Aligning the menu

[Trance]

Well, I have been trying to do this myself, and to tell the truth, I am quite happy with it. I have just been screwing around with the DBS so it will suit my tastes.

I just finished changing the picture of the character set to the batter of the actor, but I want to line them up. I'm assuming the battler's x/y co-ordinates are on the top left, right? Well... take a look for yourself:

I want to line the cut off of the battlers along the red line.

Help?

EDIT: Damn, just realized this is the wrong forum. Somebody want to move this to RGSS support?

You should use a Viewport. A viewport, simple enough, is like a window.

So, say you want to cut off at the line? Find the X, and create a viewport ^_^

P.S. That looks interesting, if you need a scripter, just PM me :D

We're gonna need to see your window scripts first (for that particular window).

Okay, well this is what I edited...:
Lines 108-114 of "Window_Base".

  def draw_actor_graphic(actor, x, y)
    [COLOR=SeaGreen]#bitmap = RPG::Cache.character(actor.character_name, actor.character_hue)[/COLOR]
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.battler(actor.battler_name, actor.battler_hue)
[COLOR=seagreen]    #cw = bitmap.width / 4
    #ch = bitmap.height / 4[/COLOR]
    cw = bitmap.width
    ch = bitmap.height / 1.27
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
    self.contents.blt(x - cw / 2, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
  end

And lines 23-38 of Window_MenuStatus

  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    @item_max = $game_party.actors.size
    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      x = 64
      y = i * 116
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]

      draw_actor_graphic(actor, x, y+100)

      draw_actor_sp(actor, x + 236, y + 64)
    end
  end

The comments are what it was before it was changed. I just keep it there, in the case I accidently screw myself big time.
