Pandora's Box

What is this?

Pandora's Box was originally a section for users to post requests for me to fill out, But I eventually got overwhelmed by the multitude of new script requests coming in daily. (Way too much for one person). So to fix this problem I'm now going to put up a website within the next few week, the site will be an archiving site. I read in a post on here that some script material is being lost due to the downing media sites like Megaupload. Basically once the site is up, You will be able to post new or old scripts along with download links etc into an archive which will allow other users to sift through the mess of scripts with a simple keyword in a search box (such as battle system) or using the navigational system on the site (IE: RMXP > Battle Systems > ATB | TBS | ETC) Users will also be able to make requests on this site those requests will be put into a ticketing system, one the ticket or request is fully completed (this mean all bugs worked out) the requester is allowed to choose to release it to the public or keep it for them selves (once a choice is made the request ticket will be moved or removed)

My Goal?
My goal is simple, I wish to archive all the scripts we know and love, so that future or current RM'ers can look in one location and easily find the program materials they need for their games.

Whats so special about Pandora's Box, compared to everyone else?

To answer your question, how many times have you had to search through your files for that script you need really bad or search through more then 200+ On the Internet to find the perfect scripts for your project.
I personally have spent more time looking for resources for my project instead of actually working on it. Thats why I think it would be more efficient to type in a URL and BAM! Theres a magical box with all
the Scripts I could ever use or want.

How do we know you are good at what you do?

Hmm good thing you ask, below is a spoiler with Screen Shots of some of my most popular systems. Including my Particle System.



Current way to Submit a Request:

All creative and useful ideas are welcomed

Basically submit your idea with a very detailed description of what you want to be in Pandora's Box
Submitting a rough draft or a detailed mock up of your idea with the description would be nice.
Below your Script you must submit your real name or some kind of name to go into the credits for the script idea.(I don't like taking credits for ideas) a name for your Script idea IE: *your name*'s Action Battle System

WARNING: The Script must be logical and useful, IE: it cant be a script to make the gold window appear at the right side of the menu. Also I will only take 2-3 requests at a time right now. Longer Projects will be put on hold so that smaller ones can be completed quickly to make room for larger projects. lastly I do not get paid for this, So I will only work on these during my own time, any help from other members would be appreciated (my skype is azrith001 im on it all the time)

Thank you all HB Games Members
~Pandora

Changes to the above info may be changed at a later date.

Wait, so this is free? And we request something and you make it? And it's either VX or XP? This sounds unreal, is there anything I'm missing, any catch of some kind???

Thank you and have a nice day!

Nope no catch :] Its summer vacation and I have tons of time on my hands :] request it and i make it :]

EDIT:
Chances are, I've made it before so it will take no time to recreate it :]

~Thanks for the reply
Pandora

Do you have any interest in joining a one-woman development team? :P

I kid, I kid. It's awesome that you're doing this, and the examples of your work all look great! I've been looking for someone to create a CMS for a game I'm developing, so I think I'll be spending some time today working on a few mock-ups. Hopefully you will find them worth your time. :)

Title: Dryad point distributer

For credit for the idea just put zchin131 but you don't have too, it's fine with me if you don't.
Ok, so I have a request, can you make/re-create a points system for XP? just to reserve a slot, it might take me at least 5 minutes to come up with a mock up... so hold tight, and can it have a random generator for how many points you get per level up to distribute to the basic stats ranging from 1-5
10% chance of 1 point
30% chance of 2 points
27% chance of 3 points
18% chance of 4 points
15% chance of 5 points
Could it also be accessible from the menu only with an exception of a script command to call the window up.

I'd really appreciate it if you could put in a little pop up window in the top right corner of the screen if you can I'l like it to come up when you level up and the window supposed to say + (whatever points you got for the level up)

The layout:

And the first bar goes up till 35 then goes over the yellow with red, I hope this is a good enough example...

Thank you and have a nice day!

Sure ^^ Get em done and uploaded I will work on them as soon as u post them :] can u give me a name for the script to post in here once you have it posted? :3

@zchin131:

Yes your friend can reserve a spot? I doing the requests in order so if he gets a spot now, then posts something later idk if I will drop other projects that came after his reserved spot... so its kinda useless unless its urgent. And yes i can fill your request :]

PS: Make sure to give me name for the script to put in the Online Database, and the name you want in the credits for the idea.

Ok, it's uploaded and the leaves picture is a brush type off of gimp in case you need to use it, just ask if you want a window, but that's only if you want to use that, otherwise, you can use a nature Leafy design...

Thank you and have a nice day!

lol np I will start now :]

EDIT:

I need more information on what you want, like it shows in the mock up 40 hp, whats the total hp then? 70?

also is that the base stat amount or an added amount? IE: Base hp is 160 added is 40?, do you think it would be better to add hp based off level? or not?

BUMP(idk if this is allowed)

SS:

Alright, so here's my mock-up. I spent a bit too much time on it, I think. I designed it how I'd like it to look without any real knowledge of how this whole coding thing works, so I don't have any unrealistic expectations about what you're able or unable to do. :P



If this is all entirely impossible or just too much work for you, I understand. :) Figured I'd give it a try anyway!

@bikini-martini:
Is there anyway you can send me the images for the Mock-up(Pdf/xcf would be nice) in a zip Via PM? :] Very nice Mock-ups the more time spent the easier it is for me :]

I really don't get what this is or how it works but as yous aid we can rewuest you to get what we want?

I really would want the Licence Board system from FFXII (the top picture) system! //Thank You :)

The License Board System is Done I just have to rewrite it to work with the Default BS and such.

The purpose of this is pretty simple I'm taking requests and making an online database of the scripts that people want/need to make access to them easier.

I remember a similar topic. Someone was also collecting scripts, and made a program to let users select which scripts to activate, I wonder if he gave up.
Anyway, this is different- it's an online database for all your scripts, right?
Judging by the screenshots, you're a skilled scripter.Do you go by other name in other forums, cause I googled your name+ rmxp script and came out empty. Could you post a link to the actual scripts?

:] I'm azrith001, @_@ Most of these are new that I never really got put online, or some of them arn't updated.

and yes online database, idk if I just want my scripts or anyones, but if someone wants to send me in one I will gladly add it :] aslong as its easy and useful :3 I have to approve of it >;3

actually about 80% of what your see in the SS's are not online yet ^^, im pretty sure my most popular script is the White Ties Shadow(which creates white ties styled shadows under the players automatically and form fits to sprite size.)

I could upload some later :P

Wow, is it that "simple"? Well can you give me the Licence Board (FFXII) system script(s) then! Please I don't wanna code after I recieved it/them if possible!

//Thank You very much :)

Your in line, After I rewrite it for the Default battle system I will give it to you :], well I will just post it here with a SS :]

Thsi may seem like a wierd request but here goes. I found Kyo's new party script. It works great but there is one problem. It initilises all of the actors. What I am requesting is the script not initilize the actors but also stores the individual actors data. I.e, you have two mages from the same "Slot" Mage 1 has fully upgraded fire and mage 2 has fully upgraded ice, I don't want to lose the two of them but I want to "Store" them so that I can call on both mage 1 and/or Mage 2 at any time and they have their abilities. Sorry if it dosen't make sense. Also if you could make it so that the charas can be named and that name is stored would be welcomed but not needed. If you choose not to bother with nameing them could you have the name of the actor to auto change to (Name)1. Thanks.

Hmmm, this is very confusing. You need to send me the script you have via pm so I can see what your talking about and a mockup of what you want would help.

Bump(still don't know if im allowed to bump completed projects @_@)

Now Working on, bikini-martini's CMS

and

FFXII License Board System

Ummm if you don't mind could you change some numbers in there, could you make the un-used points limitless, and the numbers not to big, I like to keep stuff simple, and the stats cap at 70, and I want each little gold bar thing, to be equal to 1. in the mockup I used small numbers, if I can change it then don't bother changing it, just tell me what to do, if not then I hope you won't find this annoying...

Thank you and have a nice day!

The instructions on whats what is in the very top of the script with all the configuration you will need.

Can't wait for the license board to be finished! I might use it as well, cause i like that system a lot :)

Uhh, I see, I got everything done but how would I make the bar fill up faster, like one bar for each little point, and how could I make the stats cap at 70? Would that have to be another script, and when I edited it this error kept popping up when I pressed "Q" and "W":

Ive changed what you wanted, Now the stats are customizable, It should fill up faster when you change the cap from 9999 to 70 lolz :3, Also not to sound mean

Just wanted to say that this is an awesome idea. I'm glad there's people out there willing to take their time to hep others. I know you have a few requests ahead of me, but I was wondering if I could reserve a spot in line. My request shouldn't be too difficult, just a HUD. I'll be posting details and mockups soon.

np, I will name it Spades Hud?

I have a comment about the License Board script: in order for it work, you will also have to add a function that determines the amount of LP (License Points) you get for defeating an enemy while using other battle systems than the one used in the demo. You probably know about this, but i think this might be complicated to do. Or am i wrong here? :)

No its not very complicated :] just making an alias for a certain def, the big part it rewriting for Non-ABS :]

Oh, thanks, it's great but I'm having a hard time configuring it and the red bars keep coming up blocking out the stat points and it's all weird like, and when I tried to configure it I changed all the variables to 1 and the base chance to false then tried true and each time it kept raising the stat by the level plus 1 asking for the same amount of points...

This is what I changed it too, and it gives me this:
]
And I also couldn't get any points by using the event person to level up my people, it gave me points for the enemy battle level ups, and is it too much or hard of a task for the window option that pops up in the right hand of the screen saying how much points you got, if it is, is there any other option like it do able? this might seem a lot and I hope I'm not asking to much, if i am, sorry...

Thank you and have a nice day! Whew...
