removing equipment slots.

[Guttermouth]

So in my game the characters ideally only have, a weapon, armor, sheild and an accessory (or 3 if possible).

Anyone know of a script that simply removes the helmet from the optional equipment, and adds an extra accessory or two. (if it doesn't add an accessory it's fine :])

I've tried to do this with guilaum777's multi slot script but i cant seem to make that the default set up for everyone.

der, what rpg maker program are you using?
If it's rpg maker vx. then I'm quite sure you could use some of the kgc script system, custom equipment scene script or something liek that.
I'm not too sure about rmxp, though.

 

[Guttermouth]

it's xp, im sorry thats was stupid of me to not post it.

I remember trying multiple accessory slots a while ago, and after failing miserably for a while, I found it's actually quite simple... can't remember the details though, as I haven't worked with RMXP in a long while.

However, if you just want to remove other slots, look into Scene_Equip and Window_EquipRight respectively. They should both contain some methods that each have five handlings depending on @equip_type - these are your slots. If you replace the third with what is the fifth, and delete 4 and 5 thereafter, you should be good.
Note that you can't just add oher accessory slots by coping the accessory option multiple times ^^"

yeah i tried the accessory adding before i posted, it didn't work :]. But Thank you, i assumed i could do it that way but didn't think i'd have to change the numbers up a bit.

EDIT: Stupid me, you must have ment the handlings, i know nothing of ruby, but I am planning on learning it. If you could explain a bit more in depth it would be fantastic.

The problem is that even now that I'm at home, I don't use RMXP anymore, si therefore I can't look at it. ^^" If you could supply the code for the metnioned classes, though, I could maybe help you out.

I tried changing it to where it would do it. But as for Window_EquipItem I can't get the right stuff to appear in the correct slots

Only way I can think of doing it is to make all Body Armor using the Helmet Slot in the Database and all Accessories using the Body Armor Slot

and then using this script

class Window_EquipRight < Window_Selectable

  def refresh

    self.contents.clear

    @data = []

    @data.push($data_weapons[@actor.weapon_id])

    @data.push($data_armors[@actor.armor1_id])

    @data.push($data_armors[@actor.armor2_id])

    @data.push($data_armors[@actor.armor3_id])

    @item_max = @data.size

    self.contents.font.color = system_color

    self.contents.draw_text(4, 32 * 0, 92, 32, $data_system.words.weapon)

    self.contents.draw_text(4, 32 * 1, 92, 32, $data_system.words.armor1)

    self.contents.draw_text(4, 32 * 2, 92, 32, $data_system.words.armor2)

    self.contents.draw_text(5, 32 * 3, 92, 32, $data_system.words.armor3)

    draw_item_name(@data[0], 92, 32 * 0)

    draw_item_name(@data[1], 92, 32 * 1)

    draw_item_name(@data[2], 92, 32 * 2)

    draw_item_name(@data[3], 92, 32 * 3)

  end

end

    end

      # Change equipment

      last_hp = @actor.hp

      last_sp = @actor.sp

      @actor.equip(@right_window.index, item2 == nil ? 0 : item2.id)

      # Get parameters for after equipment change

      # Draw in left window

      @left_window.set_new_parameters(new_atk, new_pdef, new_mdef)

    end

  end

  end

You would also have to rename the System stuff under the Database
Helmet >>>> Body Armor
Body Armor >>>> Accessory

Here's the window_equipitem script incase BlueScope want's to fool with it.

Window_EquipItem class will be the last thing you need to modify, however, you see how stuff is handled in there already (@equip_type stores the equipped armors respectively: 0 is shield, 1 is armor, 2 is shield, 3 is accessory... or a different order in case I switches 1 and 2...).

However, what you need to change is mainly Window_EquipRight (for display and addression), as well as Scene_Equip (as some stuff is handled through there, iirc).
