Side Stories: Luka vs All - Group 1

This is Group 1 from the Side Story Luka Vs All. It is going to be made up of a selection of various story.ini files for the side story, all on one page... hopefully without becoming excessively long. Just, in order to create this side story on the site it's going to need sub pages, and ... well, I didn't want to create hundreds of them...

a more complete description will follow later...

Group 1
Group 1 includes the first 12 Monster Girls that Luka will face in his epic battle. It's been split up mainly because I didn't want to have a continued list of all monster girls in one section... Just figured it'd be a really long list... also, this way the story can have other key events happening within the main side story vs just at the start of various battles... should help with redundancy when the story is running, should you lose a battle...

Beyond that, I used groups because I didn't want to put all the battles on individual pages, and I sure couldn't put them all on the same page because - really - that'd be way too long to look at for someone scrolling vs using the navigation menu at the top...

Folder Structure / settings / layout
The folder structure for this is pretty simple... but it's not just one folder so I thought laying it out might help some people...

  - the monster girl quest folder
 *   - the mod folder in your monster girl quest folder
 *   - the folder for my side story
 *   - standard resource directory (custom bg / sprites / sounds / whatever...)
 *   - the folder for the Slime Girl fight (could also be group1\001_slimegirl but I didn't want to get that specific)
 *   - will add more folders as I get to them...
 *   - will add more folders as I get to them...

001_SlimeGirl

 * This section reflects the folder structure ... It will include the story.ini file as well as any custom stuff required for the folder. (maybe custom graphics and / or sound...) Though this section isn't really 100% needed, I felt it important to show the structure along the way so that someone building a complex side story and following along with this tutorial can see how it works. Also because there will be other folders, organization is key... :)



file: story.ini
This section lists the contents of story.ini in the sub-folder 001_SlimeGirl. As with the rest of this project, new commands / options will be described as we get to them. Clicking the linked [#] beside the keyword will bring you to it's description.

Basic Battle Settings

 * This section, including [data], [ruka], [anno] and [sel], is the backing of your story. Everything that's said in reaction to anything that happens is listed here, you can tweak it further in other sections beyond, but here is the initial interaction...

Luka's Skills
notes on this section

Monster Skills
Alright, this section pertains to the monster girl skills... It's made up of [onedari], [skillx#] and [overkill_x#]. This section can get very complex, but doesn't need to... Though there are lots of options available, you don't have to use them all... In this example I've used a very small selection of what's available, so it can be pretty basic. for a full understanding, click here.

The [onedari] section is a little different however, it doesn't actually do anything with the monster girl skills... That section is set to request those attacks during the battle...

[onedari]

 * notes re: [onedari]

Monster Skills: Overkill

 * This section is the overkill sections for various attacks (in this case every attack has an overkill scene). Overkill scenes are a great way to add some customization to the end of your battles, really... anything attack that you've created should have a specific ending, and if you can customize that a little further, why not?
 * Remember, at the end of your overkill section you need to include 'overkill_end', that said, if you have a fairly consistent ending, you could just do minor things in your custom overkill section, then go to another preset, more default, ending that then leads (after overkill end) to your standard [lose] section...
