it is then CUSTOM.


my logic is ineffable.
Your logic is twisted to support arguments.

That is a stupid statment. The defult battle system refers to the battle system that comes with rpg maker. A custom battle system, is a customly made battle system. If you make a change to the dbs, it is still the dbs just with some tweaks. Unless you actually MAKE the system, it is not CUSTOM MADE.

Something that you should learn about logic, logic can be twisted and manipulated to work out how you want it. Everyone (but you) agrees on what a cbs is and a dbs is. You're trying to take one small idea, try to back it up with some logic you made up, then tell all of us that we're wrong.

In case you still don't know the differance...

CBS - custom battle system. A battle system that is made customly from scratch, with the rm2k/3 coding system, to be used in your game.

DBS - defult battle system. The battle system that comes with rm2k/3, along with any tweaks, add-ons, or modifications that have been made to it. The DBS will remain the DBS as long as the base coding remains the same because it is still the same basic system.

to say that its a "stupid" statement, is a bit pretentious.
Its still CUSTOMIZED, despite the fact that its not coded from scratch.

If you take the DBS, and give a player the option to steal from an enemy....or any of that crap, it is then, technically, a CBS.

perhaps CDBS. Customized default battle system.
its either customized or its not.
if you are using a new means to represent damage taken by an enemy, like a graphic, you have then customized the default battle system. You have changed how the information is delivered to the gamer. Hence, the rapport between gamer and game is altered. It is no longer presented in the default context.

granted, if you simply change your battle animations and none of the programming, then its still a DBS, but if you are tweaking how the information is delivered to the gamer, its safe to say that that **** has been customized.

Either way, Ive gotten my two cents in a few times....Im gonna have to agree to disagree with you guys...what this kid is talking about sounds custom to me.

what do I know though? you guys are probably right.

regardless, hes already lost intrest at the prospect of logistical effort.

You little ****, you originally said that it was CUSTOM. You even capitalized CUSTOM. So now you're going on about CUSTOMIZED? Make up your mind. Custom means something completely differnt and of its own. Customized means maybe you make it a bit different but without the original basis from which you made it, it couldnt exists.

I don't think its pretentious either. You're an idiot.

*sigh* Take it to a different thread, guys.

And for the record, Plight is wrong and everyone else is right. Completely changing the mechanics of the DBS doesn't change it from being the DBS. Once you start battling outside of the Enemy Encounter command, then it's a CBS.
