Job Proficiency and Rewards

Emerald · February 4, 2012

Just to torture the player with work *harharhar*

Current Version: v1.3

Introduction

This is just a small script which is used as a easy workaround for all the variables wasted to job levels and experience. Instead, this script use a whole new class as variables and with only 1 script call, you can change exp, level and give the player rewards for their hard work!

Features

Change job experience with one simple script call
Change the max level of a job, just by changing the exp table
Change the initial level of a job
A pop-up window which alerts the player if a job level has increased (optional)
Exp. degrading (optional)
Random rewards for different sorts of chores (not jobs, so you can i.e. make 10 different sets of random rewards for 1 job)

Script

#============================================================================
# Jobs Profficiency & Rewards v1.3
# By Emerald
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# You're free to use the script for any game, as long as you give credits
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version History
# 1.0 -> Started script. Added all basic values (configuration, Job Levels,
#		Job Exp., Exp. Degrade, Job Drops).
# 1.1 -> Added a window which appears when a job level increases.
# 1.2 -> Added a method which makes changes to DataManager
#		unnecessary.
# 1.3 -> Updated DataManager methods to avoid bugs while loading savefiles.
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# With this script, you can easily make evented jobs without having to go
# through the trouble of wasting variables or conditional branches.
#
# Instructions:
#
# Just as always, put this script between â–¼ Materials and â–¼ Main (way to cliche
# people).
#
# To define the different jobs and their exp to next level/max level, go to
# Jobs. Use the following syntax:
#
# Job ID => [exp to next level, ..., initial level]
#
# Job ID of the first job should be 1 and the following number of any subsequent
# job.
# Exp to next level is how much exp. the player must get in this job to level up.
# You can put as many of these in the array as you want. The final Max Level is
# the same as the amount of times you've added an 'exp to next level' element + 1.
# Initial level is the starting level of the player in the job. You can just leave
# it at 1. NOTE  that the exp in the very first element is the exp needed to reach
# level 2, not the level which comes after the initial level. Also, NEVER set the
# initial level to 0.
#
#
# To define all the drops gained by doing a job, go to Drops. Use this syntax:
#
# Sort ID => [[Drop Type, Drop Amount, Drop Random Amount, Drop Chance, Drop Rand Incr, Drop Chan Incr, Drop ID]]
#
# Sort ID is just an ID to use in the method for executing the drop check.
# Drop Type defines WHAT is dropped. Drop types are:
# 0 - Item
# 1 - Weapon
# 2 - Armor
# 3 - Gold
# 4 - Job Experience
# Drop Amount is the standard amount gained of the drop.
# Drop Random Amount is the limit of the random amount of drop gained.
# Chance is the chance that the player gets the drop. Like 75 is 75% chance.
# Drop Rand Incr is the value that Drop Random Amount will be multiplied with for
# every level higher than 1. Note that if you want to have a 10% increase, use
# 1.10, not 10.00.
# Drop Chan Incr is the same as Drop Rand Incr, but this time for the chance.
# Drop ID is the ID of what is dropped. If the Drop Type is 3, you can leave this
# out. If the Drop Type is 0, 1 or 2 the Drop ID is the ID of the item gained.
# If the Drop Type is 4, the Drop ID is the ID of the job to which experience is
# added.
#
#
# At the moment the game should check if anything is gained from the job, use
# $jobs_experience.random_drops(sort, job) in a script call command. Sort is the
# Sort ID within Drops. Job is the Job ID to which the sort belongs.
#
# You can also use $jobs_experience.level(job id) to get the level of the job with
# job id.
#
#
# Module EME
# JOB_LEVEL_VOCAB | this is the name of the levels for jobs, shown in the level up
#				   window.
# JOB_NAMES	   | this is an array containing all the names for the jobs. Set to
#				   nil if a job doesn't have a name.
# JOB_SOUND	   | this is the sound to be played when job level increases. Set
#				   nil if you don't want a sound to be played.
# JOB_SOUND2	  | this is the sound to be played when job level decreases. Set
#				   nil if you don't want a sound to be played.
# LVL_WNDW_WAIT   | this is the amount of frames to wait before the level up
#				   window disappears.
# LVL_WNDW_SKIN   | skin of the window shown upon job level up. Must be in the
#				   folder System. Don't add the extension name.
# JOB_WNDW_SHOW   | set to true if you want the job level up window to appear.
#
#
# OPTIONAL
# If you want to degrade exp/levels as time goes by, set LOST_EXP to the amount
# of exp which is lost. Create a new Common Event. Set the trigger to Paralell
# Process. Use the script call command and enter:
#
# wait(frames)
# $jobs_experience.exp_degrade
#
# Where frames is the amount of frames before the player loses LOST_EXP.
# NOTE that EVERY job loses exp. equal to LOST_EXP. Also, the event KEEPS RUNNING,
# even when the player is doing a job. Unless the required exp. is a very high
# amount, keep degrade time high! Last, the Job Level will NOT decrease until
# the exp. for that job is equal to 0.

UPDATE to v1.2

Added changes to DataManager

Note that the the changes to DataManager previously mentioned in the Instructions ($jobs_experience = Job_Experience.new etc.) are now unecessary!!

DJPrichard · February 13, 2012

OMG, again you make perfect script for hard working developers! Where do you get ideas? Thumbs up! Definitely will check it out!

Emerald · February 14, 2012

Thanks!

I made EES because I always had trouble with Set Bonuses in RMVX due to custom slots, and since I was starting to learn scripting I made that one. And this one was a request for ShadowFox ^^

Emerald · February 17, 2012

Small update!

Changed some code to fix a no saving problem.

Mephistox · February 17, 2012

This part of the code:

module DataManager

 class << self
alias eme_jpr_create_objects create_game_objects
alias eme_jpr_make_contents make_save_contents
alias eme_jpr_extract_contents extract_save_contents
 end

 def self.create_game_objects
eme_jpr_create_objects
$jobs_experience = Job_Experience.new
 end

 def self.make_save_contents
contents = eme_jpr_make_contents
contents[:jobs] = $jobs_experience
return contents
 end

 def self.extract_save_contents(contents)
eme_jpr_extract_contents(contents)
$jobs_experience = contents[:jobs]
 end

end

Is not neccessary to put the 'self' again, because you defined that before (class << self). and this will cause that the $jobs_experience will not be saved.

btw, nice work.

Edited February 17, 2012 by Mephistox

Emerald · February 18, 2012

Do you mean I have to remove class << self and its end? If I do that, you get a script error of an undefined method. You must add class << self to alias methods in a module. Also, in RMVX Ace there's a method with plays a buzzer sounds and deletes a save file if you try to save, but saving failed (also applies for loading).

And thanks. ^^

Edited February 18, 2012 by Emerald

Mephistox · February 18, 2012

I mean, you must remove the 'self' from the methods, because you defined that the methods belongs to the module class before.

Not remove the "class << self", but remove the:

def self.method  => def method

that's the reason why your global isn't saving or loading.

Edited February 18, 2012 by Mephistox

Emerald · February 18, 2012

Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining, changed it ^^

Emerald · February 25, 2012

UPDATED to v1.3

Just a small bugfix with loading savefiles. (at least, this solved my problem)

Plebian · April 28, 2012

ooooooooo! cool!

Abysinian · June 2, 2012

Hey,

I've just started using your script and it's working great. I was just wondering whether there's a way to check the players Exp in a profession?

I've got an item that calls a Common Event which tells them their Levels, but Exp would be good to have too.

Cheers.

Emerald · June 4, 2012

$job_experience[job_identifier] returns the current exp of the job with identifier job_identifier.

So with the standard config of the script, you would use $job_experience[1].

Edited June 4, 2012 by Emerald

Bunni89 · October 13, 2012

Hi, sorry if this sounds very dumb but... how would you use this script? How do you call it up when you make an event that can be used for a job? I'm looking at this and feeling baffled because I can see the whole drop system and EXP but not actually how I'd make it so that an event on a tree would cause wood to drop and give EXP. Probably I missed something very obvious here!

EDIT: ah, would it be script calling $jobs_experience.random_drops(sort, job)? I think I made a grammar flub in my head and didn't register that I was meant to use it because the instructions say 'at this point the game will check for drops, so use this' which made me think it was step 2 in the process or something.

Edited October 13, 2012 by Bunni89

Azkarath · October 13, 2012

Hey

Have the same problem as Bonni89, it really looks like the thing I have been looking for, just not sure how to make it work in my game.

Like the example bonni89 give:

to make a tree event where wood would drop and you would get job exp..

Also does the job show in the menu? And if not is it possible to make it show up in there?

+ Shadow Fox · November 18, 2012

Well, as far as I know it does not show the job in the menu. And I was the one that requested this script, but you CAN show the level of the job by using variables and an event.

But having it in the menu is a ok idea, but just not what I was after from what I can remember.

Edited November 18, 2012 by Shadow Fox

ninja716 · July 13, 2013

Hey thanks for the script, but is there anyway you could make a tutorial on how to make variable and events to show all that? i've read almost everything and still dont understand how this is meant to be setup, hope you guys can give me a hint or something

Thanks very much!

+ Shadow Fox · July 13, 2013

I'll try to explain everything as well as upload a demo. Not sure how successful I will be with my net being slow as.

But basically you make a common event with a parallel process

$game_variables[XX] = $jobs_experience[X]

Then all you do next is when you make npc that shows the variable within a message, but for some odd reason it still does not work right, so I might be doing something wrong, but here is the demo.

I hope this demo helps, as it got most of it to work.

Job Demo.zip

ninja716 · July 18, 2013

hey thanks for helping me out to both of you! and great demo, it perfectly worekd fine for me also, well thanks again!

ninja716 · July 18, 2013

Hey just a little question to this script, is there any possible way to show the exp info, and why does the these events keep chancing infos? Example when i check " mining info" it sometimes changing suddenly to a different number:S

+ Shadow Fox · July 21, 2013

I'm not sure why it would do that.Maybe I'm doing it wrong, or something. Emerald might be able to help.

+ Shadow Fox · September 23, 2013

Well, the number should change if you choose to have the job exp degrade. But I'm checking it out with testing as much as I can.

Bluevvorld · November 30, 2013

Hey ! first of all thank you for the awesome script, but i have one question how can do so lets say if i want mining exp stack up for every level i gain

.. and one more question how can i make different drops to one job? example if i want the actor to cut better trees when i reach level 2? but i cant stil cut lvl 1 tree and gain Log type 1

but if i want to cut level 2 trees i get type 2 logs.

Hope i don't bother you with these questions.
