Title: Request for a patch
Post by: schwagles bagels on June 01, 2005, 12:19:33 AM

Is there a patch to increase the limit of pictures you can use a once? I need it for a CBS.

(If this is considered illegal to post, my bad)

A patch? Isn't 50 enough pictures?

If you're using a seperate picture for each part of health on your health bar, you don't need to do that.  Here's how:

<> Fork Conditions: If VAR[0001]: Hero's Health = 50
<> Erase Picture #1
<> Wait 0.0 <- (this reduces lag)
<> Show Picture #1: Health - 50
<> Wait 0.0
<> End

<> Wait 0.0

<> Fork Conditions: If VAR[0001]: Hero's Health = 49
<> Erase Picture #1
<> Wait 0.0
<> Show Picture #1: Health - 49
<> Wait 0.0
<> End

See, you erase the pervious number of health, replacing it with the current.  This way, you can have the hero's entire health bar using just one picture slot.

I have 5 heroes in battle (at max). I'm not doing that many conditional branches.

Tough.

If you're gonna have an ABS, you're gonna need a lot of coding.  RPG Maker 2003 comes with 40 - 50 pictures (depending on the version), and it will STAY that way.

Unless you hack into the program somehow and change it, or if you find some otrher way to do it (all the other ways lag like hell, trust me, Ive tried), then either you use Conditional Branches, or make a different ABS.

Not an ABS, just a normal CBS.

Er... that's what I meant.
