Compatibility

This is an Advisory for those of you using multiple scripts. If you are using other scripts that rewrite the same classes or methods as this one, there may be a conflict and things will work incorrectly in unpredictable ways.

This script automatically adds itself to the default menu if you turn that feature on in the module.

Author's Notes

If you have any suggestion to add to the Monster Album, don't hestitate to ask. But just know that there's a chance that it won't be added.

Where is the demo and/or script? I can asume this script is invalid now. Too bad. I was looking forward to using it. The thing that I was concerned about was if I needed to get all the icons and add the character graphic to EVERY one, but nevermind.

[bigace]

Uh, first the demo link works so I have no clue what your talking about.
second, if you want to request for another link. You can do so in a more professional manner. Otherwise I don't feel condent to do anything at the moment, seeing as the link works fine for me.

I think your confusion may be that the 'Demo' header/title is actually inside the 'Screenshots' header/title. I admit it could be confusing, however I downloaded this script a while ago and had no problem finding the link.
For the record, the download link also works for me as of this post.
This script requires, very minimal setup comparative to what it does, and for the most part I believe just pulls icons and graphics that were already assigned.
I have zero complaints on this script and would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you, and if it's confusing I'll fix it.

Edit: hopfully thats doesn't confuse anymore.

Bad news, mediafire saysthat the download is invalid or deleted. (You could say the media is on fire! Nyah!) But, seriously, it's not going to work.

Do you think you could create a code on a reply so I can access the file, please? It would help if people didn't have to download off media fire and download a zip file open software. (that's what I had to do last time) It would be nice, thanks.

And, sorry if I wasn't polite to request in my first reply. I don't know about anyone else, but I have had a rough day. Anyways, thank you for the response, very quick I might add.

Probably something wrong with your computer if that's the case, but anyways I added a dropbox link in the OP. Enjoy the script.

[crow5757]

Hmmm. I saved the dropbox file and when I opened it using notepad (honestly the best I've got) and it came up with a bunch of this:ʤt@E  å* ¨>ÌŒ >@3 ð«!ÕÌŒüœ7y¤ŸÑÍ´ÒcnŸE Úchm‚v“!#!3

Something wrong with my computer probably. Well, thanks anyways, appreciate the work but I have to be off this soon. Notify me if you think you have a solution and for me vice versa.

[bigace]

Uh, why did you open with notepad may I ask?? That would just corrupt the file if you save it.

Just google a rar file opener of the internent. It's free.
try this: http://free-rar-extract-frog.pwpw.de/

[crow5757]

Well, my laptop is, by far, the worst I've seen in my life and its memory is below 1MB right now. Plus, I cannot download word, or, pretty much, any other software without it slowing down to turtle pace.

But I'll see if I can help it and attempt the rar file opener. I will tell you if the script is successful.

EDIT: I have the script, and I must say, this is the best I've seen for a bestairy. Thank you very much.

[crow5757]

As per usual, the script has clashed with my atb script so, I will find another atb script that doesn't have faults with itself whenever I add another script that's completely unrelated. Any suggestions, then please don't hesitate to tell.

EDIT: More problems are stacking. When I call the script using an event I get a Name error. Any help or any clue what this means?

Edited by crow5757, 27 February 2012 - 08:40 PM.

[crow5757]

Nevermind, sorted the name error. But, now, I have a new problem. The enemies are not appearing in the bestiary when I have defeated them. Any reason why this is happening, please?

[bigace]

What ATB you're using could be helpful.

[crow5757]

<sup>http://members.jcom....script/rtab.txt
Here's the link, however, I'm not sure if this is the problem anymore, but if you think it will help.

The only problem right now is of the actual addition of enem information. After I defeat an enemy in any way, it will not show up and info on the scene. It only comes up with ????? ??. I have no idea what the problem is, so if you can find a solution, that would be great, thanks.</sup>

[Polraudio]

Very awesome script. Just had to make a few edits to get it to work with my title skip and custom menu.
Best monster album script i have ever seen.

[bigace]

Thanks, but as you can see it still needs the conditions on the ability page or it just looks wierd. Other then that it's practically done for now.

[crow5757]

I'm still having problems, it happens in the new version too. When I defeat an enemy in my game using this script the information is still ?????? ??. Could anyone help because I really need this script.

[crow5757]

Ah, I've now seen the notification od the Scene_ uses. This conflicts with my ATB script. Both use the same scene in the script, which obviously means it's incompatible. I can't find a real solution, other making it hugely complicated and maybe a waste of your time just to sort my game out.

I compliment on the script though. It's very useful. Try to contact me if you have a solution, I've already made the ATB link 2 posts ago, in case you need it.
