This was done as a script request over at the RPGRevolution community forums. I took the special monster death sequences out of Enu’s japanese RPG Tankentai Battle System (TBS).

Enu’s tankentai battlesystem flashes the screen a couple times when the selected epic or boss monsters die, then they fade down in a moving cloud. These epic monster deaths should work fine with any other sort of custom Rpg Maker VX battle system, or even the default. Click more to see the script from the RMVX Takentai BS: (more…)

We’re still hard at work with other things, but in the meantime, here’s a small treat for Rpg Maker users. The gamebaker team (which I was a member of) re-uploaded one of the older backups of the GameBaker site’s script files. If you happen to use RMVX, or even RMXP (link), there’s bound to be something useful there. Many of them don’t have instructions yet unfortunately.

Here’s some we put into almost every project we made & would happily recommend to everyone. The uploaded versions may have a couple bug fixes or improvements omitted that were later posted:

• Anti-Event Lag
  Gives the largest boost to FPS out of all the anti-lag systems we tested, and is also used in 3 commercial games in-progress. There are minor issues with this one.
• Automated Data Backups
  This is a counter to the “Unexpected file format” error. A copy of your /data directory will be made every time you playtest the game.
• RMVX Playtesting Tools
  Options you can activate while playtesting your game. Map transfers, FPS boosts, auto-start, debug maps, etc.

We’re releasing another script for use in RMVX. It’s a window that appears when you find treasure that displays the name & item icon. People we’ve shown it to said it reminded them of Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, which wasn’t intentional at all. (more…)

We released a new script over at the gamebaker site, called “Super Simple Tileset Swapping”. It’s pretty much the opposite of that giant japanese monstrosity KGC Software released. :)

No passability changes. If you have any questions or problems with the script please respond over there on the forums. You can find almost a hundred of them we’ve made so far browsing the site.

Feeling that itch to add a new script to your project? You’re in luck!

Today’s material highlight is the huge pile of utility code made by a japanese scripter (s?), KGC Software. You may already be familiar with them from translation efforts in most communities. (more…)
