Great script, thank you (^^)

 

[::. Rafidelis .::]

Thankz Man^^

 

[Prexus]

I have a couple criticisms about this script.

First being, why is that information even relevant enough to warrant being displayed on the screen? Can you name any typical RPG that required that information to be known, short of a game like Legend of Zelda (not an RPG) where tools were a major part of the game and limited controller input forced them to be swapped out often? Even in an action battle system, it is pointless. You know what you are equipped with, and if not, checking a menu is only a click or so away and for the most part ABSes will pause to let you manipulate your menu.

Secondly, why did you not just use script to let one image be repeated for all the boxes, rather than have one image for all of the boxes? (And for that matter, why are the boxes 4x the size of the icon inside them?) If you're going to use the "every box can have its own individual text!" reason, read section 3:

Thirdly, you should use script to write the text in the boxes. Its just good coding practice. Unless the text needs to be manipulated in a way that only an image can (and Bitmaps and the .blt method alleviate that issue entirely); it is pointless. You could argue that it is so you can have text with awesome photoshop effects and in weird directions, but you'd be wrong. Because that is a bad idea, because having sideways text makes it difficult to read and ugly in general.

From a scripting perspective, it is good practice to use English for variable names. The majority of the Japanese and German scripts floating around this and other RM communities do this. You are using too many constants. For the background image/filename, you could simply have one variable that if set to a string value, parses it into an image, and if set to 'nil' or 'false' could not parse an image at all. If you think about it from a logical standpoint, when USAR_IMG is set to false, IMG_NOME is a pointless constant that should never have or need a value.

The first five constants could be combined into one Hash.

USE_SLOTS = {
  'Weapon1' = true,
  'Weapon2' = false,
  'Armor' = true,
  'Helmet' = true,
  'Accessory' = false
}

TIPO shouldn't be set to a literal integer value. If you're using this area to define options for the end-user, you should provide constants for them. In your case, something like:

# DO NOT CHANGE THESE VALUES
TOPLEFT_HORZ, TOPLEFT_VERT, BOTTOMLEFT = 1, 2, 3

would be good, although you are offering options but limiting.

You should adjust your script to allow any corner of the screen, and any orientation. Something like this:

# DO NOT CHANGE THESE VALUES
TOPLEFT, TOPCENTER, TOPRIGHT = 1, 2, 3
BOTTOMLEFT, BOTTOMCENTER, BOTTOMRIGHT = 4, 5, 6
VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL = 1, 2

# Set these values to determine the position (on screen) and the orientation (vertical/horizontal) of the HUD
POSITION = value # TOPLEFT, TOPRIGHT, BOTTOMLEFT, BOTTOMRIGHT, TOPCENTER, BOTTOMCENTER
ORIENTATION = value # VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL

And use your code to parse the locations and set it according.

Other than that, read the first part about how I think this is useless information.

First I want to thank you Prexus, the evaluations and criticisms about my script, with some certainty that assessment on my script (I have only 6) I am still half in RGSS noob, so sorry for this bunch of error that you mentioned.

Then, I create a lot of appearing to try to ease the life of the user's script, but by what I saw just exaggerating and I think the script became polluted.
And how about rotating the image depending on the type, I ate more I tried noob as I said, and therefore can not make the texts rotate according to the type selected.

I can not use hachem well, more after this explanation that you gave me, opened my mind.

And really, the variable IMG_NOME is really inútel when USAR_IMG is true x.x

Look, I really love your opinion and criticism about my script, I became his fan, I ate behind some of his scripts for me to study them ^ ^

Thank you PRexus Again!

NOTE: I apologize if my English is very bad, because I am Brazilian xD

² NOTE: Prexus, if you can rewrite this script for an simplest way for me to study would be eternally grateful ^ ^


Thankzz MAnnn!!
