Linking Scenarios...

[Nova]

Now, I know it's possible to link scenario data so that you always retain the same character, item, monster data etc.

But, is it possible to link multiple scenario/system data's together. For example, Chapter One of the game would be Sys/Sce1. For Chapter Two, it would switch to not only a different Scenario setting, but a new System setting as well.

Is this possible at all? I'm wondering for a massive project I'm planning on doing once I finish up Terra Incognita.

Re: Linking Scenarios...

as long as the system data is the same name as the first you can swap them. you should read this, its my testing of what you need to have made on that first system card or it will not change over if you release some of your game without it.

scenarios are easy, just put the change scenerio event in and point it to the next one. make sure you put saves before the swap and then after as well to be safe.

Yeah, switcihng scenarios isn't too hard, but switching system data's a bit trickier. You need to make sure both files are the same, and that any system data shared by the seperate system files have the exact same numbers. I haven't tried it yet, but it doesn't sound too difficult, it's more like paying very close attention to the details so you don't mess things up.

It's helpful to keep notes about what you're planning. Have a notebook or computer file around that keeps track of all of your system data and switches in an organized fashion since it will make planning a lot smoother.

Re: Linking Scenarios...

Yeah, I knew about the switch scenario data event. (One reason I love RPGM1 because it puts no limitation on game length.) I was just wondering about switching system data because it's where maps are held.

And the game I'm going to be working on soonish makes use of very large dungeons areas and the space will be simply too much for the meager amount of memory I think.

Though, I've no clue yet as to how things will go.
