[h3]Hello everyone! Updated to RPG Developer Bakin Ver. 1.3! [/h3] [b]This time, we have implemented mainly functions that are useful for 3D dungeon RPG creation. [/b] More party members, attack range, a mechanism to enhance items, orthographic camera projection, mini maps with auto-mapping, expanded picture book functions, etc., etc., etc. We have also added a sample game to give you a better idea of how to use each feature! [previewyoutube=3CXX1wNGGRU;full][/previewyoutube] And of course, we are also adding features to improve the usability of the tool and further expand the range of games created! - Batch conversion tool for entry names, debug tool execution events and display of raycasting information, etc. - Add various settings to the Layout Tool, including events to change battle speed and move around using map numbers. This is a very long patch note, but please find out its contents! [hr][/hr] [h2] --- New and Improved Features ---[/h2] [h3][[Dungeon RPG Sample Game]][/h3] A simple dungeon RPG sample game has been added to the Game Gallery. It includes elements such as the dropping of enhanced items using item customization events, 2D-style battles, and the influence of attack range on battles. Please use this as an example of how to use the main functions of Ver. 1.3 for your game creation. [h3][[2D Style Battle Related]][/h3] [b]This function can be used, for example, to create a so-called front-view 2D battle with a background of 2D images placed on a billboard. [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42509419/c88a25a23a458e2e2a8ec39f2754a594f7133549.png[/img] [b]- A special coordinate specification tag DamagePosition has been added to the Layout Tool for displaying damage values and damage effects. [/b] [expand type=details]Damage values and damage effects are displayed with the position where this tag is specified as the origin. In addition, containers that contain layout parts specified with this tag will automatically add the effect of swaying from side to side when damaged. On the Battle Status screen, specify and place the tag in the rendering container.[/expand] [b]- A new " Orthographic Projection" option has been added to the Camera Tool. [/b] The size and visibility of the projected object is no longer affected by the distance from the camera. This camera is easy to use for creating 2D games. [h3][[Battle Related]][/h3] [b]This function can be used to introduce the concept of "front row/back row" in battles.[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42509419/389dcc31506359fb2adba3668ebef87a2cba19de.png[/img] [b]- Added "Use Attack Range" and "Attack Range Judgment Type". - Added "Attack Range" setting to Database > Casts & Items, respectively.[/b] [expand type=details]When "Use Attack Range" is turned on, the range values specified for casts and items are enabled for judging during battles. If an enemy is out of range during battle, the battle command "Attack" cannot be selected. The unit of measure for attack range is the battle layout grid; if 0 is specified, attack range is treated as infinite. All skills are judged with attack range 0. If "Attack Range Judgment Type" is set to "Line", diagonal distances on the battle layout are not included in the attack range. In the case of " line ", if the range is set to 1, it can attack "enemies with one grid between them". When "Distance" is selected, the diagonal distance is also included in the attack range. In the case of "Distance", if the range is set to 1, it can attack "enemies adjacent to each other horizontally and vertically". For example, to target an enemy that exists diagonally in front of one grid, put the attack range π2≒1.5.[/expand] [b]- Added "Rearrange by State During Battle" and "Restore the Original Order when States are Removed" to Game Definition > Rules and Operations.[/b] [b]- Added "Move to Back of the Party while Granted" setting to Database > State Definition. [/b] It is intended to be used to automatically move members who have been disabled in battle, asleep, etc. to the back of the group. [b]- "Swap Places" has been added to the function for assigning battle commands in the Database > Casts > Battles tab. [/b] Selecting this command allows you to change the order in the party during battle. Rearranging the order consumes one turn. [b]- Added "Reverse Left/Right Battle Target Selection" and "Reverse Up/Down Battle Target Selection". [/b] Reverses keystrokes for selecting battle command selections. Specify the order of the selection to match the order of the commands in the layout and the order of the party. [b]- The following can now be specified in Game Definition > Common Terms.[/b] -- Added a guide message to the Battle tab when selecting a place swap target. -- The Items tab can now specify the wording to be displayed when the attack range is 0 (unlimited). [b]- Added "Make Battle Rewards Level Dependent" to Game Definition > Rules and Operations. [/b] When turned on, rewards specified in the Database will be multiplied by the level of the reward. [h3][[Increase in Number of Party/Enemy Members]][/h3] [b]The maximum number of members has been doubled to "8" in response to requests for a larger number of members to form a party. The number of enemies appearing in a battle has also been increased to "8".[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42509419/7026aeff96c637e56dad1ef6b4ae65c0f7aa8b24.png[/img] - The number of Accompanied Members can now be set to "7" in the Game Definition>Start Settings to allow for a party of 8 members. - Regarding the area where the number of enemies is specified in the Map Settings and Event Panel, it is now possible to specify up to 8 enemies. [h3][[Enhancement Items]][/h3] [b]Combine database/event/layout to create enhancement items like "Sword +1" or have them dropped by enemies.

[/b] [expand type=details]You can specify action keys specified in Game Definition > Rules and Operations, and pressing the specified key during the game will execute the specified action. This function is enabled when the following is specified as an action: 　　“Call Common Event”, “Close and Call Common Event” and “Sorting Items”.[/expand] [b]- Added "Disable Auto Assignment Container Management Number" to the submenu container settings. [/b] [expand type=details]Normally container numbers are automatically assigned in the order on the tree, but this function allows you to cancel that. This can be used to add the sorting function to the "Item Selection" screen. See an example of its use in the DRPG sample game. [/expand] [h3][[Batch Rename]][/h3] [b]A function to rename multiple entries in a list at once has been implemented. You can also add a suffix to the name in a batch. [/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42509419/084e2a86a9a4ff5b8cf8feaca8a75ed8f49438de.png[/img] Select multiple entries in the following tree, then right-click to display the context menu and select "Batch Rename". [b] [Map Editor][/b] - A "Batch Rename" function has been added to the Placed List and Common Event List.

[b] [Free Layout for Events][/b] [b]- The order in which free layouts are displayed can now be specified.[/b] This can be specified in the Layout Properties. The standard value is 0. The higher the value, the more the image is rendered in the foreground. If the values are the same, the one opened later takes precedence. [b]- A "Save Display State" setting was added.[/b] This can be specified in the Layout Properties. You can choose whether or not to save the display state of the layout when saving. [b] [Improved Layout Tool Operation][/b] - When an image with a No Slice setting is specified as the display image for a layout part, the size of the rendering container is automatically changed to the specified image size. - When pasting a layout part in the Layout Tool, only the name of the top-most parent part is now suffixed with an additional number (such as "_00"). - The display of configurable settings has been improved to switch according to the action specified in the subcontainer menu. - When opening the Add Layout Part dialog, the behavior has been improved so that the rendering container can be placed as soon as OK is clicked. - The display frame of a part can be enlarged without changing the aspect ratio by dragging the frame while holding down Shift on the preview. - The behavior of the preview has been changed so that when a part is clicked while it is expandable or contractible, if the mouse is not moved, the other part at the mouse position will be selected. - Improved the performance when changing the specified values of layout parts to speed up the operation. [b][Layout Tool and Others][/b] - The "Suspend Event Execution" setting has been added to the layout properties of the Free Layout for Events screen and the Main Menu screen. [expand type=details]The "Disable Player Operation" that was previously specified as a setting option stopped both player operation and events when turned on. This new feature allows the player operation and event suspension to be specified individually. [/expand] - For clipping by parent containers, the parent is now recursively viewed to create clipping with the smallest rectangle. - Added a new setting value to the Properties Control section of the rendering container that specifies whether or not to create a clipping area that includes the parent. - In the Discard Item Selection screen, obtained items are now displayed as candidates to be discarded in the field for selecting items to be discarded. [h3][[Game Definition]][/h3] - A function has been added to the "Rules and Operations" section to adjust the range of the player's "talk" detection in the event start condition. Please use this function when the range of detection needs to be adjusted due to player collision size or other issues. - In System Resources, the default image can now be specified when the rendering container and menu container are placed in the Layout Tool. [h3][[Map Editor]][/h3] [b]- A MapID option has been added to the Map Settings > Basic tab.

[b][[Camera Tool]][/b] - For the gazing point of the camera tool, the coordinate value information (height, XZ) to which LPF is applied can be selected arbitrarily. "LPF" stands for low pass filter. The effect is that the camera slowly follows the coordinates of the gazing point. - The tree section now allows the reordering of cameras within each map. Since the camera belongs to each map, it is not possible to move across maps as before. [h3][[Test Play]][/h3] [b]- Added the ability to visualize raycasts to the debugging function "Display Collisions".[/b] [b]- An "Event Monitor" tab has been implemented in the debug window to display events being processed in a list format.[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//42509419/a92d791b8bf710a3648af7d01d8e32430fad388d.png[/img] [h3][[Event Editor]][/h3] - Variable icons in the Variable Selection List are now color-coded by type to make them easier to recognize.
