Resizing Battle Skills Window (easy?)

[kingmatthew]

Pretty much what the subject says, but more specifically I am looking to resize the skill window in battle to half of the default width.  I've already managed to get my skills pushed over to the left side of the screen in one column, so now I have giant space with absolutely nothing there.

If anyone could point me in the right direction to getting that sorted out, I would be forever grateful!

Best Regards,

I Window_Skill script, find the "initialize" method and change the line

super(0,128,640,352)

into

if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Battle)
  super(160, 128, 320, 352)
else
  super(0, 128, 640, 352)
end

Thank you Haki, the placement is now PERFECT!

However, something strange happens now, all the skills are messed up.  Some of them don't even show, and the ones that do have other skills' descriptions.  For example, if I select "Hurricane," then "Feint Attack" would be performed.

Here's a screenie for convenience(?):

If you do not wish to continue to help, that's fine too. =D But thank you anyway for the placement code, it helped a lot!

Are you using any other scripts? I tested it again and there weren't any problems you mentioned.

 

[kingmatthew]

Yes, I am, but that was a fresh project I just put it into....Hmmm, I tried it again, but it's still doing that...weird...

Oh, well, don't worry about it! Maybe I can find another way to customize!

Thanks again!

I know what's the problem.
Find the method "draw_item" inside the Window_Skill script and replace

      x = 4 + index % 2 * (288 + 32)

with

    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Battle)
      x = 4
    else
      x = 4 + index % 2 * (288 + 32)
    end

GOT IT!

Thanks for all your help! =D

(yay for customization!)

i tried to do this with item window as well, but it didn't work, the lay-out is messed up :s
any help?

 

[Haki]

My mistake, I forgot to do this:
Find the line

   y = index / 2 * 32

and replace with this in both Window_Skill an Window_Item scripts

if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Battle)
   y = index  * 32
else
   y = index / 2 * 32
end

the skills window is perfectly fine, but the item window isn't. Maybe this can help:

there are two items on one line, but the one on the right isnt shown :s

 

[Haki]

Ok, this is the final edit to the scripts.
In the initialize method of both scripts, replace

    @column_max = 2

with

    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Battle)
       @column_max = 1
    else
       @column_max = 2
    end

I hope this is it.
