Oh MY god!!! thank you so freakin MUCH!!! You have no clue how that thing was bothering me. It was alll up in my way, lol.
now If you could make a quick addon that shrinks the help window a little bit, lol. Mines at the top of the screen, from one end to the other. I don't think it needs to be that wide, lol. So I was wondering if you could just make an addon to to allow me to resize, and maybe move?
Also, I saw you did a change the background script, is there a way to do that iwth Battle menus too? Like make the item and skill menu have an image background or something like that??
For the past couple of months I've been learning RGSS and I've got the basic stuff down such windows, variables, conditional statements, ect. But, I can't see myself making big scripts such as a jumping system or a side view battle system. I was wondering how you learned to script because I really want to know how to script really well.
Thanks in advance.
Hey there,
Well I don't make battle neither though I can still teach you some things :)... The way I've learned to script is by reading other scripts for the most part. I've allways been interested in other peoples work but this time I though I had to try to make something myself...and it worked!! The most importand thing when you go scripting is (at least in my case) that you want to make something to help an other wich can't script. You also need to feel the competition that's around in the scripting-community. Cause, I have to say, if you get pushed to get a sertain request done before an other scripter does, you feel POWERFULL!! :P So that's an other thing... You also don't need to be afraid to learn from others or helpfiles. When I write my scripts, I actualy always have the helpfiles open to look things up I don't know or remember. Then, you must be calm, cause you need to try the script a lot of times. When I write a script, I test it after almost every changes. First I set up the major structure. Like when I make a window-script or part of a script I start with something like this:
CODE
class Window_Name < Window_Base def initialize(x,y,width,height) super(x,y,width,height) refresh end
def refresh self.contents.clear draw_contents end
def draw_contents draw_something(with, some, parameters) end
def update refresh if @something != @what_it_should_be end end
So that's also very important. Then, the biggest thing I learned scripting from is TRIAL AND ERROR. That's the most irritating way to learn something, cause it's more ERROR than TRIAL, but it does the trick realy good.
So that's it how I did it. Now it's up to you. Do some requests (if I didn't do it allready :P) and learn from them.
Hope that helped you out a little. If not, keep your eye on the Scriptology-topic (see my sig) where I'll be updating for my scripting(video)tutorials. Perhaps they're going to be usefull for you one day ;)

this is going to sound so noobish, which is weird... But where should I place this? I set it in this script and at the end, and didn't work, then by itself and nothing...
I figured out I had to change the beastirary's help window then found the real one under it, but I can't change it, lol. Oh well.... Maybe it's the battle system...
Whoops has been a long time and my email-service droped.
Anyways, so... I might even redo this script...though I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. Perhaps I'd better make a tutorial on how to find and change parts of scripts to make it useable for yourself. Keep an eye on the Scriptology vids on youtube [link] to see if it's done allready.

Sorry I know this post is old but I wanted to use this script with the abs so I tinkered around with it until I figured it out. All I ended up doing was changing:
Games
Resources
RPG Maker VX
RPG Maker XP
Scripts
Tutorials
Downloads
Battle Skill/Item Resize, A smaller and better looking way of skill- and itemdisplay in battle.
