a couple of days or so because I looked for many ways to do it and finally I came up with this. It is simple to do, I use a polygon2D for the page and a skeleton formed by several points/bones in various parts of the page, then with the animator player you animate the positions of the bones that make the page deform, I used as a template an animation of a book turning pages, and simply in each frame of the animation adjust the bones to make the page look like in the animation. This is limited to the fact that when you do the animation you do it for a specific page size, in this demo I used a size of 399x613, if you wanted to animate a bigger or smaller book you would have to redo the animations again. It is simple to do although it can be a little tedious to be doing the animation for each frame (I used about 10 frames). And it can look better or worse depending on how you move the bones and how many polygons you have divided the texture into.

there is still a long way to go. And sometimes I come across things like this shadow system that took me more than 4 days to implement it properly because there was no way to make it work correctly. So I can't give a concrete date

There’s still a lot left to do. I prefer to release something once I have more things completed. I estimate that the database is about 5-10% away from being finished. The event command editor still has an entire page of buttons to be implemented. The map currently loads the character and vehicles, but it still needs the functionality to load events added to the map. The interpreter for event commands hasn’t been started yet. The in-game menus and battle system are also at 0%. Additionally, I still need to populate the database with initial content, configure the included tilesets, create some playable characters and initial events using the LPC character editor, and find sounds and music to accompany the project. I’ll probably release an alpha version once the active events and the command interpreter are partially completed. That way, it can be tested, feedback can be gathered, and unexpected bugs can be resolved.

The page-turning animation is done by moving the bones of a skeleton bound to a Polygon2D to deform the texture, all animated using an AnimationPlayer. For the fake 3D effect of the book opening and closing, a small shader is used to adjust the tilt of the book, along with a second, darkened book placed behind it that moves and changes its size to simulate the book lifting. This is also animated using an AnimationPlayer.

patience my friend! there are still things to do, :)

"I'm using LPC spritesets. These come prepared with multiple animations, and the animations are defined in a text file. For the 'walk' animation, for example, there are 8 frames for each direction. My system will also let you use your own spritesets and character (instead of using those generated by the character editor). Characters you create should have a script with @tool and a couple of initial functions like these: func get_class() -> String: return "LPCCharacter" func get_custom_class() -> String: return "LPCCharacter" Additionally, you'll need to implement a few functions so that everything works with your character when the game processes any command involving interaction with the player’s scene. (I'll include a guide for creating characters other than LPCCharacter that you can use with my system)."

It’s not available yet, but once I have it, I’ll upload everything for free. There’s still a lot to do. Preview of the project: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYe1q5eAjKh7j8U

thanks! 😁

I haven't uploaded it yet. Since it's part of my project, Godot RPG Creator, I want to make more progress on the project before uploading it for testing.

Great idea! Currently, I have the preview on one of the buttons that has the editor above, but the idea of leaving the preview active so you can see how it is going to look is good. I'll keep it in mind.

프로그램은 CC 라이선스로 무료로 제공될 것입니다.

El proyecto sigue en marcha, aunque ahora en verano ira mas lento, pero poco a poco lo voy completando

In general, character parts, including equipment, are represented by atlases prepared with frames for all animations. Each equipment or body part is associated with a configuration file. Additionally, there is another file containing the necessary information to reproduce each animation, organized as a dictionary with the frames of each animation. In the case of weapons, their configuration file includes details such as the type of projectile that can be used, the attack type (animation) and the sound played when attacking. In the script, character animation occurs within the process function. When the corresponding key is pressed, the script manages the display of appropriate images and animations using the configuration files. The editor facilitates scene creation, functioning similarly to the editor. The image montage process involves combining viewports, layering them atop one another until a final image of the character is displayed.

@@_newold awesome, i am making a RPG game using LPC characters and that is a lot of work. Very good ! Hope someday everyone can use something like what you built.

This tool is deeply integrated in my project and depends on multiple components of the project. If you need to use these characters, it is possible to generate them using this tool: pflat.itch.io/lpc-character-generator, from which I was inspired for my version. Adapting my version for use in another project would require significant modifications. Sorry.

@@_newold thank you so much for the help :)

No, the character editor script has a variable that is a dictionary and it saves everything related to the character. Then, when creating the character, it creates a node prepared with different viewports to which the information of the created character is passed, and it shows it on the fly without saving the textures to disk, only using the textures that are already on disk. Perhaps later on, I'll add exporting the character to an image, but not for the moment.

I don't have it uploaded and I don't have it updated to godot version 4. It's for 3.6. If you are interested tell me and I will upload it.

@@_newoldDifferent account but YES I AM INTERESTED

​@@_newoldI'm interested please do upload it

www.mediafire.com/file/swqpaumanug3syd/Mahjong.rar/file It is for godot 3.6, this is the version that I had on my computer, I have not been able to look at it because I do not have version 3.6 installed and I do not know if it works correctly.

is an addon that I am working on and will take me several months to complete. Well more than an addon is a complete project with all the scripts and plugins needed to start creating rpg maker style games.

@@_newold At your own pace then. Great job nonetheless!

Do you mean the demo or the database? I am not going to port the demo, the database already has its version 4 (newold3.itch.io/database-editor-godot-4) with another demo (one similar to vampire survivors).

​@@_newold Clicking the website link leads to an error page. I don't think it's up 😅, Plus awww. I really wanted to test it out too..

@@TheRealFame the link is working, You can also go here to visit the link of any of my plugins: newold3.itch.io/

@@_newold Ahh, gotcha gotcha! Hopefully the plugin works how it's intended~ I'll look around for ways to do this with resource files and normal text.

si claro para lo que quieras. De hecho el demo que estoy preparando combina elementos de un "vampire survivor" con la ambientación espacial y el uso de naves espaciales. Para gestionar toda la información del juego, uso la base de datos que define a los jugadores, enemigos, armas y otros elementos importantes. El plugin también instala un autoload que simplifica el acceso a esta base de datos llamado DatabaseManager. Este script es básicamente un conjunto de funciones que facilita el manejo de la base de datos de manera sencilla. La base de datos se divide en dos partes. En la sección superior, puedes agregar diferentes categorías, como "pokemons," "npcs," "items," y otras. Dentro de cada categoría, puedes definir los parámetros que sean necesarios. Por ejemplo, en la categoría "pokemons," puedes definir una curva de valores para la experiencia, otra para puntos de vida (HP), otra para puntos de maná (MP), e incluso una lista que te permita seleccionar uno o más objetos de cualquier otra categoría, como "skills." En la sección inferior de cada categoría, puedes agregar elementos concretos. En el caso de la categoría "pokemons," estos elementos serían los propios pokemons, y heredarán los parámetros que hayas definido en la categoría. Además, puedes modificar los parámetros en la categoría en cualquier momento, y estos cambios se reflejarán automáticamente en todos los elementos que pertenezcan a esa categoría. Por ejemplo, si olvidaste agregar un parámetro como "edad" y ya habías creado varios pokemons, simplemente puedes añadir el nuevo parámetro a la categoría y se aplicará a todos los pokemons existentes con un valor predeterminado. Luego, podrás personalizar ese valor para cada elemento según lo necesites.

@@_newold Menuda pasada, es que vaya curro. Deseando ver la demo y que salga el plugin porque tienes futura compradora :) gracias por la info tan detallada!

Yes, of course. I already have the godot 4 version finished. I'm not uploading it yet because I'm creating a demo that uses the database. I think it will be ready in a week or two.

​@@_newoldgreat! I will follow your project :)

maybe I will adapt it but in the long term because now I am busy with other projects.

the same one :)

@@_newold Oh, somehow it's really cool to know that lol your other channel where you posted crazy stuff on rpg maker has always inspired me a lot as a programmer, great to know you're active! 😁

@@jorgeaugusto30 yes I'm still here, since I found out about godot I left rpg maker and switched to it and now I'm on version 4 and I'm quite happy ;)

seguiste el tutorial del video y no te aparece? en tu proyecto debe de haber una carpeta llamada "addons", si no está la creas, y dentro copias la carpeta del addon "RPG_maker_Autotile2_3x3" junto con todo su contenido, abres el proyecto en godot y aparecerá la barra de carga importando los datos del addon. Una vez termine de importar ya te debería de aparecer en Proyectos/Ajustes de proyectos/Plugins

@@_newold lo descargue, copie la carpeta "RPG_maker_Autotile2_3x3" hacia la carpeta "addons" de mi proyecto al abrir godot cargar y importa las texturas es mas puedo verlo en el sistema de archivos pero no parece al abrir Proyectos/Ajustes de proyectos/Plugins

@@davidskitrodriguez41 Oye eso es super extraño, puedes abrirlo directamente abriendo la escena que se llama "CreateAutoTile.tscn" que tiene que estar en la carpeta "addons/RPG_maker_Autotile2_3x3/", la abres en el editor de godot y la ejecutas. Por cierto lo acabo de probar en la versio 3.6.beta1.official y funciona perfectamente.

¿I don't understand, what are you trying to say? 😕

I'll do it later, first I want to port my latest addons to Godot 4.

Hi. Nowadays you can generate animated autotiles from RPG Maker 2000 although not automatically, see this gif to see how to do it. For now I don't plan to update this plugin. ibb.co/gZcZfQL. If you want to generate the autorile from a non-animated one, simply select "custom autotile" and in size set 16, now select the autotile and click on the create tile button.

thanks, ^^

send me that video and I'll see if I can help you.

That control is part of my dialog plugin, you can get it here: newold3.itch.io/advance-text-editor

can i ask you something?
