Adeyemi's Armament Proficiency

[DerVVulfman]

Adeyemi's Armament Proficiency
Version: 1.2

Introduction

This script allows you to give actors the ability to increase their skill with a select group of weapons.  It does so by giving  an actor's defined combination of weapons a level with experience to gain during use. And as their level increases,  so to does their base attack  used in all manners of combat.



Features

• Define weapon style sets, so a collection of swords (by ID) could be one set and you gain proficiency with all of a given set
  
• Sets have levels, so proficiency is those sets gaining their own experience
  
• The player's own Experience Points or Level curve is used. So proficiency with weapons can be different per actor.
  
• You can gauge how much or little bonus to the base attack score per level
  

Bonus Features

• The in-game removal of class weapon limits. You may need to set a hero's weapon based on their class in the editor. But in-game, a wizard could use a broadsword.
  
• Option to allow for unarmed combat.
  
• Class and/or Actor based penalties for defined weapon use. So instead of saying it cannot be used by that class, their attack rolls will suck.

#
#  INTRODUCTION:
#
#  This script allows you to give actors the ability to increase their skill
#  with a select group of weapons.  It does so by giving  an actor's defined
#  combination of weapons a level with experience to gain during use. And as
#  their level increases,  so to does their base attack  used in all manners
#  of combat.
#
#  Bonus features include:
#
#  * The in-game removal of class weapon limits.  You may be forced to set a
#    specific weapon to an actor at game start. But as the game goes on, any
#    actor can use any weapon defined in the Weapons database.
#
#  * Option to allow for unarmed combat. The system will use the actor's un-
#    adjusted Strength score  (no weapon or armor bonuses) in the base_atk's
#    place. It also includes options to set user and target animation IDs.
#
#  * Class and/or Actor based penalties  for defined weapon use.  So besides
#    giving one proficiency,  it can lower the base_atk score  for any actor
#    or character class using weapons they shouldn't. As an example, you may
#    set up a mages's class to suffer  a 25% penalty to their base_atk score
#    if they used axes or maces (as defined by their IDs).
#    or classes
#
#  I wrote the instructions into the coonfiguration section.  Enjoy.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  NOTES:
#
#  The base_atk value (be it from Game_Actor or Game_Enemy) is used by the
#  Game_Battler class to calculate the 'atk' value used for any/all attack
#  and skill effect systems (not item).  Neither the default main menu nor
#  any other menu screens depicting this value.
#
#  When I created the  'weapon_prof_chance'  method within Game_Battler on
#  line 434,  I did so with the expectation of making add-ons that can in-
#  fluence the actor's chance of success when gaining experience points.
#
#  When you create a weapon style with the WEAP_STYLE hash array, you give
#  each style a name.   Couple that with the leveling system,  prospective
#  scripters could create updates to the Equip, Status any similar menu to
#  show their weapon proficiency levels by name.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  NOTES:
#
#  I named this after a friend and former co-worker whom I found out today is
#  no longer with us.  I wrote it for remembrance.
#

  # in comparison to being armed.  And the attack animation can be set too.

  # LEVEL GAIN ADJUSTMENT
  # =====================
  # The weapon sets for any actor  is based upon the same experience curve as
  # the actor's own experience point  leveling curve.  This means  the weapon
  # style levels can reach level 100 if so defined. However, this section may
  # assist you in slowing down the rate of style set leveling and limit how
  # many levels that the weapon style sets can attain.
  #
  # These levels are important for the LEVEL ATTACK BONUS ADJUSTMENT below.
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #
    WEAPON_DIVIDE = 1     # Set to 3. The higher the rate, the slower the gain.
                          # If set to 1, it is normal. Nothing lower than 1.
    WEAPON_MAX    = 5     # Set to 5, the sets cannot go beyond level 5.
                          # If set to 1, sets won't grow. Nothing lower than 1.

  # LEVEL ATTACK BONUS ADJUSTMENT
  # =============================
  # This final area defines what bonus the actors have when using weapons which
  # they are skilled and trained (based on their applied weapon sets). It is
  # assumed that all values are from 1.0 or higher to assume base attack growth
  # as a value lower would be a penalty.
  #
  # The below example only has five WEAP_BONUS entries as I set the MAX_LEVEL
  # value (above) to 5.  I could set MAX_LEVEL to 10 and make five more entries,
  # but opted not.  Just so ya know, it is flexible.

  #  * Level ID:     The level for any weapon set to give the defined bonus
  #  * Multiplier:   A multiplier bonus to the Base Atk value
  #                  * Normally a Level 1 set would have a 1.0 multiplier.
  #                    But here I thought... they were already training. ^_^

FAQ

The Weapon 'style' for knives within the default script was named Barbasettian, in honor of Luigi Barbasetti of Italy.  A master Fencer and a military master at arms, he was responsible for one of the top ten knife fighting styles.  Your choice of course...



Instructions

Plenty, and all in the script.



Version History

• 1.0 - 2025-04-19:  Original release
  
  
• 1.1 - 2025-04-20:  Altered the experience storage array to track all styles for an actor, not just those currently assigned.
  
  
• 1.2 - 2025-04-24:  Three alterations:

- Altered: Changed value and #method names in RPG script
- Fixed: Value identifying which experience points to test
- Fixed: Method to find highest leveled weapon proficiency

Compatibility

Fairly compatible for RPGMaker XP systems as there are no rewrites to any classes, all content using aliased methods.



Author's Notes

I named this after a friend and former co-worker whom I found out today is no longer with us.  I wrote it for remembrance.

BUMP

to version 1.1

A minor modification has been made to the script.  That change involves the manner in which the weapon style experience points are stored.

This change assumes that any actor could have access to any weapon style, not just those at start. So while the actor might not have been assigned a weapon style at game start, the changing its character class could grant a new style to use and thus require the additional experience point storage defined.

It should be noted that any changes made to the configuration section that involves the increase/decrease of weapon styles would make it required to have a fresh/new save.  This is because it would affect the space allotted for each style's experience.

[DerVVulfman]

BUMP

to version 1.2

It came to realization that there was a flaw in the leveling system, particularly when tracking weapons that could span different weapon styles. And this flaw also involved choosing which proficiency level was used.

Let's say that your hero is skilled with swords. And let's say he is a level two blademaster. However he is so proficient in swords that he is a level 4 swordsman. If you had arranged your list of weapon styles with the blademaster near the top, the system would detect it as a viable weapon style for your sword despite being a level 4 swordman. Rather than selecting the best and highest level proficiency for your weapon, it would choose the first in your weapon list.

That was an issue that had to be fixed. And fixed, it had. the new script now has four weapon styles for testing purposes, and I had plenty of fun raising my blademaster skill while having it trounced by both dagger and sword specific weapon styles.

Meanwhile, there was a bug in the area that applied experience points to the actor, adding the experience into the wrong index position in the actor's weapon experience array.

On a separate basis, I renamed variable and method names in the RPG script near the top of the script as I have other (but similar) plans for the RPG module and the 'character class' class within.
