Submission: Slanted Hp,Sp,Exp, and parameters, Slanted bars by sephirothspawn Options

[jens009]

This is perhaps the coolest hp and sp bars customization script out there! Not to mention the most famous one. Anyway, this script should be self explanatory. It creates slanted hp, sp, exp and parameter bars.

Script Title: SephirothSpawn's Slanted Bars
Script Version: Not Specified
Author:SephirothSpawn

Description: Draws a slanted bars to indicate HP,SP,EXP and parameters. Think of how final fantasy X bars look like. Colors are completely customizable and the script itself could make slanted bars for other scripts that require one or is able to have one.

Screenshots: From my game but just look at the slanted hp, sp and limit break bars.

Instructions:Copy the script and paste above main. To further modify the colors, look at the color.new sections of the scripts. To add bars for other uses, use the template of draw_slant_bar(x, y, min, max, width = 152, height = 6). Other than that, the script is pretty much plug and play

Demo Link: This is a waste of bandwidth and time don't you think? Seriously. The script itself is 1kb.

Compatibiliy: The script is expected to be compatible with anything except for scripts that modify the bars too, or uses the same aliases. Which is highly unlikely, I mean... Who would want a slanted bar script with a non slanted bar script? The only way this thing could be incompatible is after you have messed around with the scripts enough I believe.

Credits and Thanks:SephirotSpawn for making the script, Raziel for support with the creation of the script and me I suppose for submitting it in.

Hey this is pretty cool. You said that its a ss from your game? I like your menu/ layout. what is it?

[Blizzard]

Is this a new version or still the old laggy one unlike mine? I assume the latter.

[Dario8676]

what's the syntax to add a slanted bar through the call script command in the event editor?

[jens009]

@dario:
You have to manually change them to follow this format:

CODE

draw_slant_bar(x, y, min, max, width = 152, height = 6,
      bar_color = Color.new(150, 0, 0, 255), end_color = Color.new(255, 255, 60, 255))

For example the hp bar follows this format

CODE

    draw_slant_bar(x, y + 18, actor.hp, actor.maxhp, bar_width, 6, bar_color = Color.new(100, 0, 0, 255), end_color = Color.new(255, 0, 0, 255))

Is this a new version or still the old laggy one unlike mine? I assume the latter.

Blizzard, it's the old laggy one.
Do you mind posting your version?

It's included in Tons of Add-ons already. But here's the code for the bars if somebody wants to compare:

This is for all 7 styles, not just the slant (I should probably refactor the code and make 7 methods instead >.< ). I used a little trick to avoid lag when drawing. The gradient is actually not slanted, but it can't be noticed.

[jens009]

Perfect! I love how you reduce lag with your nifty ways. XD

Speaking of Tons of Add-ons, I'm currently updating the forums RGSS script listings. As I go through the 15 pages of scripts (currently on page 4), I noticed that you continuously point to many members to use your Tons of Add-ons script.

If you haven't made an official thread for it in RRR, can you make one? That way I can make an official link for the Tons of Add Ons script in the RGSS scripting list.

Thanks once again for updating the slanted bars script.

[xenos922]

Hey, I was wondering if someone would help me? I'm kind of new to all this scripting stuff and this one seemed pretty straight forward but I'm getting an error. I copied the code and pasted it above main but I get this error when trying to start my game. "undefined method 'draw_actor_exp' for class 'Window_Base' . Also, how would I add in that add-on posted above to get rid of the lag? Thanks!

Also, how would I add in that add-on posted above to get rid of the lag? Thanks!

The error is saying that there is no draw_actor_exp method for the window base class. I'm really not sure why this error is occuring because draw_actor_exp is a default method for the RMXP. All this script is doing is that it is redrawing that method.

Are you sure you are using RMXP? Because this script is an add on for RMXP only. If you do want it for RMVX, you have to do slight modifications to the script which isn't that difficult.

Regardless, try making a new project and paste the script once again above main. Save your game and try it again.

As for your second concern, the post made by Blizzard is the alternative script. If you don't have enough scripting experience, I wouldn't recommend to use that one since you have to do more modifications in thw Window_Base class.

[xenos922]

Oh I figured it out. Just a small stupid error on my behalf. I have some scripting experience. I'm just sort of new as to how it works with RMXP. But I think I have it all figured out now. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks.

[Alex898]

I like this script but it gives me alot of lag. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where do I paste the add-on so there is less lag? I tried pasting it in the script but it didn't have any effect..

The modifications have to be made on your own.
Luckily, I did it for you. =p

ok ive plugged in your script and it pulls up fine. By plugging it in, I mean that I created a new script above "Main" and threw in your script(not blizzard's) and for some reason I get this:


Which is cool and all but the EXP isnt filling correctly. I then went and battled alittle bit to see if it would improve as the game progressed and this is what i got:


I'm not using any other scripts so there shouldnt be anything conflicting with it. Any ideas? Btw HP and SP work perfectly.

[jens009]

Hmm.. I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Are you sure you loaded up a New Game instead of a Continued game?
If that doesn't fix the problem, try using the script above your post.

Sorry it took so long for me to answer. Yes I have been starting a New Game each time I test. And when I put in the code that was above my last post, I encountered the same issue. I thought that perhaps it had something to do with my characters not starting at lvl 1. So i did a test with that and it looked ok, but when I gained xp from a monster fight I received 1000 XP and I was only 100xp away from my next level but according to the xp bar I was only about 1/4th of my way into my level o_O just like how my last post discribed. It's weird. Any ideas? (Again I am not using any other scripts, this is a new game)

[vvalkingman]

o_o Ok Im an idiot. The 2500/2700 thing was throwing me off lol I was like "im about to lvl why is the bar at the beginning like that?!" sooooo yea, thanks it works fine ^^

[vvalkingman]

Here is another question though. Is there a way to remove the xp numbers from the menu_status screen? I'm talking about the whole "2405/2629" on top of the experience bar when you first open the status menu, like you see here:


Thank you for all of your help!

Hello,

I just recently got back in RMXP. This is a great script and I love how it looks, but there's one thing I just can't figure out. I'm using Animated Battlers, RTAB, and Battle Status Modification (Basically mimicking FF side view) and I just want to resize and move the slanted bars. When I change the width or the x location of the ATG, however, the actual gauge itself moves (that is, the part that fills up), but the empty background bar stays at the same width and x, y coordinates. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't seem to change where the empty background bar goes.

Could you help a poor little newb figure out how to change the size and location of the entire gauge?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Sooo, I actually just answered my own question. Let's hear it for tenacity!

In case anyone else has the same question, here's the answer:


Changing ATG width (Using RTAB 1.16, Battle Status Modifications, and of course the Seph Slant Bar script):

1. Be sure to place SlantBar Modification ABOVE the Battle Status Modification
2. Go to Battle Status Modification
3. Find the class Window_DetailsStatus
4. Find the refresh method (def refresh)
5. Depending on whether you are drawing text left to right and whether or not you are displaying the

enemy window, change the corresponding draw_actor_atg call as follows:

draw_actor_atg (actor, #, #, [CHANGE THIS NUMBER!!!])

The last number is the width of the gauge. If you leave all other settings in the RTAB and SlantBar

script having to do with width alone, this will resize it to your preferences.
