[XP] Custom Blizz-ABS HUD

[winkio]

@Metaron: Make sure that in the Blizz-ABS config, your MAX_PARTY is set to the maximum number of actors you will have at once.
@Memor-X:  $game_system.parhud = false

winkio, i have a problem.......the script crashes when i try 2 turn on the minimap.
it says:

script 'custom hud' line 1076: NoMethodError occured
undefined method 'dropped' for #<Game_Event:0x40d88a0>

hi, i just wanted to know, how do you disable the hud for a cut scene?

Just paste this in a script call. It'll hide the HUD, the hotkeys, and the minimap.

$game_system.hud = false
$game_system.hotkeys = false
$game_system.minimap = 0

Thanks a lot  

Well it disabled everything but hud

Hmm, that's odd; it's always worked for me. It might be a compatibility issue with Winkio's HUD, though I'd have thought that it would be compatible with the default Blizz-ABS commands.

man, i'm getting tired of posting this every page.

$game_system.parhud = false

EDIT: Ironically, all you had to do was scroll to the top of this page.  But I put it on the first post now, so there should be no more confusion.

[WhiteRose]

Sorry, wink. I should have known better. D:
Out of curiosity, why didn't you just make it use the default Blizz-ABS commands?

[winkio]

because it's a separate display.  What if you only wanted to turn that part off or on?

I'm editing your HUD a bit and I've run into a bit of a snag.

1. How do I remove the white borders around the hp/sp bars? (They ruin my bg graphic by being transparent and showing through to the map)
2. How do I ignore game_party.actors[0] and make it just show party members 1 - 4. I want it to act like a party HUD instead of an HUD that includes party members.

[winkio]

1.  Under draw_basic is where the outlines are drawn (lines 190-191 for example).  Just change them to match the size of the actual bars (should be 100x12), and add 1 to the x and y position.
2.  Pretty much any time you see (0...@psize).each, replace with (1...@psize)each.  You will have to change a few things in the create_positions methods too to keep it centered.

[RoseSkye]

It errors out now. 190 'no implicit conversion nil to integer'.

[winkio]

yeah, probably because there isn't a second party member.  just surround with

if @psize > 1
CODE HERE
end

[RoseSkye]

Same Error. I placed it on line 187 and on line 203.

if @psize > 1
    if color.is_a?(Color)
      (1...@psize).each {|i|
        # draw outlines in color
        self.bitmap.fill_rect(@hp_x[i], @hp_y[i], 102, 14, color)
        self.bitmap.fill_rect(@sp_x[i], @sp_y[i], 102, 14, color)
        # draw actor's names and faces
        self.bitmap.draw_text_full(@name_x[i], @name_y[i], 104, 20, actor(i).name, 1)
        if PARHUD_CONFIG::FACESETS
          self.bitmap.fill_rect(@face_x[i], @face_y[i], 50, 50, color)
          # load bitmap
          bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("actor"+actor(i).id.to_s+".png")
          # draw bitmap
          self.bitmap.blt(@face_x[i]+1, @face_y[i]+1, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 48, 48))
        end
        }
      end
    end
end

I also tried to isolate that one line and it errored out as soon as it started with a syntax error. I'm sure the syntax error came from two cases of psize... but I'm still learning so I wouldn't trust my own word.

[nathmatt]

is that the end of a def because after realigning the code im finding 1 end to many

if @psize > 1
  if color.is_a?(Color)
    (1...@psize).each {|i|
    # draw outlines in color
    self.bitmap.fill_rect(@hp_x[i], @hp_y[i], 102, 14, color)
    self.bitmap.fill_rect(@sp_x[i], @sp_y[i], 102, 14, color)
    # draw actor's names and faces
    self.bitmap.draw_text_full(@name_x[i], @name_y[i], 104, 20, actor(i).name, 1)
    if PARHUD_CONFIG::FACESETS
      self.bitmap.fill_rect(@face_x[i], @face_y[i], 50, 50, color)
      # load bitmap
      bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("actor"+actor(i).id.to_s+".png")
      # draw bitmap
      self.bitmap.blt(@face_x[i]+1, @face_y[i]+1, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 48, 48))
    end}
  end
end

Now you need to replace all the array indicies with i-1 instead of i, because they don't have the player element anymore.

All with [i-1]? Every one in the script? I can do it but I want you to be positive it'll work because it'd be a bitch to revert.

[winkio]

Just inside Parhud, not the whole script.

[RoseSkye]

Okay what do I change to alter the face positions and such?

[Boba Fett Link]

I have a question. Can you make it so that you don't have to have the character with ID 1 in the party at all times?
