Munkis' Difficulty Selector

Version: 1.5
Author: munkis
Release Date:01/04/2011


Exclusive Script at RPG RPG Revolution


Introduction
This script gives you a difficulty select screen similar to Wolfenstein 3D.

Features
Use

CODE

$scene = Munkis_Difficulty_Select.new

either in a script or a "Script" event command. Everything (except for the auto-recovery of HP amd MP after the stats are changed) is handled within the script. You still need to use one in-game switch to trigger an event that's on either "autorun" or "parallel process" to do the auto-recovery, as well as any flashy graphical stuff you may want to have. You can set the in-game variable id as well as the base value of that variable in the config module, in case you want to have more than four difficulty options in your game (the command window will scroll automatically if you go beyond the fourth option). Just be sure you add the appropriate amount of faces to the Difficulty_Select_Faces (or whatever you named it) to account for the options, or else you may get error messages. Aliased command_new_game to run as soon as you select the option. This script can also be called from the main menu error-free. Just make sure you set the value of the in-game variable to it's initial base value BEFORE you call the script in the menu command.

CODE

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  * Munkis' Event-based Difficulty select V 1.5
#  * Made by munkis
#    ╔══════════╗
#    ║ FEATURES ║
#    ╚══════════╝
#  * Similar in functionality to my Event-based Travel system, this one lets the
#    user decide how badly they get their asses kicked :)  The variable must be
#    manipulated within the event.
#  * OVERWRITES non-HECO (Hit,Evasion,Crit,Odds) stats of Game_Actor.
#  * V 1.0: Initial release.
#  * V 1.1: Added built-in customizable background animation, as well as
#           comments that I forgot to add to the config module in the first
#           place.
#  * V 1.2: Everything (except for the auto-recovery of HP amd MP after the
#           stats are changed) is now handled within the script. You still need
#           to use one in-game switch (as opposed to the four the old version
#           requires) to trigger an event that's on either "autorun" or
#           "parallel process" to do the auto-recovery, as well as any flashy
#           graphical stuff you may want to have.  You can now set the ingame
#           variable id as well as the base value of that variable in the config
#           module, in case you want to have more than four difficulty options
#           in your game (the command window will scroll automatically if you go
#           beyond the fourth option). Just be sure you add the appropriate
#           amount of faces to the Difficulty_Select_Faces (or whatever you
#           named it) to account for the options, or else you may get error
#           messages.  Aliased command_new_game to run as soon as you select the
#           option.  This script can also now be called from the main menu
#           error-free.  Just make sure you set the value of the in-game
#           variable to it's initial base value BEFORE you call the script in
#           the menu command.
#  * V 1.21: N00Bfix: The value of the in-game variable is now set in the
#            start method, where it should have been all along.  Now all you
#            need to do is call the script; no need to set the variable first!
#  * V 1.22 LITE: Removed un-necessary and redundant code.  Don't drink and
#                 script kids XD
#  * V 1.23: Added the ability to set a particular option as default.
#  * v 1.5: Made compatible with Yggdrasil 1.6.  Also cleaned up the code a bit.

Customization
Just look at the config module in the script, it's pretty easy to understand.

Compatibility
Overwrites non-HECO (Hit, Evasion, Crit, Odds) stats of Game_Actor
