RPGM3 Command List & Descriptions

[JPS]

This isn't finished, I still have property control, party control, and effects left to do...this took me the better half of 2 1/2 hours but Ill get it done

The descriptions are taken straight from the game, except those that has been tested and proven for clarification, so there are errors in them.

The 4 digit number on the left is for referencing in other posts and a table of contents/index that will come when the resource is complete.

Kinda sucks people will steal this and credit themselves for it on other websites...but...meh

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Do you ever sleep?

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Yep, I got 5 hours last night

[Seraph]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Ha, me too!
I slept on the couch....

On topic though, this is very helpful. Once again you have exposed your brilliance.
I'd rep ya, but I can't.

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

I never sleep on the couch, if Jackie is mad at me I tell her I pay the bills, she sleeps on the couch.

She usually gets ad and turns her back to me when I get in bed

EDIT:Not really brilliance, just bored, but I am flattered

Plus too many questions are asked like "Is there a command that....", this will hopefully solve that problem.

[Seraph]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

I choose to sleep there. But to get back on topic, I edited my last post.

This is good stuff.

[Pagerron]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Nice nice job JPS!

Who needs Prima to make a guide for RPG Maker 3 when we have JPS?

0173:----Off:There is no animation while waiting.
I think this one should read there is no wait time while animation is playing

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Thanks Page, Prima wont do it so Im taking it upon myself to do it...hopefully all these tutorials and resources and such will bring at least some popularity back to RM3

**The line you've pinpointed is correct, in that event if it is ON it shows an animated "loading" icon in the corner while WAIT is being executed, if it is Off you still have to wait but there is no icon displayed in the corner, this is used if you want the game to act like its "loading" a scene or something(I'm assuming).

EDIT:**This point is FALSE, Page verified and changes has been made.

[Pagerron]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Oh, yeah. Sorry. I was confused with line 033. Thanks bro.

As far as keeping RPG Maker 3 popular. The more new posts about it the better. I really love it.

Limitations in RPG Maker 3? yes, okay.
Pure fun in RPG Maker 3? YES! YES!

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Actually Im quite amazed at how much I learned just copying all this stuff down, I saw commands that Ive noticed but wasnt quite sure what they did, now I know

and yes, I agree that RM3 has limitations, but the fun you can get out of it is far more worth it when you learn to work with the limitations and still make a great game.

[Dusk Raven]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

JPS is at it again. What are you gonna do next, make a list of... wait, what HAVEN'T you made yet?

EDIT: Hey, in 0074, aren't there 16 variables rather than 60?

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Yeah, Im at it again

Theres still a lot I can do, just need the time to do it all, this is going to take at least another 3 hours to do, so I need to find time to finish this first...

Surprised to see you guys reading through it trying to find mistakes!

Youre right DR, it suppose to be

0072:------List of Variables(16 if Internal, 60 if Shared)

Ive made the changes and added your name to the credits, Thanks

[Dusk Raven]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

I'm not trying to find mistakes, I just happen to remember non-shared variables being 16 in number .

Not to lump work on you, but you could provide descriptions for the battle arenas that are used in event battles... or I could write them myself . Music might be a bit much, but I might do that anyway.

[JPS]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Already done

0184-0270

EDIT BECAUSE OF EDIT:If you want additional descriptions yeah you can write them if youd like, youll get additional credit

[Dusk Raven]

Re: RPGM3 Command List &amp; Descriptions

Yeah, I think I'll do that sometime. I want to put a picture in the reader's mind what the field looks like.
