Castle Paradox

[Spoon Weaver]

I'd love to be able to let my little rpg characters to use ff1 style spells but I don't really like the amount gained where it's gain at which level. So instead of browsing the source code for hours upon hours I figured I'd ask to see if I could get a clue as to where to find said code, or maybe if I was lucky, someone would do ( or has already done ) the work for me.

thank you for your time.

Just an option:

You could make spells items, and then make a script to give you the correct amount if you stay in an inn.

You can actually control the amount of level MP using plotscripting, so there probably is no reason to dig into the source for what you are trying to do. The commands "get level mp" and "set level mp" will control this. I was going to write an example code, but I'm not quite sure exactly what you want to do with it yet.

What are the maximum values for those by the way? 9? 99? 255?

There is no maximum amount settable with scripting for any stats.

The level mp amounts are recalculated (overwriting scripted changes) in two cases:
-a hero levels up and 'Don't Restore MP on Levelup' isn't set
-you go to an inn

So you'll want an after-battle script which is set on every map and checks 'hero levelled', and a script for every inn.

The particular function is resetlmp in moresubs.bas

Oh! so I only have to write a script that checks character level in INNs and sets the leveled MP. What a perfect idea. Plus since I already planned to have the reseting of MP off on level up, I don't have to write the other one.
Yay, ty.

Also, just for future refrence, are there any hidden stats thats would be too difficult to change with plotscripting, (example: exp needed for each level)

[TMC]

You can sort of change experience required for levelup with a clever and complicated script, by manipulating the amount of experience a hero has after they level up. This is possible because the player only sees the amount left to gain, not what they actually have.

Here's the script I wrote for Rya, for Gerania:

SWEET thx




hurray magic

[Rya.Reisender]

That's actually the script TMC wrote for me for Gerania, I didn't really want to make it public (mainly because I don't want the players to know how the mechanics work and if there are exploits to it).

It doesn't seem like there's any need to worry about exploits. But, I honestly think instead of posting this, maybe we should all work on implementing a way to change xp per level into O.H.R.rpg.C.E. itself.

..or not. I mean w/e

[TMC]

OK, I added it: 'Scripts:Custom experience to level formula'.

[Rya.Reisender]

*whispers* Um, but there was that bug that the hero's level always doubled after every battle which we could never solve or reproduce.

hmmm, haven't seen such a bug yet but i'll be on the look out.
till then.....

Just wanted to ask about somemore unalterable stats. namely random attack numbers. is there a way to change the amount of randomness?
....besides switching it off.
