$data_system.words alias

[hanmac]

i need to alias the methods of $data_system.words
(atk, gold, etc...)

how can i make this?

You need to alias the methods of RPG::System::Words

The only methods are the ones inherited from the Object class

Otherwise, the rest are "attributes"  (gold, hp, sp, etc...)
Of course, they have the default methods assigned by the attr_accessor method  (read, write)

So, if you want to overload the gold=(val)  method, you can just create a new one.

Mind if I ask, "why?"  There may be an alternative solution to your problem.

Be Well

i will make something ala multilang.

for this i need ala this:

#pseudo code
if in new_strings
  new
else
  old
end

what is with $data_system.terms? (vx)

and what with:
$data_classes
$data_states
and others?

Ah, now I get it.  Localization.  Cool idea!

How will you let the player determine their language?

I had a thought. For multi-language, you will probably want to change the Title_Screen, GAme_Over screen, and all of the 'words'.
What if you set them all up for english, save your game, then copy System.rxdata to System_EN.rxdata.  then do the same for your next language.

Then, in Scene_Title, where the rxdata files get loaded, you could add logic to load the appropriate rxdata file depending on which language is preferred.

Just a thought.

Of course, there are also a bunch of 'hard-coded' strings that would need to be updated as well.  (Scene_Menu...  "Status", "Save", "End Game")

Now that I think about it, Classes, Skills, Items, Weapons, Armor, Enemies, States will all have names & descriptions that will need to be translated as well. could be an ambitious project....


I don't have VX installed, yet. I would assume 'terms' in VX is the same as 'words' in XP???

All of the $data_*  variables hold the data from your database.
They don't get saved, so they are essentially 'static' data, or Constants.

Be Well

with this: http://abby.rmxp.de/system/files/apd_2.txt

i would include as much as possible

Items, Weapons, Armor, Enemies, (have i )

    L.default = ["en","de"]
    #name

    L["dlp_item_name_1"] = "name of the first item", "Name des ersten Items"
    L["dlp_weapon_name_1"] = "name of the first weapon", "Name der ersten Waffe"

States -> prob with the $data

in ruby you can change Constants xD (Math::PI=3)

probs:
-name of the actor class (i think about a female form xD)
-name of the elements and Stati
