Hey everyone. This is a project of mine that I've been slowly working away at for maybe half a year now and I thought it was finally time that I posted my work. I'm attempting to make a 2D remake of FF7 using Rpg Maker 2003, so far I've recreated the menu and all the systems that support it (items, materia, equipment, leveling + stat calculations, etc).
I'm mainly making this thread to gather support in deriving algorithms and mechanics from the game that haven't been previously documented, and I figured Qhimm was the place to do it. So here's a demo of the menu; its a little buggy but you'll get the idea.
Currently I'm working on the battle system and I'm in need of the ATB and general time flow algorithms (how battle speed + slow/normal/haste affect regen, barriers, and other counters).
The menu demo:
Controls:
F4 Full Screen/Window Mode Toggle
F5 Large/Small Window Toggle
F12 Return to Title Screen
Cancel on Title Screen quits the game
Z, X, Shift, 1, 2, 3 are the only keys used in the menu. You should be able to figure out what kind of functions they're bound to and hopefully it will become intuitive after a bit.
