Law's Custom Menu Screen, A whole new menu interface. Options

[The Law G14]

Hey, thanks Zeff!

If you find any errors, please tell me

[nighthawk282]

Law, my friend, it's good to see you're getting such excellent feedback. This menu may be just what I was looking for. Yes, I'm using RMXP now. Hopefully I'll be able to do this script justice. Excellent job.

[The Law G14]

Cool, that's nice to here that you're using rmxp now

If you find any problems wiht my script, please tell me

[Zeffa]

Right, I've got a bit of an error.

It says:
Script 'Custom_Menu' line114: TypeError Occurred.
undefined superlass 'window_base'

Here is my line 114:
class Window_Location < Window_Base

I tried popping a '>' in at the end of Window_Base, but that didn't seem to work.

I've not really messed with the Scripting part of RMXP before so I'm not sure how the code is supposed to look.
Whats wrong this line Law?

Thanks! x

[The Law G14]

Hm, it would seem that you have another script interfering with the Window_Base class. Do you happen to have any other custom scripts?

[Zeffa]

No this was my first Custom Script. I've since tried the Bestiary and HP/SP image scripts but the custom menu was the first.

[The Law G14]

First of all, copy the script into a blank rmxp proect and see if it works. If that doesn't help, change line 114 to line 137 with this:

CODE

class Window_Location < Window_Base
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias law_init initialize
  def initialize
    law_init
    super(0, 0, 160, 96)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
  end
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  alias law_ref refresh
  def refresh
    law_ref
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, 120, 32, "Location")
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(4, 32, 120, 32, $game_map.name, 2)
  end
end

Hi Law... great scrip'!
But whenever I try to load it, it can't find my mapXYZ.rxdata file where my starting position is...
If you could help me out that'd be fantastic!

[The Law G14]

Hey thatbennyguy, glad you like my script

However, I'm not too sure what you mean by this:

But whenever I try to load it, it can't find my mapXYZ.rxdata file

When you say that you're trying to load it, do you mean load your game, or put in my script?

[Zeffa]

Hmmm...

Sorry to be a pain in the arse but it's working-ish. I just tried it all again after testing it on a blank project and... Voila! It worked.
So yeah, it looks all nice.

But then... When I run my game, I get another error.
This time it is because I have the Save option in the main menu disabled. This seems to be conflicting with the script.

The error:
line234: NoMethodError Occurred
undefined method 'disable_item' for
#<Window_Command_New:0x2c03600>

Here are my lines (234 in bold):
# If save is forbidden
if $game_system.save_disabled
# Disable save
@command_window.disable_item(4)
end

Again... Not sure how the script should look here.

Also, I have a quick question for you.

If I wanted to keep the same actor but change their face image in the menu through out the game, how would I go about this?

Would I have to call upon the script to change which image it reads...?
Or is there a way to do this using events?

Thanks again, it looks all sassy. x

Yeah, I've been getting that error also but I just deleted those lines since they seemed to be useless but then I realized that the save option in the menu isn't grey anymore when you disabled it, so I've finally found out how to fix it

After line 452 of my script, add these couple of lines:

CODE

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Disable Item
  #     index : item number
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def disable_item(index)
    draw_item(index, disabled_color)
  end

Now you should be set

Would I have to call upon the script to change which image it reads...?
Or is there a way to do this using events?

One way you could do this is by making several actors in the database that are the same character. Then when you want to change the face of the actor, use the 'change actor graphic' event command and then click actor and choose the new actor. This will not change how your character will look since all the actors in the actors tab of the database are the same character. But, when you set it to the different actor, the face graphic would be changed since it went to a different actor.

Hope I explained that okay

[Zeffa]

Cheers mate, that is awesome!

Yeah you explained the bottom part sound. Will give this a try.

>> Yep it's all working fine! Thanks again!

Great, glad it all worked out

Please post back if you have anymore questions!

[coinology]

Hey Law,

I really like your script and the layout of the menu is excellent. Except one little request I have. I recently found Amaranth's 'Super Simple Journal Script' and the idea of this journal used to keep track of quest entries is also something I really would like to use. The problem is that when these 2 scripts are combined (working together) get an error code on line 283 @location_window.update so I up'd the number of instances (items, steps, etc..) from 5 to 6 and it still error'd. So I deleted that line and it seems to work fine. But the location ability obviously doesn't work now. If you could please assist me with this I would appreciate this.


Thanks for reading this.

[coinology]

Sorry bout that, I got side tracked.

The journal script is this;

CODE

#======================================================================
========
# ** Journal
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This window displays a journal.
#==============================================================================

class Window_Journal < Window_Selectable
# ------------------------
def initialize
super(0, 32, 460, 330)
@column_max = 1
refresh
self.index = 0
end


#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw the contents of the item window
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def refresh
if self.contents != nil
self.contents.dispose
self.contents = nil
end

# variables
@journal_height = (2)*32 # y coord of entire journal (# of entries - 1) * 32
@n = 0 # y coord for each entry
@item_max = 0 # max items to dispaly

# draw the bitmap. the text will appear on this bitmap
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height+@journal_height)

# populate your journal with entries. Each entry must match its switch number!
@data = []
@data[1] = "Task 1"
@data[2] = "Task 2"
@data[3] = "Task 3"

for i in 1..3
if $game_switches[i] == true
draw_item(i)
@item_max += 1
end
end

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw an individual item in the window
# index : Index of the item to be drawn
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

def draw_item(index)
item = @data[index]
rect = Rect.new(10, @n, 640, 32)
self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0,0,0,0))
self.contents.draw_text(10, @n, 640, 32, "●", 0)
self.contents.draw_text(25, @n, 640, 32, item, 0)
@n += 32

end

end

Thanx

[coinology]

Sorry Law but when I put those newly edited scripts in it now gives me an error of

Script 'Window_Journal' Line 150: SystemStackError occured. Stack level too deep.

That error is given as soon as the game is opened. Not just when I try to open the Menu.

Any Ideas???

[The Law G14]

First of all, make sure the journal script is below my menu script, also are you using any other scripts?

[Yusshin]

Sorry to bump, but...

Where does this go? Does it need a specific name?

I tried to put this script in and it didn't change nei my current saves or new games;

also, does this work with your other scripts:

http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....t=0&start=0

http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=35665

?

My current scripts are SDK, RGSS.Map, RGSS.Window.Movable, Map Name HUD < all of these basically allow me to have a pop-up displaying the name of the map(s) I walk onto.

I also have Window_Message to allow facesets to be displayed.

[The Law G14]

It should be under all your custom scripts (Including the SDK) and yes, it is compatible with my equipment screen and skill screen. Also, it's supposed to be changing the screen that opens once you open up the menu. And thanks for using my scripts
