How to make a Herb gathering event in RPG MAKER XP

[CryKaze]

How do you make it go frame by frame?

[PolarisSeal]

Kinda seems like punishing the player with an amount of time it takes to get an item.

[cicoboy56]

Where put frames!???? Please P.M me Fast

[cicoboy56]

I put all pictures wath buttom is wait 20 frames...? i cant found it and as i want to grab a herb then begin he by the last picture??

[Shrachek]

hmm it didnt give me option to choose which part are transparent or not, I remember doing that with other pictures however sometimes it would bring message up, other times it wouldnt

[Soyawannabeamasta]

This could be good for something!

[ropropper]

whats the name of the song??

[fastenterprises]

How do I get a NPC to take 3 herbs and give them something if they have 3?

[fastenterprises]

How do you "import" pictures?

And how do I get pictures to show up to the right of a text message with the message event?

[shadowsong12345]

how safe is rmxp?

[scorpiongold]

safe?

[shadowsong12345]

like does it have viruses?

[scorpiongold]

depends if you buy it or download it from a weird site. but i didnt become any viruses

[hellx159]

if u buy from official site then its safe, buy or download.

[BoozyBreath]

nice

[meesieyo]

TELL US IF YOU HAVE ANY LUCK =)

[meesieyo]

sorry, i had caps lock on :P

[ClassicGM502]

you know what sucks? i tried this, and it worked fine, i even found a more discripted tutorial...BUT when i finished everything and went to "playtest" while its saying "herb gathering" its all the way in the top right corner of the screen, plus i cant see much of it, and it has a white backround..how do i fix this???

[scorpiongold]

well i havent used rmxp since 1year ago but i think its this u have to do:

1: When you import your pictures of the herbGatherging event you will have to set White as a transparent color

2: When you are putting them on your game you can choose COORDINATES for the pictures, try to find a good coordinate and use that on all pics

[meesieyo]

What coordinates do you use??

[greenman2301]

ya thx so i need to set white as a trasnsparent color right but how??????

[flippydaking]

Some pics already have that, but I think you can erase the white...

[meesieyo]

What's that more descripted tutorial?

[ClassicGM502]

it was on a website, it wasnt a video, but the tutorial showd more on how to do it, but i dont have the game anyore so i never figured out what was wrong

[nathan3aton]

whats the game oif this song?

[scorpiongold]

dont bring me down

[Stickzanimator]

Ha! Pretty good idea! I probobly can find a use for something like this for other things. Thanks!

[nathan3aton]

whats the name of this song?

[antiklaus]

nifty trick. Now you need some tutorials on how to use the herbs for crafting!

Evil grin =)

I actually created a super convoluted crafting system ages ago where you could use skills and items to create weapons and armor... just too lazy and tired to dig up the events and make a viddy.

Ah the demands of work.. sigh.

[scorpiongold]

cool

[nathan3aton]

i still didnt get it to work xD look at my video ull see what its doing.

[nathan3aton]

wow i need some help her wen i do this with paint i get a white box around my pix pust like in pain i was it to be see throw like yours..

[scorpiongold]

when u import it to rpg maker u gotta set white as a transparent color

[Norbertasss]

big deal? You can make the same thing with scripts and it would look even cooler :D

[scorpiongold]

sure but its pretty easy to make this, understanding scripts is too hard for common people

[140208love]

I got an other question, maybe you can answer:

Do you perhaps know how to make a simple race event in rmxp? wich you can lose or win?

thnx!

[sallyprue]

cool.

[eltuzo466]

Good idea ;)

[ZayLong]

it was pretty realistic but its basicly just a loader.

[ultraD3000]

You can use it as a loading... thing thats what I did

[Firefoxred]

That was pretty cool, what song did you use in this video?

[scorpiongold]

Group:Electric light orchesta-ELO

Song: Dont bring me down

[Firefoxred]

That is wierd, I heard that "its a living thing" and this didnt even sound like something they would do, thanks again x]

[pdog78]

u rock!!!!!

[scorpiongold]

Thanks!

[scorpiongold]

Try to get the right coordinates

[vinicile16]

This work for RPG MAKER VX, too!

[madosenshibreaka]

This game sux lol

[scorpiongold]

If you can see the play game button its an arrow. Above to the right! 2 icons to the left there is a map called materials. open it and you see the materialbase. Go to Grapics/Pictures and import!

Or in the menu select TOOLS

[xxmatthewii]

hey if im importing a tileset what format does it have to be like .gif or .bmp or.jpg?

[scorpiongold]

It can be PNG JPG BMP

[xxmatthewii]

thankyou

[scorpiongold]

u use the materialbase to import pics

[HOVNA]

Hey when i select center it is upper left XD !!!! Shit! And why you say middle ?? Isnt there!

[scorpiongold]

no, i am not kidding at all

[darkM93]

i needed this...thanks for the advice :)

[1RedFox2]

This rpg maker seems really complicated but has very few limits.

[aydinapkar16]

can you help me dude i want to host my game but i dont know how.

[SwordSaint892]

If it's done, do the "Compress Game Data" thing (encript it if you don't want other people to mess around with it, but it takes moar space).

Then go to rapidshare or megaupload and put them on there. Tell whoever you want the exact link so that they can download and play it.

I think that's what you meant by "Host" your game. :/

[scorpiongold]

use the materialbase and import the pics to **PICTURE**

[lewisbrowne]

how do you inport pictures

[lewisbrowne]

cool thankyou can you tell me how to do a mining event like that

[scorpiongold]

use the materialbase and import the pics

[scorpiongold]

oops SORRY,

[elfy99803]

error, you didnt say to transparent them, still good i made 1 in other cp but mine is a chance wether you can find any herbs or not.

[scorpiongold]

i did another picture, just like the herb gathering thing, and show picture. bla bla bla... u know

[VirusChris]

I see, so how big was the picture size? When I make mine I don't won't it to be too big.

[VirusChris]

How did you get that picture on the top left corner? Did you do the same thing as the Herb Gathering Event?

BTW Pretty cool tutorial! I think I'll try something like this! ^_^

[scorpiongold]

i am usinng the materialbase. just click import pics

[chuchi1313]

How do you import pictures?

[666TroLLhAmMaRen]

Easy...im gonna try it thx^^

[caritdude]

cool, im gonna try sumthin like that

[BlackDeath122]

Instead of pictures, I used animations. Worked 5 times as good.

[chrisadmin]

cool 5 stars Can you even more

[scorpiongold]

4 hours! Wow thats!!! Gaaaaaaa

[crazychris93]

Awesome! Thats a pretty handy tutorial! I'm gonna use it in my game that I'm making now, I've made about 4 hours of gameplay already. I'm not gonna use a herb gathering I'm using it to mine rocks into items.

[riggaren]

jag tycker det är väldigt coolt
