Nice! I wouldn't use this unless I'm making a fan-game for Dragon Warrior though, doesn't look flashy or cool like new RPGs.

[Guest_Black Shadow_*]

There's a bug in this menu.

If you have over 100 gold, the numbers will go over the Gold: thingy.

Atleast, it happen to me O_o

Other from that, it's a rather good menu, but it's to empty for my taste.

[woratana]

@Blackshadow:
Thanks!

The bug fixed now~^^

Updated to Version 1.01
- Fixed Gold_Text Bug


If you're using version 1.00, please update the script~^^

[Endzeit]

This is a nice looking script! Flashy or not, it gets the job done. I prefer simplicity over flashiness anyway so I'll probably use it. Would it be alright if I used this script and built upon it? I'm learning RGSS (slowly ) and I like to tinker with scripts I use.

[woratana]

@Dethecus
Your're welcome for that

You may want to get to Scene_Menu in original script for more information about this,
because this script didn't include all methods from Scene_Menu.

[BurnZer0]

I may use this in a future project.Dragon warrior (Dragon Quest) is my favorite series ^^

[Guest_Black Shadow_*]

Great that you fixed the bug^^

Can't wait to see more menus from you

[woratana]

@Black Shadow
In face, I'm not good at menus though, and I don't have any idea about new menu yet.

If anyone have any idea or picture of idea you want me to make, post it~^^

Anyway, the script that I'm working on is about battle background. If anyone has any idea about that, I will be happy to know.

[Heavyblues]

aww, I was hoping for the system from DQ8 ;3

but this is still really sweet

[neclords]

So simple, beautiful and elegant!!!

[D3wil666]

problems with 30:class Scene_Menu < Scene_Base

[jasonicus]

You should probably elaborate if you want help with the error. What is the problem?

[woratana]

@D3will666

I think it may has some mistake when you put script in.

Try put script in again, because it works fine when I test it~^^

[Nechi]

Great Work,Wor-kun!!!
I will edit look for me use.

[Ekras]

Great Menus.

Could we get the option to remove the "Save Game" from the menu entirely?

For future menu's I was thinking you could do a shop menu that looks like the DQ shops.

[woratana]

@EKras

What is DQ Shop looks like?

For Save Game, I think you better just disable save option,
its easier this way

[Ekras]

Well first off let me add a few other tiny requests for this menu.

1- Could the menu's default location be moved to the upper left like it is in all the DQs?

[Show/Hide] Example

2- Could we get menu over-laps for sub-menus? (currently they appear off to the side of the menu)

3- Could we get the little arrow pointer (you'll see it in the various screenshot)instead of the highlight you currently have? It's more old-school but still looks VERY nice.

----------------------------------------

@EKras

What is DQ Shop looks like?

[Show/Hide] Here are screenshots and descriptions

These are from a DQ5 weapon shop. An armor shop would be the same except showing armor value.

The system is very simple. I put a lot of screenshots so you can see the options in detail- if you need clarification on anything feel free to ask. I skipped a few screens and put what happens there in bold.

Image 1: This is what occurs when you first talk to a merchant.


After you select buy it asks which character wishes to buy the item - no screenshot for this.

Image 2: This is what happens when you click Buy on the main menu of the shop. 16 is your current Attack Power. 27 is your attack power with the new weapon equipped.


Image 3: This is what happens when you select an item to buy.


Image 4: This happens automaticly next. Asking the player if they wish to equip the item now (if not the item goes into the players inventory)


IF YOU SAY NO TO AUTO-EQUIP- it just give you a message, and puts the item into the inventory.

Image 5: If you say yes to auto equip It next displays a text box


Image 6: Than it informs the player that they have been equipped with the item

Image 7: Regardless of which choice you did it asks you next if he can help you with anything else


Image 8: This is what happens when you click Sell on the main menu of the shop



Image 9: This is what happens after clicking on the previous screen in the shop



Image 10: After selecting an item to sell



Image 11: Yes/No box



Image 12: If you say no you don't want to sell an item



If you do sell the item it gives you a message ("thanks for doing buisness") and loops back to asks if theres anything else he can do....

Finally it displays text when you exit the store ("Have a good day")


Additional Shot:

Didn't quite know where to put this one. When you try to buy an item that you cannot equip a text message comes up informing the player that he cannot equip it. It than asks yes or no, and if you select yes puts the item into inventory.

For Save Game, I think you better just disable save option,
its easier this way

Well with it "disabled" it still appears on the menu to the player. In DQ you need to save at a King or Church (House of Healing for those who've only played the NES games), and many other games have you save in places like a save point etc. With it on the menu the player might get confused and think there is a way to "unlock" menu-based saving.


Anyway thanks a ton for your work on this I'm sure i'm not the only one who appreciates it

[Azuaya]

I'm sorry for this necropost but Woratana, may I ask for a favour? Can you also add play time within the menu please? Will appreciate it if you did ^^

[Pimex]

Is there anyway to fix a bug i've got here:

Ive got this script and also ACS(advanced crafting system)
and becuse of that my game end button appears when scrolled down and it doesent got the text Game End.
And the Phone button from that phone script
