[XP] Ryex's Collapsing CMS (V2.50 is out!)

[Ryex]

I built this to rival STCMS. I didn't come very close, but I beat most of the competition

[Fantasist]

I've just downloaded the demo, and I've got to admit, I'm very impressed! Awe-inspiring Ryex, nothing less. I especially love your idea for equipment description in the equip scene. Seriously, why didn't I think of that? *levels up*

EDIT:

I built this to rival STCMS. I didn't come very close, but I beat most of the competition

You sure did mate, you sure did
But you've inspired me to make a CMS of my own! Man, it feels good to be scripting in RGSS again, it's been too long. So stay tuned for my next script. I have some ideas already, heheh...

EDIT2: Oh, I forgot. I think you're better off using the moving window code from STCMS. Mine is an alpha version because it's not really optimized. Why don't you code one yourself? It's easy and I think you'll agree.

your code may be an alpha but every time I tried to come up with I different way to move the windows I failed. besides I've yet to find any bugs in your method.
it is conceptually sound. besides I've looked at STCMS and the way Blizzard moves his windows is just different, he approaches the problem from a different angle, instead of making a method tha can move a window from any were to ant were he made a one way ticket system.


I'm going to make V3.0 soon I'm going to complete the status screen, add the ability to see status effects and elaments as icons, and edit the status bar in the main menu a bit.

also... have you checked out the code in Window_Advanced? I made so slight modifications

[Blizzard]

Yes, I unified moving in one method because it's a repeating procedure.

[Taiine]

I have to admit this is one of my top picks for a CMS. My only quem would be the HP/SP/EXP bars.

Never been a fan of bars that have text over them, cause it makes it hard to tell if your full or how low you are. I've been using an edited version of Cogwheel's bar script to add my HP and such barsm (edited so the bars are right below the text rather then behind it), even bars for the stats.

Would there be away to remove the bars from this so I can use Cogwheel's?

[Jackolas]

dunno for sure but if you put Cogweels script underneath this 1 the bars get replace. (well normally that is)

[Blizzard]

He'll probably have to comment out the original bar code as well.

[Jackolas]

tried to edit the script, fount out 2 things.
first of all cogweels bars needs to be placed above this menu script to prevent crashes.
second is that by commenting out the original bar code will remove the bars in total.
will keep testing

edit:
got the bars working.
need to remove the double text and than will post solution here

edit 2:
replace line 38 till 267 with this:

that will remove the Bars from this CMS and will replace them with cogweel (ore your custom)
to put it on/off edit line 101: CUSTOM_BARS = true
the lines below can be used to put the bars to the right position (they are correct now for Cogweel)

[Taiine]

Thanks Jack! That works just fine
However one little thing, when you pull down the first menu that shows the partys health at the top, the text still over laps, and I noticed that the 4th party member, the exp text gets cut off. Like Ev   1   12/[rest is cut off]

While it's normally not hard for me to poke a script, find where the text size is controled or text is drawn and change the size/placement/yada myself. I can't seem to find it in this. Where I thought it was (around line 247 and down) nothing I do seems to effect anything, so I wonder if it's controled elsewhere that I am overlooking or if it's somewhere else and what I'm poking is to something else

[Jackolas]

when you turn this edit on it won't be using the health etc of the menu script
its only putting down the bars from cogweels script

so if you want to change size etc you need to do it in cogweels script.
anyway. if you gief me your modified cogweel script i can take a look at it.

[Taiine]

Nono I don't mean the bar size, I mean the text side to the CMS, when you first pull down the menu the text for HP/SP/EV along with their values are large and over lap the bars and the text for the 4th party member get cut off cause it's to fare to the right.

I want to know where you control the text size at in the CMS.

[Jackolas]

like i sayed... its no longer controled by the CMS. its just a link from cogweel.
if you can gief me the cogweel script i can see what i can do

Here is btw an edit with the font size. Same lines to be replace (38 till 267)

also found some solutions to move the text etc. but before i do make an edit i want to know something.
in the menu. you want to have the exp numbers seen on top of the exp bar or don't
the reason why the exp text is not fitting atm is because in the default Ryex's Collapsing CMS the EXP is never drawn. (4th pic in the first post, no exp text)
there is simple no space to put big exp numbers.

[Taiine]

Here is the cogweel script, only thing I changed would be how tall the HP/SP/EXP bars are and lower them so they are directly below the text.
But yeah I don't want the exp/hp/sp text or such over any of the bars. It just makes it to hard to see at times where the bar is when text is blocking it. Thats why I edited the below script to move the bars below the text.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is a revision of Cogwheel's famous bargraph system, now set as an inser-
# table script to display bargraphs behind values in the menus.
#
# To prevent conflict with Cogwheel's RTAB system, two key definitions have been
# renamed: "gauge_rect" to "cw_gauge" & "gradation_rect" to "cw_grad_rect."
#
#
# Affected Systems:  Main Menu

#                    Equipment Menu
#                    BattleStatus Menu
#                   
# The system uses a series of CONSTANTS that can be edited here.  They control
# the basic gauge colors and the manner the gauge is filled:

# Gauge Border Colors
   COG_COLOR1 = Color.new(0, 0, 0, 192)         # Outer Border
   COG_COLOR2 = Color.new(255, 255, 192, 192)   # Inner Border
# Gauge Empty filler
   COG_COLOR3 = Color.new(0, 0, 0, 192)         # Half of Inner Shading
   COG_COLOR4 = Color.new(64, 0, 0, 192)        # Half of Inner Shading
# Alignment
   COG_ALIGN1 = 1    # Type 1: (0: Left / 1: Center / 2: Right Justify)
   COG_ALIGN2 = 0    # Type 2: (0: Upper / 1: Central / 2: Lower)
   COG_ALIGN3 = 0    # FILL ALIGNMENT (0: Left Justify / 1: Right Justify)
# Gauge Settings
   COG_GRADE1 = 1    # EMPTY  gauge (0: Side / 1: Vertical / 2: Slanted)

hi ryex
its Djeff from rmrk with my question.
im a total noob at scripting so i only know what youtube learns me.

i want to add 2 more new menu tabs in the right bellow.
Iwant to add an icon that opens Zeriab's questbook : $scene = Scene_Questbook.new($scene)
and a load screen : $scene = Scene_Load2.new

i think a must add these near the plugin part ?

how do i do that ?

what must i fill in exeactly here :

#::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
  PLUGINS = []
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Do you have a scene or menu that you want to link to the option menu?
# A plug-in perhaps? To add an option on the option menu that 
# will call your scene simply use this format.
=begin 
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
if $RyexCOLCMS
  desc = '<insert description of the plugin to be displayed in the help window here>'
  RyexCFG::PLUGINS.push(RyexCMS::Plugin.new('<name of plugin>', desc) do
    $Scene = <scene you want to call>.new
  end
  )  #don't forget this line
end
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
=end
# its that simple
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
  class PlugIn
    # read/write-able
    attr_accessor :name, :action, :description

    def initialize( name = '', desc = '')
      # @name is the name which will show up in the menu,
      # @reqs is the Proc that will be called to see if the option should
      # be activated (optional),
      # and @action is the proc that will be called when
      # the option is selected.
      @name, @action, @description = name, Proc.new, desc
    end

    def call
      @action.call
    end
  end
  
end

Please help me
     already thanks ! DJeff

Please use code tags for code. ~Blizz

if $RyexCOLCMS

  desc = '<insert Quest book description of be displayed in the help window here>'
  RyexCFG::PLUGINS.push(RyexCMS::Plugin.new('<name of quest book plugin>', desc) do
    $Scene = Scene_Questbook.new($Scene)
  end
  )  #don't forget this line

  desc = '<insert load scene description of the plugin to be displayed in the help window here>'
  RyexCFG::PLUGINS.push(RyexCMS::Plugin.new('<name of load plugin>', desc) do
    $scene = Scene_Load2.new
  end
  )  #don't forget this line

end

add that in a new script above main and it should work if you still get problems tell me.

[Djeff]

what excectly do i have to type near :
 
RyexCFG::PLUGINS.push(RyexCMS::Plugin.new('< HERE ? >', desc) do


and dont i need to add a icon somewhere ?
so you have a icon like a Q from quest in the right bottom

[Ryex]

the name of the plugin is the name that appears in the menu ie if you put Quest there you would have a quest button. and there are no icons in the options menu
ie.

desc = '<insert Quest book description of be displayed in the help window here>'
RyexCFG::PLUGINS.push(RyexCMS::Plugin.new('Quest', desc) do
  #Scene = Scene_Questbook.new($Scene)
end
)

[Djeff]

options menu ?
i need 2 more icons in the general menu.
near the item,equip,save,skills,and end game icons.
i want to add 2 more icons which will open 2 new windows.
The questbook window and a load window.

[Ryex]

oh well the plugin system only adds options the the options menu if you want to add an option the the main menu you have to do some thing else.

first tell me this do you want the scene to pop up immediately after pressing the button? or do you want the menu to animate out first? the edits are different and the animation is a bit more complex.

[Djeff]

Wont need to be animated.
Just a new screen poping up
