Final Fantasy IX Custom Menu Options

[BigEd781]

UPDATE

➮ Fixed a bug with the icons that are displayed when a player has a status effect. The icons will replace the class name.
➮ Added captions to the main menu windows.

@Lockheart: Here is your script. Remember though that upgrading wil now be more difficult. The methods that are different are the "refresh" and "draw_background_window" methods. I left the original code commented out so that you can do your own patches.

Awesome, thanks BigEd. as for the patching, just more reason to learn the scripting code, aye?

[BigEd781]

OK, another UPDATE

➮ Added a new cursor display when all party members are selected.
➮ Added new config option which allows you to use a cursor which does not animate.
➮ added new config option which allows you choose how many background panels are drawn when the party is not full.

@Lockheart: I added that last one out of pity for you

That one doesnt seem to work for me ( I take it you updated the first post with this update?) )

When I select Heal in the Magic menu and go from the 3rd to the 4th player or from the 1st back to the fourth (basically, once you want to go to the fourth player) the game crashes and takes you to the following part:

CODE

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * draw_arrow_sprites
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_arrow_sprites(sprites, animated=true)
    for sprite in sprites          
      image_x = animated ? @sprite_last_draw_x + @sprite_inc_x : 0
      @sprite_last_draw_x = image_x      
      sprite.bitmap.blt(image_x, 0, @arrow_image, @arrow_image.rect)
    end
  end

With the following line in particular:

CODE

sprite.bitmap.blt(image_x, 0, @arrow_image, @arrow_image.rect)

Any idea what it could be?

Lockheart's update script does work though.

Ahh, shit, I forgot to fix that. I'll post an update tomorrow.

No worries, mate. It's fixable.

Man I love this menu. Love the new command window names on top of the windows. Maybe could you add one above the commands named "Commands" or something.

[wortana]

[Show/Hide] Open me if you dare

You are a hero w00t

Apart from the MOG menu which I cant seem to use right now I say this is an awsome script 10/10 keep up the great work

[BigEd781]

UPDATE
➮ Fixed a bug introduced by my last update when you selected the fourth character in the party. (thanks N2Y).

N2Y: If you would like to add a caption to the command window, find this part of the script under "Scene_Menu":

CODE

def create_command_window
    s1 = Vocab::item
    s2 = Vocab::skill
    s3 = Vocab::equip
    s4 = Vocab::status
    s5 = Vocab::save

I put a comment next to the only line that I added.

OK, another UPDATE

➮ Added a new cursor display when all party members are selected.
➮ Added new config option which allows you to use a cursor which does not animate.
➮ added new config option which allows you choose how many background panels are drawn when the party is not full.

@Lockheart: I added that last one out of pity for you

Totally awesome, thank you very much for that.

There is a Clash between this script and the crafting script to. here is the link to the crafting script http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....9&hl=actors

And again, this method is the problem:

CODE

alias oldCmdWindow create_command_window
  def create_command_window
    s1 = Vocab::item
    s2 = Vocab::skill
    s3 = Vocab::equip
    s4 = Vocab::status
    s5 = Vocab::crafting
    s6 = Vocab::save
    s7 = Vocab::game_end
    @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7])
    @command_window.index = @menu_index
    if $game_party.members.size == 0          # If number of party members is 0
      @command_window.draw_item(0, false)     # Disable item
      @command_window.draw_item(1, false)     # Disable skill
      @command_window.draw_item(2, false)     # Disable equipment
      @command_window.draw_item(3, false)     # Disable status
    end
    if $game_system.save_disabled             # If save is forbidden
      @command_window.draw_item(4, false)     # Disable save
    end
  end

You need to merge mine with his. I need to come up with a way to avoid using this function, but until then, you can just add what's different in mine to theirs.

[Stoltz]

Oh ok Thanks found out one more thing i had to change so now i can enter without a debug msg coming up.
Now i just have to figure out why i get into save when i press crafting .. hehe well Thanks again =) will try to figure that thing out myself

[BigEd781]

There is another function that deals with input. My script does not modify that, so some other script must be doing it.

[Stoltz]

okok Thanks alot, will try and fix it myself still a newbie but im learning =)


I figured it out Thanks again

Thanks for your help BigEd, it does work what you do. I tried it out in a new project.

However in my original project, first I simply deleted the menu part, because it was in conflict with the Custom Commands script, only put on the commands you wrote down in the menu (Item, Skill, Status, Equip, Save, Game End). It all worked fine when I deleted that menu part in Scene_Menu (FF9 Menu script)

However with this updated script, my menu gets positioned on the wrong side (left side, over the character status windows)
I already tried to use your advice and put them in manually in the FF9 menu script too, but then when I exit the commands, an error with Windows_Selectable pops up. And the menu does not get positioned on the right side either, so it's useless...

I'm afraid I can't use this script anymore.

Any chance you still ahve the previous version somewhere?

[BigEd781]

No, the problem is not the version. It is a very simple conflict. If you post your conflicting script I will fix it for you.

[N2Y]

I'm afraid I can't give a specific conflicting script. It has to do with all the scripts like 'Bestiary', 'Junction', 'Summon', etc. All those scripts are placed within the menu using the Custom Commands script, which enables you to add commands to the menu in the specific scripts itself.

Everytime it crashes the moment I return to the menu from one of the custom commands. The script system takes me to Window_Selectable with...

CODE

    if @index < 0                   # If the cursor position is less than 0
      self.cursor_rect.empty        # Empty cursor

...specifically on line 213-214

Luckily though, I did make a copy of my project and found an older version of your script, so I can use that instead. Unfortunately, it means the nice "COMMANDS", "TIME & G" and "LOCATION" text above the windows are gone.

Sacrifices need to be made.

(I just delete the s1 = Vocab::Item, etc etc ) part in the Scene_Menu you created, like I said before. This way, there's no conflict whatsoever. The only problem is the texts missing I named above)

Thanks for your help anyways.

[BigEd781]

If you could upload your entire project for me I will fix it. who knows, it may point out a weakness in my script that I can improve upon.

[Nevfx]

Another brilliant script. This and the FF9 Style save screen script of yours have made my game just look so much better.

UPDATES

Added a new KGC_LargeParty patch. This time as a text fle because all of the unicode characters in the script cause problems. This works, so if you still experience problems it is being caused by another script. Make sure to place the KGC script below mine in the script editor.
