Customization

To call the shopping interface (Changed in V 2.0!):

CODE

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# IMPORTANT CUSOMIZATION INFORMATION:
# There are 2 ways to call the shopping interface. Both are demonstrated
# in the attached demo game.
#
# Method #1: Built-in Shop Proccessing (easiest for non-scripters)
#
# METHOD #1 ONLY WORKS FOR BASIC SHOPS!
#
# In order to use the preexisting shop interface call from an event, you
# must first provide values to the following fields:
#
# $game_shopping.currentShopID:
# Integer representing the ID number of the shop (starts at 0)
#
# $game_shopping.currentDiscountRate
# Float point representing the discount on used items. (e.g.if the shop
# sells used items at 80% of cost, the value is 0.8 )
#
# $game_shopping.currentSellRate
# Float point representing the percentage of the value the shopkeeper pays
# the player for items. (e.g. If the shopkeeper pays 50% of the item's
# worth, the value is 0.5)
#
# $game_shopping.currentMarkupRate
# Float point representing the shopkeeper's markup (or markdown) of the
# selling prices. For example, If the shopkeeper is greedy and wants to
# markup his items 20% (120% of the item's price in the DB) then the value
# is 1.2. If he is generous and sells his items 10% under cost (90% of the
# item's price in the DB) then the value is 0.9
#
# $game_shopping.currentTaxRate
# Float point representing the tax rate of the shop. (e.g. if the shop has
# a 3% tax rate, the value is 0.03)
#
# $game_shopping.currentInflationRate
# Float point representing the price increase given to items in high demand.
# (e.g. if the shop keeper marks up items 20% when the stock runs low, the
# value is 0.2)
#
# After you have set these variables, you can then use the shop processing
# button from the event wizard.
#
# Method #2: Calling the shopping scene manually (easiest for scripters)
#
# METHOD #2 IS REQUIRED FOR ADVANCED SHOPS!
#
# You can call the shopping scene manually by passing all the above values
# in the constructor. You MUST first define the values of the items in the
# shop before making the shop call!
#
# The format for the shop_goods are:
# $game_temp.shop_goods = [ [ITEM_TYPE1, ITEM_ID1, ITEM_LIMIT1],
# [ITEM_TYPE2, ITEM_ID2, ITEM_LIMIT2],
# etc...]
# ITEM_TYPE: 0 for RPG::Item
# 1 for RPG::Weapon
# 2 for RPG::Armor
# 3 for RPG::Skill <----advanced shops only
# 4 for RPG::Class <----advanced shops only
# 5 for RPG::Actor <----advanced shops only
# ITEM_ID: The ID number of the item in the DB
# ITEM_LIMIT: The max the shop can sell to the player. Set to -1 for no
# limit.
#
# The format for the scene call is:
# $scene = Scene_Shop.new(shopID, discountRate, sellRate,
# markupRate, taxRate, InflationRate,
# restockRate, continuousRestock)
#
# (all the type rules from method #1 apply to this constuctor as well!)
#
# restockRate: How long, in minutes, to wait before the store
# "restocks" its items. (e.g. a value of 90 is 1 hour
# and 30 minutes of playtime) Set to 0 to disable
# restocking completely!
#
# continuousRestock: Boolean (true/false) that determines whether the shop
# restocks continuously. Setting this to true causes a
# shop to restock at the restockRate regardless of the
# player's actions. Setting this to false causes the
# shop to "call" for a restock after the player visits
# a fully stocked store.
#
# If your restockRate is 30 minutes and
# continuousRestock is true:
# When the player visits the shop for the first time
# the timer will start. If the player visits again in
# 45 minutes, The store will be restocked. If the
# player comes back 15 minutes after that, the store
# will be restocked again.
#
# But, if your restockRate is 30 minutes and
# continuousRestock is false:
# When the player visits the shop for the first time
# the timer will start. If the player visits again in
# 45 minutes, the store will be restocked, but the
# timer will reset to 30 minutes! If the player comes
# back 15 minutes later, there will still be 15
# minutes left on the restock timer! This is akin to
# the shopkeeper calling in an order for more stock
# when the player shows up to shop.
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set the number of shopkeepers in your game in Game_Shopping:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# IMPORTANT:
# You will get an error when buying or selling used items if you try to
# pass a shopID that is higher than the number of @totalShopkeepers - 1.
# Set this to the number of shops in your game, or HIGHER! Setting higher
# will waste memory, but you can always count up the number of shops you
# have before shipping your finished game and change it back to the
# correct number!
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@totalShopkeepers = 2

Icon customization is in Game_Shopping:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Change these if you need to use different atribute up/down icons
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@atkIconUp = 1916
@atkIconDown = 1932
@atkIconSame = 1948
@defIconUp = 1917
@defIconDown = 1933
@defIconSame = 1949
@spiIconUp = 1918
@spiIconDown = 1934
@spiIconSame = 1950
@agiIconUp = 1919
@agiIconDown = 1935
@agiIconSame = 1951

Item "pool" labels are in Redefinitions:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Change these if you want to label the item pools differently
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@headings = ["New Items", "Used Items"]

New in v1.0!

New customization options in Game_Shopping:
To control restocking while the player is visiting a store:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set this to true if you would like the shops to restock themselves while
# the player is currently shopping (this will throw up a message to the
# player to notify him of the restock)
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@allowRestockWhileShopping = true

To control the display of tax calculations in the detail window:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set this to false if you do not wish to use tax. Make sure to set your
# tax rates to 0!
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@allowTax = true

To define a single icon for all Classes and Actors:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you want a single icon for all classes or actors, you can set that
# here. If you want to assign icons on a per-class or per-actor basis, set
# the universal to nil, and define the individual ones below.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@universalClassIcon = nil
@universalActorIcon = 1903

To set prices for your actors and classes:

CODE

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Sets price data for advanced shop objects.
#
# PLEASE NOTE: Skills, classes and actors cannot be sold, only bought!
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initPrices
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set prices for skills here. Start at position 1. Each number corresponds
# to the ID number of the skill in the database. If you don't wish to sell
# a skill, use 'nil' in its place. These skills will be discovered the
# usual way instead of being unlocked from purchasing.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@skillPrices = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Skills 1-10
100, 200, 300, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,

#Skills 11-20

nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil,

#Skills 81-82
nil, nil
]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set prices for classes here. Start at position 1. Each number corresponds
# to the ID number of the class in the database. If you don't wish to sell
# a class, use 'nil' in its place. These classes will be discovered the
# usual way instead of being unlocked from purchasing.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@classPrices = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Classes 1-8
nil, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000
]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set prices for actors here. Start at position 1. Each number corresponds
# to the ID number of the actor in the database. If you don't wish to sell
# an actor, use 'nil' in its place. These actors will be discovered the
# usual way instead of being unlocked from purchasing.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@actorPrices = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Actors 1-8
nil, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000
]
end

To set individual icons for Classes or Actors:

CODE

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you have individual icons for each class, define them here!
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
classIcons = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Classes 1-8
1154, 1897, 1682, 1899, 549, 547, 1898, 1630
]

and

CODE

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you have individual icons for each actor, define them here!
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
actorIcons = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Actors 1-8
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
]

To customize descriptions of classes and actors:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the text that will appear in the shop help window for classes here:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
classDescriptions = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Class 1 (Paladin)
"Stout defender and holy warrior.",

#Class 2 (Warrior)
"Me hit things hard!",

#Class 3 (Priest)
"Has anyone seen my alterboy?",

#Class 4 (Magician)

#Class 5 (Knight)
"Yea, I smiteth mine enemies.",

#Class 6 (Dark Knight)
"None shall pass!",

#Class 7 (Grappler)
"My chi is bigger than yours.",

#Class 8 (Thief)
"I can haz ur gold?"
]
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the text that will appear in the shop help window for classes here:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
actorDescriptions = [ #DON'T TOUCH THIS ONE!
nil,

#Actor 1
"Actor info goes here!",

#Actor 2

"Actor info goes here!",

#Actor 6
"Actor info goes here!",

#Actor 7
"Actor info goes here!",

#Actor 8
"Actor info goes here!",
]

If you are an ADVANCED scripter, and you would like to plug shopoholic into your "exhaustible" skill system (i.e. Final Fantasy 8 magic system) so that you can buy multiples of skills, you will need to make edits in several places. They are marked in the code, but here's a rundown:

In Redefinitions:

CODE

if @item.is_a?(RPG::Skill) and $game_shopping.exhaustableSkills
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#If you are building a game with exhaustable skills, add code here
#to increase the specific skill by the purchased amount.
# Note: @item is a skill object in this context!
#
# The next version of shopoholic may implement this if there is
# enough desire for the feature.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
end

and

CODE

elsif item.is_a?(RPG::Skill) and $game_shopping.exhaustableSkills
#number = the current amount of that skill possessed.
else

In Game_Shopping:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you want to be able to restock skills, set this to true. For example,
# if you are building a game where a skill can only be used a certain number
# of times before being replenished(e.g. Final Fantasy VIII), set this to
# true.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@exhaustableSkills = false

depending on your system, you may need to make further modifications. If this is a heavily desired functionality, I will program a system to work directly with shopoholic.

New in v2.0!

To create a bank:

CODE

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# IMPORTANT CUSOMIZATION INFORMATION:
# To call a bank, use the script call:
# $scene = Scene_Bank.new(bankID, rates, slotCost, loanMax, hasVault)
# bankID: The ID of the bank to be shown. (you can show the same bank
# In various events throughout your game, just as you can with
# shops. This way, you can have 1 bank for your entire game
# if you chose)
# rates: An array of interest rates: [savings, checking, loan]
# savings: interest rate for savings accounts at this
# instance of this bank.
# checking: interest rate for checking accounts at this
# instance of this bank.
# loan: interest rate for checking accounts at this
# instance of this bank.
# NOTE: If you have more than one event per bankID you can
# set different interest rates at each one! (sort of like
# branches of a real bank)
# slotCost: Cost for each new Saftey Deposit Box in the vault
# loanMax: The max amount the bank will issue in a single loan. This
# overrides the global setting for max loan if it is lower.
# hasVault Boolean indicating whether or not this instance of this bank
# has a vault. Again if you have multiple events for a bankID
# Then you can enable the vault in some while disabling it in
# others and the players items will persist.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New customization options in Game_Shopping:

You can configure globally whether shops accept debit transactions or not:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set this to false if you do not want shops to accept debit (IE, checks,
# Debit Card or whatever item is linked to checking accounts)
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@shopsAcceptDebit = true

You need to configure the debit item ID as well:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set this to the item ID of the item required to enable debit purchases.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@debitItemID = 21

You can globally configure the amount of an item left in stock that triggers a demand crunch and the inflated prices:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Shopkeepers will start raising their prices on new items when they have
# this number or LESS in their inventory (for limited items)
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@demandAmount = 10

New options in redefinitions:

I added Vocab for banking terms so that you can change them easily. I will probably update this soon and add shopping vocab as well:

CODE

module Vocab
BankAccounts = "Accounts"
BankVault = "Vault"
BankCancel = "Cancel"
BankDeposit = "Deposit"
BankWithdraw = "Withdraw"
BankTransfer = "Transfer"
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The variables below probably belong in a banking module, I'll update it
# when I'm not feeling so lazy!
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Icon indexes for each account type.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BankAccountIcons = [ #Savings Icon
1631,

#Checking Icon
1666,

#Loan Icon
1630
]
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Help window text for accounts.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BankDescriptions = [ #Savings Description
"A high yield savings account.",

#Checking Description
"Provides credit for shopkeepers.",

#Loan Description
""
]
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Account names.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BankAccountNames = [ #Savings
"Savings",

#Checking
"Checking",

#Loan
"Loan"
]
end

In Storage_Slot, you can configure the icon index, though I forgot to comment it:

CODE

@icon_index = 1947

Options in Game_Banking:

Set the max number of banks you have!

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# IMPORTANT:
# You will get an error when managing accounts and vaults if you try to
# pass a bankID that is higher than the number of @totalBanks - 1. Set
# this to the number of *different* banks in your game, or HIGHER! Setting
# higher will waste memory, but you can always count up the number of
# banks you have before shipping your finished game and change it back to
# the correct number!
# Note, if you want one "central" bank, just use the same bankID in each
# bank event.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@totalBanks = 1

You can set how many minutes must pass for interest to be accumulated. All banks proccess interest at the same time in the real world, so if you have a day/night system in your game make sure to set this to the same length as your day:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# How many minutes must pass before the bank compounds interest.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@interestTerm = 2

Set the universal max for loans here:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# You can set a universal maximum for all loans here.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@loanMax = 100000

Set the types of accounts you will allow:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# All banks are created allowing the same account types. if you want to
# disable an account type for your game, change it's value below to false
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@allowSavings = true
@allowChecking = true
@allowLoans = true

Set the max saftey deposit boxes a bank can have in its vault. Any more than 64 will break the vault page:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Number of saftey deposit boxes in the vault. (multiples of 8 look best)
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@maxSlots = 64

Set the starting free(open) slots in each bank's vault here:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Number of starting "free" slots per bank.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@freeSlots = 4

You can change the labels in the Window_Bank_Account:

CODE

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Change these if you want to label the list differently.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
@headings = ["Account", "Interest Rate", "Balance"]

Hello guys

Amazing script, tried the demo, but - I can't seem to get it working on my own, but I'm a total noob to thi scripting stuff as well

Some step by step guidance would have been awesome, thanks in advance
And by step by step, I mean how to get the shops workin etc. I tried but i only get some error messages, I'm open for any suggestions, so please do tell

Oh, and btw, I have pasted all the text in separate boxes in the script editor, am I doing something wrong?

I tried this new script out, and I'm getting this error:

Script 'Redefinitions' line 369: TypeError occured. no implicit conversion from Nil to Integer

I have copied all the new text files just before i used this script, and pasted them above Main Process. How do I fix this?
Thanks for your help

Line 369 for me is part of a case structure and cannot throw that error. Please paste the line 369 in your "Redefinitions" page so I can see what code is causing the error.

You are doing it correctly pasting each into it's own box (like the demo). What error are you getting? Did you follow the instructions for creating a shop in Game_Shopping (also posted in the OP customization section!)?

I have added all now, but is still that error. What can be wrong?

if you are still getting an error at that line number then your lines aren't lining up with mine, paste the code from that line into a reply here so I can see what code is giving you problems.

Also for everyone: if you are using other scripts, don't forget to mention this when reporting a bug!

I solved that problem, thx.

But now i get another error when starting my game:

CODE

Script 'Game_Banking' line 102: NameError occurred

uninitialized constant Game_Banking::Storage_Slot

[cmpsr2000]

I solved that problem, thx.

But now i get another error when starting my game:

CODE

Script 'Game_Banking' line 102: NameError occurred

uninitialized constant Game_Banking::Storage_Slot

Storage_Slot is not a subclass of game banking. You either pasted it into the wrong place or you're messing around with the script The Storage_Slot class exists in the global scope, just paste it into it's own line under materials.

Thx again.

But now, i get another error, !!

It's this:

CODE

Script 'Redefinitions' line 374: TypeError occurred.

nil can't be coerced into Fixnum

I have all the scripts! So you know...


Please help me outte here with all those fucking errors....

[cmpsr2000]

CODE

Script 'Redefinitions' line 374: TypeError occurred.

nil can't be coerced into Fixnum

I have all the scripts! So you know...


Please help me outte here with all those fucking errors....

Line 374 of Redefinitions is "end." Yet again, this cannot throw this error. No line near this line can throw this error. I already double-checked all the downloadable files, and they all work for me. You have either added or removed something from redefinitions that is causing your errors. If you want to modify the script you are welcome to do so, but I cannot support problems caused by other people's modifications. If you haven't done any modification, then you have the wrong file or you have pasted it into your game incorrectly. After you have checked these things, if the error still occurs: If line 374 for you is not "end", then you need to paste your line 374 from redefinitions so I can see what code is causing the error!

I had a thought about this script and have two questions about it. The first one is is there a way to set up a supply and demand type feature you know like 50 of item X would be cheaper then say 20 of item X.

My second question is is there a way to set up a type of trade network with this script for instance buying wine from place a and sell it for more at place b since the advanced store seems to open up some more options with the store.

There is an inflation-price rate which can be set which will cause the price to increase once the stock has been depleted to a specified level. This happens after a purchase, not during a purchase. (If you went into a real store and bought all of a product that they had, they wouldn't charge you more for the last few. However, if you bought all but the last few and the store could see it was a hot commodity, it would raise the price after your purchase. Gas stations do this during false gas-crisis. When there is a run on the pump, they raise the price as the gas in the tank runs low to discourage lines and keep themselves stocked.) However it sounds like what you really want isn't supply/demand, but a bulk discount. I can add this in the next update.

For your second question, yes, sort of. You can set the sellrate higher, but that will cause the shopkeeper to pay more for all items, not just the specific one you want. You can always update the item Price in a script call: $data_items[ITEM_ID].price = YOUR_PRICE

If you did this before each store, you could effectively set up a trade network by setting the prices different at each shop.

Thanks a load this is an amazing script!

You are very welcome!

Freddick, it might be better for you to just download the demo. Take a look at that demo's script editor. Copy/paste the added scripts from there, into your project.

If you did that already, then never mind.

Thank you for trying to help him out. That is a good idea. If you haven't already looked through the way it set up in the demo, it is always good to familiarize yourself with it before attempting to work with the script on your own.

Line 369: lastRestockTime = $game_shopping.shopRestockTimers[@shopID]

Weird, that's 469 for me....are you sure you have the entire file copied in? Maybe the compiler is just reporting the wrong line number Anyway, I'll take a look at it and get back to you shortly. Off the top of my head, it could be the same thing Fred possibly ran into. See my response in bold below.

Hi I have another, rather strange error. The skill shop works with skill 1,2 and 3 but not with 86,97,98 and 101 here is my game_shopping section where you define the prices of skills
and the error occurs on line 495, No metthod error occured undefined method for '*' nil:nilclass

Do you have those skills in your database? If they don't exist in the DB they will return nil. I'll check the code just in case.

I have checked the Demo, it's old, it uses the old script.

this is my line number 474:

timeDif = now - lastRestockTime

the demo is NOT old and does NOT use the old script. I just verified for you for the SECOND time. Also, you said 374 above This line makes more sense for that error. It means a restock time wasn't created. Are you using a shopID higher than @totalShopkeepers - 1 ? Also, if you *change* @totalShopkeepers you need to start a new game! If you load a game it will load the old version of $game_shopping, rather than the new one you just modified!

the addslot function on the bank doesn't actually require any money, you can do it with 0, no matter the setting.

Good catch, I will patch that as soon as I am able!

Yeah I was about to say the same thing, that and is it ever going to be possible to have more than 64 slots? I know this is probably asking a lot, but I'm just wondering at looking at the near future.

I can add the ability for more slots by making the window scrollable. Since you can store 99 of each item, and you can create multiple banks for multiple vaults, I didn't think anyone would actually need more than that lol. I'll work on that for the next version.

I didn't change the number of total shopkeepers, i was afraid i would mess up the script
I'm going to delete the scripts a second time, and then re-copy them into my game and see if that helps.
Thanks for the help, you are doing a wonderful job

Edit: I just started a new game as a experiment, pasted all the script files, made a simple shop that sells potions. When i talk to the event, it says "Buy Stuff?" then tries to open the window, and i get this error: Script 'Redefinitions' line 473: TypeError occured. no implicit conversion from Nil to Integer.

Line 473 lastRestockTime = $game_shopping.shopRestockTimers[@shopID]

I have not changed anything in the script, or left anything out.

Very strange indeed! I wonder why it's not initializing the timers. I will attempt to replicate the problem. You aren't using any other scripts are you?

I have no other scripts in the Experimental game, just the Shopoholic one you made.
