Version: 1.1
Author: Leongon
Release: June 16 2010
Last Actualization: July 18 2010
Exclusive: at RPG RPG Revolution
Requires: Your country at the top of the group table on South Africa's 2010 soccer world cup.


Introduction
This is a really small and nice one. Item Quality Colors replicates the colouring of item's names used in most actual MMORPGs to ease the quality or element affinity noticing for the players.




Features
- Easy setting of many different quality colors in the script configuration area.
- Set each item, armor and weapon's quality adding a simple tag in their notefield, with the quality name you set.
- Also can be used in skills, to colourize them by element affinity or something.


Further Instructions and configuration on script header.

Customization
Change, add or remove many qualities as you want for all 32 colors in the script's configuration area, then add the proper tags with your quality names in the item, weapon, armor and skill's noteboxes.

For example: First you assign the key "awesome" to color 22 in the script, then you go to the notefield of the item, armor, weapon or skill you want with that color, and write <IQC awesome> on it.

Compatibility
Rewrites draw_item_name on Window_Base class, so if you have other scripts handling item display you can get issues. Try putting this one above.

Haha. Reminds me of you-know-what. I will likely use this, with credit, of course. Thanks for the script.

I-don'tknow-what hahaha

What you refer to?

I was referring to World of Warcraft. I assumed that is where you got the idea of White/Green/Blue/Purple. But still, nice script.

To tell the thuth, I'm developing a game based in Warcraft universe, so I made this one and the states details, to be environment stuff familiar to it.

Ah, well good luck! Lemme know when it's finished.

v1.01 Note reader compatibility for my other scripts.

wow! nice, and its gona be something like for WoW.

is this compatible with custom message systems? KGC equip scene?
are you gona make like an equip upgrade script?equip durability?

Is compatible with everything but other scripts that change item, armor and weapon base display.

KGC equip scene... I don't know that :B

About next scripts, mm well, I make scripts when I got an idea and got to think of a way that my actual capabilities can make it work.

Great script idea keep up the good work.

one of Yanfly's YERD Scripts does this function also, but you can choose what colors to make the words. Your not limited to a set number of colors.

I just defaulted 5 qualities in the script, you can add 27 more.

You have all the 32 text colors of your Windows.png disponible. Anyway, a limited number of colors is a help on keeping standard your game visual aspects.

Also don't forget oranges But nice WoW Reference there.

New version 1.1
Now has better compatibility, and also work with skills.

Give color to your world!

is it possible you can add a function of the script to add the text too with the color? for example, IQC uncommon in the pic above, the name Great Axe [Uncommon] will be displayed instead with the text [Uncommon] as green. i need that block in one of my scripts.

Hi

I don't have RPG Maker VX anymore, so I can't test it... but try replacing the whole class Window_Base on my script with this:



That should do what you want, if I'm correct.

here's what i did and it doesnt work. where did i go wrong?

Just replace all the class with the one i gave you... is strange to see you asking what you did wrong if is clearly that what i edited for you is different from what you're showing now.

wow it works! nice. yeah i just placed what you originally made. real cool thanks!

This is some genuine great stuff, respect.

@new: Nice, I'm glad it worked. Was a bit scared I forgot VX scripting xD
@Athrun77: Thanks dude.

Yeah, something like the Diablo III.

So, in my forum, someone has already made it, but it isn't perfect at all.( He made it on 4/19,2009 at all!)

i had this problem where it wouldnt work no matter what i did, and then it turns out i was using IQC epic in the note box,
it took me a while [too long for me] to realized to put <IQC epic> with the < >'s, plus its the first 3rd party script added to my game, and was easy to install, a demo would hav been nice, just for reference, but didnt take long to learn to put it in a new column under the "Materials" tab, plus i love all the multiple choices for different rarities.
great script! i will enjoy adding this to my game. props to u man for making such a simple yet much needed addition.

Glad you like it. Feel free to ask if you have any problems using it, I'm still supporting my scripts here.
