Random pitch shifting in RPG Maker you mean? You can already pitch shift sounds manually. I actually did a script that used random pitch shifting once. It was one of those scripts to make a sound play when a letter appears in the message box. I let it choose the pitch from a range rather then just use one. Though you are kinda limited in how much you can shift a sound up and down in RPG Maker for some reason.

Well, that makes it two things. However, the titlescreen image can be delayed.
Unless, of course you do have it done...lolz

I probably can't get you something high quality done in time for the demo, but I definitely can get it done in time for the full release.

As of now, I have part of the titlescreen image ensemble pretty much ready to go (I'm going to be using both layers but the image of Ramsey applying lipstick in the mirror is the lower layer only), and that's fine for now.

Also, the demo is going to be one of many.

Well, that's ~$16 you saved, so that's something, lolz
So, let me do that other thing, the map demo thing where all the tiles have their passability set.

I'll get this done and then send you a teeny demo.

Thank you soso much!

De ríen, mon cherie. (PM)

This is one of those quality shitposts that I could watch once and again, and always laugh at, lolz

Doom level design 101: The key is always a trap. Always.

Or, it's a high-value item, or the only medkit on the map, or some random space near a wall, or the second to last stair going down into a room larger than the corridor, or that damned floor type 11 that only invulnerability or id delta quit delta protects against, or just because you spawned on the map...lolz

Well don't do any of that.....

You will eventually get your demo out, like you said, it's 95% done. 

I'm not gonna pry about your on-call servant status but....I really hope it isn't as bad as it sounds. I really hope it isn't some 'obligation' of some sort, like a family member or loved one that you're having to take care of.

:(

Well, honestly if it's 95% done and you won't be able to work on it for a while, I would just release what you have at this point. Or heck, I am half tempted to ask for you to give it to me so I can help finish it, but realistically you know how hard it is for me to get myself to do anything so...

Ahh, my mistake. Well look, now you're making me look like a fool! Hurry up and get that demo posted or everyone's gonna know I'm full of it!

Lol I do hope to see your demo, soon though. One day I'll stop ditching projects or getting side tracked making plugins and actually post a demo of my own. Someday...

It'll be up by the end of the month. You can take that to the Pass Line (or the Don't Pass Line), lol

Oh? Do tell.

Mostly different ways of manipulating images with filters and stuff. Sometimes it's even handy to play with a site like this one which uses AI to make one image look like it was done in the style of another, but the results aren't always really that good. Also I find it much easier to create pictures from shapes then actually drawing sometimes, so I sometimes use Inkscape to make vector art..

I'll definitely have a look at those later, merci beaucoup, mi amour.

It does have it's own list of extensions and can use older firefox extensions due to it being a fork of an older firefox (but now it is quite different from firefox).

Any support for Chrome extensions?

No but there are some that are the same (like uBlock Origin). I was able to find equivalents for all of my Chrome extensions. But if you need a particular Chrome extension and they don't have an equivalent then it's prob not the browser for you

Wow,  \i[\v[#]] actually works! I didn't think it would at first glance, but it totally does! It should work for any text that is drawn with draw_text_ex, which I think by default is message boxes, item descriptions/help windows, choice lists, scrolling text, the battle log... and I think that's it? Most menus or other windows only use draw_text which doesn't support control codes at all, but most of them manually draw icons or other things anyway.

Here is a fun thing you can do with message control codes: You can technically set a variable to a string using script calls or the set variable script operand. This makes the \v[#] command a LOT more useful if you ask me.

Yeah, let us just say that this is outdated; my topic in Programming is the actual thing to be looking at. Since you have my project, you have both scripts at hand.

I mean...I'm not going to skip over an obstacle because it'll be there no matter what until the obstacle is eliminated, so if this stalls my demo release, then BITCH MODE ACTIVATED.

Lol this would never happen to me (my leftovers getting eaten). I don't leave leftovers XD

Protecting yourself from the ignorance and negligence of others is paramount. It's not often you'll find individuals who will be forthright with you out of the gate and say, "Head's up, I'm sick as a dog," when sharing things. Usually when someone has a terminal flu, you can kinda guess and avoid exposure, but sometimes they are still in that sore throat, congested sinuses stage, and there's really no way to know, unless they have the decency to let you know.

I don't eat or drink anything after anyone. Just be thankful it was a common bug, and not herpes type 1. 

I'm one of those 'waste not, want not' types; I hate wasting food.
...Yeah, I know... e.e

It's the message given by the Elder Race when they return to their home world at the end of 2112.
(I'm sure you've heard the song by now, right, @Kayzee, mi amour?)

I prefer this one. XD

To each their own, of course, lolz

When I was poking around I saw some things that makes me think maybe some games and/or types of controllers need to be configured in pig picture mode for some reason. Maybe because of the more detailed/active gui. Not sure if that's true though.

Anyway, I know I have told you this all the time but, while I think panic and/or outrage have their place (the squeaky wheel gets the grease after all, without people pushing for it nothing will ever get better), you really should be a bit more strategic about it I think.

That's just it though; I hadn't so much as touched any of those Big Picture settings or parts where Big Picture has to be enabled to do some sort of setting in quite some time. Even then, if I did, Big Picture would not start with Steam afterwards, so this is still very weird, stupid and unfairly frustrating, on top of all the frustrations I still have...

That I hope you have a look at soon...

I will try to look at it soon, but you know me. As much as I tend to like to help, I am not that reliable sometimes. Sometimes cause I am dealing with my own problems, and sometimes because I am just lazy. Either way, it doesn't really matter.

@AutumnAbsinthe Mainly it's me needing some feature to work and it is not working as intended.
Or, to be more precise, it's not working as I thought it would, and it's causing me a lot of frustration.
 

I feel ya there, friendo. I'd help out, but I have no idea how to. 

@AutumnAbsinthe That's alright; maybe @Kayzee will have a look at her inbox one of these coming days, lolz

Luigi in the international release jumps higher than any other character; this was not a mechanic any of the Doki Doki Panic characters had (same with wiggly legs when jumping). There is a character that does have a shorter jump than the other three, who Toad was a reskin of, but their ability to throw farther was removed in the process. It's these small changes that add up. Does it make the game better? No. It makes the game different. Also, hearts. I like those over mushrooms.

Poison mushrooms may have been a feature that has not been seen too often, specifically, but there have been features that essentially do the same thing. As for wind, rain, and weather in general, as well as other atmospherical attributes, Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and Mario Land 2 have these things. You also have better underwater stages in SMB3...

It might of been for a visual novel, not sure. It's more rumor than anything but it was discussed in Game Pro years back... (I wish I still had those...if mainly for the useful cheat codes lololol)

@PhoenixSoul I was just kidding about the movie, I saw it as a kid and was so disappointed. I've seen a few docs about it all though, and it is a shame how everything turned out :/

@PhoenixSoul & @Kayzee

As for romhacks, I'm so behind on playing the good mario hacks. I haven't done them in years, and I keep hearing about new ones. There's a lot of Super Metroid and Zelda hacks I really wanna try

Pretty sure Toad can still throw further and the character Luigi replaced could still jump the highest even if it had a different visual style. Also no, those things don't really make the game better. What does make the game better though is the extra animation frames they added for lots of objects, the ability to run, basically everything to do with phanto, a third Mouser being replaced with a whole new boss, and generally the game having more polish.

That actually effected gameplay and weren't just visual touches? Uh, where in Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and Mario Land 2? Because I don't remember anything of the sort. Especially Mario World. I know that game the best, and I can't remember anything like that, even visually. Perhaps the space levels in Super Mario Land 2 and some of Yoshi's Island's level gimmics sort of kind of fit your description, except that lumping all 'atmospherical attributes' together in the first place is disingenuous and you know it. What the Japanese SMB2 introduced was specifically a mechanic where wind would effect your jumps so you would jump further in one direction then the other. When has that reappeared in the Mario games? Super Mario Maker 2 is only one I can think of with that mechanic. Even the idea of Mario and Luigi playing slightly differently (which was something both versions of SMB2 did) didn't really show up again for a long while.

*gives you a yuletide snuggle*

Love ya too, mi amour...

*cuddles and rubs*

I'm speaking of lag reducing the FPS. Of course shit gets wonky. I see lots of screen tearing because VX Ace games max out my CPU usage. At least they run...

Yeah, I'll have a look at it later. If anything, I'll simply use a comment out method for later restoration.

Usually though the actually game code tries to run at 60 FPS and VX Ace skips drawing stuff some frames to have the frame rate catch up as best it can if things are being too slow. I haven't seen many situations where VX Ace will actually lag (though I know of a few, one of the most common one is drawing lots of text on a single frame), it will usually drop frames (skip drawing) instead.

Anyway you can actually adjust the target frame rate by setting Graphics.frame_rate in a script, but the timing of everything in the default scripts is based on frames, so setting this will basically speed up or slow down the whole game. Even the playtime timer that shows you how long you have been playing the game is actually the total count of frames that have past divided by the frame rate.

It would be much more accurate if it used ruby's built in Time module. I tend to prefer to use the Time module rather then using the total frame count for things that are timing related in my scripts actually, though it may be a bit less efficient I guess. The Time module is also neat because you can do abstract calculations between dates/times! You might remember a while ago I was using it to experiment with makeing my own lunisolar calendar system. It basically worked by counting the days from Dec 21st 2010, which was the last time there was a full moon on the day of the winter solstice. I should fiddle with that more...

I probably end up with a frame skip rate of fifty percent most of the time because I use a lot of scripts and the resolution is always maxed out at 480px/h. I mean, if I were to set it to 420px/h, I'd have to set the width to 560px, and what's the point?

Yeah; I've tried this before and it crashes every damn time, lol (likely because of the way timing is set up)

I still have that as a test project somewhere. I agree; you should do more with it.

Blitz is a title I missed out on playing though...

I've only ever played Guitar Hero. <shrug emoji>

I mostly have only played Rock Band charts via Phase Shift or Clone Hero, rhythm game clones.

I do have Rock Band Unplugged, the closest game I have to Blitz. The PSP quality audio hasn't aged well though, lolz

It'll be something I try to keep in mind. I often forget that I can use [Ctrl]+[Shift]+F to search the entire script section...

It's handy for sure! It might not always tell you exactly what you want to know, but it can really help track some things down!

It's too bad that the feature isn't extended so that some key combination like [Ctrl]+[F3] would scroll through all the instances of the queried keyword...lol

Remember the mean f*ck with giant scissors from Clock Tower? That one too.

For an arse kicking...lolz

The only clock tower game I really played was the first one. I mean the real first one on the SNES.

I haven't played any of the Clock Tower games, I just know that they exist, and know about that one thing with the giant scissors.

They expected the community to come through like so many times before. There's not a lot for it, though. I have Panda Maru's free MV tiles resized for Ace, so I don't even miss out on them.

PandaMaru is on par with Celianna's skills. I've never talked with Panda, so I don't know what they're like...
