I'm stumped.

[shiroun]

I've been working on this for awhile, and one portion has me stumped.

In Hero Rental (a game I'm scripting for, link found in my signature - Userbar) I was making a bunch of Extras. One of them was a script that would allow for a unique experiance. (no not THAT experiance)

You can change the text background.

However, whenever I tried it, it didn't work.

First off, I created the portion in the title menu.
This isn't a problem, so i believe.

Spoiler: The menu creation part

s1 = "Begin a Journey"
s2 = "Continue Your Quest"
s3 = "Extras"
s4 = "End Game"
@command_window = Window_Command.new(215, [s1, s2, s3, s4])
@command_window.back_opacity = 0
@command_window.x = 150 - @command_window.width / 2
@command_window.y = 200

I have a lot of coding in it, but that is the main portion, i have all the loading and stuff, it works.

However, the problem comes in this part of the extras section, it bumps me to a whole new game, without changing it. I know I am probably using the wrong coding, if i am, can you tell me what i should use?

Spoiler: The problem part

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Command: Extras
#==========================================================================
def command_extras(nosound = false)
x5 = "Blue"
x6 = "Red"
@command_window = Window_Command.new(150, [x5, x6])
x5 = @windowskin_name = $Blue01
x6 = @windowskin_name = $Red01
return
end
# Update game screen
Graphics.update
# Update input information
Input.update
end

Any ideas?

All right I have good news and bad news. The good news is that it works on mine with that exact code. Bad news that doesn't help you at all. The only thing I can think of is a script installation error. So here it is the whole shebang.

You'll need to change those class variables @Red01, @Blue01 to whatever those windowskins that you use it. Can anyone else try this as well to make sure it works all right?

It works, thank you very much!

Of course let me have a look. First put the code in code tags.

Otherwise

  alias_method :old_main, :main

Becomes
alias_method ld_main, :main <- Notice the smiley face?

Plus it will retain the tabbing. Its all at the same indentation right now. I'll update and edit when its done.

[edit1]
Do you really want there to be a separate window to display a few more choices? Can we not for simplicity's sake keep them all in one window? 4 is only the max when using events :P

[edit2]
Alright I added the most important thing I believe this needed. Extensibility. And to make SephirothSpawn happy I'm using a hash to do this. I'm assuming order wasn't a super important detail to you but if it is just let me know and it'll become two arrays instead. So anyway back to the extensibility. To add another custom skin. Look in the top of the Scene_Title:

WINDOW_SKINS = 
  { 
    'Metal' => 'Special1.png',
    'Red01' => 'Red_Windowskin.png',
    'Blue01' => 'Blue_windowskin.png',
    'Green01' => '004-Green01.png',
    'Mystic' => 'wskin_e.png'
  }

To add to this put a comma at the end of the last element and follow the pattern of the above items and voila your new skin will appear in the window skin list. Now it probably won't be in the order it appears in the hash but you won't have to change any other code. So here for your coding pleasure:

Before you make any other changes or have ideas about changes let me know so I can help you through it.

Good luck with your game shiroun! :thumb:

 

[shiroun]

Thanks khmp. It took me a minute to figure out how to work the system you gave me.


I only have 1 problem. It only updates certain parts of the game. It may be my fault, so i'll check it

 

[khmp]

Updates some parts of the game? The windowskin?

 

[kyonides]

mmm, that was a very interesting idea... how could I do the same inside the game? I mean, how could I do the same thing whle the scene menu is being displayed?

 

[shiroun]

I mean that, thing like name input processing are the only things the new windowskin works on. The rest uses default.
