System RPG Framework

[Steel]

You reuploaded v.04 instead of .05 . Even though it says v.05 when you click it you get the download for v.04 . You should really consider splitting up that huge documentation into posts somewhere else or into an attached text document cause thats probably what lead you to that error. Editing huge posts is annoying.

Yea I edit the whole thing in Notepad++ then post it all here. It should be fixed now though, sorry about that screw up.

Edit: In version .05 it doesn't seem the "Totals:" values for the item bonuses are showing up?

Fixed.

Working on a regeneration system. The ItemSystem will be modified to accommodate, allowing items to yield regeneration. This will also be useful for someone who wants a rapid regeneration spell, or a slow heal over time, or even a damage over time.

With that, another feature about this regeneration system is that if you have a Heal over Time (HoT) on you and a Damage over Time (DoT) why should the damage over time spell hit every second and the heal over time spell hit every second? Shouldn't there be a middle ground where they could cancel each other out? Well if you have a HoT for 100/second and a DoT for 75/second, you will still heal for 25/second.

The regeneration libary will have a clearly defined API, it cannot be accessed directly from the regeneration system, it will extend the Unit Library.

Any unit is subject to this system so long as they are in the Unit database.

A working save/load system? FINALLY!!! Thank you very much for having this up! LOL

Version 0.06 Released, this version includes a single system for regeneration. This version and the next one will focus on making this framework even easier to use. I have created a .j file including the APIs of these systems to use with the TESH addon. Check the original post for more details

 

[Steel]

Version 0.07 released. Fixes issues with the 1.24 patch. Full changelog in the original post.

 

[Steel]

Version 0.08 released. Fixes a huge crash with the party system and features the new Hero Selection System. I also updated the initial post here to be more friendly and added in a few screenshots that better show off the systems.

How come when I equip something my hp gets reset to 650ish. I am using ver 8 and verytime you equip something new the HP gets reset, ignoring what you had before. It also ignores the stats as well, so it ends up to be like 65 Str, but 65 x 25 isnt equal to 650.

Thank you for reporting this bug, it is now fixed in version 0.09.

I was testing my map using your system on bnet, and it suddenly crashed aftter having error 17 2 or 3 times. Is this wc3, or something to do with your code?

Edit: your hero selection system is bugged for multiplayer, if anyone else selects a unit, it they are d/ced.

 

[Steel]

When you say error 17, you mean error 117?

I haven't checked things out on b.net, but any more information you could provide would be useful. I'll make sure to try and fix this soon, it's probably a call on a nullified variable or something stupid.

I downloaded your framework and the map but when I tryed to test in war3 TFT from NewGen WE 5d it start the war3 TFT but it remain on the menu and nothing hapend ( I use 1.23 and 1,24 pach but nothing) can u tell me what I'm done wrong coze I work on a RPG project and I realy want to try to use your framework?

With regards.

did you install the .j file?
did you save first?

I had a feeling this could happen with the bit of code I put in. I'm 99.9% sure this is the problem.

//Pan Camera to hero selection area. THIS MIGHT Desync PEOPLE
//Pan Camera to hero selection area. THIS MIGHT Desync PEOPLE
//Pan Camera to hero selection area. THIS MIGHT Desync PEOPLE
set i = 0
loop
exitwhen i > 12
if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(i) then
call PanCameraTo(xselect,yselect)
endif
set i = i + 1

endloop

I'll comment it out and try another method of camera panning.

I instaled the .j file and yes I saved first the map. It's only work if I open the map directly from war3 TFT

 

[Steel]

If it's something to do with the NewGen WE, I'm not sure I can fix the problem. The map works with 1.24

when I tryed to test in war3 TFT from NewGen WE 5d it start the war3 TFT but it remain on the menu and nothing hapend

You can't just open the map and run it. You have to open it, save it, then run the test.

 

[Steel]

Been working on fixing a few bugs here and there. I'm also creating a better test map to really showcase what this can do.

Someone asked me why I use public functions instead of building methods off my structs for the user. Well, I wanted to answer this. Not everyone is familiar with the .create() or .destroy() or .enableSystem() methods that one can create. As I do think having something like Unit.create(...) / Unit.move(...) is nice, clean and quick, it isn't something everyone can grasp right away.

The .j file I provide allows you to see the functions I have written for usage with TESH. So you can start typing Difficulty and it will show you the functions of that system, more importantly, you can see the parameters as well.

 

[Lobster]

Are you still working on this?

 

[Steel]

Yup. For those who remember I had an RPG called Sagas. I wanted to expand the demo map but didn't want to start from scratch. I stripped out everything in Sagas and I've been working on pushing things through here.

Version 1.00 released. There are a bunch of things changed here. I've changed the way to add item into the ItemSystem. You can still use the old style if you already use it.

cJASS is now a requirement.




New ItemSystem creation
The idea behind this change is so you don't have to fill out a single function call and get lost at what you're doing. Example...Was I just setting the level requirement or the strength requirement? I can't remember! FFFFFFFF. This counters the problem. You set what you need. Also, I fixed a problem with figuring out what slot you're trying to add the item to. It takes in a string now and the system will figure out how to do the rest. Previously you would need to figure out the number yourself. Permissions will follow this method in the next version.

//ItemStruct methods.

Changes to this version:
• Added Dependencies Key Timers 2 and GTrigger By Jesus4Lyf. I'll be adding in spells showing people how to use his system in future relases. (All good maps should use Key Timers)
• Overhauled the actual map to give a better demonstration.
• UnitType is not broken up into it's own library. This was causing some confusion between the Unit library and I felt they should be split up.
• Added ability to repick a hero.
• Floating Bars properly remove on first unit passed into the system. Indexation error.
• Changed Hero Selection's radius spawn value from 250 to 350.
• Fixed an error in Hero Selection creating unit at inaccurate spawn point.
• Fixed an operation limit error in Hero Selection.
• Camera pans to selection area on map startup.
• Camera locks onto selection area until a unit is selected.
• Camera pans to spawn area of hero after selection.
• Unit Struct now tracks if the unit has moved from it's original position.
• Unit Struct now has methods to addBar and removeBar. These tie into the FloatingBars library
• Unit System will now automatically index units that a not yet indexed.
• UnitStruct Library added. This library houses the Unit struct and special functions to handle unit death. This change was needed due to circular dependencies due to a new FloatingBars feature.
• FloatingBars will now automatically add a bar to an enemy unit that you select and those units that attack you. This feature can be disabled through a boolean in the setup function.

I believe cJass is not allowed.
