Achievements [CUSTOMIZABLE][2k3]

[KoomaR]

*First of all, I'm from spain and I don't know german, so excuse me if I haven't put the post in the correct forum (I was using the google translator in the web page)

~Engine: Achievements~



(The achievements menu opens with SHIFT key)

~Requirements~

-> Free variables: 21 and 22

-> Free switches: from 21 to 32

-> In the Data Base, having free the next common events: 11 to 14.

-> RPG Maker 2003 (I don't know if it runs correctly on 2000, I haven't tried, if anyone do it, say me).

~How to add achievements~

0. Switch on the next switch: 0021: can open achievmnt?. This control if the player can open or not the achievements menu.

1. Go to common events in the data base, and you will see:

We have 4 events, the only ones you have to modify is those with: "--->"

2. Go to the event 0012:--->icon achievement, and you'll see:

This event load the small icon images of each achievement. Here, where put "--->here must be the small icon", copy and paste the image which is in the corresponding exception. I.e., if you add the second achievement you'll have to copy the image 8: "achievement lock". Next you edit, and change the small icon. The small icon have a dimensions of 20x20 (ver el ejemplo del logro 1)

3. Go to the event 0013:--->big icon & text. And you'll see:

This event what it does is to show the image and text of the corresponding achievement, as we move over its small icon. Copy the images 18 and 19 of any exception. And paste it below "--->here must be the big icon and the text". Next you edit and in the image 18 must be the big image of the achievement, and in the 19 the description.

4. How to add the achievement in-game:
Simply, turn on the switch corresponding of the achievement. In the engine example, it would be:

~I'm already developing a game, and I want to add it~

If your game meets the top requirements, then open the switches window, and call the switches with the name that have in the next image:

Then go to the variable tab, and call it with the name showed in the next image:

Go to the data base, and copy and paste the common events, which are this 4:

Then copy all the images in the picture folder, with this prefix: "achievement_" and paste it to the picture folder of your game. Now, you have already added the achievements engine to your game

~Changing the theme~

¿Can change the achievements menu theme? YES. Search in the picture folder the image: "achievement_tables.png", then modify it freely. Later, in the PARPG web, will open a section of extras for the achievement menu, with templates to make themes, with themes you send to us, etc.

~The engine in other language~

Originaly, the engine is spanish. Only is available in english. If you want to send us your modification in your language, we'll be grateful.

On the one hand, its nice to see that there are people who share their work with others.

On the other hand, the name "Engine: Achievement" and the tags ( achievement, customizable, engine, programming, system) make me expect a lot more than the basic "show pictures if a boolean is set"-stuff it is.

btw. what does "no se puede abrir el arcivo system" mean?I get that error when i start it.

[KoomaR]

Well, that you've said about "show pictures if a boolean is set", that part is the part that people have to modify. This engine is made for people without a knowledge of programming, can insert in their games an achievement system by copy and paste. I was trying to make something like an script RGSS but for 2k3 with an engine, easy to insert and easy to configure and modify.

The error, I think spanish RTP is corrupted, the error says: "the archive system cannot be opened". I'll give you the system I've used, and we'll see if you continue having the problem. I'll be very grateful if you try that, 'cause i've posted the engine in various international communities, and perhaps they we'll have the same error. The system is this:



If you continue having the error, I'll upload again the engine with the RTP in its folder.

[Corti]

I put the png-file in the system directory but there's still an error. If i manually replace it by opening the project in the rpg maker, i directly run into the next "file missing" error, plus all graphics in the open project are black, which means that you probably use a different RTP.

In germany we are using the so called "Common RTP" which can be downloaded at the frontpagebut since youre not using that many RTP graphics you can as well just import the ones you use.

[KoomaR]

Ok, thanks for the info ^__^ I've downloaded the common RTP, i'm going to delete the spanish RTP.

I've put all the spanishit RTP in the folders, if you could try now (I hope I have not to disturb you again more):

Nice Tool for Fun-Games and Newbies;-9

Somenody had to programm it, since in all 3D Games you have a long list of achievements to get. I agree the tags can be missunderstood, but as far as I can see it should be quite easy to extend the "engine" with further features.

Thx for sharing it with the German Community^^
