WE HAVE SWITCHED FROM RPG MAKER VX TO RPG MAKER MV
Rules
>We create a video game in RPG Maker MV together with other anons
>You download the game, open it in RPG maker MV and build one location
>Your location can be whatever you want it to be
>If your location has plot material that is unfinished, or a quest that is unfinished, another anon can continue it in his own location
>You cannot tamper with the location of other anons unless you need to change something small so that the character can get into your location or add something really important. Like putting in a teleport for example In other cases just ask
>Fixing grammar mistakes and stuff like that is okay though
>You are free to add characters into inter-dimensional tavern.
>You have to first tell us that you want to create another map before doing it, the anon who says it first wins
>You can generaly change whatever you want or add whatever you want to the game settings unless the thread agreed on something beforehand or if you're overruling a change that another anon made first.
>You have to put the "credits" sequence at the exit of your location with your location added in into the credits. You can change the music if you want
>If you made a new version, make the post in which you're publishing it be a response to the first anchor post in the thread. It makes stuff less confusing.
>Tell us what switch numbers you will be using in your location so it will be easier to integrate it with other's changes.
>You can use our gitgud but you're free to use Megaupload and post your changes into the thread, you just have to ask anons to merge them into one
The basics
>The main character is anon
>Anon's video games were stolen
>His game is about reclaiming his vidy

HOW TO INTO GIT FOR BEGINNERS
Install Git.
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
Install a GUI. I recommend Tortoise git because it's FOSS, but you can pick something else. You don't need a GUI, but unless you are comfortable in the command line you will want one.
https://git-scm.com/download/gui/linux
https://tortoisegit.org/
At this point I'll mainly be giving you keywords to plug into a search engine along with the name of your software and "git" so you can get specifics. Bold means it's a word that will make the search engine give you back something that's at the very least in the ballpark of what you want. If I don't mention a setting, just leave it at the default.
Figure out how to use your software to clone an existing repository. Pick somewhere on your computer for the directory, and for the URL use the following
https://gitgud.io/dankus10/anons-bizarre-vidya-adventure.git
Hit "ok", "do it", "confirm" or whatever else your software has that creates the local copy. It will now download from the remote repository and give you a local working copy. Those files are on your computer now. You just created a fork! Congratulations.
Whenever the remote repository, aka "the git", is updated you can pull from it. That just means you download any files added, remove any files removed and change and files that were changed. Basically you update your working copy on your computer.
Figure out how to use your software to preform a pull, set the remote you are pulling from to "origin", and set the remote branch you are pulling from to "master".
Confirm, hit OK, or whatever and your local copy is updated. You may notice that this happens really fast. That's because you are only downloading the changes, not the entire file, as was the case with mega.
If for whatever reason your software doesn't have a pull feature, preform a fetch from "origin", and a local merge. This is functionally the same as a pull'.
Using the https link means you will need to create an access token. So lets get into how to do that.
When logged into gitlab/gitgud click the Icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. That will bring up your profile. There's a list of links on the left side, and there should be an option called Access Tokens. Click that and it will take you to the Personal Access Token page.
Make sure API is checked and read_user is unchecked. The name can be anything. Set an expiration date more than one month in the future. I have mine set to December 31. Click "Create personal access token" and you will be brought to a new page. Copy the token and save it somewhere safe because you will have to create another one if you forget it.
This token acts as your password. When you push to your remote repository we'll get to that it will ask you for a username and password. Put your username in the username field and put the token in the password field.
Coming up next, how to commit changes and additions, push to the remote repository, and preform a pull request.
128638 No.13897457
Committing save a version of your project that you can go back on later. That's why git is called "version control software". This is great because if your current version is broken beyond repair you can revert to an earlier commit where it wasn't broken and resume from that point onward.
Search for how to commit changes using your software. It's good practice to commit frequently. Firstly you should check for modifications to the files, how exactly that is done differed from one piece of software to the next. Use a search engine for your special case. Some options to note.
Message: Put whatever you want in here. It's most commonly used to say what you did since the last commit, but you can just fill it with keyboard mash or shit-posts. It doesn't matter.
Branch: Sometimes you don't want to commit straight to the master branch. Sometimes you want to play around with your local version in a closed off and safer environment. While branches themselves aren't complex, there's a lot that goes into using them effectively. Here's the official documentation on branches. You can use a search engine to figure out how to do these specific things in your GUI.
https://git-scm.com/book/be/v2/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging
A push pushes your commits to the remote repository. Commits are on only your computer until you push them. A push only pushes commits, and won't save non-committed files or change, so be sure to commit before you push.
Set the local branch to "master" and the remote to "origin". If there's an option for a remote branch, pick "master" as well.
Confirm your choices. You will most likely be prompted for a user-name and password. Put in your gitgud username and the token you created earlier as your password. If you encounter any problems, use a search engine. If that doesn't work, come here and explain what you found and why that didn't work.
A pull request is a message that says "Hey, I finished up here, now put this thing right here into the main branch". For the start, you should have your remote origin master, and the url is the same as before,
https://gitgud.io/dankus10/anons-bizarre-vidya-adventure.git
The "end" is where you want them to stop pulling from. For example if you send a pull request and want to keep working before the pull request is accepted, you set the end to where you know it's stable and then keep working. To figure out what exactly to put there use your specific software's wiki/howto's and a Search Engine.

And that's the overall """story""". Last I checked, the snowy town church was deliberately left open for anyone who wants to put a dungeon inside, with the work already done for alternate dialogue for the townspeople when the day is saved.
There's also a whole bunch of extra side stuff worked into the game, too. We really need to set up a text file with all this shit written down at this point, I think.

Those're my additions! (*•ᴗ•*)
The fixed versions of them that I uploaded last thread ended up getting merged in, right? There was also a fix for a bug where putting your mug back wouldn't reset your character icon included with those fixes as well, so that should be easy to determine.

>an anon forgot to put the end credits onto the end of their map again
Anyway, I'll take the next map. Since nobody objected last thread, I'll make an improved version of the Party Room, since it's looking a bit blank right now. Since the latest version includes a bunch of pregenerated empty maps to help avoid mapping conflicts, I'll take map #101, in case anyone else is working on anything already.

Gist of what was fixed was that the mug event had been set (when we were organising the filenames for the graphics?) to give you the wrong character icon when you put the mug back, the boss fight in the basement in the first half of the spa dungeon set the wrong switch when you beat it (making the first half of the spa dungeon unbeatable), and the two maps of the second half of the spa dungeon had an autorun event without anything to close it.

I used the latest version on the git in >>13901212, which includes small fixes of some sort on top of the snow town update. I also made a few small fixes of my own, including adding the end credits sequence back into the game again I think we should just make it a common event, by this point and changing Gringlebeard's appearance back to something a little closer to what he had back in the VX Ace version of the game (and fixing a small issue in his intro cutscene, as well). Finally, I've been quietly adding bits and pieces on to Teagan's dialogue every time I've uploaded fixes and/or maps in the past, so if you haven't taken a look at her recently, she's got some new lines.
f9a188 No.13902866

If it's that the game freezes up after the monstergirl/lamia fight, that was because of the autorun event that should be fixed in that upload. If it's that there's nothing unlocked after the monstergirl/lamia fight except for a switch appearing in the hub, that's just because that's a placeholder that's meant to lead in to a future quest to release Van Darkholme. If it's that after you beat the lamia either it doesn't disappear, that switch doesn't appear, or random encounters don't stop spawning, then, yeah, that's something that I overlooked.

Have you played what we've got so far? I think all of us have done a pretty good job of putting in a lot of things for people to build off of, and if nothing else you could try adding on to a town (Regular Town's full of buildings without interiors), adding some new equipment to the game or rebalancing what we've got so far, or just making whatever at all to go in the dimensional tavern. Keep in mind that the first thing I added to the game was that I just took a character customization option out of the game intro and attached it to an event in anon's house, and with what I figured out doing that I've gone on to add several areas to the game including a dungeon with its own plot hooks and a new party member.

Is the bug where everyone has access to "I'll call it in" fixed? Also, I think we should start thinking about the future of the classes and equipment. I was thinking that the equipment could be split into 2 different 'types' for each character, which allows for customisation, for instance you could put CIA on a Tank path or make him more of a Burst Damage dude reliant on TP since he has a high AGI. I have no idea what paths Gondola could be put to, obviously Debuffs and Healing would be what he could be specialized for, but on the other hand some anon mentioned making Van Holme a playable character, and he is by core a debuff dude.
Maybe Gondola eventually leaves the party to settle down after passing through an especially scenic place, allowing Holme to take the place of support character?

Nah, Gondola and Darkholme are meant to fill different niches, and in any case I think it's a concept of the game to collect different party members and switch between them. What would be really cool would be if we disabled the party member cap and could then design the later game with all the party members being around in mind.

We're not at the point where we'll even think about that yet. The game's story is probably just about 10% done, and in any case there's all sorts of stuff that could be added aside from the story.

Don't sell yourself short, Anon, your map doesn't look half bad. The only place I can think of where we could immediately fit it in would be to have the main character climb up the vines and through the window in pic related and wind up in the secret forest, but we could probably find a more sensible place to use it later, once a few more maps have been made. Besides, this is just supposed to be for fun anyway.

One thing with linking the path we're going on so far on the main quest with the path you can follow out of Novidya Town, the idea I had in mind was that Novidya Town was near the top of Mount Novidya, and then the places we've got for the main quest are down at the base of Mount Novidya, with the player getting there either by falling down the waterfall or by following a path down the mountain, so I'd like to add a few maps between Novidya Waterfalls and Regular Town and between Regular Town and the map in your pic representing the climb down Mount Novidya rather than there being this sort of abrupt transition there is now.
f15d65 No.13908979
>>13908930
We can also make it so that both of the paths are slightly different storylines but both are necessary to complete. We can say that following Waterfall Path leads to a boss fight with D Nuvo at the end where you find out that he was working for the vidya thief all along and we get a bit of the thief's motives revealed without revealing his identity. On the other hand the path leading out of Novidya town would lead to a slightly different questline which you can do to a certain point until you are blocked from progressing for example you are helping a character do something in a city that is controlled by CIA and the character says that his hands are tied for as long as D Nuvo is in power until you kill the boss of the other questline. After that you are awarded with the possibility of progressing further which leads to discovery of the vidya thief identity. Sorry for ideaguying, I will try to make a map soon once I'm done with my daily routine

There doesn't seem to be an entrance for it anywhere, no. I remember the anon who made it had had an idea for the main character to go around challenging people to street races in order to get some of his racing vidya back, and those races would take the form of slightly customized battles, but I'm not sure if he's still around or still working on it.

It is merged, there was an issue with one event, fixed now
f9a188 No.13915325
I had a thing that I was about to push to the git earlier today, but I lost it because… there were "conflicts" that were stopping me from committing it, except that TortoiseGit wouldn't tell me what those "conflicts" were, and then somewhere along the line my working copy got erased and overwritten and my backup was erased and overwritten with it. I'm a bit bummed out about that.
Here's a rough changelog, since at least this way it'll be clear how to replicate what I was going to do:
>Changed use animations for potions - they were previously set to use the Shout animation - and also for a bunch of skills (read: all of the ones from before the switch to MV) that likewise used the wrong animations. This also fixed animations not playing properly for weapon attacks, since that was because of the attack "skill" having the wrong animation set ("none" instead of "normal attack").
>Fixed the autorun event in the spa hub giving Van Darkholme the wrong character icon, added an "is Van Darkholme in the party" condition check for the message that appears when you take him out of the Spa, and made the autorun event in the spa hub turn encounters on, since I didn't realise that these events I'd set up in the spa backrooms and spa basement to turn encounters off once you'd finished the spa quest would turn encounters off everywhere
>Fixed a ladder event that took you from the spa basement to the spa back rooms giving the player a "direction fix" and "through" movement status that would last forever
>Changed status effect spells to affect a single target
>Minor rebalancing
>Changed dialogue for this interdimensional tavern path blocker that in my last update I had the player be able to get past by having the dimensional orb from the spa to reflect that you can get past him by having the dimensional orb from the spa

The key thing is that its data files are stored as plain text (rather than in this arbitrary file format that VX Ace uses), which allows them to properly be handled by git (not to mention just that merging different versions is a lot easier when you can resolve the conflicts that come with merging just with a text editor), but I think that MV does add some features that are really worth it on top of that. For one thing, its games run through HTML5, so they're cross-compatible between operating systems.

I'll shill again for a planning document. As far as anything else goes, if the project goes dormant then with its "anyone can add anything" concept it can always be brought back, even just with new contributors.
I'd had it in mind that I'd be willing at some point if it really died to just keep building it by myself, if I'd have to.
>>13965208
I've gotta say: Nope. The game's full of open plot hooks, roads deliberately left leading nowhere, and placeholders for unimplemented gameplay/balancing concepts. I'd say the game has about 10%-25% of the content it should have. In any case, having that much built on to it over the span of a bit under a month(?) is pretty damn good, and even if development gets irregular as hell from here I think it'll work fine to just keep going.

Yes, with how most people are acting, you'll wonder if they deserve the effort you put into this game, even if for fun. But there are other anons here who enjoy building a game regardless and if just one other person who thinks alike you gets to play the game, it would all be worth it (the others who are building onto the game could also potentialy be such people).Therefore I think we should continue with the game, and if you or someone else wishes to hop off, they may do so in solitude.
it seems like a lot of people are fed up with Mark, the mods and the users & shills on this board, but no one does something about it. Some people have tried to create their own boards, but they all fell into obscurity. Perharps we should migrate to another videogame-related board and continue our project there? Maybe /svidya/ would work out, I think that one is moderated and has a slow base, but I don't know much about it. Then, Once the game is done, we'll publish it around on all videogame boards to attempt to fish some decent people to it and in the end have good threads again.

I have an idea for a new location but I would need a tileset for a secret lab with a loss theme. Switching from VX to MV we cannot change anymore but Git we can throw out, it seems like a great idea but the fact that one person has to take care of it, and he might disappear as well as the fact that anons have to learn how to use it fucks us over.
