I have questions.

[Doj]

Whenever I put in a change name for the player to use, the NPCs all say the character name I put in when I created him, I want it to say the name the player change it to!! Help!!!

Re: Name problem??

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to do that. If there is nobody's found it. The name entry only changes the character's name in the menus and battles. A big mistake by the designers I think.

Re: Name problem??

Oh, okay, thanks a lot... Really..

Re: Name problem??

The only way to get something like that to work as far as I know is to not include the name of your main character in the dialogues at all. It makes things a bit impersonal though, of course.

Title screen??

Hi, I need help with making a cool title screen for my games, can anyone help?? Also, can you put difficultly mode on your mode?? Thanks!!

[Pagerron]

Re: Title screen??

Welcome to the Pav, Doj.

Well, what are your ideas so far regarding the title screen you'd like to make?

What do you mean about putting difficulty mode on your mode? Do you mean making your game have three levels of difficulty like easy, normal, and hard?

[Doj]

Re: Title screen??

Well, first, for my title screen I'd like to have a dragon on it, like curled around something.. For second: Yeah, like easy, medium, and hard, and legendary!!

Re: Title screen??

About the Title Screen:
Well, in the storyteller, under the BG option,
-make the background type "monster"
-under "graphic" select
salamader
skull dragon
green dragon
dark dragon
white dragon
king dragon
(those might do nicely. None of them is wrapped around anything, but they are good-looking dragons)

About the difficulty levels:
Yes, you can do that by having a choice branch at the beginning of your game. You will have to use lots of variable branches throughout the game at appropriate spots (such as event battles) to make sure that the game recognizes the different level that has been chosen. If this is your first game, it would probably be much easier to just make it one level of difficulty. Besides, having to have those variable branches everywhere would limit the memory left to be used for other things.

Re: Title screen??

Oh, okay, thanks!!!

Re: Title screen??

1: Nope. You're limited by the storyteller backgrounds. Look through those for whatever works best.
2. Well, if you want that to be battle difficulty, then having four difficulty modes is doable. However, becuase you'll be doing that with val control branches (lots of em) changing the monster parties, that gives you only 25 to work with. I'd consider only two difficulty modes myself.

Re: Title screen??

Other dragon images can be found under
Background type
Event
Graphic
Battle 1, Battle 2, Battle 3, and Battle 4

Well, Hito, as they say, great minds think alike.

Re: Name problem??

Yeah, or have a psuedonym for your character. I.e, they can be named, but they are called "Giantkiller" or something. So while it shows the name you created in normal messages, everyone refers to you as "Giantkiller" or "The Blaze" or whatever.

Autorun loop, HELP!!!

Hi, guys, I just wanted to ask if you could help me!! You see, I am trying to make a quest, so here's what happens:

1:Start at home
2:Go outside
3:Message (Autorun is caught in a loop, please switch mode, etc.)
4:I switched it, but I still get caught in that same loop!!


HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pagerron]

Re: Autorun loop, HELP!!!

In your town you have an auto event that either needs to turn itself off or switch itself to a different mode.

Do you know which auto event is causing the problem?

[Doj]

Re: Autorun loop, HELP!!!

switch into another mode...
