Radiance

Sounds good. I had something like this in "Insert random game title here", and, even though it's DBS, I had fun playing with it. Hence meaning, it makes for a good DBS.

Might want to get ResHack, for better icons. There's a tutorial on how to use it in the Complete Resources; if you look up,"template." Having a six-pointed star for items doesn't really make sense.

hey man glad to see your still workin on the game.... and btw where did you get that tree monster? it looks great!

[I Have a Sandwich]

For a second I was wondering "What the hel hapened to Radian?" XD Awesome its back.

[drenrin2120]

Awesome, just awesome. I always liked your game, don't give up or I'll eat your liver with a side of fava beans. not really.

Radience, radience, radience!
I missed this game.

Linkforce: Thanks dood. I'm good for resources at the moment, but if there's anything, I'll ask. Ta for the support.

Meiscool: I use the DBS because I personally can't see anything wrong with it. But I do prefer to customise it with all my little systems.

EXO: Thanks, I'll get to work on some new symbols. What could I have as an icon for Items?

JP: The monster is one from RPG Maker Advance. I use these monsters since they match the style of graphics I'm using.

Sandwich: Yeah, we're back on track!

Dren: Thanks, but I don't like fava beans.

Dinkler: It's with an "a", man.

Oh, and Arlan's graphics are done. Before I get beset by fanboys, he is not in any way based upon Sephiroth. The likeness is coincidental, and in fact I only noticed there was one at all when I was uploading the images. So there.

Very niceee i 4got all about that gameee... dont mind me if i use some of them too... ill change the colors so there not identical

[Dragonium]

JP: Yeah, that's cool.

Now, I thought I'd post some shots and ideas of my little "CSS" (Custom Shop System). It's a very simple idea which anyone can use, but I just figured it'd be more fun this way. Basically, the Weapon Upgrade System (Not the Customization System I described earlier, that's different) was arguing with the Elemental Fusion System. Say you took a Great Axe and imbued it with a Fire element. When you went to upgrade it to the next stage of "Fire Axe", you couldn't. The two possibilities (Level 2 Fire and Level 2 Non-Elemental) clashed with each other and made it impossible to do anything. In the end I had to take out both of them.

But Customization still lives, through a hefty number of switches and variables, and the news is that for the first time you can buy weapons. Like, properly.



By this reasoning you can buy things using the "traditional" method. The coding is very simple. No lag, like when using the DSS (Default Shop System) with a large number of items.

Specialist Armour

Most armour is usable by all classes, but there's also Specialist Armour (Like the Fur Waistcoat seen above). Specialist armour is only usable by certain Classes. However, it offers better protection than regular amour, and can often enhance the user's skills.

Since there isn't much call for Specialist Armour, only one item is usually in stock. It pretty much always sells out when you buy it. As such, if you have two or more characters of the same Class, you'll have to decide who needs it most.

Equipment Sets

While mixing-and-matching your armour is the usual trend, wearing a full set of armour, made from the same material, can actually be very beneficial. When you do this, a character can actually earn new skills and bonuses depending on the material which the equipment is made from.

Sometimes a full set of armour is not available in the shop. If you wear as much armour as you can buy in-store, you'll get a small benefit, but if you decide to go a little out of your way to find the missing equipment, the benefits can be so much greater.

Free Advice: Tin is quite resistant to damage, considering that it is lighter than other metals. If a character wears armour made completely of Tin, he/she can learn Feather Guard, a status enhancing skill which raises both Speed and Defence by a small amount.

Anyway, that's that. I'll add more screenshots and explanations to request if anyone wants anything cleared up.

You'd better go to Lune's site.

You'll run out of icons if you only use FFTactics. I suggest using FFTactics Advance and Ogre Battle the most.

Very nice, oh and your font looks messed up. You should either find the two rare "msmincho" "ms*whatever" fonts, or you should get a new RPG_RT file.

This looks very nice.

[Dragonium]

Thanks! I'm using a wide variety of equipment icons; they're mostly FFT and FFTA, but the fact is someone sent me a load of charsets of armour and weapons so I have everything I need.

About the font: I had to reinstall XP when I fixed the computer, and I'm having difficulty in finding the font fix or whatever. Do you have any idea where I can get a new RPG_RT? It's not like you can just download one.

And thanks for the support.

You steal someone elses, then remake it by putting in your own font, your own startup pictures, and your own icons.

I stole Meis's then switched everything he had with my custom stuff. This was the only way I could get my font fixed.

My game is Metal Tears. On Page 3, download and play my battle demo, then take the RPG_RT and paste it into your game. Make sure to copy your game before you do this so that nothing gets lost. Also, mind you, that I have some different icons. This means that if you do go through with taking my RPG_RT, the icons I have will also replace the RTP icons.

These are the icons I have:

You stole that from DH:SoP; didn't you?!

Don't worry, I used some of them, myself.

Hey dood, if yeh ever need any help, just ring-a-ling. You are among the inner circle of people I'm willing to do stuff for.
