RPG Battle Engine - Alpha 7.5, downloads in first post

[Eiliya]

So it's been almost a week since I posted my question, and after having looked around on the dates of other posts in this thread, I'm guessing people have left this battle engine behind or something. I'm gonna try my best to make do on my own, but I'm leaning towards hiring someone to do a full new system for me instead, since I'm way to dumb to understand how to do it on my own.

It's obviously possible to have a predefined container of battlers and pick specific battlers for each setup but since you're asking this question, you also want to know how. The latter depends on how your battlers are defined, if you just store the relative data and create/level them up when the battle starts (*I do that a lot for mobs) abd etc.

The author hasn't been seen here for a while now and the code is too large to remember how to mod it properly without rereading huge bits of it. I think that's why most questions around here go unanswered.

'tis a bit saddening to hear that Jake seems to be missing in action.

Well, I'm still struggling with figuring out how to properly connect the various aspects of the engine. I know how the basic combat works, and am currently trying to figure out how to make the characters level up. I also want to make new stuff, like items and abilities, but I have no idea how to do that. Sure, I can replicate (and power-up) the ones that are currently there, but I can't find any info at all on how to add new stuff (like status allignments, for example, or elemental properties).

I think the latest release does cover attributes (earth, fire, water, whatever). I don't remember the exact .rpy file but its there. Leveling can be done outside the battle engine itself but you'll need to do your own stat system.

So, I've been getting this problem and I honestly don't know what to do. I just copied Jake's code for an active battle, it's just that I don't understand what the problem could be...

My battle script...

Code: Select all

label softibattle:
    play music "softitheme.mp3"
    python:
        
        battle = Battle(ActiveSchema())

        fieldSprite = BattlefieldSprite('Snowdin')
        battlefield = SimpleBattlefield(fieldSprite)
        battle.SetBattlefield(battlefield)
        
        battle.AddFaction("Player", playerFaction=True)
        
        playerSprite = BattleSprite('ph', anchor=(0.5, 0.75))
        player = PlayerFighter("[name]", Speed=11, Attack=20, Defence=20, ) 
        player.RegisterSkill(Library.Skills.PunchAttack)
        player.RegisterSkill(Library.Skills.Skip)
        battle.AddFighter(player)
        
        battle.AddFaction('Enemies', playerFaction=False)
        
        banditSprite = BattleSprite('ph', anchor=(0.5, 0.75), placeMark=(0,-75))
        
        bandit1 = SimpleAIFighter("Bandit 1", Speed=10, Attack=15, Defence=8,)
        bandit1.RegisterSkill(Library.Skills.KnifeAttack, 1)
        battle.AddFighter(bandit1)

        
        battle.AddExtra(RPGDamage(offset=(0, -75)))
        battle.AddExtra(RPGDeath())
        battle.AddExtra(ActiveDisplay("Player", {"HP": "Health", "Move": "Move", "MP":"MP"}))
        battle.AddExtra(RPGActionBob())
        battle.AddExtra(SimpleWinCondition())
        
        battle.Start()
        
        winner = battle.Won
    
    if (winner == 'Player'):
            jump softifate
    else:
        jump softigameover
jump start

The download links are all fine, but Jake's website http://www.eviscerate.net is down, so nobody can get in contact with him or can license the engine for commercial purposes from him.

[Ryue]

Ah that he meant

there might even be a slight problem if the site ever takes down the links to the code. every link is connected to:

i do not know what a "security copy" is (nothing from google), but as everyone knows, nothing stays forever.

[Ryue]

security copy I mean upload the version into this thread

I tried opening up battle engine on the current version of ren'py (6.99.11.1749), seems like battle engine is glitching out on it. Anyone facing a similar issue?

I knew this was going to happen, the old renpy gui is unable to get the correct hotspots. I think many of the rpg or cookbook codes won't work well with the new gui.
