[RGSS2 Color Class], Built in Color Class Options

Built in Color Class

Version -
Author Enterbrain/cmpsr2000
Release Date August 15, 2008

Exclusive Script at RPG RPG Revolution


Introduction
This is a reverse-engineered equivalent of the RGSS2 built in Color Class. The RGSS equivalent would be identical, minus the alpha attribute. Using this along with the equivalent Table Class over at RMXP.org and the RPG module will allow developers to fully interact with the .rvdata files in the Ruby runtime in order to build their own applications on top of the RGSS2 data structures.

It's for scripters who want to access RMVX data outside of the RMVX program. Enterbrain has several hidden classes that they probably wrote in c++ to extend the ruby library for the game maker. You can't reconstitute the data from a marshal.load without the code for the classes it is reconstituting. Because of this, it is impossible to load information from the .rvdata files without your own Table and Color Class along with the supplied RPG module. The Table Class has been reverse engineered over at RMXP.org, but I haven't seen a color class anywhere so I had to write my own.

You should only be using this if you are attempting to work with RMVX data inside a normal ruby environment.

let me see, are you saying that you can edit the editor with that? i dont know anything about c++ or ruby, so tell me if im wrong, if you can edit the editor you could make some king of update patchs?... well i dont know

You cannot edit the editor without some serious hacking, and it's against the enterbrain ToS. However, you can use this code to write your own editor from scratch in ruby (or any language that supports ruby interop).

hmm... does this then mean i might be able to make scripts or edit somethings within the game scripts. if not could you maybe show a picture of this editor you speak of

I just wandering if this can use in game.
But since I can't see how it connects to RGSS library or original Color class, I guess not.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this code in an RMVX game, since you do not gain anything by actually knowing it.

I see

Thanks for the answer >_>/
