FAQ

Spoiler: Setting the hotkey

The "Button" by default is F8 (Input::F8) but you can set it to anything, for instance if you're using a AWorks Input/Keys you could set it to Keys::ESCAPE if you'd like

Spoiler: Setting Excluded Scenes

In order to exclude scenes from allowing the one-button shutdown, just place the scene's name (as a String) into the Xclude array.

Lets say you don't want the key to work at the title screen or in battle, then it would be set like...

Xclude = ['Scene_Title', 'Scene_Battle']

Bah, credit me or whatever :P

hi !

I think you can change the line :

alias_method :exithotkey_graphics_update, :update

with this to prevent stack bugs due to aliases:

alias_method :exithotkey_graphics_update, :update unless $@

Spoiler: F12 Fix (by Zeriab)

if $f12_fix.nil?

f12 = Thread.new {

  $f12_fix = Win32API.new('user32', 'keybd_event', 'LLLL', '')

  $f12_fix.call(0x7B,0,0,0)

  sleep(0.1)

  $f12_fix.call(0x7B,0,2,0)

}

f12.priority = 1

end

What it does, when you get a STLD from F12, it opens up the Game.exe as a new Thread, or something of that nature (maybe Z could explain it better, I honestly don't know how he figured this one out.) Basically, when the F12 error does occur, you probably won't even notice it.

If you ever get a STLD when resetting, with this snippet, then its not F12 but an actual problem with one of the scripts in your project. In theory, you can paste it anywhere (I have it pasted right in the middle of all my chaos) but I'd suggest pasting it one space above 'main'.

 

[Zeriab]

I am not really sure where you got that Kain, but it's not my F12 fix.
This is:
[ruby]#=begin
unless $f12_cleaner_F3XXEFA1.nil?
  # Opens the game executable in a new thread
  Thread.new{system ("Game")}  # "Game" = Name of the game executable
  # Exits this thread
  exit
end
 
# Modifying this global variable might cause this snippet to stop working properly.
# Some garbage have been added to lessen the chance of it already being used
$f12_cleaner_F3XXEFA1 = true
#=end
[/ruby]

I have also made a script which pauses the game when F12 is pressed (RMXP only)
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=64701

Since you are changing a hidden class I would suggest only aliasing the method if you haven't done so already:
[ruby]unless method_defined?exithotkey_graphics_update)
  alias_method :exithotkey_graphics_update, :update
end
[/ruby]
