The link works fine for me. Here's an alternative for you if it continues to not work however:

Realistic?

 

EDIT: An error.

Ah, I thought I fixed that! Well, hoping it's the error I'm thinking of, I updated the pastebin to fix.

Works perfectly now.

 

Nice work Vlue.

Can it be more than 5 ingredients and scrollable unlike CSCA craft which lack of scroll feature? 

[Vlue 269]

You can have as many ingredients as you want, but it won't display right in the crafting menu. I suppose I should fix that.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMM... i maybe use this in my project... l have an "alchemist" (not an alchemist really but somwhat like that) character (the one i'm using in my avatar )  it's an interesting system to implement... and pretty easy to configure!

 

Nice script Vlue

[Wren 179]

Vlue, you are pretty darn awesome, for being a cool person who shares their bombtastic scripts.  I also subscribed to your steam workshop collection.  I need to figure out exactly how many of your scripts I should use...

I'm pretty much with ideas with crafting and that would be great. Thanks for agreeing to add scrollable option for more than 5 item ingredient

[Demintika 63]

Realistic is where you can put anything you like and it results a custom item (outside of database) with effects come from the ingredients logically.

[Maliki 33]

I have a crafting system, but I'd like it to break down items into other ones as well.

 

Example: Fire gem breaks down into Fire Essence.

Fire Essence x3 makes Hi-Fire Gem

 

Is that possible with this script?

[Vlue 269]

You can make a recipe that requires 1 Fire gem and rewards 1 fire essence, then a recipe that requires 3 fire essence and makes 1 hi-fire gem, and etc.

[Amber 1]

When I use learn_recipe(#). Some recipes show up and some don't show up

[Vlue 269]

Recipes you know, but don't have the skill level to craft, will not show up in the list.

[Amber 1]

Oh right.. thanks for heads up

It's not one of the easier scripts to set up!

To add a new recipe, just go to the script editor, and start typing on a new line right after the last recipe. The bare minimum for a recipe is:

 

ID = { :result => [],

:materials => [[]] },

 

So for example, a recipe (we'll say recipe #3) that takes 1 item id1 and 1 weapon id2 to make 1 item id3 would be:

 

3 = { :result => [0,3,1],

:materials => [ [0,1,1] , [1,2,1] ], },

 

And if you wanted to add any of the other recipe options it'd be after materials on a new line and before the },

i.e.

 

3 = { :result => [0,3,1],

:materials => [ [0,1,1] , [1,2,1] ],

:level => 25,

:category => :Alchemy, },

Hey Vlue, can you help me? I can't for the love of me figure out how to bring up the crafting menu. When I've made an event with the script call:

 

$crafting_category = :craft

SceneManager.call(Scene_Crafting)

 

All it does is crash on me when I attempt to use it, with an error saying:

 

Script 'Vlue Crafting' line 303: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method 'values' for nil:NilClass

 

I'm horrible with scripts, so it's probably an error on my part. I've made sure that no settings or lines of codes have been altered however, so it's probably something with how I try to use it. Mind helping me out? 

 

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, the error fixed itself when I started a new game. Thanks for the great script!

Hey, I'm still a little new to RPG maker and am having a few issues with this script.

I've tried an event with the script call:

 

 $crafting_category = :craft

SceneManager.call(Scene_Crafting)

 

But it crashes with the message: 

Script 'Window Selectable' line 373: NoMethodError occurred.

 

undefined method '< for nil:NilClass

 

Have tried this with a saved game file and by starting a New Game.

 

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

 

EDIT: I have also tried this with a fresh project with no other addons, same result.

Scrolling =/= font size. I like better scrolling than making font smaller which clutter the items

Hi, I have a question about categories. I wish to show just two categories when I call the craft scene. I tinkered around with my event a bit but with no luck. Currently my event is setup like this:

$crafting_category = :Blacksmith
SceneManager.call(Scene_Crafting)

So I get no categories to chose from, just the Blacksmith one. I tried with:
 

$crafting_category = :Blacksmith, :Armorer,
SceneManager.call(Scene_Crafting)

And I get an error about nil class. Will appreciate any help. ^^

Hey Vlue beautiful script like all your others 

Just wondering how I can override the recipe being hidden when not high enough level, as would like the player to be able to see what they are working towards unlocking
