Using the RPG frame [NEW PROBLEM]

[Shadow Ninja]

Yes. Use the if current_hp>=max_hp + 1 then current_hp=max_hp. Where to put this? I have no idea since I can't understand the your rpg frame anymore (it's a beyond me).

thx for the help. i think i know where to put it. the frame im using isnt pretty, but it works. now... if i only had some BG art...

well, until i can figure out how to cut down the code for the fighting system, ill work on weapon effects, armor effects and imagemaps.

Personally for me it's no possible to have more hp that hpmax !

Code: Select all

if current_hp > max_hp:
   $ current_hp = max_hp

for change bar stat i have change the bar stat:

Code: Select all

                
ui.bar(pvmax_stat , pv_stat ,
                          xmaximum=150,
                          left_bar=Frame("barrepv_full.png", 12, 0),
                          right_bar=Frame("barrevide.png", 12, 0),
                          thumb=None,
                          thumb_shadow=None)
ui.close()

i have two picture the first for the full bar stat the second for the empty !

Sorry for reviving a dead topic. I was just trying to get the hang of ui functions. I seem to have followed the script almost identical to shadow ninja. I can't seem to get it to run. Any help?

I'm pretty sure the problem is that you use quotation marks for numbers. Things like wolfmxhp are numbers and shouldn't be placed in quotation marks, so it should look something like this:

Code: Select all

...
label fight(ename="Wolf", elevel=wolflevel, ehp=wolfhp, emaxhp=wolfmxhp, pname="%(povname)s", plevel=mylevel, php=myhp, pmaxhp=mymaxhp):
    $ stats_frame(pname, plevel, php, pmaxhp, xalign=.02, yalign=.05)
    $ stats_frame(ename, elevel, ehp, emaxhp, xalign=.98, yalin=.05)
    
    return
    
label start:

    call fight(ename="Wolf", elevel=wolflevel, ehp=wolfhp, emaxhp=wolfmxhp) from _call_fight_1

When all you have is a hammer...

Wouldn't scirra Construct or another engine like RPGmaker be better for this kind of game than Ren'Py?

[Shadow Ninja]

When all you have is a hammer...

Wouldn't scirra Construct or another engine like RPGmaker be better for this kind of game than Ren'Py?

Yes, it might be, but the idea is to create a framework that works in Ren'Py to make it a nearly universal engine. As soon as I've finished with coding and removing all unnecessary lines of script, I'm hoping to submit this as a workable frame for the Ren'Py cookbook.

That being said, I'm going to have one heck of a time changing this to make it look better... I think I'll make several versions of the RPG Frame, then people can use them the way they want (for example, if you wanted a simple turn based frame like in the Pokemon games or an ATB system like in Final Fantasy)

Would anyone use the frames if I made & explained them thoroughly?

[Vatina]

Yes, if I definitely would if I could figure out how to use them. This has me interested.

[Shadow Ninja]

NOTE: I am using Pokemon as an example because the system I am coding is based directly off the newer Pokemon games. However, you can modify it to be pretty much anything, though. Just change the names, stats, etc.

Ok, the Pokemon framework is in progress, with the hardest part being finding a way to store the stats for the Pokemon. I suppose I could remove a few unneeded elements, such as a Pokemon's "nature" and "happiness", however, it could pose problems later if someone wanted to use it for an actual Pokemon game... Nah, I think I'll just bite the bullet and add the extra code.

Hmmm... so far the HUD in the battle system is the easier part of the code. I'm thinking the best solution is going to be to program in a few Pokemon (3 starters to choose from and an enemy to battle, as if you were starting a new game), and then just document how to custom-tailor the code to add more enemies or party members later. I have a system for having a max of 6 Pokemon in your party, but you won't have more than one in the demo. I'll also document the idea for how to switch party members (like at a Poke-center PC in the games), but I won't code it unless someone really wants me to...

I'm also figuring out how to use the Ren'Py Tile engine so the player can walk around in the game... but that's a different project, one I will save for after these RPG frames.

As for the Final Fantasy Frame, the hardest part will be the ATB system, as well as calculating damage done by an attack. The weapons won't be that difficult, as they only add to a character's strength usually.

Oh, and I think I just figured out how to get the animated effect for the ATB bars or for a Pokemon's HP going down (previous system simply had it disappear). I'll explain that as well.

Thx everyone who cared enough to read to the end of my post. I'll update it ASAP.

Ok, so I'm running into a few problems with the script. For example, I need a set of variables to randomize the IV stats for Pokemon. However, after writing the code and running lint, it comes back with an error:

Relevant Script:

# You can place the script of your game in this file.

    $ hp_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)

    $ spd_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)

Any ideas?

[PyTom]

You can't get randomness during an init block. You should move the calls to right after label start.

[Shadow Ninja]

does that mean im going to have to move all the variables that rely on those random numbers to right after the start label as well?

[JQuartz]

does that mean im going to have to move all the variables that rely on those random numbers to right after the start label as well?

You mean like this?:

Code: Select all

init:

    $ hp_iv_gen = 0
    $ atk_iv_gen = 0
    $ def_iv_gen =  0
    $ sp_atk_iv_gen = 0
    $ sp_def_iv_gen = 0
    $ spd_iv_gen = 0
    

label start:

    $ hp_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)
    $ atk_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)
    $ def_iv_gen =  renpy.random.randint(0, 31)
    $ sp_atk_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)
    $ sp_def_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)
    $ spd_iv_gen = renpy.random.randint(0, 31)

[Shadow Ninja]

ok. I am trying to figure out how to assign characteristics to different moves (power points, move type, whether its a physical move or special move, etc. ) any ideas on how that could work? all i have now is:

Code: Select all

if player_selected_move == "Tackle":
    $ move_type = "Normal
    $ move_power = 35
    $ move_effect = "No_Effect"
    $ move_power_points = 35
    $ move_max_power_points = 35
    $ move_accuracy = 1
    $ move_attacks_first = False
    $ move_attacks_last = False

the problem with this system is that i have to have one set of all the different moves for the player, and one for the opponent... is there an easier way of doing this?

[chronoluminaire]

One approach would be to create your own Character objects, which have those properties. Then your code could look like:

Code: Select all

python:
  if opponent_attack_type == 'physical':
    Player.HP -= Opponent.Physical_damage
  elif opponent_attack_type == 'magic':
    Player.HP -= Opponent.Magic_damage
  if Player.HP <= 0:
    renpy.jump('game_over')

If you don't want to go that far, another approach would be to have an array for each property such as HP, Accuracy etc. Then your code could look like:

Code: Select all

python:
  if attack_type[opponent] == 'physical':
    HP[Player] -= Physical_damage[Opponent]
  elif attack_type[opponent] == 'magic':
    HP[Player] -= Magic_damage[Opponent]
  if HP[Player] <= 0:
    renpy.jump('game_over')

That way doesn't need you to create your own objects, but it's a bit more fiddly to code.

Either way, though, you are basically going to have to be able to do some programming to write an RPG in Ren'Py. There's no way around that. If you can't program, RPG Maker or one of those products might be a better choice.
