AddOn RPG Items

[Edrondol]

So I can add items to the system....but I have no idea how the players and their monsters can actually GET the items to use.

 

[Fillip H.]

Manage Areas -> Edit Monster List -> Edit Loot Table

It had to be done like that because it should be possible to set each individual enemy in each individual area to have a different loot table

 

[Edrondol]

Okay. I still don't see that, but then again I still have all of my monsters and information in there from before.

Is there a step I am missing on import?

 

[Edrondol]

Never mind. When in doubt, CLEAR THE DAMNED CACHE!!!

 

[Edrondol]

More potions questions. The Health/Stam/Focus potions. Are these heals or do they affect the MAX stat? FOr example, my monster is sitting at 20/50 health and he takes a Heal Potion (+10 HP). But since I can only set them up as buffs, does this mean that he's now at 30/50 or 20/60?

 

[Fillip H.]

20/50 would be 40% health, so the new health of the monster is I believe 24/60.

In other words, it increases or decreases the MAX stat while preserving the percentage remaining.
In a future version, we intend to vastly expand the uses for items including healing items as well.

Currently, however, I was asked to code items that were able to influence the Capture Chance as well as stats, which meant they had to be buffs.

 

[Edrondol]

Okay. I just made a test area on my site where th edrop rate for these things = 100%. My monster is right now at 59/65. When I try and use a heal potion (+10) I get an "Error:" (that's all it says) and I have to exit the battle & come back. Stat buffs seem to work but the Heal potions so far have not. I'm still testing.

 

[Fillip H.]

Stat buffs work but healing potions don't? I are confues.
Potions atm only work as stat buffs.

 

[Edrondol]

STR, INT & the like work (or at least didn't give errors). When I try and use a Heal (HP only tested so far, will be doing Stam & Focus) I get that error popup.

ANd right now I can't get through my test fight as the enemy is at 1 HP and I can't build up stam. It is doing something, but it keeps draining stam when I defend. -heh-

Doing nothing but defending my Stam has done the following:

2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 9 -> 2 -> 9 -> 2 -> 3 -> ...

You get the picture.

New thing. (I know you love me!)

I have the monster down to 1 HP. I try and scratch him and the screen freezes. If I hit "End Turn" without doing anything else (all other options are grayed out) it will resolve the attack, even though the monster will still be at 1 HP. The same happened when the monster was at 9 HP and I did 9 damage.

It also throws me this SQL error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.6:

I'll test a potion that only modifies HP and see what happens.

Can you take me through exactly what you did from battle start to battle "end" that caused the SQL error?

 

[Edrondol]

Yup.I defended. What triggers it is a monster that gives an item when you kill it. It didn't happen the first time I killed this guy, but each time I've tried to use a healing potion it bugs the end.

After I get done with this battle I'll try one where I use NO items and see if it works.

 

[Fillip H.]

So just defending and then attempting to end the battle by using a move caused the SQL error?

 

[Fillip H.]

I've been unable to reproduce this using just a potion that modifies HP.

Can you please screenshot the configuration of that particular item, and also tell me EXACTLY what you did in order to produce it, from battle start?

 

[Fillip H.]

I've hotfixed the Stamina issue for Pro customers, waiting to push a Lite hotfix until we've nailed down this Item thing

 

[Stephen De Chellis]

The add-on map areas note towns where players can meet NPCs and buy things from shops. when can we expect an update to allow items to be purchased in shops?

 

[Cosmic]

NPCs and Shops will be in the next update. There is no fixed release date for that at the moment, but it is likely to be in the next 3-9 weeks
