Multiple Windowskins, Enable ability to use mulitple windowskins for any window. Options

[deadlydan]

Hi guys, this is another script i just wrote, it enables the ability to use multiple windowskins in any window class that you create.

Here is a screenshot of the result of a test i did:



Here is the script source:
( Note: The script itself contains information on how to use the additions.)

DeadlyDan_WindowSkin

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ■ DeadlyDan_WindowSkin, by DeadlyDan
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Allows to specify a custom windowskin when creating windows.
#==============================================================================
# Usage:
=begin
  
  When creating your window, you need to specify a windowskin name, by default it chooses "Window"
  For example:
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  class Window_Test < Window_Base
    
    def initialize ( x, y, w, h )
      super ( x, y, w, h, "Window2" )
    end
    
  end
  $window = Window_Test.new ( 0, 0, 320, 240 )
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  You can create this window normally and it will set the skin accordingly.
  
  (NOTE)
  When using this with non Window_Base inherited classes, because the limitations of ruby you must specify
  all default parameters before setting the window skin. For example:
  
  Using it with a Window_Selectable inherited class you must call it like so:
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  class Window_Test < Window_Selectable
    
    def initialize ( x, y, w, h )
      super ( x, y, w, h, 32, "Window2" )
    end
    
  end
  
  $window = Window_Test.new ( 0, 0, 320, 240 )
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Notice the "32" parameter, this is the spacing parameter of Window_Selectable. This rule of putting all
  parameters applies for any Window_* class you want to use a different windowskin with.
  
=end

class Window_Base < Window
  
  def initialize ( x, y, width, height, skin = "Window" )
    super ( )
    self.windowskin = Cache.system ( skin )
    self.x = x
    self.y = y
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
    self.z = 100
    self.back_opacity = 200
    self.openness = 255
    create_contents
    @opening = false
    @closing = false    
  end
  
end

class Window_Selectable < Window_Base

  def initialize ( x, y, width, height, spacing = 32, skin = "Window" )
    @item_max = 1
    @column_max = 1
    @index = -1
    @spacing = spacing.to_i
    super ( x, y, width, height, skin )
  end
  
end

class Window_Command < Window_Selectable

  def initialize ( width, commands, column_max = 1, row_max = 0, spacing = 32, skin = "Window" )
    if ( row_max == 0 )
      row_max = ( commands.size + column_max - 1 )  / column_max
    end
    super ( 0, 0, width, row_max * WLH + 32, spacing, skin )
    @commands = commands
    @item_max = commands.size
    @column_max = column_max
    refresh
    self.index = 0
  end
  
end

class Window_Message < Window_Selectable

  def initialize ( skin = "Window" )
    super ( 0, 288, 544, 128, 32, skin )
    self.z = 200
    self.active = false
    self.index = -1
    self.openness = 0
    @opening = false
    @closing = false
    @text = nil
    @contents_x = 0
    @contents_y = 0
    @line_count = 0
    @wait_count = 0
    @background = 0
    @position = 2
    @show_fast = false
    @line_show_fast = false
    @pause_skip = false
    create_gold_window
    create_number_input_window
    create_back_sprite
  end
  
end

class Window_Item < Window_Selectable

  def initialize ( x, y, width, height, skin = "Window" )
    super ( x, y, width, height, skin )
    @column_max = 2
    self.index = 0
    refresh
  end
  
end

The source code for my example is:
( Note: "Window2" and "Window3" are *.png files in the project System directory. The following code over-rides the RMVX ones as an example.)

CODE

class Window_MenuStatus < Window_Selectable

  def initialize ( x, y )
    super ( x, y, 384, 416, 32, "Window2" )
    refresh
    self.active = false
    self.index = -1
  end
  
end

class Window_Gold < Window_Base

  def initialize ( x, y )
    super ( x, y, 160, WLH + 32, "Window3" )
    refresh
  end
  
end

Mr. Deadlydan,

It would be nice if you can post the demo here, so that we can know the size of each window and from that we can prepared the same size picture to fill each window.

One question, can i use this for diff towns like one town is this windowskin and another is this?
