[Resolved]Ultimate Item Indication With Text Color

[Culex]

I know I've seen the text slice method somewhere (assuming that's the right method), so I'm wondering if I can make any item name with an asterisk (*) preceding it have the crisis_color font rather than the normal_color font. I am trying to integrate this into draw_item_name under Window_Base.

def draw_item_name(item, x, y)
    if item == nil
      return
    end
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(item.icon_name)
    self.contents.blt(x, y + 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
    if item.name.include?('*')
       self.contents.font.color = crisis_color
    else
       self.contents.font.color = normal_color
    end
    self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name)
  end

Or if you want it so it HAS to be at the end of the string,

if item.name[-1] == '*'

I forgot to add that I was hoping it could be configured to exclude the ( * ) during gameplay. For example:

In the database, the name of the weapon is Sword*

But when you're in the menu, no matter the Scene, it will show up as Sword,
obviously with the change in text color.

I've seen it done somewhere with something else, but it was at .net and I don't remember how to do it, and I've been looking at multiple sites with multiple searches.

def draw_item_name(item, x, y)
    if item == nil
      return
    end
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(item.icon_name)
    self.contents.blt(x, y + 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
    if item.name[-1] == '*'
       self.contents.font.color = crisis_color
       self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name.chop)
    else
       self.contents.font.color = normal_color
       self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name)
    end
  end

It loses the asterisk when the item is equipped, but in the item menus (Window_Item, Window_EquipItem) it retains the asterisk. I used your previous method:

if item.name.include?('*')

Oh, the extra info helped.

def draw_item_name(item, x, y)
    if item == nil
      return
    end
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(item.icon_name)
    self.contents.blt(x, y + 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
    if item.name.include?('*')
       self.contents.font.color = crisis_color
       self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name.delete('*'))
    else
       self.contents.font.color = normal_color
       self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name)
    end
  end

And if the other Window_'s use a different method you'll need to modify that too.

Okay, I added this in Window_Item:

    if item.name.include?('*')
      self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name.delete('*'))
    else
      self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name, 0)
    end
    self.contents.draw_text(x + 138, y, 24, 32, number.to_s, 2)

above this:

self.contents.draw_text(x + 138, y, 24, 32, number.to_s, 2)

...and it worked!

I figured out the disabled_color problem I was having too:

In Window_Base I created a disabled form of crisis_color:

def unusable_color
  return Color.new(255, 255, 64, 128)
end

...and then I edited Window_Item to look like this:

 [...]
    [B]if item.name.include?('*')
      opacity = self.contents.font.color == unusable_color ? 255 : 128
      self.contents.font.color = unusable_color
      self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name.delete('*'))
    else
      opacity = self.contents.font.color == normal_color ? 255 : 128
      self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name, 0)
    end[/B]    
    self.contents.blt(x, y + 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24), opacity)
    self.contents.draw_text(x + 138, y, 24, 32, number.to_s, 2)

You can just say.. new_color = Color.new(r, g, b, a) (red green blue alpha), and to use all of the colors from crisis_color just more transparent, use

self.contents.font.color = Color.new(crisis_color.red, crisis_color.green, crisis_color.blue, 150)

Or you can just find red green blue values and put those in. Change 150 to whatever transparency you want (out of 255).

EDIT: Oh you got it :D, PM me if you need any more help.

I may try your method if for some reason mine goes awry, but everything is working great right now.

Thank you so much, verballydecapitating! I'll make sure you get credit!
