RGSS3 Scripting Tutorial Videos

Updated.

Hey, wanted to suggest regexpr sometime in the near future. It's a very confusing heap of stuff there and yet so necessary for notetagging.

 

I'd certainly appreciate it.

Finally Regular Expression is Done.

 

Welp, I've finally done the tutorial I wanted to do; I think I can rest easy now.

Wow dude, 50 episodes? That's crazy... nice work.

You're great, man. I learned so much following your tutorials. I have a question, though:

 

When you were explaining how to access the database, you showed $Data_System for a while, and that gave me an idea. I want to make an script that makes a permanent change of the database (precisely, after the event is called, I want the title screen to have a different graphic). But, obviously, after the player closes the game, once he starts the game again, everything is loaded from the database, and the data has only changed inside his save (what I'm trying to change is $data_system.title1_name). So, I though that some way to do it would be to make the event create a file, and when the game starts, make it check if the file exists and draw one graphic or the other with an if and an else. But I was wondering if there was a more elegant way to do it (i.e., make permanent changes in the database, and not just the variables in the save).

 

Thank you, and keep going with those great tutorials.

[DP3 188]

You cannot. The database itself cannot be modified via scripting (not permanently at least), that's all done directly through the database manager in the editor. As such any changes you make never gets saved. There are other ways of doing what you want but ultimately the easiest is to just save it into a variable and load it back in next time you start the game.

Thanks alot for this! I'm starting to learn how to create my own scripts as I've been following your Tutorials

*Additional tutorials added.

Wow these are great! I thank you for taking the time to do this! The tuts were easy to understand and they were very explanatory!

Hope you can think of some other things.

 

I love your accent btw!

great tutorials! I've just done tutorial 5, and I actually understand what's going on! I thought ruby was really different than java.

So, yeah great tutorial, I'm really going to watch them all!

[Gump 108]

Hey DP3, great tutorial series. I've watched a few of the later ones as I was intially looking for information on specific subjects. Thanks a lot I'll be crediting you under 'special thanks' in a couple of my future script releases.

 

I was wondering if you would be interested on making a video or two on Fibers? Something about understanding what they are and how to they work, and when its a good time to use them would be great.

[DP3 188]

When I get myself motivated to do so again, I'll make more tutorials, including that topic.

I'm currently watching a series of videos from Lynda.com that is plain old Ruby tutorials.  So far it is just reinforcing your earlier videos concerning variables, conditions, control statements, etc. etc.

 

I wanted to point out that your vids are very close to professionally crafted tutorial vids.

 

Again, thanks for the work you put into these and I think you will find you have helped many many people get over their "fear" of scripting.

[DP3 188]

There you go, Gump, Fibered!

[Gump 108]

There you go, Gump, Fibered!

 

Thanks! I just watched the tutorial and left you a comment on the video. Great stuff!

 

Would've been here months ago but I went inactive for a period of time there.

[The Dragon God 34]

 

Thanks for the videos. They are proving to be a great source for us beginner's to RGSS3. Do you think you can upload them in some hosting so they are downloadable. I would love to watch them in my laptop/ipad while offline

It's quite easy to download videos off youtube.

But I won't do that because you should be trying out the code yourself whilst you're watching them. You don't really learn anything if you watch me code without trying it yourself.

I'd certainly appreciate it.

Will get to it eventually

Probably soon...I don't know, but we'll get there.

 

Not easy to download if your using a PS3, I'd take that guy's suggestion. Hosting is free. It's a great way to show you appreciate your viewers. Do FOR them. HELP them.

Could anyone show me where to start if i wanted to create my own custom battle hud? For instance i get into a battle and its a totally different hud... kinda like moghunters hikari battle hud. I know very very little about scripting atm.

 

i actually might move this question to another forum, feel free to delete.

To start with your request, you first need to know how Windows are called via Window_Base. Try to create your own window first that is inherited from Window_Base. Once you're successful, you're up to the next step. Try to draw things in the window. Try to draw gauges and text.

Then, understand how Scene_Battle works and how you can call the window you've just created by creating an instance of it via Scene_Battle. Making a hud like Moghunter's is pretty advanced, since you need to learn how Bitmap works.

Thanks for creating this thread! I'm just new to RPG Maker and also would want to at least know some of the basics of Ruby (I'm not a programmer, sadly, but I should be able to understand the methods once learned). Your efforts are much appreciated, DP3

[Ralph Loxaerion 3]

Nice tutorials. Im gonna watch em all and hope to learn something cool. 

[+ 7heHopeMan 13]

Thank you sir for everything. Gonna watch 'em all and learn. Already 5 episodes in.

[jimfalcon 1]

I still watch your vids today. Thanks again DP. I wish all coders explained things the way you do.

 

If you're planning on making future vids and need ideas. Here are some things I frequently search for tutorials for:

 

--creating a custom in-game menu with different windows and everything

 

--a custom battle hud/battle system

 

--custom sprite walking/running animations and stuff.

 

no pressure. you've already won my respect for making those vids.

I'm seeing some positive comments about your series. I'll be watching them all later so I can start a bit of scripting! It was one of my favorite things to do when using GM, so I would like to script like madman in RM!  xD
