Should this girl have Red hair or Blond?

For those unfamiliar with my work, This character's original name is Ninian, though I recently changed it to Nina. I'm still not dead set on a name for her, if anyone wants to throw out some ideas.

Her powers are turning plants and animals into monsters and human corpses into zombies.
Her personality is closet to Mikiru from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumia, in that she's a complete coward, hates violence, and will hide from her own shadow. Hence, she makes lots and lots of monsters to keep herself safe from harm.

Her distinct trait that sets her appearance apart from every other person in the world is her blood red hair/eyes. I'm leaning towards the hair idea since, it's more impossible to hide than her eyes.

She is the misunderstood "villain" of the series both in the games and the book.

Edit: Some questions were raised about "why zombies", the reason for that is, unlike plants and animals, humans possess a very strong free will. So, in order to turn them to her side as monsters, they would have to be dead first.

Biography request script.

Sorry, the title should be "Biography Script Request", if anyone can fix that.

I'm wondering if anyone has one. I actually found several, but the links to the Demos were on Megaupload lmao.

I'm not looking for something grand-scale like in ACMS

Something my basic like

If this were a biography screen.

I'm trying to replace the "Save" option in the menu, since in my games, it's always disabled.

This is one of the "Scripts" I found, but thanks to the loving FBI...

How to Make a World Map for XP.

23 April 2012 - 02:49 PM

I've been meaning to post this for a while. This is only for XP, since VX and VX Ace come with a built in system.
This part of my "Just use XP instead" movement.

Step 1:

Make two identical world maps. One is the "walk on land" world map", and the other is the "walk on water" world map.

Step 2:

Change one of the World Map's tile set for specifically ocean-movement.
Meaning go under title sets and create a separate tile set where the player can ONLY move on water, the complete opposite of your "walk on land" world map.

Step 3: Create several boats on your "walk-on-land" world map, and put them on points where you want the player to get into the water (ex. a Beach). The boat serves as a transfer point to your "walk-on-water map" then transform the character sprite into the boat sprite. Set up switches so that the boats never appear at the same time.

Step 4: On your "walk on water" map, create events marking the location for where you want to be able to get back on land. The events should send the player to the same location on the "walk on land" world map.

Step 5: Place events on your "walk-on-land" map for the places you want to visit. (ex, cites, towns, caves.)

I included a tileset made by Inquisitor, and the boat sprite from VX Ace converted to XP.

VX Ace needed more features.

I liked it, but it was better just to loot the resources and use them in XP.

XP

Pros

Lots and lots of custom scripts. Just about every added feature in VX Ace can be done with custom scripts, and more.

More sprite frames.

Can use MIDI audio files.

Cons

Less built-in features.

VX Ace

Pros

Easy character maker

All the VX features: Dungeon generator,Easy map maker, etc.

Can play .OGV movies. (No idea how to even get a .ogv movie file.)

Cons

Very similar to VX to the point it's like...why?

Limited sprite frames.

Can't use MIDI audio files like XP can.

There's little known way to convert .MP4 and .WMV to .OGV movies.

I uploaded the file to 4shared since I can't ever get the DL section to accept my files.

Here's a the YT video:


I already translated it to English, scripts and all. (I was VERY VERY BORED today!)

This is currently the ONLY ABS for VX AcE at the moment.

Also, I REALLY want to know how he enabled two characters. That's not in the current Demo available.
