Law's Custom Equipment Screen
Version 1.1 By The Law G14 8/10/09 ~ 05/07/10
Introduction Wow, the day has finally come. My first script that I'm releasing to RRR! It took quite some time to make plus the fact that I planned on making it exclusive to my game, but I decided that it would be alright to release it to the public. This script is a Custom Equipment Screen that I hope you guys find useful for your game. Many more of my scripts will come in the future.
Features Color system, just like in VX, so that if the new stat is stronger than the old stat, it turns green, and if it’s weaker, it turns red. The face graphic of the party member is now shown, or any picture that you would like to use to represent the character. A new user friendly layout of the equipment screen.
Compatibility There may be some compatibility issues with some CMS’s or scripts that mess with the equipment screen. If you encounter any problems, I would be more than happy to help you solve your problem.
Instructions There is something very important that you must do to make the script work and that revolves around displaying the face graphics. To do this, you have to import your face into the pictures section of your recourse manager and name the face graphic '1' for the first actor in the actors tab of your databse, '2' for second, '3' for the third and so on.
FAQ Question 1: How do you make it so that you don’t have to name your actor with the actual name of the character? In my game, the character doesn’t have a set name.
Answer: On line 29, change this:
CODE
bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(actor.name)
to this:
CODE
bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(actor.id.to_s)
All you have to do is name the face graphic '1' if it's the first person in the database, '2' if it's the second, and so on.
Terms and Conditions All I ask for is proper credit where it is due.
Also, if you plan on hosting this script in other sites PLEASE TELL ME.
Special Thanks Special Thanks to Charlie Lee for helping me with the color system. Special Thanks to Ty for helping me learn RGSS. Edited by Night_Runner

Wonderful Law, brilliant to see your first script here.
From looking at the 'presentation' of the code (As the code itself means nothing to me ) it's like your a natural, parts have been commented on, indented parts.
Keep 'em coming
There's some ideas that can be done, I noticed that VX scripts were simply duplicates of XP ones. Since it's easier to script in VX there's now possibly more VX ones, why not check through the RGSS2 section for ideas for more XP scripts

Wow, thank you Dark Holder! I've already started working on my next scripts which inlcudes more custom menu scripts and a quicksave script. Oh, and thanks for that idea you gave me, I'll be sure to look through the RGSS2 forum

Haha, thanks Sicon. Actually, I plan on using it in my game. And yeah, I hope more people can give me some comments because I was wondering what I could add to the script to make it better.

Glad you like it If you find any bugs, errors, or just have a question, don't hesitate to tell me Also, I'm thinking about adding another feature in which you have the ability to either equip your equipment freely or have the option to optimize your equipment, so that the game gives you the best choice of equipment to have.

Found a bug. When drawing the face graphic, it takes away the right most column of pixels in the picture
I found this out when the right line from the frame I made for the face graphic vanished. I even tried adding another row, but it also gets rid of that one
Essentially, instead of drawing, say, a 50x50 square, it will draw a 49x50 square. Even if one makes a 51x50 square, it will still draw a 49x50 square
EDIT: BIG bug
This script doesn't work with the ability to name the actors. For example, in my game, you can name the main character. As such, it causes a few issues, such as crashing the name if I so much as look at the main character's equip screen unless I make sure not to change the name

So what you mean is that you found out the maximum space for a picture is a 49x50 square? Thats a problem, I'm gonna try to work that out.

Actually, what the script does, is find the party member's name in the database. So, what name did you give your main charcter in the database? I'm nnot sure if finding this out will help, but its a try.
EDIT: For the 49x50 square thing, I'm thinking its because in order to initialize the window, I have to take off 32 pixels from the width and height of the actual window which holds the face graphic. This is probably not allowing the picture to get much bigger then 49x50 pixels.

Yeah, that's essentially the issue. I'm not sure of the exact size it chooses, but it does make the width one less than the height

I did try that. It still crashes because the hero's name changes. Maybe having it match up pictures with the same name as the actor ID (e.g. 001) instead of the name would help?

Alright! I got it to work! On line 29, change this:
CODE
bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(actor.name)

bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(actor.id.to_s)
All you have to do is name the face graphic '1' if it's the first person in the database, '2' if it's the second, and so on. Hope that helped
Ah, that fixed the issue with name changing perfectly! Works like a charm now!
EDIT: The pixel being cut off glitch is worse than I thought. I tried doing a quick fix by reducing the face graphic from 102x102 to 101x102, and it still cuts off pixels. I found out the exact maximum width it allows. 99. Yet it seems to not limit the height of the face graphic, which leads to some confusion =/

Do you mind me having the face graphic or picture you're using. Let me try to see what I can do with it and the code.

Will definitely use this (unless I find a better one) Nice job

I know it sucks. It was a placeholder graphic until I had made something better. I had to shrink it down before it fit in the programs (seemingly random) 99+x99 limit

I tested it out and I don't think I found anything wrong. I also checked how big it was and it was 102x102 pixels. No pixels were cut off, also, I have a screenshot of what I see:
Unless I'm misunerstanding what you're saying, everything works fine for me.
