Final Fantasy 7 Materia

[Triper 3]

Ok, thx for the info and that last part probably I missed it, thx.

[daltval 2]

I have removed every script except latest versions of "Victor Engine" and "Materia", I keep getting error â€˜materia’ line 854: TypeError occured. can’t convert Fixnum into Arrayâ€â€¦ What am I missing? Please help. I tried the rewritten version of the script posted here as well, it was a total nightmare, I have been trying to get this to function for hours. I can equip materia, but at the end of ANY battle, crash with the above error message. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I am about to give up entirely. I want this to work so bad that I can taste it, but I am afraid that it never will.

hmmm odd all i can suggest is if i post a demo (which i thought i had) and you just edit that would that be usefull?

I'm really sorry for necroposting, but I found and fixed three little bugs in the script dealing with Elemental and Added Effect. I know how busy Victor is, and he probably would take forever to deal with these bugs since these trifling matters are just way much beneath him.

 

I found that the effects for these two features always stayed at level 1. Put another way, the effects obtained upon level up for these two materia were ignored. For example, an Elemental materia with a 25% effect for each level would always give a 25% effect regardless of level.

 

But I found a way to fix that with the following code.

 

in method: materia_element_rate around line 1453

 

 

  def materia_element_rate(id)
    paired_materia.inject(0.0) do |r, pair|
      m = pair[:main].effect(:elemental)
      o = pair[:other].elements?(id)
      v = (pair[:type] == :armor && o) ? -m : 0
      r += v * pair[:main].level
      #the code in the previous line before was simply "r += v"
    end
  end

 

in method: materia_state_rate around line 1464

 

 

  def materia_state_rate(id)
    paired_materia.inject(0.0) do |r, pair|
      m = pair[:main].effect(:added_effect)
      o = pair[:other].states?(id)
      v = (pair[:type] == :armor && o) ? -m : 0
      r += v * pair[:main].level
      #previous line was simply "r += v"
    end
  end

 

 

 

aaand in materia_atk_states_rate method around line 1494

 

 

 

  def materia_atk_states_rate(id)
    paired_materia.inject(0.0) do |r, pair|
      m = pair[:main].effect(:added_effect)
      o = pair[:other].states?(id)
      v = (pair[:type] == :weapon && o) ? m : 0
      r += v * pair[:main].level
      #again previous line was just "r += v"
    end
  end

 

 

So basically, just change the line where r is calculated in the materia_element_rate, materia_state_rate and materia_atk_states_rate methods. Thought I would share so people use this awesome script to the best of its capability

Thanks joeyjoejoe for your contribute

 

I found another bug.

When you use script call to equip a materia to an actor, this materia is taken from the database i think. But, when the materia level up, also the same type of materia in the shop level up, O.o

[Jolt Android 36]

Yeah I noticed that happening too sometimes, Shido. Thankfully I don't have too many uses for equipping actors using scripts (and when I do use it hasn't given me that issue so far)

Edited September 13, 2014 by joeyjoejoe

[ShidoLionheart 5]

I think that to evitate this I will use a normal event that give me the materia and then equip on the actor with normal event options

I know this is an older post but I jus recently tried out this script and have it workin for the most part.

 

Im not too familiar with scripting, I read thru a lot of tutorials and the instructions in headers of scripts, yet ibcant figure out how to properly script the shop event and where to put it.

 

Can someone please explain how to do it and where I need to put the shop code?

[ShidoLionheart 5]

Making the Shop is incredibly easy, don't worry.

You make an Event, like a normal shop, but before the Shop you must use a comment line <materia shop> like this screen that I made.

The materia are simply armors, so you must add them normally in the shop of the event.

[noobinator 0]

Thanks I will try that out when I get home!

[Blackcloud 1]

Hello,

I wanted to try this script out, but I cant download it from your site.

It says its disabled because of to much traffic.

Could you maybe reupload it on an other site?

I really want to try your script .

 

*edit

 

Nvm, I found it on your site x)

I know this thread has been dormant for a long time but I'm looking to get something like this working in the game I'm making at the moment, could anyone tell me how straight forward it would be to edit this script to customize the actions performed when certain materia is equipped? Like if I wanted to strip it down and overhaul it to have custom weapons with different slots compared to how FFVII originally had them set up and then creating a new library of materia from scratch all new effects and stats etc

[Nate McCloud 2]

Really sorry for necroposting! I'm trying to figure out how to create "Master Materia" that gives multiple abilities on a single materia level (e.g. all magic, all commands, etc.) but no matter what I try, I can't get it to function that way!

• I've tried setting all the skills to the first materia level, but that just causes the materia to only give the last abilities on the list.
• I've tried setting each one to a different level while only giving the materia a maximum of 1 level, but surprise surprise, only the first level ability was granted.
• I've tried setting each one to a different level, and making each level take 0 AP to reach, but it stayed at Level 1 at the first level, then mastered and bred after the first battle.

Is it just not possible to create Master Materia with this system? That was one of the things that drew me to the Materia system in FF7, and I was eager to recreate that sense of pure, blissful OPness in my own game.

If not, I would like to propose a couple of edits to this plugin:

1. Either:
   1. allow arrays of skills to be assigned to each level, or
   2. allow multiple skill entries to share the same level
2. Add a notetag entry to disable breeding of specific materia even if Materia Breeding is enabled.

EDIT: I found out how to create a Master Materia: by adding the skills via the armor effects. Even so, it would be nice to be able to assign multiple skills per level, in case you still want some abilities to be locked behind levels.

Found the answer to my issue, and am sharing it with others.

You should be able to block breeding with a simple change like this.

Line 737, then use notetag <no breed> (not case sensitive)

  def gain_ap(n, growth)
    old_level = level
    @ap += (n * growth).to_i
    breedoff = note =~ /<NO BREED>/i ? true : false
    if Materia_Breeding && old_level < max_level && level == max_level
      $game_party.gain_materia($data_armors[@id]) unless breedoff == true
    end
  end

For the multiple skills at one level you should just be able to do a note tag like this

<skills: 5: 9, 5: 12, 5: 15, 5: 22> etc

Glad you figured out the master materia. True it doesn't have a note tag to say give me all commands or all magics or all skills. You have to set it up manually.

I'll have to give that first thing a try!

As for the multiple skills at one level, that was the first thing I tried. The result: only the last skill of that level was given to me.

I just need to figure out how to get the lines to draw properly. Currently it doubles up when there are more than one entry for a skill level.

Figured it out. I was missing the effect name drawn at the bottom, which was in another method.

This mod makes the materia system not compatible with other scripts that adjust skills learned.

This is wonderful! Thank you for the mod script!

[roninator2 257]

No problem. This helped me discover an issue I had with my materia script. (I modified VE - Materia to fit my game) I have it set up in my game to show materia in the items menu. But not be there if equipped. Problem was when unequipping you got two of that materia. This helped me find that I had a second gain_item line in the code.

Plus now I've adapted this for my game and now I can specify no breeding as well. So thanks for that.

Wonderful!  I'm glad you stood to gain from it, as well!

Also, I made some edits to the documentation of your script mod so that it would show up in the appropriate places in the RMMV plugin window...as well as edits to the documentation of the original plugin. Now the parameters under the header parameters are shown as children of those headers, most of the parameters that take numbers are now actual number parameters, the Materia Display Type parameter is a dropdown list, and the two true/false parameters are now actual boolean parameters.

Additionally, I did have one more problem I've run into: Sure, I've figured out how to create a Master Materia, but what I don't know is how to make it require mastered component materias to make.
