I actually need help, again.

I need a little help with the RGSS scripting. I am trying to make another selection that will start out the game diffently (see below). Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Haven't the faintest idea about scripting, so an answer will have to wait until a scripter pops online.

But I will ask, "What is it you want to do, exactly?".

[gamescripter]

How is New Game[Special] being created after you complete it or before and does it have a variable not being shown

[gamescripter]

Whne its creating the "New Game" Special it isnt creating any map location, etc.. (look at new game) and what would you like this specail to be a new game + or just a harder version as either way you need to set the variables Game_Party etc to values if you want it to create a new game with specail conditions by modifying values such as:

$Game_Party = Game_Party_Special.New with "Game_Party_Special" being another class.

Hope that makes sense

[Willkillforfood]

If you're in a more immediate need of an answer you can always try contacting WetWired and Mjordan2nd

[!King_Amazon!]

I'm pretty sure this is some RPGmaker scripting or what have you, and I'm pretty sure neither Mjordan or WW know anything about it. Bluecube would be a better bet.

[Lenny]

To be honest, I'm not sure about that. BlueCube is an absolute genius with everything RPGMakery... but not the scripting. At least, last time he posted about it he said he didn't know.

Atnas is a good bet for scripting.

Yeah, Ruby just has odd quirks that completely baffle me at this point - maybe one day it'll click. (For now, I'll stick with Perl, it's the language of the moment for me)

Before I had posted the other day I had done this gamescripter, and it didn't work. All I was doing was copying the exact data from a normal start, I am just trying to get it to work then I will apply things afterword.
