Wow, that's awesome! That would definitely be easier to use, thank you very much!

Thank you, I'll try it out!

Hello!

How would I go about making weapons that are only usable by certain characters and nobody else?

Thanks!

Hello!

Is it possible to make a bow that shoots arrows infinitely?
The arrows should 'despawn' after hitting an enemy or a wall (sort of similar to a fireball).

Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying, Sophia!

Great work, thank you very much, Sophia!
Can't wait to try everything out!

I came up with a new approach and it worked well. In DSB 0.73, you'll be able to set the one_click_method arch property to true on a weapon, and it will automatically invoke the first attack method if you click the weapon. Wow, awesome! Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to it! :mrgreen: Ok, ...

Right. After thinking about it, it might be sort of doable with a hack to sys_render_attack_method where you immediately 'click' (i.e., send a SYSTEM message) as soon as the menu comes up, but that's really an ugly hack, to be honest. If I'm honest, I'd still like to try it. I like the immidiate re...

Thanks for your answers, Sophia! Now I have a better overview over what's doable and what I better leave like it is for now ;) I'm looking forward to the new changes in 0.73, thanks for adding them! :arrow: 1) When you say modifications to the core engine, you mean that it won't be possible by chang...

Hello! The last area I'd like to play around with before my mini-release is the battle system. I'd like to ask if these changes to the battle system are possible and what the best way to approach them would be. A few of them I've seen discussed in the forum already, but maybe some new developments h...

Sounds cool! Glad we were able to sort this out

Thanks!

Thanks for the insight, Gambit! Also, I have to apologize to you, Sophia, for my second post, as I realize it might come over as unthankful (which I'm not, I'm really thankful for all of your help). I'd love to have help with the objlook, it's just not really a priority right now (and like I said, t...

I probably complicated the matter unnecessarily by showing a objlook that seemed like the final layout, but actually wasn't. Here are examples of other designs I'm thinking about, which might even vary between different item categories (weapons having a different design than consumables etc.): https...

I appreciate it very much, and at the same time I feel like you won't like what I'm about to tell :mrgreen: To be honest, I haven't finalized the design for the objlook yet, so having the ability to just put graphics in there is awesome for testing purposes. As for the bigger picture, speaking from ...

Hello!
Showing the custom objlook works brilliantly, however the data from the normal objlook is still rendered on top:



How could I get rid of this?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you for the update, Sophia!

How would the custom_objlook subrenderer work in practice?
Something like ?

Thank you very much! Over-explaining is the exact best thing for me, the different steps made it very clear what I have to do.
Sorry again for asking the beginner questions.

Again, thanks a lot for you help! I'll try it out and see what I can do.
Have a fine day!

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand how to set this up. Could you explain it a bit more detailed, if that's possible? (Where and how do I set up the dungeon object etc.)

Also, how would I setup a global variable?

Thanks and sorry for the beginner questions

Hello, and a happy 2019!

What would be the best way to set up a variable that can be saved for future use, like the number of times the player talked to a specific person etc.?
Is this what gameflags are used for?

Thanks!

Thank you, guys! The choices work so far
I mostly used your method, Gambit.

I'll take a look into making tables as well!

Thanks, Gambit, I'll check it out!

Thank you! I'll try my luck

If I understand it correctly, I'd activate the monster generator out of the function with the fullscreen, right?
So I'd use the numbers in brackets [XY] ESB provides?

Hello! An important part of my game will be the 'fullscreen' story sections, see the example below. I have a few questions regarding those. https://i.imgur.com/Fj9ThHL.png :?: Is it possible to display png transparency in the fullscreen picture with the game screen still being rendered, like in the ...

What would be the name of the graphic right next to the same_square image?

--- EDIT: Found it, I think it's near_side

Oh, that's much better
Thank you!

Hello! So this might be a strange one: Is it possible to make objects from the THINGS category that can't be picked up? The reason is that, with the ability to place 'things' in all four corners of a tile, it's an easy way to make decorative stuff like pillars (that can be seen even if the party is ...

Haha, that's true!
Sub-tiles would only complicate the matter even further, I suppose

Attacking from the back row was what I was after, and I'm very happy that this has been thought of already!
Thanks!

Ooh, nice! Everything should be so easy :D The better word I should've used is probably tiles (front row heroes attack two tiles in front of them, meaning they can reach monsters further away with the weapons that have a further range), but having a weapon that can attack from the back is far more i...

Hello!

Would it be possible to make melee weapons with a larger range (that would enable second-row characters to attack as well, or first-row characters to attack two fields in front of them)?

Thanks!
