Need help with my custome Game Over script

[StudioBlue]

So not really super-custom, more like additions to the Scene and Update methods:

#==============================================================================

# ** Scene_Gameover

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  This class performs game over screen processing.

#==============================================================================

 

class Scene_Gameover

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Main Processing

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def main

    # Make game over graphic

    @sprite = Sprite.new

    @sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.gameover($data_system.gameover_name)

    # Stop BGM and BGS

    $game_system.bgm_play(nil)

    $game_system.bgs_play(nil)

    # Play game over ME

    $game_system.me_play($data_system.gameover_me)

    # Execute transition

    Graphics.transition(120)

    # Pre-Command Loop

    loop do

      Graphics.update

      Input.update

      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)

        break

      end

    end

    # Make command window

    s1 = "Continue"

    s2 = "Load Game"

    s3 = "Quit"

    @command_window = Window_Command.new(192, [s1, s2, s3])

    @command_window.back_opacity = 160

    @command_window.x = 320 - @command_window.width / 2

    @command_window.y = 288  

    # Main loop

    loop do

      # Update game screen

      Graphics.update

      # Update input information

      Input.update

      # Frame update

      update

      # Abort loop if screen is changed

      if $scene != self

        break

      end

    end

    # Prepare for transition

    Graphics.freeze

    # Dispose of game over graphic

    @sprite.bitmap.dispose

    @sprite.dispose

    # Execute transition

    Graphics.transition(40)

    # Prepare for transition

    Graphics.freeze

    # If battle test

    if $BTEST

      $scene = nil

    end

  end

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Frame Update

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def update

    # Update command window

    @command_window.update

    # If C button was pressed

    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)

      # Branch by command window cursor position

      case @command_window.index

      when 0  # Continue

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

        $scene = Scene_Load.new

      when 1  # Load Game

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

        $scene = Scene_Load.new

      when 2  # Quit to Title

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

        $scene = Scene_Title.new

      end

    end

  end

end

 

Two problems.

First, when I choose "Load Game", the game keeps playing the Gameover ME when the loaded map loads. Is there a way around that?

Second, does anyone know of a good way to 'Continue', where-in the player is restored to a location of MapID, X, and Y, facing down and with the correct music, etc playing? I will store the MapID, X, and Y in three different variables.

Thanks in advance!

You may want to try to call to to turn the sound off before the scene changue.

Also, about your own continue method, i think that works with temporal variables for the defaults scripts, so, you can use the same or something similar. You save in game_temp x, y, map_id, and call scene map.new.

Then in the initialize method, or other, check for that variables and set it. You might want to add a flag variable (or use map id = nil, false...) for that, so you can make normal loading process.

Is there code for that? I'm still green on the references.

Check Game System class, there is the methods that control sound and music.

Okay, so after a lot of hunting, learning, and trial-and-error, I have a good Game Over Script that mimics the way Kingdom Hearts does it:

    $game_system.bgm_play(nil)

    $game_system.bgs_play(nil)

    # Play game over ME

    $game_system.me_play($data_system.gameover_me)

    # Execute transition

    Graphics.transition(120)

    # Pre-Command Loop

    loop do

      Graphics.update

      Input.update

      if Input.trigger?(Input::C)

        break

      end

    end

    # Make command window

    s1 = "Continue"

    s2 = "Load Game"

    s3 = "Quit"

    @command_window = Window_Command.new(192, [s1, s2, s3])

    @command_window.back_opacity = 160

    @command_window.x = 320 - @command_window.width / 2

    @command_window.y = 288  

    # Main loop

    loop do

      # Update game screen

      Graphics.update

      # Update input information

      Input.update

      # Frame update

      # Abort loop if screen is changed

      if $scene != self

        break

      end

    end

    # Prepare for transition

    # Dispose of game over graphic

      $scene = nil

    end

  end

  def update

    # Update command window

    @command_window.update

    # If C button was pressed

    if Input.trigger?(Input::C)

      # Branch by command window cursor position

      case @command_window.index

      when 0  # Continue

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

        for i in 0..$game_party.actors.size - 1

          $game_party.actors[i].hp = ($game_party.actors[i].maxhp)/4

        end

        $game_temp.player_transferring = true

        $game_temp.player_new_map_id = $game_variables[23]

        $game_temp.player_new_x = $game_variables[24]

        $game_temp.player_new_y = $game_variables[25]

        $game_temp.player_new_direction = 2

        Audio.me_stop

        $game_switches[6] = true # Switch for Autoprocess to play proper music

        $scene = Scene_Map.new

        $game_temp.gameover = false

        $game_map.autoplay

      when 1  # Load Game

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

        Audio.me_stop

        $game_switches[6] = true # Switch for Autoprocess to play proper music

        $scene = Scene_Load.new

      when 2  # Quit to Title

        $game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)

        $scene = Scene_Title.new

      end

    end

  end

end

 

Note that Switch 6 is in a Parallel Process Event on the continue maps that starts up the correct BGM.

I am having some annoying problems that I cannot seem to fix. Let me list them:

• 
  1. The command window with 'Continue, Load Game, and Quit' doesn't go away until either the Title Screen is fully up (using a customized version of MogHunter's Opening), or a Loaded Game is fully up in the loaded map. Otherwise, that command window persists.
  2. Continue does NOT work. The game goes to the new map, then the Game Over Screen immediately reappears. Nothing I have done can stop this.
  3. The Gameover ME persists unless I use Audio.me_stop, but it's very abrupt. If I try using Audio.me_fade(), it's not the same and doesn't work. Anyway to smooth it out?

Thanks in advance!

1- Add a call to the dispose method of the command window at the end of the main bucle, when all the sprites are disposed.

Okay! That worked. Thanks! Now, does anyone have any suggestions for #2 or #3?

This works for me. I didn't get the repeating Game_Over problem, and the me_fade seems to work just fine.
(this is in a brand new project, so the map BGM works normally from Scene_Map.)
