[Scripter's Tool] Improved Window class, Tiled window backgrounds and more Options

[BigEd781]

(Not Biged781's) Improved RGSS Window class

Purpose

First off, I did not write most of this code. I have tweaked it, made it more readable and a little more efficient, but this was written by a guy named "Peter O" at this site. I found this when looking around for the RGSS source code. I needed to edit the RGSS Window class (not the Window_Base class, the hidden Window class) so that I could change the way windowskins work. Well, I found this, and with a little editing it is working perfectly. Any scripter can look through the source to see what has been added, but the coolest thing imo is the tiled window option.

The most powerful aspect of this code is that it shows you all of the source for the previously hidden "Window" RGSS/2 class.

I have not found any compatibility issues yet, let me know of any bugs. This will also work in RMXP.

Configuration / Use

Just place it in the Materials section. this should go above any other script in that section because it alters the base class for all windows.

Since this was the reason for it in the first place, here is all you have to do to set it to tiled mode;

CODE

window.stretch = false

Screenshots

While this example is ugly, this script will allow you do do something like this below. You can use any type of tile that you like.

Interesting Scripter's Tool.
Is this how it's suppose to look like when using the default window skin?

[Show/Hide] Script Test

It should only look like that if you set stretched = false. This option was good for my FF9 custom menu, because the windowskin in FF9 is tiled and looks like crap when stretched. So, if you have a windowskin that would look better tiled, you should use this. for most windowskins it will look like your example.

Ah. I see. It's good that you got your FF9 menu tiled then. (and that's how you pulled your tiled status off. I thought you used an image or something.)
I'm assuming that you can also set how much stretched the tile is.
What other features are there? (Lol. I think I should just look at it for myself.)

Thanks for this. I'm sure scripter's will find it useful. =D

Actually, the status menu is made from images .

You can't set how stretched the image is in tiled mode because that would defeat the purpose of a tiled image. It just takes the 64x64 rectangle from the top left of the windowskin image and repeats it across the window. The most powerful aspect of this code is that it shows you all of the source for the previously hidden "Window" RGSS/2 class.

As far as other features, it has a color property iof you want to paint the whole thing a single color and a few other little oddities like that, but the ability to change how the windowskin is drawn is the best new feature. I'll add an example to make it more clear as to what you can do.
