Change position of Gold sign

[Jonathan]

I asked this ages ago, but i can't find my post...
Nevertheless, i will keep pressing on.

Hi. In window_gold (i guess) what would you have to add/take away for the Gold sign to be before the amount of Gold, i.e. G 6789 instead of 6789 G.
The reason i ask is because i want to use ? as the symbol, and having it after the numbers looks a bit weird.

EDIT
O.K i've figured out how to do that ( i fiddled around with the variables a bit (haven't really got a clue how i did it... like this

def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    cx = contents.text_size($data_system.words.gold).width
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    self.contents.draw_text(-40, 0, 115-cx-2, 32, $data_system.words.gold, 2)
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(-40, 0, 177-cx-2, 32, $game_party.gold.to_s, 2)
  end

, but the Gold sign stays in the same place the whole time, regardless of what value you have. Is there any way that the Gold could always stay, say 20 or 30 pixels before the first number, regardless of what amount of money you have (whether it is ?1 or ?22303) so, it wouldn't be like this ? 1 or 3232?234234 as in it overtakes the pound sign.



I hope that made sense... lol

cheers

Hi, i am not a great scripter but i will try to help.

In window_gold find the line

self.contents.draw_text(124-cx, 0, cx, 32, $data_system.words.gold, 2)

try to change the value 124-cx to somthing like 20-cx

Nevermind about my above edit (unless someone can do it!!). Lazarus, your idea worked fine, thanks

You think you're a bad lawyer, did you see what i tried to do... lol

thanks again

class Window_Gold < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Object Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
    super(0, 0, 160, 64)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    refresh
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    cx = contents.text_size($data_system.words.gold).width
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    [b]self.contents.draw_text(4, 0, 120-cx-2, 32, $game_party.gold.to_s, 2)[/b]
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    [b]self.contents.draw_text(124-cx, 0, cx, 32, $data_system.words.gold, 2)[/b]
  end
end

In the above example, I've bolded the lines of interest. These are what draw the text in the window.

Not sure exactly how you want it on the left side, so I present two options
Option 1: Symbol is always left aligned ($_____1000)

def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    cx = contents.text_size($data_system.words.gold).width
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(cx, 0, 120-cx-2, 32, $game_party.gold.to_s, 2)
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, cx, 32, $data_system.words.gold, 2)
  end

Option 2: Symbol is always just to the left of the amount (_____$1000)

def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    cx = contents.text_size($data_system.words.gold).width
    gx = contents.text_size($game_party.gold.to_s).width
    self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    self.contents.draw_text(cx, 0, 124-cx-2, 32, $game_party.gold.to_s, 2)
    self.contents.font.color = system_color
    self.contents.draw_text(124-cx-gx-[b]2[/b], 0, cx, 32, $data_system.words.gold, 2)
  end

Change the bolded part if you want more space between the symbol and the amount.

[Edit]I'm so slow ^^; That's what I get for testing it first. Well, at least, Option 2 should be of some use to you? you might want to increase the bolded part. Right now, the symbol is only about 2 pixels to the left of the money on hand.
