DMO - Random Equip Script

[DasMoony 11]

Loosing some words about first:

It's me again... I think I should finally work on at my project but browsing the forums and find some little challenges seems to be more fun at the moment. Today I saw someone who mentioned that making a random equip script would be incredible hard or even impossible. I wanted to know and this is my result

 

Features:

â— Creates Random Weapons or Armors based upon a template

â— Supports pre- and suffixes

â— Bind fix values to properties or make them random

â— Properties also support traits, but there's nothing random at the moment about this and it

â— Support for Notes, so you can use notetags from other scripts

â— Choose if a property is for armors or weapons.

â— Properties have a quality weight

 

Screenshot

Erm.. I don't think that one's needed. But here are some example names wit a 'Sword' as template:

â— Sword of Luck

â— Very sharp Sword

â— Very sharp Lucky Sword of a Thief

 

How to use

You can find detailed instructions in the script or better: check the manual.

 

Manual

Urm well...I thought it may be needed and so here you go:

Manual.pdf

 

Known Problems

â— I could not find any nice solution to save the Items in another way then to the database itself. While for players this won't be a problem it will be one for the dev. When you save your project you will overwrite the random items. Same problem as with the Trial work-around about scripting. I thought about saving a copy of the files I need and overwrite the originals with them but then you could not add anymore weapon or armors So I'm still thinking about a appropriate solution.

#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# â–  Features (or 6 reasons why to use this one):
#   â— Creates Random Weapons or Armors based upon a template
#   â— Supports Pre- and Suffixes
#   â— Bind fix values to pre- and suffixes OR make them random
#   â— Also supports traits but they can't determined by random
#   â— Supports Notetags, so most scripts based upon them should be compatible
#   â— Random properties are bound to armor or weapon only
#
#==============================================================================
# â–  Description
#   A Script that adds a new EquipItem to the Inventory of the player and return
#   the ID of the Item.

#
#==============================================================================
# â–  Instructions
#   â— Plug the script in
#	 Put this script to the Materials-Section.
#   â— Configurations
#	 You can configure some stuff if you scroll down to the Options (Or search
#	 for OPTIONS)
#	 â— MAX_SPECIAL_VALUE
#	   Max default quality of item
#	 â— PRICING_SPECIAL_MOD
#	   Influences the price by quality and this modifier
#	   Note: Somehow I feel like it doesn't work like I wanted...
#	 â— PRICING_VARIATION
#	   +/- this vlaue to end price
#	 â— WEAPON_FEAT_INFO/ARMOR_FEAT_INFO
#	   This is the part you want to edit. I tried to make a step-by-step
#	   instruction there. If you got any questions, please ask so I may
#	   explain it a better way.
#	 â— DON'T TOUCH-Section
#	   There's a part in the options you should not touch or you'll mess up
#	   the script. The values of the entries should count from 0 to 7 in case
#	   you did touch this part...
#   â— Call Generation
#	 Use dmo_gen_weapon or dmo_gen_armor in any script or script call. It will
#	 add the item and return his ID.
#	 There are some parameters you could call with
#	 â— template
#	   ID of the template item
#	 â— special_value
#	   A number to determine the quality. If set to 0 it will be random
#	 â— random_value
#	   If set true the item will be random quality regardless of special_value.
#	   Instead special_value will serve as min quality
#	 â— max_special_value
#	   Set the max quality of item if quality is random
#
#==============================================================================
# â–  IMPORTANT
#   The random property picker is not polished yet and so I recommend to follow
#   these guidelines about the properties.
#   â— NEVER try to generate an item with a quality over the total quality sum
#	 of possible properties. The Script will hang up.
#   â— Make sure to have several properties with a quality of 1. They can always
#	 be added to the item unless they already are.
#   â— Also for better performance I recommend to keep the property qualities
#	 in relation. The script will have a pretty hard time if you only had one
#	 quality 1 property but a dozen of quality 4 properties...it even may won't
#	 run and hang up.
#     
#==============================================================================
# â–  FAQ
#   â— The game hangs up or has a immense lag upon generation of an item
#	 Please read the instructions careful. Especially the part called
#	 IMPORTANT
#   â— After loading my save I lost my items, they lost their attributes, the
#	 amount of them is out of control,they changed, etc...
#	 If you save your project you'll overwrite the data storing your random
#	 equip. I'm already thinking about a solution to this, but maybe it'll
#	 help you to know it's a 'bug' which only occurs during development.

This is what this thread is for At the moment this script is exclusive shared at rpgmakervxace.net and that's my full intention until I set up a script section on my own homepage. So, if you see it somewhereelse please inform me. Thanks in advance for this.

 

Future Intentions to this Script

The scripts runs fine at the time and I'm happy about that. If you find any bugs or encounter any problems, I'd be happy for your hint. Also I plan to implement a acceptable solution for the save problem of the database.

Edited January 16, 2012 by DasMoony

[Jacob 3]

how do you generate the prefixed items? I looked at the instructions and i'm still confused.

[Knightmare 170]

This is pretty kickin' Although I don't think I'll end up using it its still a nice option for people to have. Nice work.

[DasMoony 11]

@Jacob:

 

the properties also define the pre or suffix at this part (you can find it in OPTIONS)

WEAPON_FEAT_INFO	  = [
			  [2,[[ATTACK,[5,10]]],PREFIX,"Sharpened",15,[],[]], #random attack(0-10)
			  [1,[[ATTACK,[0,5]]],PREFIX,"",15,[],[]], #random attack(0-5)
			  [1,[[ATTACK,[0,5]]],PREFIX,"",15,[],[]], #random attack(0-5)

			  [2,[[ATTACK,[25]]],PREFIX,"Very Sharp",30,[],[]],  #attack +15
			  [1,[[LUCK,[5]]], SUFFIX,"of Luck",10,[],[]],  #Luck +5
			  [3,[[AGILITY,[5]],[ATTACK,[10]]], SUFFIX,"of a thief",10,[],["<NOTETAG>","<NOTETAG>"]]
					  ]

With this part are the prefixes 'Sharpened' and 'Very Sharp' possible, as the suffixes 'Luck' and 'of a thief'. Most confusing part is about the tons of '[' and ']', I guess. Generation of a weapon itself can be done via dmo_gen_weapon(template_id,quality) in any script or script call. Just make sure not to make a quality higher then 6 at weapons or 4 at armors if you haven't expanded the propertiy list yet.

 

But let's add another possible prefix for example:I want be able to create a 'Defenders Sword' based on the template of a sword(weapon id 1). Let's say the defenders-prefix should give +10 defense, have a quality weight of 2 and increases the base price about 20gold then you have to add this:

[2,[[DEFENSE,[10]]],PREFIX,"Defenders",20,[],[]]

The entries are seperated by a ',' so add a ',' at the end of the last entry:

[3,[[AGILITY,[5]],[ATTACK,[10]]], SUFFIX,"of a thief",10,[],["<NOTETAG>","<NOTETAG>"]],

Now in the Event where you want to add the item make a script call dmo_gen_weapon(1,quality) where quality should be at least 2 to have a chance for the defender's sword.

 

Hope this could help

[Tobyej 4]

Well it's confusing the hell out of me, but (it seems) this is what I was after! If I keep getting my problems solved, my game will never get done.

[DasMoony 11]

It starts to get confusing as soon as you mess with traits...still have to do the reference for this. I guess I start tomorrow with it. Also I start then a better and much more readable manual for this script, so stay tuned

[Sapharan 0]

You're my god dude, i was thinking that creating that kind of script would take time, and now, suddenly there it is. Wow.

[DasMoony 11]

So, I made a manual for this script with the reference for the trait-objects.

You can find the link in the first post I hope it will let you understand the script a bit better, so you can do much better random weapons then you may think.

 

@Sapharan:

I thought it would make some people happy

[SirCumferance 28]

I am having problems, the Game_Interpreter is giving me an error. Could someone post (or send) me a demo, so that I can see it in use, pretty please?

[SirCumferance 28]

Pretty, pretty please?

[SirCumferance 28]

Nevermind, see what I ended up doing was pull my head out my butt, read FULLY everything that you wrote and then proceeded to do it as INSTRUCTED. Works, got it and I love you all the more for making this.

[Tsukihime 1,489]

My implementation of this idea uses the FP Inventory system which automatically provides individual equips that can generate stats, quality, prefixes and suffixes.

 

That way, I don't need to add stuff to the database.

Edited May 30, 2012 by Tsukihime

[SirCumferance 28]

Hey, anything that can help make the game more interesting. Playing the game for hours then finding something new makes you wonder, what else is there that I have missed? A little overlap is ok, I would think, just not straight biting someone elses work, which I do not think you would do.

[Naridar 9]

Whoa, basically the loot system of Diablo/Torchlight? Awesome! Would it be possible to add a "description" of sort to traits (just a string with a parameter in the trait configurations), that displays when viewing the equipment in the equip menu (such as "+X to Maximum MP")? Also, is limiting the number of name extensions possible? (To avoid "Sharp Spiky Heavy Fiery Sparkling Golden Broadsword of the thief of the supreme sage")

[SirCumferance 28]

I have only been able to get a single Prefix and Single Suffix, so I think it is built in. I was curious on how to make it show information as well

[bil 0]

Love this script. Totally works, and I have managed to work in some new properties. I have not managed to get traits to function, however.

[1,[[ATTACK,[0,5]]],PREFIX,"Flaming",15,[41,51,0],[]],

doesnt give the skill, i also tried, 32,22,1 with no effect. am I missing something simple? Could someone post a functioning trait property?

Thanks!

[onikuma 1]

Hello, the link to the manual is broken. Anyway to bring it back online?
