Thank you so much to everyone for your suggestions and for taking the time to submit reports for issues that have arisen throughout your game making adventures. You're helping make RPG in a Box better for the entire community!

New Features/Changes

• Added "Billboard" toggle setting for sprite-based models and voxel-based models using the sprite mesh type (if disabled, the sprite won't always face the camera)

• Fixed issue where pressing a number key to select a choice during dialogue would inadvertently also consume a quick slot item if an item was in the corresponding slot number
• Fixed issue where using the "+=" operator to append one string value onto another in a Bauxite script would fail with an error about the variable not having a valid value
• Fixed issue where the "Grab" control was not displaying in the bottom right corner if the player was next to a pushable object and then faced it via a scripted direction change
• Fixed issue where currency names and skill descriptions configured in the Stats Editor were not being properly translated in the game UI when using localization

• Fixed issue where the "Fixed Vertical Axis" setting for sprite-based models in the Voxel Editor was not being properly applied to all frames of the model when enabled
• Fixed issue where billboard sprites with the "Fixed Vertical Axis" setting enabled were being changed to have a non-fixed vertical axis if they were selected in the Map Editor
• Fixed issue where the "Rotation" settings were displaying on the Entity Properties tab in the Map Editor for billboard sprites (rotation is not applicable to billboard sprites)
• Fixed issue where previews of sprite-based models (displayed on the right-hand side asset panel) were not being properly generated when a model was saved
• Fixed issue where saving a sprite-based model in the Voxel Editor on a frame other than the first one would cause both of the frames to display concurrently in-game
• Fixed issue where the preview image for the right-hand side asset panel would fail to save properly if a model within another subfolder had the same name
• Fixed issue where a model's tab in the Voxel Editor wasn't being marked as having changes when using the "Clear All" button on the "Configure Attached Objects/Effects" dialog

• Fixed issue where errors related to "process_movement" would display in the external console window when loading a saved game then returning to a map with NPCs (see above)

Thank you for all the continued effort and support you put into RPG In A Box Justin!

I understand and appreciate arron's struggles, but I just wanted to reassure you that we all appreciate the time and effort you are putting into this engine.

We are all excited for when this update comes out!
Keep up the good work!

The new Model Maker will include an Outliner tab which, as its name suggests, displays an outline of the elements within your model. Beyond using it to view the structure of your model, you'll also be able to hide/show elements, rename them, nest them beneath others, and more!

In RPG in a Box 2.0, you'll also have the ability to customize the look of your game even further through the use of shaders! Cel-shading, retro pixel shading - the possibilities are endless!

Creating a 2D or 2.5D game, or just want to add details to your 3D model as billboard sprites? Add a sprite layer to your model! In the teaser video, the grass sprouts are made of sprites. Additionally, you'll even be able to import sprite sheet animations into the Model Maker, a commonly requested feature that will be extremely useful for 2D and 2.5D games!

Want to have more control over the editor layout in RPG in a Box? In 2.0, you will! One of the new options coming is the ability to rearrange tabs in the side containers, either by dragging them or using a popup menu to select a tab's location. Stay tuned for another exciting new feature related to editor layout that I'll be sharing about soon!

New Features/Changes

• Added "Attackable in Real-Time" and "Hostility" settings for enemy spawns in the Combat Editor to specify each enemy's behavior upon spawning
• Updated default behavior for enemies spawned in real-time via spawns configured in the Combat Editor to be attackable and hostile by default

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where the strength value was not being respected when applying noise to voxels in the Voxel Editor
• Fixed issue where ranged weapons were not hitting enemies under certain circumstances when using the grid-based movement system

I updated my Beyond 1.0 roadmap graphic to reflect the major new features planned for RPG in a Box 2.0! My goal is to integrate all of these into the design of 2.0 as I build everything from the ground up, rather than trying to fit them in later on. As you can see, there's a reason why I'm calling it RPG in a Box 2.0!

Over the past few days I've mostly been getting up to speed on everything that's new to GDScript in Godot 4. For those unfamiliar with it, GDScript is Godot's programming language (thus what RPG in a Box is written in). I want to be sure to take advantage of everything that's available, follow best practices, and generally write the most performant and efficient code that I can this time around!

The migration to Godot 4 is going to help bring so many new things to RPG in a Box, both large and small! Beyond the major, flashier features, there should be many quality of life improvements. One cool change I've already come across is the built-in ability to navigate dropdowns via key presses. As shown in the GIF below, you can move up and down using the arrow keys, or even jump to a specific item by typing a name! On top of this, long lists now also display a scrollbar that can be dragged as an alternative to scrolling the mouse wheel.

Keep an eye on this thread for more exciting news as I continue to gain momentum towards 2.0!

I agree, this would be a very convenient feature.

I do it this way in magica voxel:

I'm so excited to present Murasaki Dreams, the new default theme for RPG in a Box 2.0! While this is still a WIP and subject to change, I've reached a point where I'm happy with how everything looks overall. I wanted to create a theme that's more fun and vibrant - something that better represents what RPG in a Box is all about! For anyone who'd prefer to use a plainer theme, an updated Obsidian and Godot theme will also be available. Next step: diving in and starting work on the new and improved editor interface for RPG in a Box 2.0!

Sigg Awesome, I'm really glad to hear it helped! I'm planning to expand that particular one in some of the upcoming releases to include even more features.

Combat Updates in v1.1

RPG in a Box v1.1 brings many exciting new features and improvements to the combat system! Combined with all of the updates to the skill and stat systems, this will open up many more possibilities for your games! Continue reading below for a brief overview of some of the major updates included.

Battle, Round, and Turn Scripts

Several new options were added to the Combat Editor to allow much more customization around what happens during tactical turn-based and menu-driven turn-based battles! All of the scripts listed below have access to the name of the battle ($battle_name) and an array of characters participating in the battle ($characters).

• Pre-Battle Script: Ran before the first round of a battle (i.e. before any combat has taken place).
• Post-Battle Script: Ran at the end of a battle before returning to normal gameplay and any victory/defeat scripts are triggered.
• Pre-Round Script: Ran at the start of each round of a battle. The $round variable will contain a numeric value corresponding to the current round number, starting with 1.
• Post-Round Script: Ran at the end of each round of a battle. The $round variable will contain a numeric value corresponding to the current round number, starting with 1.
• Pre-Turn Script: Ran at the start of each character's turn during a battle, with the self built-in variable referencing the current character. The $round variable will contain a numeric value corresponding to the current round number, starting with 1.
• Post-Turn Script: Ran at the end of each character's turn during a battle, with the self built-in variable referencing the current character. The $round variable will contain a numeric value corresponding to the current round number, starting with 1.

Weapons and Projectiles

• Free Attacking in Grid-Based: When using the grid-based movement system, the player can now freely attack at any time instead of needing to directly interact with an enemy, similar to free movement. This is bound to the Ctrl key by default and can be changed in your project's input bindings.
• Projectile Items: The Item Editor now includes a "Projectile" toggle option for indicating that the item is a projectile. This functionality is used with the "Fire Projectile" function and turrets, with settings for damage, speed, range, on hit script, and sound effect.
• Weapon Sound Effects: A new "Sound Effect" setting is available for items configured as weapons in the Item Editor. The assigned sound effect will automatically play when a character attacks with that weapon equipped.
• Ammo/Energy for Melee Weapons: Melee weapons can now use the "Ammo/Energy Required" setting in the Item Editor to support options beyond unlimited use (i.e. single use, items by ID, and items by tag).
• Character Stat Consumption: Weapons can now require consumption of a character's stat in order to attack with it. This option is available when using the "Ammo/Energy Required" setting in the Item Editor.

Scripting

From a general scripting perspective, this update brings a few new features to Bauxite. This includes a "Fire Projectile" function, retrieving a character's equipment or the count of a particular item in a character's inventory, and a new "team" property in preparation for future functionality.

• Fire Projectile Function: Fires a projectile from a source entity or coordinate towards a target using an item set up as a projectile in the Item Editor (e.g. fire_projectile("ITEM_0001", entity["source"], player, "projectile_id")). If the source is an entity and no target is specified, the projectile will be fired in the direction in which the entity is currently facing.
• Character Equipment: A character's equipment can now be retrieved via script using the new <character>.equipment Bauxite property. This will give a codex containing the equipment, where the keys are the equipment slot IDs (e.g. $right_hand_item = player.equipment["right_hand"]).
• Inventory Item Count: The number of a specific item in a character's inventory can now be retrieved via script using the new <character>.get_item_count(<item_id>) Bauxite function. This will give the total count of a specific item in a character's inventory (e.g. $count = player.get_item_count("ITEM_0001")).
• Character Team: A character's team can be retrieved or changed via script using the new <character>.team Bauxite property, with supported values of "player", "enemy", and null. This only affects characters with the "Attackable in Real-Time" behavior setting enabled. Further improvements and functionality around this will be coming in future updates.

Other Updates

While there are too many changes to mention everything in this post, here are just a few additional improvements related to combat worth mentioning:

• Projectile Improvements in Grid-Based: When using the grid-based movement system, projectiles now move independently instead of remembering their target (i.e. hitting their target even if it has moved away). This means characters can now dodge projectiles and will only be hit if they make physical contact with them.
• Stack Count for Default Equipment: When assigning default equipment to a character in the Voxel Editor, you can now specify an initial stack count if the weapon item is stackable (e.g. throwing daggers).
• On Hit Script Change: Ranged weapons will now also trigger their on hit scripts when hitting tiles, objects, and non-attackable characters (in addition to attackable characters).
• Custom Currencies in Loot Drops: When setting up loot drops in the Combat Editor, you can now include custom currencies. The "Add Currency" button will display a popup menu of all available currencies.

https://rpginabox.com/forum/d/254-release-notes-for-v11

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to announce that I've officially started the migration to Godot 4! Since there have been so many changes and improvements to Godot over the past several years, I decided it would be best to begin with a test project while I get up to speed on everything and learn what's new. This will give me an opportunity to play around and experiment with Godot 4 before diving into the implementation of RPG in a Box itself.

I'll be using this thread to post updates about my progress, so keep an eye out here if you'd like to follow along as I take this exciting next step of the journey!

Skill and Stat Updates in v1.1

RPG in a Box v1.1 brings many exciting new features and improvements to the skill and stat systems! Continue reading below for a brief overview of some of the major updates included.

Skill Targeting

The available options for a skill's target have been expanded to include "Party Member", "Enemy", and "All Enemies". This should open up a lot more possibilities for the way skills can be used in RPG in a Box! When using a custom script as an effect for a skill, the $target variable will contain the chosen party member or enemy (or an array of all enemies if the target is "All Enemies").

• Party Member: Prompts the player for a party member to target with the skill.
• Enemy: Prompts the player for an enemy in the current battle to target with the skill (or an attackable enemy in the current map if the player is not in a battle when the skill is activated).
• All Enemies: Targets all enemies in the current battle (or all attackable enemies in the current map if the player is not in a battle when the skill is activated).

Skill Effects

As part of creating a skill in the Stats Editor, you define one or more effects that will be triggered when the skill is used by a character. As of v1.1, there are several additional options for this:

• Apply Status Effect: Applies a status effect to the target.
• Remove Status Effect: Removes a status effect from the target.
• Clear Status Effects: Clears all status effects from the target.
• Summon Character: Summons a character to the player's team. This is currently only supported in real-time combat, with further functionality to come in future releases.
• Play Sound: Plays the specified sound effect.

Below is a list showing all available skill effects that you can choose from, with more to come!

Status Effects

Status effects can be applied to characters from skills or via scripting and are used to affect their target in various ways, e.g. a stat buff or damage over time. Some new features for status effects as of v1.1:

• "Stun" Status Effect Type: A new status effect type, "Stun", is now available from the "Effect Type" dropdown when setting up a status effect in the Stats Editor. When a character is stunned, they will be unable to move or attack until the status effect is removed.
• Visual Effects for Characters: A new "Visual Effect" setting is available for status effects for assigning particle effects to them, which will be attached to the target character if they have an attach point named "status". You also have the option to customize the attach point for each status effect.
• Retrieving a Character's Status Effects: Bauxite scripts can now use the new <character>.statuses property to retrieve the status effects currently applied to a character. You can use this property with the contains operator in a conditional expression to check if a character currently has a specific status effect.

Scripting

Some helpful new scripting functions related to stats are now available as well. Previously these stat adjustments needed to be done using an "Assign Value" node, however these each have their own visual node as of v1.1!

• Set Stat: Changes a character's stat to a specific value (supports custom stats).
• Increase Stat: Increases a character's stat by a specific amount (supports custom stats).
• Decrease Stat: Decreases a character's stat by a specific amount (supports custom stats).
• Give Currency: Gives currency to a character (supports custom currencies).
• Remove Currency: Removes currency from a character (supports custom currencies).

Other Updates

While there are too many changes to mention everything in this post, here are just a few additional improvements related to the skill system worth mentioning:

• Stat Requirement for Skills: Skills can now require a stat to be consumed in order for the skill to be used (e.g. "mp" for a magic spell).
• Skill Tooltips: Tooltips with a skill's name and description are now shown when hovering over a skill slot.
• Magic (MP) Stat: Characters now have a "Magic (MP)" property that can be set in the Voxel Editor. This determines their initial "mp" and "max_mp" stats.
• Skill Bar Changes: The default skill bar has been updated to now contain five skill slots instead of the previous three. If desired, the default skill bar can now also be overridden with a custom widget. Skills are now automatically added to the first open slot on a character's skill bar when given via the Give Skill function, or removed from their skill bar when the skill is removed via the Remove Skill function.
• Skill Categories: Added "Combat", "Physical", and "Social" built-in categories for skills (in addition to the existing "Magic" category). This is in preparation for future functionality.

• Added "Blockbench (.bbmodel)" as a source file option when importing from an external format into the Voxel Editor (available when the model is created as "Mesh-Based", animations not officially supported yet)
• Added experimental "Sprite-Based" option when creating a new object or character in the Voxel Editor (models are entirely sprite-based, images are assigned from the Model Properties tab)
• Added the ability to assign sound effects per animation frame in the Voxel Editor that will play when the frame is shown (configurable from the sound icon button on the animation toolbar)
• Added "Event Schedule" functionality for tying scripts to specific times of the day/night cycle, set up on a per map basis from the Map Properties tab (e.g. to schedule an NPC to move to different locations throughout the day)
• Added camera boundaries functionality for defining the outer limits for the camera, e.g. to stop scrolling once the edge of a map is reached and prevent the void from being seen (configurable from the Map Properties tab in the Map Editor)
• Added "Facing Player" as an option to the "Camera Orientation" setting in the Map Editor, which will start the map with the camera facing towards the front of the player (initially only supported in grid-based movement)
• Added "Visual Override Only" checkbox to supplement the "Player Override" Map Editor setting (toggle off for a unique character with its own stats, properties, etc.)
• Added initial "zone" functionality to maps (free movement only), with the ability to create passable and impassable zones from the Map Properties tab (passable zones support "Character Enters" and "Character Exits" scripts, impassable zones support "Character Collides" script, "initiator" contains triggering character)
• Added "Add Zone" scripting function for adding a zone to the current map, with parameters for zone name, passability, position, width, depth, and height (e.g. add_zone("toxic_zone", true, coord[0, 0, 0], 64, 64, 16))
• Added "Disable Zone" scripting function for disabling a zone (e.g. disable_zone("zone_name") - scripts for disabled zones won't trigger and disabled impassable zones won't block the player)
• Added "Enable Zone" scripting function for enabling a zone that was previously disabled via the "Disable Zone" function (e.g. enable_zone("zone_name"))
• Added "Remove Zone" scripting function for removing a zone from the map (e.g. remove_zone("zone_name"))
• Added "Set Zone Script" scripting function for modifying a zone's script, with trigger options of CHARACTER_ENTER and CHARACTER_EXIT for passable zones and CHARACTER_COLLIDE for impassable zones (e.g. set_zone_script("zone_name", "zone_enter_script", CHARACTER_ENTER))
• Added "Display Zones" button to the Map Editor toolbar for toggling the display of zones (can also be hidden along with other extras while holding the Backtick (`) key, or Shift + Backtick key to toggle all of them off)
• Added support for tank controls to the free movement system (selectable from the Game Configuration dialog under Settings -> Gameplay -> Mechanics -> Player Movement)
• Added "Air Control" functionality to the free movement system (adjustable from the Game Configuration dialog under Settings -> Gameplay -> Physics -> Air Control, or scripted (see "Set Gameplay Property" function))
• Added initial support for climbing to the free movement system (should be considered experimental for now, more settings for tweaking behavior will be coming in later releases)
• Added "Climb Up" and "Climb Down" actions to the "Available Actions" dialog shown when changing an input binding from the Game Configuration dialog (can be used in place of "Move Up" and "Move Down" for side-scrolling games to allow the player to climb ladders they're standing in front of)
• Added several settings to the "Experimental" section of the Game Configuration dialog for tweaking how collision detection is handled when the player is near a climbable tile
• Added initial support for moving platforms to the free movement system (should be considered experimental for now, more settings for tweaking behavior will be coming in later releases)
