I couldn't care less how long someone's been here when it comes to inclusion. Of course, only well-known members will play a major role in it (as PC's, villians, sidequest material, etc.), but every RPG needs loads of NPC's for it's towns and I see no reason why he can't be one. At least he made a small request instead of "MAKE ME THE FINAL BOSS!!!" or something (got a PM with that in it once).

Now, as for you and Yuffie the Dragon Ninja, I'll certainly include you, but I need some clarification as to what you mean by "double act". Do you mean something like, when the player talks to one of you, you both respond to him/her, sometimes finishing each others sentence, or am I way off here? :)

[XxSephirothxX]

Rase, any idea when the next version will be done? I've been holding back on playing it, but since it's summer and I'm taskless when not at work, I'd like to play the game. ;)

Hey, man, thanks. :D I was playing it, but got stopped, so I'm gonna get it downloaded again, alright? Oh, and please PM me, to tell me where I'm gonna be, what I'm gonna say, etc.

Well, summer's not being as responsibility-free as I'd hoped, so if I had to estimate, I'd say first week of July at the latest, hopefully before then. I've been working on it during most of my spare time at home, when I'm not playing my recently-bought copy of Secret of Mana. :p

D'you know if there's any way of importing animations? If so, I wouldn't mind helping you animate some attacks...if you have a flower petal animation, I'd be willing to trade for that....

[KentaRawr!]

I could help you find an NPC. Like, myself for instance. ;)

[Rase]

Well, I know that you can import animation sets (the images with the different animation pieces on them), but I don't think you can import or export pre-made animations. Also, do you mean petal animations like the ones I attached?

I've already got you implemented into the game as an NPC Kentarou. You'll be in the next version, along with Deadpool, Izzo.For.Real, starseeker, Yuffie the Dragon Ninja, and some others. :)

[KentaRawr!]

That makes me tickle pink! :jess: Thanks Rase. :holmes: Your project is looking fantastic. :cool: Plus, I'm in it. It's officially 1000 times better.

[starseeker]

Me and YuffieTDN do a good chunk of our posting with the other one looking over our shoulder and making suggestions. We're sisters and share the same computer. (I'm the older one)

[Sylvie]

Can you add me in it? Like, can I be this badass Akuma type guy that can kick real hard? :p

Anyway I should try it out once I install RMXP again.

[Rase]

Well, most enemies/bosses are either random inactive members (enemies) or banned (bosses). However, I'll see what I can do with you. :p You probably won't be until a later version though. I'll let you know when that one comes around.

Also, as a heads up, you will need the Postality Knights Edition of RPG Maker XP to play this, as it uses the additional stuff in that version. The download link is in the first post.

[starseeker]

I'm having difficulty getting it to run. Every time I try I get the message
'File Graphics/Windowskin/001-Blue not found.'
Attached is what the folder looks like.
I kinda monkeyed around with the installation so it would be in My Documents. Does that affect it?

[-N-]

And well done on pre-empting the Sick Irony whines. Sick Irony was alright, but unless you're an extremely old oldbie, (there's about 4 of them left) you won't get most of the humour. QFT, nice that you shot those down already. Yes, well done indeed. This looks pretty sweet. This badly needs updating anyways, and I'm glad you're taking it on. Good luck finishing it!

The installation thing may be a problem. First though, try placing the attached file in Graphics > Windowskins. If that doesn't work, PM me and we'll try and figure it out. :)

[KoShiatar]

I wonder if you could put me in as a NPC that accompanies and guides you in a level called Amano World using this sprite.

Remember that on the Internet you can find loads of RPMXP stuff, such as custom char sets, battlebacks, and lots of scripts to make the game more original.

[Rase]

Hmm, well, that's an iffy one. The various levels/worlds are mainly the different forums (Gen. Chat, EoEo, etc.), and seeing as how Amano World is not a forum, I'm not wont to include it in that form. However, I may be able to think of some way to implement your idea, possibly using the Artists Forums. I'll have to think it over. :)

I know, I'm just lazy. :p Maybe I'll look more now that summer's here.

[starseeker]

There isn't a windowskins folder.

[KoShiatar]

What about mking it a bonus dungeon?

[Loony BoB]

Mapping is one thing I'm actually capable of doing. Maybe I'll send you my EoFF maps someday, they're made using chipsets made out of bits and pieces from dozens of other chipsets and works quite nicely. Either that or I could zip up all the chipsets, charsets etc. I have and just send the lot to you.

OH MY GOD, THANK YOU! (Don't suppose you have a butterfly one too...I got one but it was sized wrong...

[Pheesh]

I started practising with my rpg maker again and have gotten quite reasonable at spriting. If you wanted to have some custom sets made up or even add bits and pieces to sets you're already using. Let me know via Pm. I've got the rpg maker so i have access to all the sprites already. I also messed around with menu's, sound and all that stuff so if there's any stuff like that you want help with give me a yell.

It really is a good game.

I would say try using the steps I included in post #1 and seeing if that works, even if that means re-downloading everything. I'm not sure what you mean by "monkeyed around with the installation so it would be in My Documents", but apparently the way I listed allows most, if not all people to run it.

That was one of the options I was thinking of. :p

I don't think you could send me the premade maps, though any chip/charsets are also welcome. It's nice to have a lot of options when making something. :)

No problem, :D
Let me see if I can resize it your butterfly one. PM me with a link to it or attach it to a post here.

Sure, thanks. Any help with stuff I suck at is appreciated. :)

[starseeker]

I'm now following your advice.

[YTDN]

Now, as for you and Yuffie the Dragon Ninja, I'll certainly include you, but I need some clarification as to what you mean by "double act". Do you mean something like, when the player talks to one of you, you both respond to him/her, sometimes finishing each others sentence, or am I way off here? :)

We were thinking, like Zorn&Thorn type talking, but the finishing each others sentences thing sounds cool.

[Giga Guess]

Part of the problem is the white background, as RPGM assumes black to be transparent, not white.


Back to the topic though, are you planning on just one Giga Guess travelling and vending? Cuz I was thinking something more along the lines of Giga Guess being more of a title than a name, with several Giga Guesses around, and one "Supreme" vendor (Omega Guess, an alternate handle I use) masterminding it. Maybe even make a playable character out of him. Just as a thought.

[Rase]

Which program are you using again? RPG Maker 2k3 or RPG Maker XP?

I'm using XP. And as such, the petal animations are too small too...:(

[starseeker]

This is just a suggestion but, I think tenhitcombo would be a cool bad guy in the VI forum since he caused such a massive fight (or two.

[Rase]

I'm working on making the petal work for XP. I'll attach it to this post when I'm done.
EDIT: Attached. :) You can only have ten different images for the animation, so I chose the ones I felt you could use the most. Also, for future reference, the ideal size of an animation set is 960 x 384.

Good to know. I don't really venture into the FF forums on a regular basis, so I never would have known that. :up:

Also, a question to all who've played it: Do you care if I show the party blowing up the forums? I'm keeping the two times I've shown it already, but I figured it get repetative after a while and thought of just implying it via sound effects and such. Thoughts?

Finally, I'm almost finished with the next "episode", so to speak. It's really the same as the other updates, in the sense that there is a "new" town (Lounge, but with new people/items to buy), a new dungeon, new party member, new enemies, new cameos, etc. I am introducing a new thing or two though, you know, spice things up a bit, keep you on your toes. :) Unless something goes horribly wrong, or some people I have doing things for me don't have them done by then, it should be up by the end of this weekend, as I'll need to play through and make sure it all works. :)

I think it might be a good idea to keep the sequences where the forums get destroyed. Maybe during one of those events something crazy happens like a boss attacks while the forum is exploding or you have to escape the forum before a time limit runs out. But that's just me; don't think about it too seriously. I can't wait to play the new episode BTW. Keep it rolling.

[starseeker]

You could change the colour or the sound of the forums exploding. Also I was wondering, if you get the new update, is your previous save file still valid?
If you're interested: This is what tenhitcombo is like (http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=82406) and this as well (http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=82573)

[Rase]

Also I was wondering, if you get the new update, is your previous save file still valid?
Normally, you can simply Copy and Paste the Save file from one version to another. I probably should have mentioned that earlier. :sweat: However, I do know that you will need to start a New Game for the next version. Do to some changes I had to make, any older Save files will not work. But trust me, in the long run, it'll be worth it. There were some random glitches that were pretty strange.

[Rase]

I'll be needing another post merging here, but I don't care because Haha, the new episode done!

Okay, first, a funny story...
Well, while I was surfing the Web, trying to find good MP3's and midi's for this game a while back, I stumbled across one I really liked. Problem was, it wasn't made to be looped, and I couldn't figure out how to get it to loop from a certain point, rather than the beginning. So, I just decided to make it repeat itself a lot of times from said point via Copy and Pasting in my MP3 editing program, making it an hour long. Now it sounded fine, but I was just looking at it and I saw that it was 60 Mbs in size. :eek: In other words, I had effectively made this game file unessecarily huge. I've taken it out (it wasn't THAT good) and knocked the whole thing down to somewhere around 8 Mbs. :jess:

Anyway, you can download the latest version here. (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20RPG.zip) Again, I haven't had a chance to give it a full test run (so much for summer being the "relaxing" season), so if you encounter any bugs that prevent further gameplay, let me know and I'll fix them and get a new version up ASAP.

New things (this is becoming a pattern):
New playable character and class
New dungeon
"New" town (The Lounge, but with different cameos :sweat:)
Six new enemies
Six mini-bosses
Two bosses
Few more skills
Another Hidden Skill, this time for Mr. Noob
Of course, new references/cameos
More plot details unfold, as usual

Remember, you will need to start this as a New Game, but (hopefully) from now on you will be able to transfer you save file from episode to episode (via Copy and Pasting) Oh yeah, and that's what I'm refering to these as now: episodes. As in episodic games. I stole the term form an article I read on the game SiN. :p

Again, thank you all for taking the time to play this. :) Comments/questions/critcism/ideas/etc. are, as always, most welcome. Also, I'll be trying to get a full walkthrough up, for those who want it (as in, it'll tell you how the two current Hidden Skills, and give help if, for some reason, you need it).

I hope you enjoy it and have fun. :)

*prays for no bugs*

[YTDN]

I'm downloading it right now.

[starseeker]

Love the cameos. Me and YuffieTDN even look like our sprites.

[Rase]

Glad to hear it. :)

Apparently there was a rather big mistake on my part, so I had to upload a new file. Just do the same when extracting and stuff, then Copy and Paste your Save file into it. It should work. If not, let me know. :)

[starseeker]

Would this be the inability to get into the FFI forum. Because I just discovered that I can't despite Cid unlocking it.

EDIT: The new version doesn't fix the problem.

[Psychotic]

I think it's okay for you to double post if you want, because it's your thread (that doesn't mean you can all double post in your own threads, guys :p) and it's an ongoing project, rather like a poetry thread or an art thread or whatever.

Now I'm going to claim that I'm going to play this tomorrow, so basically you'll hear from me in a month. :D

[Shauna]

Well, it's taking forever to download. But, I'm looking forward to having a go. :D *hopes I'm in it* xD

I've played it for all of 5 minutes. I love it. :heart:

[Rase]

EDIT: The new version doesn't fix the problem.

Where did you save it? If you saved it after talking with Cid, I'm sorry but it won't take effect. It will now open, but only after initially talking with Cid.

HOWEVER, yet another version has been uploaded, due to another bug. :mad2:

So sorry guys, I need to check things more often. :sad:

[starseeker]

Dammit. Is the new version the one you linked to in your previous post? I'm downloading it now.

[KentaRawr!]

Well, I'm playing through the beginning again. Quite a good game. Once I get to the parts I haven't seen before, I'll edit this post with my impressions.

[Rase]

Dammit. Is the new version the one you linked to in your previous post? I'm downloading it now.
Yes, I've been changing my link accordingly after each edit.

Also, as a sort of apology, I can offer this (http://sparelimited.com/rase/Save1.sav). It's a Save file set right after entering the gate in the FFVII forum. It should work if you place it in the folder, so if you don't want to play through the part prior to that and don't mind playing off that file, feel free to use it.

[starseeker]

Thank you, I'll try it now. I've finished school and I'm willing to do any odd bits and pieces if you need any help.
Also, what's the music that plays in The Lounge? It sounds familiar and I can't place it.

[Rase]

Okay, I feel incredible bad for all of this going wrong, but it looks like there is yet ANOTHER bug, therefore ANOTHER edit is in order. However, you may want to simply wait on downloading this until Maxx Power, who's been informing me of all of these mistakes, finishes the game completely and let's me know that it is a fully functional version. As of now though, the most recent edit is up and ready for download.

On another note, I currently feel very unhappy about all of these problems. :(

[XxSephirothxX]

Don't worry about it. It's all too easy to overlook very minor things that can happen to cause very major problems. :p Besides, I think it's pretty funny to see more bandwidth being used than there ever was when my site was actually alive.

[Avarice-ness]

Hey I dunno if you already addressed this due to the fact I saw you were going to search for midi's and then the fact that I kind of just skipped reading everything else. I plan to download everything once I get back on the DSL but alas, I'm on Dial-up right now and I am impatient.

But what I was going to say is that I write Midi's on Noteworthy composer on my free time due to my love of music and my..................... Years in band.

The first midi is still in work, 'cause the key change and such. I have a bad habit of tempo changes...
I made the Pirate midi on my dad's computer and he had a compy made in like 1997, so I havn't updated it since I got the better synth player. I plan to do that and it'll sound way better because I'll know how the patches work. The Pirate Midi's my best (in my opinion) out of all the one's that I got done on my dad's compy. So there's those, It's just incase you want some original music from someone on EoFF. ^^; I'm always here to help out. So just tell me if you'd want the help and I'm here. <3.

By the way, there are some really hard hitting notes in them, Clashing with ressonance. So watch out. > o

[Old Manus]

I'm going to be a snob and say:

Am I in this anywhere?

:cool:

[Rase]

Also, what's the music that plays in The Lounge? It sounds familiar and I can't place it.
It's actually a pre-made midi that came with the RPG Maker XP program, creatively titled "Town 3". I attached it to this post.

Don't worry about it. It's all too easy to overlook very minor things that can happen to cause very major problems. :p
Yeah, it's just my nature to want things to work perfectly the first time. One of my faults, I guess.

Besides, I think it's pretty funny to see more bandwidth being used than there ever was when my site was actually alive.

You're welcome, If you want any kind of like special 'genre' song I can try my best for that, Strangely enough I was working on a town theme a few hours ago. xD 'cept then I realized on staff was in G major and everything else wasn't. ; ; So now I have to fix it.

[Izzo.For.Real]

Dude, this rocks! I love my cameo. Oh, and where do you get your character sets, and battlers? And, how do you make them work? Whenever I import for my current RPGs, they have a colored background behind them. I edit them in paint[for 2 hours:(], and the background remains. help, please.

[Jebus]

I don't know if anyone told you or not, but the res potion (whatever it's called) doesn't work in battle or out.

*hopes he has a cameo soon, and that it's awesome*

Do you mean Rest Potion? If so, I just tried it and it worked fine. Think you can get a screenshot to show me exactly what you mean.


*hopes he has a cameo soon, and that it's awesome*
Let's just say that Chat will be in the final game in some form. I'm not sure when it'll be put in, but rest assured that it will get in there at some point.

Finally, yet another edit has produced yet another new thing to download, which produced another moment of sadness for your truly. :( Hopefully what I'm doing next time will keep this from happening.

[Jebus]

Not the rest potion. The one that revives from dead/afk status.

Also, damage numbers aren't appearing. I dunno if this is just me or not, but I can't tell how much I'm hurting for.

And lastly, Chat > the forum, so chat's gonna be the best part of the game, right?

[Rase]

Whoops hehe, apparently I had to specify that it worked on dead allies and only dead allies. :sweat:
And so, a new edit follows the other by 20 mins, and for the sake of simplcity here (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20RPG.zip) is another link to it.

As for damage numbers, I'm not sure. I have yet to have that happen to me. Is it a specific attack or in general?

Oh, and I don't know about Chat yet. I've given it some thought, but not much. I may contact you and some other chatters once I get to where I want to include it, as I never go in there and thus, don't really know how to make it. But it definitely won't be the next episode, maybe the one after that, we'll have to see.

[Jebus]

All attacks. No damage numbers. The only way I can tell if damage is being done at all is if the enemy dies eventually, or when my party's numerical health changes.

[Rase]

Hmmm, all I can really say is that I'll look into it, vague as that may be. I have no clue as to why that would be happening. Sorry. :(

[Shauna]

Uhh, was I supposed to fight Timmy Doherty twice? -_-

[Rase]

Uhh, was I supposed to fight Timmy Doherty twice? -_-

Did this happen in the edit that I linked to in post #126? I've been changing the version in the link everytime someone informs me of a bug, and it shouldn't be happening in the most recent one. Is it?

Also, to be sure it's remembered:
Normally, you can simply Copy and Paste the Save file from one version to another.

So, if you download the most recent edit and have an old save file from a previous version of this episode, just do that and save yourself some time.

[Shauna]

Yeah, it is.
There were a few other things - Umm, after Hsu is able to summon the PRM he just sorta stays there on the bridge, and doesn't go anywhere. Sorry, there's something else, but I can't remember. -_- The Timmy Doherty thing was what stuck out most in my mind.

[Rase]

Yeah, it is.

Hmm, well, I just looked over the game itself and it shouldn't be doing that in this version, as I edited it out. The only reason I can think of is that I must have edited the game and then forgot to upload the new version (which, knowing me, is very likely). I just made sure to upload one that shouldn't do any of that, so go ahead and give it a try. Sorry about all the problems. :(

[starseeker]

The loop's still there, and the lack of summons. And yes, I am using the new version.

[Dignified Pauper]

can you offer the EoFF RPG as a separate file from the RPG XP maker, because SOME of us already have it. thanks.

further, i think a ruined area called EoFF Post needs to be in here, and mention something about how Marick D. Pauper once was the mayor, but due his poor planning, the town failed. I think Manus would give this game a 6 star rating then.

[Rase]

There are various links for it, but for some reason Azar's site (which I'm hosting from) appears to be down. If you PM me your email I can try and just send you the file that way, though I'm still trying to make sure that the latest version is bug-free.
EDIT: Or you can wait until the site's working again, like it is now. Check posts #104 or #126 for links.

[starseeker]

I could make a torrent if you want since I got Bittorent.

[Rase]

I could make a torrent if you want since I got Bittorent.
Sure, if you want to. I mean, it couldn't hurt, and it's always good to have many options.

I'll keep that in mind. :)

[Chris]

Is this the one I'm in? xD I just downloaded it.

[Rase]

Yep, you're in it. I hope you find your portrayal okay. :)

EDIT: Okay, I now have confirmation that the current edit is playable to the end. So, if you were waiting, feel free to download it now.

[starseeker]

Torrent of bug free version is up. But until someone else downloads it I'm the only seeder so it could take a while.

[XxSephirothxX]

Up where? :p

[starseeker]

It's being bad tempered so this could take a while. I need to find a tracker.

[Zeromus_X]

I'm also having the 'not showing damage' issue, is that normal? Or is that just for the first enemy? (That's as far as I am.)

Yay! I make an appearance! :cat: :love:

[oddler]

Oh my! I walked into this house and it reminded me of that part in The Shining when the boy comes around the corner in the hallway and sees those twin girls. Creepy... :eek:

[Rase]

It shouldn't be happening at all, and I have yet to find out what's making it happen for certain people. Sorry. :(

[Shauna]

Not really on topic, but this has caused me to start messing around with RPG maker. :) It's fun to use. :D It took me a little while to get a grip on what I was doing, but now that I know the basics it's pretty fun. Although, I still can't get people to say something then walk without it repeating 100 times. Ah well. :)

[Rase]

I can try and help you out. Attach a picture of the event you want to talk, and I'll take a look.

[Dignified Pauper]

just use the "erase event" command.

[Shauna]

I did, but that removed the character completely. :p That wasn't what I wanted. I kinda gave up after I couldn't rid the castle thing I made, of raining indoors. I'll have another look tomorrow. Maybe when I'm not so tired, I can work something out. xD

If I can't get it, I'll come to you, Rase. Thanks. ^_^ xD

[Izzo.For.Real]

Use the switches. Make a switch. Name it 'End Loop1'. Then, make a new page iwht whatever you want to happen after they talk onit, and make the requirements for End Loop1 to be on. Then, on the first page, tell it to turn that switch on at the end of it.

[Dignified Pauper]

i've just got to find Neel's hat!!!!

[Giga Guess]

I'm guessing you didn't get the end of FFI Forum done?

[Rase]

I'm guessing you didn't get the end of FFI Forum done?
No, it's finished. Why do you ask?
Or was that directed to Dignified Pauper?

[Dignified Pauper]

nope, just getting ready to enter FFVII

I can't get through the door to the cap'n. It opens, but I cannae go through!

[Shauna]

That should be gone in the new version?

[Dignified Pauper]

i finished the demo, i must say that it is very nicely done.


playing this makes me want to make my "Final Fantasy - A Tragedy" on RPG XP... the best play in the world!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! though, i won't get around to it for awhile. I don't know how to script much.

[starseeker]

I can't wait for the next installment.

[Rase]

I can't get through the door to the cap'n. It opens, but I cannae go through!
You probably have a version prior to all the edits I did. Try re-downloading it from the link. Don't forget to Copy and Paste your save file into that folder in order to play off of it.

i finished the demo, i must say that it is very nicely done.
Thank you. :)

I didn't do any script writing for this, I just used what was there. Just do what I did before amking this: Make a "game" that is solely for practicing, experimenting, and seeing how things work. If your really serious, I can also send you the RPG Maker XP Project file for this game, so you can open it in RPG Maker XP and see how I did certain things.

[Psychotic]

Or you could do what I did, and simply make a new project file, then copy all of Rase's files into the new project's directories. It works just as well :D

[Rase]

So THAT'S how you did that! :mad:

Ah well, it let you give me those tips, so it's all good. :D

EDIT: PLEASE READ!
Okay, no that I have your attention, I need you to help me out here. I'm in need of names for equipment, as in armor. Mainly, if you can think of an internet/EoFF related name for a piece of armor, PM it to me. I'm running low, and I though I really don't want to, I will resort to naming them things like "Steel Helm" or "Bronze Shield". Please don't let it come to this.

[Giga Guess]

Hrmmmm....Google Goggles?
Fluffy Pink Plate?
Giga's Lance? (Shameless self plug :p)


Hrmmmm....I will puzzle on this.

[-N-]

Oh yeah, do you need an original score or anything? I'll be roadtripping for the next few days, but after that I'm free to help (of course, I need to help Mullet too but I love doing this stuff so it's no problem). nik0tine is also pretty good at whipping up music, faster than I am for sure (damn kids with free time).

I'm sending you a PM with some armor names as we speak.

[Lawr]

When I try to play the Post 126 Version, says RGSS100J.dll was not found. I tried to substitute it with a Folder with that same name but then it said, 'Access is denied.'

Am I a freak?
NVM. You'd think I skipped the first paragraph and that paragraph is all I needed to play.
I should slap myself.

[Giga Guess]

Hmmmm....."Surge Protector?"

[YTDN]

What about...
'Troll Guardian'?
'Posting Sword'?
'Usernote staff'?

[Giga Guess]

OH! A couple of possible attacks:

"Wall of Words" Causes boredom on all enemies.

"Blue Screen of Death" or "System Crash" a Death attack.

[Lawr]

Psychotic Lance

[Zeromus_X]

Also in the same game, I believe it was before you pick who to keep in your party, there was this NPC (two of him) at the 'Frontsite', and one in Cid's room. (In the Lounge.) I couldn't talk to him, and he just stood there, doing nothing. He disappeared after the story progressed however. Just thought I'd tell ya that.

"Bad Kitty"
"Metaslash!"
"Goddess Exposure" xD

[starseeker]

Pimp brand
smilie attack
fat chocobo knife
archive blade

[Zeromus_X]

Link Blaster (Gun): Bombards the opposition with wittily titled links. (I have no clue if that's a word or not. xD)

Spam Grenade (Damage Item): Deals predetermined damage to all enemies with the power of spam. (Don't know if those items are possible for RPG Maker.)

Banner Staff (Staff): Dazzles enemies with a beautifully crafted signature! (Use for a spell in battle? Dunno if that's possible or not.)

Neel's Hat (Legendary helmet): Hat that once belonged to a famous member. Greatly increases all stats.

Neel's Spicy Buffalo Chicken Melt (Item): Heals all HP and MP of the entire party. Once belonged to a famous member.

Meh.

[Rase]

Could you perhaps get a screenshot of him, is possible? That'd help me a lot in figuring out what's causing that.

Anyway, these and the ones I've recieved via PM are all very good ideas, keep it up. I will probably use a lot of them eventually, but since most involve members names, they will be more powerful pieces of equipment and thus be acquired later in the game. Also, I may change some in some ways, and others I already have a plan for that reference. :)

[starseeker]

So, any hints at a release date for the next version?

[Giga Guess]

Maybe I could be a summon....not sure where I'd stand in the spectrum...but....

[Rase]

So, any hints at a release date for the next version?
Maybe some time next week, or the week after that. It's kind of hard for me because there are a lot of maps and cameos in the next episode, and I can only do so much at a time before it becomes unbearably tedious. I will tell you that this is a much more reference/cameo driven episode, with no actual dungeon to explore. There will be a portion of fighting, but it is mainly a break of sorts from dungeons. It will also add to the story, and leave you with two paths to take once again, depending on what you want to do. The actual paths themselves won't be available until the episode after the next though.


Maybe I could be a summon....not sure where I'd stand in the spectrum...but....
At the moment, I'd rather just keep you as the main store keeper, if that's okay.

[Giga Guess]

[Lawr]

Sagensyg's Cooking: Completely heals all status effects and Hp and Mp. Also
slowly restores Hp.

Mwehehehe. =)

[Strider]

You need a sword called the Pwnanza Blade.

[Lawr]

Nice. Or something like The P00N-U-9000 like a shotgun or something

[Zeromus_X]

I would, if I knew what I needed to be able to take screenshots. :confused: :cat:

[Lawr]

Look at your F12 button theres a button to the immediate right of it
It says (should say):

PRT Screen
Sys Rq
or something like that just press that button. Open Paint or
something and Paste it. Then save it and you can use Photobucket
to get it's URL and paste as a HTML image.

Rase, I think it would be okay if you gave generic names to the early equipment sorts and reserved EoFF-related names for the more high powered equipment.

[KoShiatar]

Obviously playing characters should start off with the n00b equipement set (n00b helm, n00b armor and so on).

[Lawr]

Lool

Hey, I found TONS of animation sets. If you wish, I can:
a) Share them with you, or
b) Give you the source.

[Rase]

Hey, I found TONS of animation sets. If you wish, I can:

It'd probably just be easier if you PM'd me the source. :)

Next one should be up either this weekend or early next week. Hopefully. :)

[Rase]

Okay, this is just a heads up. Apparently, a major phone line, that provides my house with our high-speed internet and phone stuff, is damaged, and as such I won't be able to upload the next episode until tonight at the earliest, next Monday at the (hopefully) latest. I'm currently typing this from a public library. So, this is just letting you guys know that. Sorry about the delay. :(

Okay, forget all of that. My internet just got back up, so I've managed to get the new episode up. You can find it here (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20RPG.zip). :D

It should be virtually bug free, as I had starseeker and Psychotic beta-test it for me and I changed the errors they found. However, if you do find errors still, feel free to let me know.

I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm not going to try and predict when the next one will be, as I want to take a little break and play some games rather than make them. That, combined with a busy summer and summer-reading books for AP English and Statistics, will probably delay the next one. :/

Azar's Hat - once owned by a worthless member of the community. Cursed. Lowers all stats by 3/4ths

[Rase]

While I'd be lying if I said that didn't make me laugh, though I think I'll decline that idea. At least, the idea of it cursing the wearer. :p

[Christmas]

Azar's Hat - once owned by a worthless member of the community. Cursed. Lowers all stats by 3/4ths


It will be interesting if you can uncurse it through certains conditions met and turn it into a powerful HAT.

Something like the cursed shield in FF VI.

[Zeromus_X]

Hm..I downloaded the version in your latest link, but I still can't see the damage numbers. :/ Is there something I'm doing wrong? I just copied/pasted it to the Games folder, like last time.

I'm still not sure what may be causing this. I'm trying to find out, but it's apparently either not common, or people just don't knwo why it happens. I'll continue looking though, and if I find something I'll let you know. Sorry. :(

Also, I forgot to mention, I am just now looking into the glory that is scripting. Not that I'm learning it or anything, but I'm looking into using pre-made ones in this, if I like them/think they're cool. If I change something and it gets a backlash though, I'll be sure to change it back.

[Loony BoB]

Azar's Hat should most certainly be the best Hat, as his is the original and the others are all just copies that were trying to capture Azar's Hat's magic. Azar's Hat is to the other Hats as Sauron's Ring is to one of those rings given to a dwarf, elf or man.

Or Azar's hat can only be uncursed when you completed the collection of the other copies of his hats.

[Rase]

Hm..I downloaded the version in your latest link, but I still can't see the damage numbers. :/ Is there something I'm doing wrong? I just copied/pasted it to the Games folder, like last time.

The only idea I've found is going to take a little jury-rigging. First, you'll need to do what Psychotic apparently did when he wants to screw around with my game.

Or you could do what I did, and simply make a new project file, then copy all of Rase's files into the new project's directories. It works just as well :D
Then, go to Tools>Script Editor. Copy and paste this code over the one at the bottom that says main.


#==============================================================================
# ** Main
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# After defining each class, actual processing begins here.
#==============================================================================

begin
$fontface = $defaultfonttype = $fontname = Font.default_name = "Arial"
$fontsize = $defaultfontsize = Font.default_size = 22
# Prepare for transition
Graphics.freeze
# Make scene object (title screen)
$scene = Scene_Title.new
# Call main method as long as $scene is effective
while $scene != nil
$scene.main
end
# Fade out
Graphics.transition(20)
rescue Errno::ENOENT
# Supplement Errno::ENOENT exception
# If unable to open file, display message and end
filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")
print("Unable to find file #{filename}.")
end

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but it's worth a shot.

Anyway, here are a few examples of some scripts I've looked at implementing in here. I've attached the images because Photobucket hates me at the moment. Also, these are all done in a Test project, so there's HP and the guys names are different.

#1. This is a Ring Menu. Functionally, it's the exact same as a regular menu, it just looks different, and therefore makes this more "original", per se.
#2. When you choose something like "Equip" of "Skill", this is how you choose the character you want.
#3. This is just an addition that makes little bars appear along with your AS and SP numbers.
#4. This is something akin to FFVII. It's technically called a "Battle Report", and adds up your Exp and Money in the same fashion.
#5. A Bestiary-type thing, a la Dawn of Souls and FFIV Advanced. Gives you enemy info after you beat them.

Now, the first two scripts work fine, but the third and fourth are incompatible with old save files, which means that you guys would have to start all over again if I used either of them. The Bestiary is also incompatible with the Ring Menu, so I can currently use it if you guys didn't want the Ring Menu, but liked the idea of a Bestiary (it'd still be incompatible with old save files). So, I leave it up to you guys. Which scripts would you like included at the moment?

[starseeker]

I like ideas #3-5 (bars, status and bestary), but I really don't like having the menu monkeyed around with. That's my opinion anyway.

[oddler]

I think all of them would add to the game as long as they all function the way you want. More power to ya.

[Rase]

Well, after twiddling around with it, I think I've got those three scripts in (AS/SP/EXP Bars, Battle Report, and Bestiary/Member List). The Member List replaces the useless Save function on the Menu (useless because, as you know, you can only save at those certain stations). You can activate it by talking to the "top" crystal in the FAQ or by simply leaving the FAQ and entering the Homepage.

If you'd like to try it out, here (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20RPG%20-%20Why%20Noobs%20Can%20Be%20Important.zip) is the link to the download.I had to name it something else because you apparently can't have two files named the same thing on the same site. Remember, you will need to start from the beginning, as this doesn't register with old save files. But then, if it did, you'd be missing fifty-some enemies from your Member List, and that wouldn't do. :) And, as always, feedback of these changes is most appreciated.

I've attached some screenshots, as you can see, and will give them a brief overview. First is the Menu screen. Not much different, just the bars and the faded out "Member List". Next is the Registration Battle. Here you can see the bars as they appear on the Battle Screen. Next, the Battle Report, showing your EXP and GP gained, along with any items you got. It also shows your current levels for each, and the amount of EXP you need to gain a level. If a character learns a new skill, it will alert you. Then we have another view of the Menu (exciting, no?). This just shows the little EXP bar filing up. I'm not sure why I included it, I'm tired at the moment. Finally, a page of the Member List, with all the info it provides.

Due to things I had to change for the Member List to work, some monster groups may contain the wrong monsters. So, if you run into, say, Thunday Man in EoEo, let me know.

Finally, I am slowly getting some work done on the next episode. However, with my life getting busier, plus having to create two dungeons, I won't even begin to guess as to when it'll be done.

[Loony BoB]

I seriously need to remember to check this out sometime.

[KoShiatar]

This looks super funny.

[Shauna]

-_-; My save file is messed up. :( I'll have to play it all over again! Ah well. ^_^ It's fun. ^_^

[JaytodaP]

I should Be a pirate that hates everything. Im downloading it now. From what Ive seen it looks funny

Nergh! Did you all see my gloriousness when you fought me? I'm so badass I
don't even have need a weapon...




Made you look:eep:

[Rase]

-_-; My save file is messed up. :( I'll have to play it all over again! Ah well. ^_^ It's fun. ^_^Was it from the pre-script version or the post-script one?


Anyway, the main reason for this reply is because it's time for another request thing. This time, I need you all to rack your brains for EoFF or internet related names for two main elemental skills. The two elements I need covered are Water and Earth, chosen because RPG Maker XP already has some nice animations pre-made for them. :D Just put forth ideas for the basic (low-level) version of the skill and I can take that and create the other two levels from that theme.

As an example, I made all the Fire skills a variant of Flame, because flaming is something that happens a lot in message boards, this one included.

I look forward to seeing any ideas you guys put forth. :)

[Zeromus_X]

Spam Flood? Shaking Response?

[Giga Guess]

Solid Response? Wishy washy post? Iunno...I got nothin' for this...

[Loony BoB]

Bandwidth and storage space, maybe... dunno.

[starseeker]

Server crash (earth)
Crap flooding (water)

Best I can think of.

[Lawr]

Server Crash?
Filesize Overload?

[Loony BoB]

DDOS attack for flood/water. =] That could work.

Still can't think of anything major for earth though. What's earthy? Something solid would have to be hardware, so maybe hardware failures or something? Not that it has to do with the internet but it does have something to do with PCs in general.

[Shauna]

-_-; My save file is messed up. :( I'll have to play it all over again! Ah well. ^_^ It's fun. ^_^

I have no idea. It was a save from before the newest update - when there were two Timmy Doherty's. I saved it after I fought him, and the game doesn't like that save. Ah well, I can play it from the start, no biggy. ^_^

[Christmas]

Just one question, The version in the first page of the thread is the newest version right? So all I have to do is to follow the instructions there?

[YTDN]

Quake in your boots (Earth)
Blue Screen of Death (Water)

Forum Shaking (Earth)

What exactly is DDOS? :confused:

The newest version of the game is in post #204.

Anyway, you guys are going good with the ideas. I'll probably pick one name for each element and make variations of it, but if I don't choose yours, do not fear, as I may use it as an "enemy only" attack (such as Sasquatch's "Seventh Circle of Hell" or "Logic?").

[Izzo.For.Real]

Ah...I see this is still moving along. Sorry I went on hiatus for awhile. Anyway, I'm back.

[JackNapier]

Is this even still going? If it is it'd be cool if I had a cameo :D

[Rase]

It's still going. I've been on vacation, and I'm just now starting to work on my summer work for school (with two weeks to go until it starts), so work has been sporadic at best. Right now there is an ETA of September 10 for the next episode, hopefully sooner.

As for a cameo, I'll see what I can do. :) It may be this upcoming episode or the next one.

[JackNapier]

It looks like it's going great so far. PM me if you have any ideas for my cameo.

[Slicksword45]

I want a Camo too! in the FFIX forms! =p
I'm about to go get the new verson.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Crap, I need a link to the RPG maker so I can play this. The old link has expired bandwidth.

[Rase]

Whoops, heh heh, forgot to change that.

The link should work now.

[Slicksword45]

so am I in?

anyway i chose not to get the game right now because

A. i coulden't get RPGmaker XP
and
B. I need to wait 30min for DL and I don't have that time right now. (darn AOL...... can't beleave my grandparents still use it....)

[Jebus]

This new episode involves chat, yes? It had better. *shakes fist*

[Rase]

so am I in?

Sure, though I don't know when/if the FFIX forum will come into play right now.

Patience, please. You can't go throwing in all the good stuff early in the game, can you? ;)

Besides, I'm still having trouble thinking of exactly how to implement chat.

[Erdrick Holmes]

I encountered a glitch in the current version. In the fortress of the FFVII forum there's an invisble enemy that can only take about 30 damage from Mr Noob but can't be hurt by Void and kikimm. It keeps doing masive damage every turn. I can't kill this thing, it has no name or anything.

[Rase]

Yeah, I noticed that when I was playing through a few battles earlier today. Apparently, when I rearranged the monsters to accommodate the inclusion of the Member List, some enemy groups where accidently given a super-strong invisible enemy that has all the stats an empty enemy slot has (no graphic, 100 Defense, Magic Defense, and Attack Power, etc.) which are high compared to the normal stats in my game. It should be updated and playable now. Sorry about that.

[KentaRawr!]

Anyway, the game is looking very good so far. I haven't downloaded any demos for a while, so I'll download the next one. Good job/luck with this, d00d! :D

And because there are hundreds of pages, I must ask thee before I lose myself in them... what is my role in the game? :shifty:

[Rase]

At the moment, you play a role as an NPC and, for a brief moment, as a playable character. This moment happens during the Assualt on General Chat, during which the player has the option of fighting alongside a number of EoFF members in battles. Your character is a Mage, Level 17, and has the following skills:

Chill Out: Cool down a hot-headed member (Level 1 Ice Spell).
Flame: Burn an opponent with fiery insults (Level 1 Fire Spell).
Power Surge: Cause a jolt of power to strike your opponents computer (Level 1 Thunder Spell).
Boredom: Inflict an enemy with boredom, draining their AS (Level 1 Poison Spell).

After the battle, you give the player an SP Restore (Ether) in return for their help.

[Tasura]

*downloads* I shall edit my thoughts in afer I play it, and now for the question that pops around alot, can I be in it? =P

[Rase]

now for the question that pops around alot, can I be in it? =P
You've probably already guessed my response, but so it's official, yes, you can. :)

[Tasura]

Yay =D

But on a bug type term, h, well, ill PM you about it, or talk on AIM if you ever get on.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

Whoaaa i can´t download the demo...:( But i have RPG Maker:cry:

[Rase]

If you'd like to try it out, here (http://sparelimited.com/rase/EoFF%20RPG%20-%20Why%20Noobs%20Can%20Be%20Important.zip) is the link to the download.
This link didn't work for you?

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

It´s downloading right now...but it didn´t work the first time i wonder why?
Well what´s important is that i can try it now.:D

[Northcrest]

I think this game is going to be great. At my house I've been working on an RPG game too, but I haven't made it into a game. So far I've done drafts of the game to see the story line, what summons would be in it etc. I hope that I can publish it. I also hope yours turns out good as well. Good Luck.:D

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Finally got a chance to download and play this game. Is there a reason I'm not gaining any experience or Giga Points after my battles?

It's a good game. Not sure how I should feel about being an old man though :)

I just checked, there is, and it's completely my fault. I've been messing around with scripts, looking through ones to incoporate into the RPG. Apparently, while doing this, I accidently deleted the script that transitions from the battle screen to the battle report screen. What you need to do it download the attached file here. In it is a called "Scripts". Copy that, and go to the RPG's folder. There should be a sub-folder called "Data". Find the file called "Scripts" in that folder, delete it, and Paste the one you downloaded into it. It should work from then on. If it doesn't let me know.

It's a good game. Not sure how I should feel about being an old man though :) [/QUOTE]
Well, it was a given that you'd be a mage, and there are only five default male mage sets (most custom ones look rather... out of place). Two were already being used for other characters, and the other two were these (see attachments). So it was either that or the old man.

Besides, think of it as me saying you're wise and stuff. :)

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

Ahh so that´s the reason i didn´t gain no experience nor money, and to think i sold everything to Giga Guess in order to use the Samurai inn...:cry:

The game is looking pretty good i expecially like the way you made the bosses although the battle against the Sasquatch was a bit too long, but i guess that was due to the fact that i couldn´t gain any experience from previous battles.

[Slicksword45]

now i want to join the party group!

anyway everything is looking amazing still

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Your uber-ADHD NPCs such as Rye and Leeza are really hard to talk to. And in this game I MUST talk to everything. Curses!

[Giga Guess]

Unfortunately, catching up with Leeza is hardly worth it, too.

[Rase]

Okay, but if you stuck Leeza in a room full of cats she loved, you know that's basically what it'd look like. And I just always imagined Rye has having a TON of energy.


Unfortunately, catching up with Leeza is hardly worth it, too.
At the moment... Oops, did I say something? :p

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Well, as the sewers in FFVII seem to open into darkness that you can't move into, nor interact with, let's try the frontal assault. I like that more anyway :D

[Rye]

Whoa, I'm an NPC? I gotta see this!
