IRGSS[An RGSS clone for rpg XP]

[PinkCatDragon]

Ive been working on abit of a side project and decided to try and make a RGSS clone in ironruby

This is made to replace RGSS101 essentially and may have other functions for use

ok now that im done with the intro
IRGSS or IronRuby Game Scripted System will:
Use SDL for grphics and audio
Have access to all .NET classes
And will be playable on OS's that support mono(win32,win64,most linux and mac)

Im planing on make a release at the end of the year for a BETA release.

I'm hopeing to make fully compatable with pokemon essentals to allow mac and linux users to play great games made on pokemon essentals and rpg xp

IRGSS may include a way of bundleing your app into nearly a single exeacute

Im not sure if IRGSS is haveing support for mp3 tho

What do you think and consutve cristiom is fine by me

PS am im dislectic so expect spelling issues

all work can be viewed here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nu8v75kan1ltgvy/uqCoDT7SRy

This project sounds interesting, but you would also have to support RPG Maker XP formats as well, like the one for maps.

I assume you plan to continue using RPG Maker XP itself as the development environment for games run under IRGSS?

 

[PinkCatDragon]

Yes i am planing to support rpg xp formats. You cant beat rpg xp editor.

Stuff-Contents other scripts
Test-Copy of pokemon essentals for testing purposes
IRGSS_Main-Main script
SDLDOTNET-Sdl for dot net and DL

Grphics are not working yet
Audio is not there yet
Load data/saveing is there
Script loading is also there

 

[PinkCatDragon]

Some work has been done
Color is now Complete
Script Loading is Working
Bitmap is being started
No Game play yet :(

 

[PinkCatDragon]

IRGSS is now start to load classes and "try to run them" under a stubed System
Normal Rpg Xp=50% Compleate
Pokemon Essentals=30% Compleate (Ironruby cant use Win32) Going to rewrite Win32 useing vbcodeprovoered and dll import

 

[PinkCatDragon]

Win32 rewrite going to plan. It will ether remap to mac or linux version or emulate it in .net

Ah, this caught my attention and made me remember Chaos Project's ARC because it's sorta similar but uses C++ and Ruby.
Will this engine be able to support rgss scripts as well? Or will this be only to make Pokemon Essentials compatible on other platforms?

Sorry for the questions. I was just curious.

 

[PinkCatDragon]

RGSS scripts will be supported

 

[PinkCatDragon]

Win32 calls now reroute to Win32/dllname.rb.
From there ironruby can ether load a .net dll to handle it or handle it self
eg

Spoiler:

class Advapi32
def call(name,args)
if name="GetUserNameW"
return System::Environment.UserName
else
return nil
end
end
end
$api=Advapi32.new

I'm sorry, but doesn't Essentials (and a lot of other RMXP scripts) use Windows-Native Libraries such as the Kernel DLL. Unles I'm mistaken even with Multi-Platform support, you'd have to change all the library names to something that other operating systems can use.

 

[PinkCatDragon]

My engine rewrites win32 too look for a script.
so you would have to find a workaround and put it in a script like i did with the exmple above. Kernel32 is used mainly for ini functions like read private setting which could be handled by a vb class lib or some string functions in ironruby.
so as you said i could make the script load linux equivlent of the dll or i could rewrite it my self

 

[PinkCatDragon]

My deadline for beta is bit off i need more time
STUB VERSION BETA:https://www.dropbox.com/s/d04zi95b1irpzxr/Stub.zip

The stub version will attempt to run a game to the point of loading graphics
because of no graphic implementation

give it a try and post any issues

 

[PinkCatDragon]

update.
Some of the graphics are going some are not

 

[PinkCatDragon]

Update. Code tidy up and more work towards Graphics hopeing to have a basic rpg xp game going in a month

 

[PinkCatDragon]

Been on holday and done college exams ill be working on the project again

 

[PinkCatDragon]

To show this is still going on ill post one the scripts at the min
Script:Libs/RGSS/Graphics/RGSS_Bitmap.rb

Spoiler:

class Bitmap
def init(*args)
if args.size==1
@native=Surface.new(args[0])
elsif args.size==2
@native=Surface.new(args[0],args[1])
end
@disposed=false
end

def width
return @native.Width
end

def height
return @native.Height
end

def rect
return rect.new(0,0,width,height)
end

def dispose
@native.dispose
@disposed=true
end

def disposed?
return @disposed
end

def native
return @native
end

def alpha=(val)
@native.alpha=val
end

def alpha
return alpha
end

def blt(x,y,src_bitmap,src_rect, opacity=255)
tmp_sur=src_bitmap.native.CreateSurfaceFromClipRectangle(src_rect.net)
tmp_sur.Alpha=opacity
@native.blit(tmp_sur,point(x,y))
tmp_sur.Dispose
end

def stretch_blt(dest_rect, src_bitmap, src_rect, opacity=255)
tmp_sur=src_bitmap.native.CreateStretchedSurface(src_rect.net,dest_rect.net)
tmp_sur.Alpha=opacity
@native.blit(tmp_sur,point(x,y))
tmp_sur.Dispose
end
end

Can you implement mp3 loading using lamemp3?

Can you implement mp3 loading using lamemp3?

I might give it a shot i could see that working quite well
