Redd's Icons, Eye Candy Options

[Redd]

There are 3 scripts here: TitleIcons, MenuIcons, and EndIcons. I'm working on getting these all put up in one big script, but until then they are separate.

What these basically do is make the Title Screen, Menu, and End Game screen have icons next to their words. You can customize the icons, by the way.

Put all of these above main and below any other scripts you might have

[Show/Hide] TitleIcons

Hope you like them. No need to give credit. They were really simple to make.

If you want me to put icons in a custom menu/title/whatever script, just ask

Ultra thanks to Night_Runner for making the tutorial on how to do this... at least part of it.

EDIT: Here's the whole thing put together in one script:

lol, i already know how to put icons in menu and title but anyway cool very simple but nice isn't there a tutorial which teaches you how to put icon?

[Bigace]

Nice script, but what about the window height.
Something like this was forgotten, unless I'm missing something:

CODE

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #     width    : window width
  #     commands : command text string array
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(width, commands)
    # Compute window height from command quantity
    super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
    @item_max = commands.size
    @commands = commands
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, @item_max * 32)
    refresh
    self.index = 0
  end

So it looks like this:
 menu.png ( 129.33K ) Number of downloads: 129


But when I try to imput it this comes up:
 error.png ( 14.29K ) Number of downloads: 29


I'm no scriptor yet so this is why I can't figure out why this is happening.

[Redd]

Well, that's not my fault. You have lots of other menu addons, causing it to overlap.
What I would do is this:

Go to Scene_Menu
Find line 26
Change

CODE

@command_window = Window_MenuIcons.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])

To

CODE

@command_window = Window_MenuIcons.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5])

What this will do is remove End Game from the menu screen. You cannot remove any of the other strings (the 's') because it would result in strange things, like if you chose to take out s5 (save game) and not s6 (end game), then when you clicked End Game it would instead go to the saving screen. To resizing the window would do you no good, since it would chop off all of the other text.
Sorry.

EDIT: another reason why this could be happening is because you have the Album option.
This would've happened before you got the icons though, so... yeah.
This isn't creating a full on new window for the text to be inside of, only the icons, which means I don't really need length or width for a window or whatever.

Point is, it works fine on the normal menu window.

@Bio Wolfz
Yes. There is a tutorial. I'm just making it much simpler for everyone.
There must have been one big tutorial from the start, right?
And anyways, it's a very simple script that has been done lots of times.

Well if that's the case then I can't use this script.

[Redd]

Hm... that sucks. What you could also do is to take out Steps (who needs to know how many steps they've taken?) and move all of the windows down. That would fix the problem.

Could you also tell me where you found that Game Progress script? It's really cool

[Bigace]

It's all right, I took out the Icon thing from the The Law G14's Menu Scene and modded to where the menu doesn't stretch because it did the same thing yours did. But all I did was change one line and I got it.

Could you also tell me where you found that Game Progress script? It's really cool

I can PM you the script for it, I had to customize the Scene_Menu to fit it but I have to find the demo where came from and I think I got from the Creation Asylum site. However I can still strip it from my game and PM you it and I'll give you the demo later, maybe theres stuff in there may like aswell.

[Redd]

That would be great man. Thanks!

Okay, kinda straying off topic here. Anything else?

[Fixxxer4153]

I don't know if anyone will check this post, but I saw this and it reminded me of something similar I wanted to do. Unfortunately I cannot script anything... whatsoever, and I was hoping since this had been done it might be possible to do this as well:

Instead of placing icons in a title screen or menu or anything like that, I was wondering if it might be possible to display icons with a set of choices... say for example in-game you're asked what style of hair or what color eyes you want, sort of an event-based character creation process where you are given several choices, and next to each choice is an icon of what that decision represents.

Its not extremely important and if it would be too much work for a scripter to define a script to realize when a particular set of choices comes up to display an icon next to each choice giving the player a visual of their decision... well i guess that's up to the scripter in any case.

I'm just wondering how much work it would take to do, and if anyone has already made that kind of script?

[Redd]

You could get ccoa's UMS for that. Very easy to do and a lot more features than just that. Google it. It's a great message system.

[Arcx500]

I just added this script and for some reason, I can't see the icons.
And uh... is it normal that I see emotes in the code text? What do I have to put instead of the happy smile? ^^

Edit : Sorry, I didn't read the parts where I had to change some lines in Scene_x

Great script, been looking for ages for something like this. <3
Think you can also make a script to add icons to STR, DEX, AGI and stuff in the status window?
