[A] CMS Layout Request

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Menu Mock Image

This is my mock menu. I can't remember the font name (sorry, it's an old image) but anything remotely similar will do nicely. Here's all I ask for:

- The basic layout of that image, except move the whole image area up by about 48 pixels, because I plan to have some 32x32 icons along the bottom. Don't worry about those, that I will learn later.

- The command menu working, with an arrow (similar to the one pointing at "Command List" in the main window.

- Only the Status, Item, and Save/Load functions need to be working properly. Ignore all of the "+99xp" and whatever. That was from an older idea.

- When in the status menu the cursor should move between Command List, Ability List, and Magic List. When the cursor is over command list, whether or not you pressed enter, it should update the contents of the little window. Don't worry about the actual contents, again that is something I will deal with later. Just make a window script for each one with the names.

- The picture in the background is the current characters battler. You can tint and use transparencies until it looks good.

- The window that says status should say which of the commands on the leftmost menu you clicked only after you are in that menu. The main menu should not disappear, the contents of the main windows should just change when a command is selected. When you hit esc you should go back to the main menu commands without closing the window you are in.

- Oh, and be sure to comment like crazy, I'm trying to use this to learn off of, and I plan to expand upon it once it is done, so the more I understand it the better.

That's more than I thought it would be, I'm sorry, but I still don't think it should be too hard. It looks pretty similar to the default menu, though the theme is a bit darker. If I'm asking for too much then that's fine, but if anyone is willing to do this for me, than thank you very much, it means a lot to me! The alternative is if someone would like to coach me through doing this on AIM or MSN or any other messenger, my AIM is FFJP RPGf and I will give you my MSN if you use that instead. Again, thank you!

Bump?

 

[Italianstal1ion]

I will try to do this...give me a couple days or so and I will have something for you
[edit] few questions:
You have Defense and Mind as stats(?) Is Dexterity = Mind? and Phys Def = Defense? (if you understand what I am asking)
Are those arrows at the bottom of the window for going to another actors window, or do you want just a one person CMS?

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

I believe Dexterity is defense, and Mind is intelligence, assuming the stats in RMXP do what I think they do. And yes, you're right on about those arrows, they switch between party members.

 

[DerVVulfman]

I can't remember the font name (sorry, it's an old image) but anything remotely similar will do nicely.

Possible matching font for the 'Conan' styled old world lettering: UNCIAL

FYI

 

[Italianstal1ion]

Ok, do you want to switch party members with Q and W?

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Yeah, Q and W for switching the character status.

 

[Italianstal1ion]

Hmm, well I have almost got it all done, but I cant seem to figure out how to switch windows using Q and W
Other than that it works good, I will finish it by tonight.

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Okay, sweet. Umm they use Q and L to switch in the default system, I believe the inputs are labeled L and R though.

 

[Italianstal1ion]

Yeah I know I got that down. But the thing is when you go to choose your character, for example to equip, you go choose a specific one (obviously). Well, in this CMS the whole window is ONE actor, and I can't figure out how to make it so if you press L and R it will switch windows to another actor.

Of course you can still press L and R in the equip menu to switch between characters.

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Okay, well you know how I talked about having some icons along the bottom of the menu? What if I had the character sprites of everyone in your party along the bottom, so that when you go to that section it goes to select one of the sprites and opens up that page.

 

[Italianstal1ion]

Hmm, yeah I'm pretty sure I can do that. *goes to work on it*

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Wow I thought I replied to this, guess it didn't work. Anyway, I mentioned some icons I was going to put along the bottom... how about displaying the actors' sprites in the bottom right and when you select status or equip you can move between them.

 

[Italianstal1ion]

OK, I have the window already, it is nearly done...Just need to figure out how to update window contents :/ or wait you want that for status too? Do you want a completely different choice for Command List, Magic list then?

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Nah, it should be good however you do it. If I understand enough of what you coded I can probably tweak it if I change my mind later. Sorry for the confusion, I bookmarked the first page of this and didn't realize it had reached a second page, so now I feel like an idiot for double posting like that. Anyway, I'm just anxious to see what you're got :P

 

[Italianstal1ion]

OK I got it done! Sorry it took so long :-/ Would've posted it earlier today, but my internet jacked up...anyway here it is!
I tried to comment as much as I could, I hope you can understand all of it :thumb:

First, replace Scene_Menu with this:

And heres what it looks like:

Hope you like it!:thumb:

(if you want any changes made just say so!)

 

[FatFreeJelloPimp]

Well, it looks great, thanks a lot! I just have a few changes, if you wouldn't mind.

Is there any way you can make the Play Time and Gold part of the command list (or at least appear to be)? Can you make the window where the character sprites are invisible so that it's not there? And lastly, could you get rid of the box that highlights your selection, I was planning on replacing that with the cursor, not adding the cursor.

It looks wonder, and I think you for that. If you can't or don't want to implement any of these changes than don't worry about it, but if you're willing to than thank you even more, and don't worry about how long it takes.

 

[Italianstal1ion]

Hmm, I ran into trouble making the command window be part of the gold and time, but I will try again As for the rest, I guess I just forgot to get rid of the box...

might as well edit this post:

As for eliminating the selection "rectangle" The only solution I have for that is remove the rectangle from the windowskin, which is the little part with the "1"

Unfortunately(or fortunately) this removes the rectangle from every selection window.

Hope you like it! :thumb:
