hey guys lets make sgrpg

I uploaded my last couple of yearly music compilations to Mediafire.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 4:51 pm

It's not broken. You're broken

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 5:16 pm

Weird. Someone must have deleted the first message on this page or something.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 5:30 pm

I'm guessing it's another case of the phony new page bug.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 5:33 pm

It ia. It also happens for every new page of this thread. How did you guys not know that by now?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 6:13 pm

First time the RDM has experienced it first hand.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 6:28 pm

This bug should be integrated into SGRPG.

To be fair, you yourself are the one being confused by it on more than one new page.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Jul 25, 2018 6:34 pm

That's before we really knew about the bug.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Sun Jul 29, 2018 4:46 pm

Unzip and replace the music folder with this one and you should be all set. It really adds a lot to the game IMO. The version I used wasn't the latest version so some songs may be broken if their original MIDI filenames were changed.

I tried doing another playthrough while this was uploading but the battles are such a slog.

There better be a joke about me getting band for a mere quad post, where other people have not gotten band for octoposts

Oh and LG failing banding me hard!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 12:14 am

Don't spam a bunch when I'm tited.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 1:12 pm

Ward was intendionally testing the will and power of the SG admins. I think Calbrena was just being careless when she did it. She'll be band next time though. Ward has opened up the (anti)floodgates!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 1:47 pm

Gotta keep this community of ~10 people in order!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 2:28 pm

We still don't know how close we are from reaching the limit of what the database can contain as well. Pointless spam will only push it closer.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 5:25 pm

It cheapens new pages when you go that far too. Quad posts is one thing but Ward did multiple quad posts with only one post in between. He was basically going to do those 11 posts regardless of whether there were any posts in between at all.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 5:48 pm

Yes I agree Ward’s spamming was a bit ridiculous there and at least should have been its own thread.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 8:06 pm

100% intentional.

Part of my motivation was being ditch by everyone and drinking alone. The other part was seeing if 20% of the SG regulars would get band.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jul 31, 2018 8:17 pm

Should have at least posted in the last person to be drunk thread!!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 7:49 am

1) Is there a current version of SGRPG without the menu bug
2) When (hour/day) would be best for me to stream and people to watch (I'm aware nobody outside of this forum would be interested in watching it

).

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 2:51 pm

1) Yes. The RDM can upload a version with the music fixed and a little extra (buggy) content too, if you'd like.
2) Who knows?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 3:08 pm

Don't do it on weekdays if you want me to watch. By the time I'm done with work you're Gone to Bed.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 3:27 pm

RDM. That'd be good thanks.
I'll stream it on a weekend then. Not this weekend (away).

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 1:15 am

Remind the RDM on a weekend. He can't spare the brainpower just now.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Aug 09, 2018 8:51 am

I'll try!

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Tue Aug 14, 2018 1:16 am

While you're at it please nerf all the monster HP and evasion.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Aug 14, 2018 1:24 am

Yeah. Evasion is ridiculous. I don't recall the HP really being a problem though.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Aug 14, 2018 6:27 am

Yeah evasion is stupid. I guess Qmark or whoever originally used it to prolong the game?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:30 pm

The RDM doesn't remember evasion being a problem, but he'll take a look. Someday.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Aug 14, 2018 3:54 pm

Just play the first 10 minutes of the game and you'll see what we mean

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Aug 14, 2018 4:29 pm

It might just be set really high as a default, but that is one shitty default. It's pretty balanced, because the enemies miss a lot too, but it makes regular battles take forever for the most boring reason imaginable. It also tends to make battles highly luck-based.

Cid · Post by **Cid** » Wed Aug 15, 2018 12:49 am

Lord Golbez wrote:Yeah. Evasion is ridiculous. I don't recall the HP really being a problem though.

Maybe the HP just seems really high because only one out of ten attacks actually connect.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Aug 15, 2018 1:04 am

Yes. If it requires more than one attack to kill an enemy under those circumstances, it's too much.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 9:33 pm

Update: the RDM downloaded that music folder. Progress!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 11:17 pm

RDM wrote:The hit rate thing appears to be a balance issue with the Agility stat. You're essentially pWned if your opponent has higher agility than you. Rekki the baws has 22 agility, Shaun maxes out at 15.

It turns out the RDM fixed the hit rate thing a ways back.

Cid wrote: The issue I haven't figured out is why all the MIDI music sounds like shit. I know it's MIDI but when I was on XP back in the day it all sounded like it should from the original games. Now it sounds overly simplified and really bad. Also a lot of notes are played as piano notes that shouldn't be.

EDIT: I couldn't figure out the music issue so I'm replacing all the MIDI files with their MP3 equivalent. I tested the intro with the new music and it actually adds a lot to the game. When I'm done I'll zip it up and reupload if anyone wants to play this version.
git gud

These are integrated now.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 2:56 am

Forwards threads and backwards threads are converging!

The only song I didn't replace was the shop song from the first town which is from Brave Fencer Musashi. I couldn't find it anywhere at the time but it looks like someone uploaded it to YouTube a month after I had originally replaced the files in 2016.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UNhzFXC1ss

Just run that URL through a YouTube to MP3 converter, name the MP3 Shop and dump it in the music folder. That should be all of them.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 6:18 am

SGRPG 2G18 when?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 9:27 am

Song added.

The RDM doesn't know. He supposes he can upload the kind-of-busted version he has right now whenever.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 10:26 am

Is it less busted than the previous version?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 11:27 am

Yes. The menus open and close without issue, you can hit things, and the music is better.

There's also a new (buggy) dungeon for "Rekki's Story" and a tiny bit of content for "Bio's Story."

The RDM is thinking of switching Biz (and maybe Rekki) out for people who actually come to SG.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 12:04 pm

Good idea. Is it built on the version where Damien replaced some other character?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:27 pm

Damien was going to replace Cyan, because that makes sense to the narrative.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:31 pm

I can’t wait for the iOS release.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:34 pm

Is there a way of closing off the story from what we have and moving forward to a sequel/second chapter with current references and characters?

Also. could it say "GO TO BED" when you sleep at an inn?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:46 pm

“GO TO BED!”

> Fine
> Nah

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:57 pm

That's a great idea for the Inn and will be incorporated forthwith.

The RDM doesn't really understand what you mean by the other thing.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 2:10 pm

As in, is the game in the state to wrap up? Still continuing the story of those particular characters seems a bit weird when we know barely any of them any more.

How about a town/building that's all of the current gen SGers? Some LPTPW references. Fei giving history lessons in each town.

Also, I thought it may be a nice touch to add an Easter Egg to the room full of 2000 memes on computers. Maybe have one that shows whatever the latest meme is when a new version of SGRPG is released.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 2:15 pm

Hmm. Interesting.

QMark left the demo in a fairly self-contained state, in that it ends at a split-the-party scene...might be doable somehow.
