Go ahead, you can draw graphics. It is EXTREMELY unlikely that it would have anything to do with number of graphics, and if it is we should be able to fix it anyway.

Ok! No problem. I'll do as you say then. Feel free to not post messages if you don't have time. Just let me know that you have solved the bug or if you need something to help you (like the password or an unbugged and unhopefully rather old now version of my script)

Good luck and thanks once more in searching for the bug. Let's hope it will prevent others players to get the same.

Hey bis senchi, here is a temporary workaround this bug, do not pass the variables to alternpc commands from npcreference command.

Here is a what your script was doing

[Mike Caron]

Yes it does.

Since YSoft wasn't very clear, here's an explanation:

Every npc has a unique number (a reference), assigned based on what order the NPCs were created. NPCs placed in the editor start at -1, and count down (-2, -3, etc). NPCs created at runtime via create NPC() start at -300, and count up (-299, -298, etc).

On the other hand, NPCs also have IDs, which are merely what type of NPC they are. Since the NPC settings are per type, not per instance, alter NPC expects an ID, not a reference. Normally, it would convert a reference into an ID, and work with that.

Alas, that was not to be from Quaternion on. Due to some changes made (by a developer who's name shall remain anonymous, right TMC?), alternpc wasn't handling the npc references properly. It was trying to alter NPC data that didn't exist. As such, it was exploding violently.

Either way, it's fixed now. Still, you shouldn't pass references to alter NPC, since it's pointless.

Thanks for the information! I've enlightened the script canceling the variable and replace all the visitor2 by npc16 which is more convinient.

By that still does not prevent the game from keeping on making an error code 9.
Anyways thanks once more for taking time to read so many time the same texts and seeing the same pictures!

Feel free to put further information about the bugs here!

[bis_senchi]

I obviously wanted to say

"thanks once more for taking time to read so many time the same texts and to see hundreds of times the same pictures! "

By the way I've found this on bugzilla and It does not seem usual plotscripting at all!

[PlayerOne]

It isn't plotscripting, it's BASIC. That's the patch to fix game.exe.

[Mike Caron]

Not even that, it's a DIFF of the source code, which is what those @lines are for.

You still get an error? I can play the RPG file you sent me now. If you're not already using a WIP build of the OHR, try the new version Serendipity when it is released in a few days time, which will fix the bug.
(Also, remember to fix the bug in the script which I pointed out earlier)


Also, here are instructions to delete all the extra files in your RPG to make it half the size:
-first, backup your game! Or you'll be in trouble if something goes wrong.
-open your game in CUSTOM
-hit the windows key or ctrl+esc to minimise CUSTOM
-using explorer, goto the folder you have CUSTOM.EXE in and go into the WORKING.TMP folder
-sort the files by name
-select all the files starting with COPIED~1.___ and delete them.
-go back into custom, and save and exit

That should take 9 MB off the file size.

I've got a problem my game still doesn't work. The Mad Cacti coud you please send it to me by mail?

Thanks in advance!

[bis_senchi]

Ok! I'm glad to tell you that the game works! but I unfortunatelly have another question which had nothing to do with bug...

I would like to know if it is possible to put in plotscript language the following thing if a save file already exist/ the save load command have been already used, then, begin...

Thanks once more for help!
Thanks to you my game will certainly be a very good one!

[TMC]

What do you want me to send to you by email?

Simple, use save slot used (slot).

You can use it like this for example:

[bis_senchi]

I managed myself to unbug the game so you can delete the file you have worked on. Thanks for answering!

Thanks also for posting the save solt used. It's what I needed! Anyway sorry again but I have other questions. Here's my problem. I am actually working on a YUGIOH! trading card game for the ohr.

I am searching a system for the card
The duel arena would be an map and I've transformed my hero in cursor
I see what to use for the cards Npc would fit most. (Anyway it appears that pictuer and palette and perfectly ok to represents the cards)

The display stat system and keyboard customisation would make the player the player to see his (or her) life points the numbers of turns
and why not what his or graveyard contains.

but I would like to be sure of the following point so that the game can be really perfect

I need to make a trunk card system a point on which you store cards if you prefer. It would have the following caracteristics

1- about 1000 npcs. It can be on a shop, on map, or on something that would have been implemented but there shall have no restriction on that point because there are about 1000 duel monster aviable

2- the player can see the name of the npcs "ex blue eyes white dragon" (their picture would be a palette and picture set)

3- the player can see details such as a litte text that expalin how to use the card or how to make it active

4- if the player didn't buy the card (or if the card wasn't given to him) there the place where the card should be is grey

5- the player can have up to 5 exemplaries of the same card on the trunk menu

6- the player doesn't necessarily access to the trunk with custom menu but it would really be a must have.

7- the cards can be sold

----------------------------------

I also need to make a special shop that would be owned by the hero's great father

1- I can sell let's say 45 cards (so on that point there shall be less problems I think)

2- The cards would have a price and can be sold and bought

3- using codes you can replace one card by another one (it's the vending system on which on you can enter a code and get the card you want) It helps duellists to get the cards they want.

Here are the main points. If some of them are unpossible because of engine limitation please tell me so that I can try another engine.

Feel also free to tell if some points are hard to implement because of Qbasic language.
Anyway thanks on more to everybody for help and support and good luck to all in making you game!

[bis_senchi]

As I'm very good to make myself missunderstood I correct some of the info I've previously posted.

when I say that the Npc would fit most for making the card it's because of the picture and palette set. I don't mind using ennemies or heroes.

What will be rather difficult according to me are the card effects such as polymerisation, or monster special effect. But monster reborn won't be easy to make either

Ok thanks for reading all this and good luck!
