I stack CB's all day!

Lol, no seriously. for ABS it's liek one of the main ways to keep everything in order. Especially for an ABS with more than 1 person in your party.

Do you use temporary variables at all? If you have a lot of similar variables that need computing, they can be really helpful. All you do is set up a seperate event, like a common event, then store the information in temp variables, call the event that does all the computing, then apply the values in the temp variables where they're needed. This cuts down on conditional braches and centralizes important code. So if there's a bug, you know exactly where it is, or atleast can find very quickly.

Did that make any sense?

I personally have always thought other types of CBS would be harder to code than an ABS. For ABS, the movement is already done for you. Creating actions is a very simple process. For a CBS, you have to program each individual party member and create some sort of AI, If not for members, then for enemies. Such has making it know who to target (Who CAN be targeted, for that matter) and what skill to use, and other tactics. Creating the menu system seems tough as well.
In an ABS, there is no need to make an AI because the player directly controls the hero and foes only have one hero to target. Of course, this is all just my oppinion. If it's a piece of cake to you, then awesome!

I have somewhat of a different kind of CBS coded for another project of mine... but I gave up on it a long time ago because I just got tired of trying to figure out a code. But I think I might try to get back to it now.

THIS SAVES SOOOOO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT.  =D  I discovered this as well when working on mine.  (That I have made no progress in... oops. haha  College kinda caught me by surprise)

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a jack off know it all. =P I'm just happy with progress. There's still some things I'm uncertain of, since the heroes are in place using charasets, I'm not too sure how I'm gonna code movement to and from monsters. Though, now that I'm thinking about it, I might have enough free pics to just make the characters pictures.

Code is annoying. I have to take breaks in between long spurts of doing this or else I'd break my laptop.

The "Quasigen" sign at the bottom-right is actual a moving marquee-type thing using triple-layered menus!

[drenrin2120]

Is that a flippin MARQUIS?

ZE, they came from Treasure of Rudra.

Yeah, I do know that.

But don't lie, this is where you got them from:

If you remember the desert village that I posted, this is the actual desert "dungeon" if you will, that will accompany it.  This is the entrance to the mountain caves that will eventually lead to a desert.  What do you think so far?  I don't know what else to add to it but to me it seems a bit...bland.  Or is it fine?



Also, can somebody help me with my sig?

I downloaded a game called A Home Far Away and took it from that ^^

Looking awesome!

Thanks Zuhane! 

Alright, here's one more map so show you guys.  I've basically been re-mapping the first chapter in my game since a lot of the maps aren't that good.  What do you guys think of this one?  Better?  Worse?  What can I do to make it better?

I dig it, more house sized houses this time around.
Although I miss the L shaped house.

[zuhane]

I would, Linkforce. As in, I WOULD live there!

EDIT: As in "it's nice!"

It's cool that the people of this town have discovered footpath technology. They've also apparently discovered making bridges to little outcroppings with nothing on them. Yes, it looks much better. Smaller definately helps in this case.
