Options Menu

[guitarshredderj]

Yeah, so I have an options menu, and as far as I can tell, I'm doing this right, but apparently not. I'm calling the menu using this code:  $scene = Scene_Options.new....But it's not working. I keep getting an argument error. The error says
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Script 'Title Screen' line 312:ArgumentError ocurred
Wrong number of arguments(0 for 1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is really annoying because I know it has nothing to do with the title. This options menu did the same exact thing in the demo when I got it. I'll note that this IS supposed to be an options menu for the title. But i have everything in my title set up correctly. The credits menu works fine, which is brought up the same way.($scene = Scene_Credits.new)Please help. My title screen is ALMOST complete. This is the last thing I need.

Here's the code for the options:

Here's your problem:

  def initialize(menu_index)

    $game_system.sound_music = 0

    $game_system.option_decision = menu_index

  end

Under Scene_Options this is the initialize method. It requires 1 argument. Either you change (menu_index) into (menu_index = 0), or you have to supply an index whenever using .new. So for instance:

$scene = Scene_Options.new(0)

 

[guitarshredderj]

Thanks FireRaven, but now I have this error.

http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq77 ... terror.png[/img]

 

[Sarkilas]

Unless you have a class that defines the sound_music variable within Game_System as a writer you cannot set a value for it. The script in the first post has no such thing. A way to add this can be done as simple as this:

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :sound_music
  alias_method(:system_int, :initialize)
  def initialize
    system_int
    @sound_music = nil
  end
end

What I don't get is why the script didn't include this to begin with.

 

[guitarshredderj]

*Sigh*

http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq77 ... wError.png[/img]

FireRaven, can I just upload a demo for you to look at? I'm just getting error after error.  :dead:

 

[Sarkilas]

Go ahead. It's much easier indeed. Seems like the Game_System object never were included with the options script.

 

[guitarshredderj]

EDIT: Ok, so mediafire is being a dick and it keeps giving me a server error. Idk about you though. Is it working for you?If it isn't, i'm just gonna make a new account with megaupload or something, because I tried re-uploading it several times, and to no avail.

Ok! Finally!Here's the link. Lol, i'm having terrible luck today. Megaupload said i already had an account.  :dead:
which I don't.

[Sarkilas]

Dude, where did you get this from? Tons of non-default classes are missing. It led me to Window_Battler being gone. There isn't even such a thing in the default RMXP list. You might want to re-download this or get a different options system.

 

[guitarshredderj]

*Sigh*

Do you know of any good ones you can recommend me then. I'm having massive problems finding a good one. Aleworks doesn't work for me for whatever reason...All I need is something basic. Something that changes BGM volume, BGS volume, text color, font type, windowskin, and message speed.

 

[Sarkilas]

I have never used an option system personally, but it shouldn't be hard to find. I couldn't find any by simply searching at the current rate, but I know there are a few. Possibly, though, the systems you will find will not include a message speed changer, as it's not there by default anyhow. Shouldn't be hard to change, however.

EDIT: Wait a minute. The Scene_Options is a CMS, not an options screen. Just look at the command window:

@command_window = Window_Command.new(160,["Item", "Abilities", "Equipment", "Change Party", "Save Game", "End Game"])

What have you been downloading? :P It's obviously a mix with an options screen included. You might wanna look into this.

 

[guitarshredderj]

Ok...I've tried a few myself too, and each one always gives me some sorta error. If I get one, is there any chance I can PM you or something for help?, as I only know of 2 other option menus

EDIT:Yeah, well actually, lol, I didn't know that. The download I got was a CMS a guy made. I noticed in the description though, that there was an option script, so i figured what the hell, and just took that. That's oubviously the reason. Excuse my ignrance, as I have little to no scripting knowledge.

I could give you the link to the CMS if you want. Maby you could make it so I can just use the options menu for the title screen. That would be cool. I have no idea if that would require massive script editing though...

EDIT:  :lol: I feel like such a dumbass now. It probably would have helped If I mentioned that. Sorry about that. Note that me taking that one thing though was just a last resort. I wasn't sure if it would work or not...
