[*Exclusive] <+ [Neo-Gauge] ->, 3 colors gauge with outline~ + New HP/MP Gauge!! Options

[woratana]

Neo Gauge
Version 1.0
by Woratana
Release Date: 09/04/2008


Introduction
Here is the script to make 3 colors gauge, and draw 3 levels outline. (You can choose to use outline or not though )

I scripted it after saw some screenshots from my friend's XP game that using Cogwheel gauge,
then I think VX should have other kind of gauge rather than normal gradient_fill_rect

You can use this in your game/script for other use by copy the Neo-Gauge part.
And if you want to use it for HP/MP gauge, I've scripted that for you

It's now support horizontal and vertical line.
Feels free to edit it as you want, or ask me if you've any question about this script.



Features

CODE

# - Support horizontal/vertical gradient bar
# - Draw 3 colors gradient / user can choose spot to draw second color
# - Easy to setting gauge style
# - 2 New methods to help edit bitmap

Screenshot
Some of screenshots when I tested it:
< Test vertical gauge








Scripts
Here is Neo Gauge part~
 neogauge15.txt ( 7.03K ) Number of downloads: 1359

It contains method to draw neo gauge + some (maybe) useful methods for bitmap.

If you want to use Neo Gauge for HP/MP gauge in your game, then get this script too.
 neohpmpgauge15.txt ( 3.08K ) Number of downloads: 1511

It's using red for HP bar, and blue for MP bar, and you can easily change it.
Just look for the lines that I commented in this script.

** If you are using Neo Gauge for limit break too, add this script below HP/MP Gauge part.

CODE

class Window_Base < Window
  HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS = HPMP_GAUHE_X_PLUS
end

Instruction
Place this script above main, and it will work fine

You can setup Neo-Gauge to the style you like in part

CODE

# NEO GAUGE SETTING #

For HP/MP gauge script, there are some settings that you can change in.

CODE

# NEO HP/MP GAUGE SETTING #

You can change gauge back color in this part:

CODE

  #------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Neo Gauge Back Color: Return back colors
  # Set Gauge back color here~ #
  #------------------------------------------------------------

Look for these 3 lines:

CODE

    c1 = Color.new(0, 0, 0) # Black [Color1]
    c2 = Color.new(100, 100, 100) # Dark Gray [Color2]
    c3 = Color.new(200, 200, 200) # Light Gray [Color3]

c1 is color in the left side, c2 is in the center, and c3 is in the right side.

HP/MP gauge's colors are in these parts

CODE

# [Rewrite] * Draw HP gauge

and

CODE

  # [Rewrite] * Draw MP Gauge

Compatibility
No report for compatibility yet.
However, I think the script part for HP/MP gauge may crash with other script that do something with:
- draw_actor_hp_gauge
- draw_actor_mp_gauge

Nice script, sir woratana..

By the way...
If i had another gauge bar how to customize it to make glow same with HP and MP...

Thanks..

[woratana]

Thanks! :3

You can just copy the script in def draw_actor_hp_gauge from here:
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....post&id=545

CODE

    gwidth = width * actor.hp / actor.maxhp
    cg = neo_gauge_back_color
    c1, c2, c3 = cg[0], cg[1], cg[2]
    draw_neo_gauge(x,y, width, HPMP_GAUGE_HEIGHT, c1, c2, c3)
    c1 = Color.new(139,0,0) # Dark Red
    c2 = Color.new(255,0,0) # Pure Red
    c3 = Color.new(255,255,0) # Pure Yellow
    draw_neo_gauge(x, y, gwidth, HPMP_GAUGE_HEIGHT,
c1, c2, c3, false, false, width, 30)

change line:

CODE

gwidth = width * actor.hp / actor.maxhp

to

CODE

gwidth = (formula to calculate left HP/MP/whatever)

Hey wora, can you make it run with KGC's Overdrive Script?

[woratana]

@Kami no kitsune
Done!


I hope you like it >_>~

CODE

class Window_Base
  #------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Overdrive Color
  # Set Overdrive back color here~ #
  #------------------------------------------------------------
  def neo_gauge_overdrive(max)
    if max # Max Overdrive Gauge
      c1 = Color.new(255, 127, 0)
      c2 = Color.new(255, 255, 36)
      c3 = Color.new(255, 127, 0)
    else # Normal Overdrive Gauge
      c1 = Color.new(238, 238, 0)
      c2 = Color.new(218, 165, 32)
      c3 = Color.new(238, 238, 0)
    end
    return c1, c2, c3
  end
  #===================================================================
  
  def draw_actor_od_gauge(actor, x, y, width = 120)
    return unless actor.od_gauge_visible?
    gw = width * actor.overdrive / actor.max_overdrive
    cg = neo_gauge_back_color
    c1, c2, c3 = cg[0], cg[1], cg[2]
    draw_neo_gauge(x + HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS, y + WLH - 8 + HPMP_GAUGE_Y_PLUS, width,
HPMP_GAUGE_HEIGHT, c1, c2, c3)
    if gw == width # Max?
      p 'max!'
      cg = neo_gauge_overdrive(true)
    else # Not Max~
      cg = neo_gauge_overdrive(false)
    end
    c1, c2, c3 = cg[0], cg[1], cg[2]
    draw_neo_gauge(x + HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS, y + WLH - 8 + HPMP_GAUGE_Y_PLUS, gw, HPMP_GAUGE_HEIGHT,
c1, c2, c3, false, false, width, 50)
  end
end

You need 2 scripts in the first post to make this run >_>~ place it above main.

You can change overdrive bar color from:

def neo_gauge_overdrive(max)
if max # Max Overdrive Gauge

# COLORS FOR MAX GUAGE
c1 = Color.new(255, 127, 0)
c2 = Color.new(255, 255, 36)
c3 = Color.new(255, 127, 0)

else # Normal Overdrive Gauge
# COLORS FOR NORMAL GUAGE
c1 = Color.new(238, 238, 0)
c2 = Color.new(218, 165, 32)
c3 = Color.new(238, 238, 0)


end
return c1, c2, c3
end

Neo-gauge require 3 colors instead of 2 colors as normal gauge

Wow this is really nice! I'd like to see something like this in XP too, since it is what I've decided on using. *throws away VX*

[kami no kitsune]

I think that I'm doing something wrong, because when i use this add-on for the overdrive I get an error about HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS being an uninitialized variable. I think I'm doing something wrong. I put this addon as a new script with the name 'Wora neo overdrive' above main and below the other two scripts.
The exact error is

CODE

Script 'Wora neo overdrive' line 25: NameError ocurred.
uninitalized constant Window_Base::HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS

[woratana]

@Endzeit
Someone already ask me about this too.
I may do it. Not sure yet.

@Kami
Oh! XD

That's because I mispell that word in this script,
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....post&id=545

so, in the script above (HP/MP gauge part)
change, HPMP_GAUHE_X_PLUS to HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS

[kami no kitsune]

Woratana FTW! I dont know what would I do without you... and without derVVulfman.... and without Nechi.....

DAMN! Up to now, scripters in this forum did more work than me. Thank you all.

[woratana]

I'm glad to help, Kami.

looking forward to play your game~ >_>

[Gugugulalala]

Do you have a script that shows an action bar on the battle?
Like a character turn bar, that fills up based on his agility status?
Just like old ff battles

[YanXie]

That was a totally different thing >_>

Search for Active Time Battle System for that.

[woratana]

Yeah.

Thanks puppeto.

[cmpsr2000]

[TheSoupKitchen]

Any help will be great thnx.

[zhein04]

Can you make it compatible with DVV's Limitbreak script?

[woratana]

Sure! try this
I haven't test, let me know it works or not~

CODE

class Window_Base
  #------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Overdrive Color
  # Set Overdrive back color here~ #
  #------------------------------------------------------------
  def neo_gauge_overdrive(max)
    if max # Max Overdrive Gauge
      c1 = Color.new(255, 127, 0)
      c2 = Color.new(255, 255, 36)
      c3 = Color.new(255, 127, 0)
    else # Normal Overdrive Gauge
      c1 = Color.new(238, 238, 0)
      c2 = Color.new(218, 165, 32)
      c3 = Color.new(238, 238, 0)
    end
    return c1, c2, c3
  end
  #===================================================================

  def draw_actor_lb(actor, x, y, width = 120)
    return unless actor.lb_gauge_visible?
    gw = width * actor.limitbreak / LB_MAX
    cg = neo_gauge_back_color
    c1, c2, c3 = cg[0], cg[1], cg[2]
    draw_neo_gauge(x + HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS, y + WLH - 8 + HPMP_GAUGE_Y_PLUS, width,
HPMP_GAUGE_HEIGHT, c1, c2, c3)
    if gw == width # Max?
      p 'max!'
      cg = neo_gauge_overdrive(true)
    else # Not Max~
      cg = neo_gauge_overdrive(false)
    end
    c1, c2, c3 = cg[0], cg[1], cg[2]
    draw_neo_gauge(x + HPMP_GAUGE_X_PLUS, y + WLH - 8 + HPMP_GAUGE_Y_PLUS, gw, HPMP_GAUGE_HEIGHT,
c1, c2, c3, false, false, width, 50)
  end
end

Before try it, read post #8 in this topic and change as I said in there first.

[Guest_From_Ariel_*]

could it be made compatible with Mog basic menu plus's exp gauge ?
