IN-Depth Scenes&Windows for you(Includes CMS)

[PhotonWeapon]

This is pretty dang nice, and in-depth. I still have some learning to do when it comes to custom windows, so this will help nicely.

Excellent, I honestly don't know anything about scripts, this helped me out a lot! Thank you, and I hope you finish this soon!

 

[Mr.Mo]

Your welcome, and thanx. I don't have time to finish this anymore, sorry.

 

[Jason]

Damn you Mr.Mo !!!!!! This was awesome, it helped alot with making a CMS, You've gotta carry it on ! Don't give up on it !

 

[Mr.Mo]

thanks but no thanks. This should atleast help you guys start and get used to other tutorials. I don't have time for this anymore. i have Netplay Plus and some other projects to finish.

 

[Mac]

Awww this is a shame actually...but as you said you have bigger priorities. When i have some open time i will try and finish the last bits off, if thats alright with you Mr. Mo

 

[Mr.Mo]

I've had a problem for awhile, maybe you can help with it. Say I make a window that has a width of 100 and a height of 100, giving it an 1000 pixel area. I want to be able to draw something in every single pixel without the window cutting off the contents. Even if i take off the "- 32" when creating the Bitmap it still does it.

 

[Mac]

100 x 100 = 10,000 not 1000 :p

You will need to do something with the Window Class...if you try and just change the bitmap in the window it will cause problems.

 

[nellshini]

Whoops, left off a 0... Hmm, I'd rather not change the whole window class since it's a super class of a lot of things, so I'll just try and tighten everything to fit. Maybe later when I'm brave I'll play around with it

 

[Mr.Mo]

use the Hidden Window class Sewlyn made. Search the forum.

 

[nellshini]

Thanks for pointing that out. That's definitely something I'll test out when I get the time later tonight

I have got one problem. When calling my scene I replace
$scene = Scene_Item.new in Scene_Menu line 128 with
$scene = Scene_ShowWindow.new as you written in your tutorial. When I choose item in the menu, this error appears :

Script 'Scene_ShowWindow' line 27: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method `update` for MyCustomWindow:Class

What can be wrong? :-(

 

[Chaosg1]

there is a no method called update for your Scene, create a method called update. like

def update
#Whatever you want to update
end

 

[Songee]

Look how my script looks like:
First script:

class Window_Options < Window_Base
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Object Initialization
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize
super(50, 50, 320, 240)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
refresh
end

def refresh
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.font.size = 20
cx = contents.text_size("Options").width
self.contents.draw_text(20, 20, cx, 32, "Options")
end

def update
@window.update
end
end


Second script:

#==============================================================================
# * Scene_Options
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Options
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Main Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main
@window = Window_Options
Graphics.transition
loop do
Graphics.update
Input.update
if $scene != nil
update
break
end
end
Graphics.freeze
@window.dispose
end
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Frame Update
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def update
@window.update
end
end

In Scene_Options is update method, but the same error appears.

 

[Songee]

Oh, I found the error! It was quite spastic.. But thank you for trying to help me anyway.

Mr. Mo is mah hero. I loveeee your ABS, and I'm currently trying to use this to make a quest screen. It's going... uhm... great. XD

 

[Mr.Mo]

There is an error in the tutorial :p..

If your script doesn't have main or initialize, it won't crash, since class Object has initialize .

Other than that..wow I used to write quite odd. I'm glad people like it still though.

I'll finish it up one of these days

 

[Ioto]

I'm having a bit of an issue. An error actually.
You see, I AM new to all this, so its probably something logical I'm overseeing.
But I tried few things and nothing happend, I was wondering if you guys could look at it.
Thanks in advance.

PS: I changed the line 128, so thats not it.

MyCustomWindow

Spoiler

class MyCustomWindow < Window_Base

def initialize
  super(100, 100, 200, 200)
  self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32,  height - 32)
  refresh
end

def refresh
  self.contents.clear
  self.contents.font.color = normal_color
  self.contents.font.size = 20
  cx = contents.text_size("test").width
  self.contents.draw_text(50, 50, cx, 32, "test")
end

end

Scene_ShowWindow

Spoiler

class Scene_ShowWindow

def main
  MyCustomWindow.new
  Graphics.transition
  loop do
  Graphics.update

  end
  Graphics.freeze
  @window.dispose
end

def update

end
