[XP] Window_Advanced movement and more

[Ryex]

well I have Window Adv selectable almost finished. I'm oh so close I just need to get it looping verticly when there is more than one column and improve cursor movement and we're good. right now... it looks... AWESOME!

Window_AdvBase is now 1.04 and it has the shortened class name now so. enjoy.

UPDATE: Window_AdvSelectable v1.0 is out the only glitch I know of is that you can't loop vertically when there is more than one column, I will fix this eventually.
to use this new class make sure you have v 1.04 of the base class installed too

here is a demo class of the slectable window just make a new instance with a bunch of commands and test it out.

class Window_Test < Window_AdvSelectable
  
  def initialize(w, commands)
    @commands = commands
    super(0, 0, w, 160, 160, 32,  32, true, 0, 0, 4, false)
  end
  
  def finalize
    @column_max = 7
    @item_max = @commands.size
    self.contents = Bitmap.new (self.width - 32, self.height - 32)
    self.active = true
    self.index = 0
    refresh
  end
  
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(160 * (@column_max + @offset), row_max * 32)
    for i in 0...@item_max
      draw_item(i)
    end
  end
  
  def draw_item(index)
    row = index / @column_max
    column = index - (row * @column_max)
    x = column * (@column_size + @offset)
    y = row * @row_size
    rect = Rect.new(x, y, @column_size, 32)
    self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[index], 1)
  end

  
end

feel free to mess with the column max to see the effect

also I've been using this to test it it use the window in the spoiler above so just call this scene and you will be able to test it

UPDATE: fixed a small movement bug when doing resizing with pin off

AdvBase would be a lot better. Remember, if somebody would have to read your code like this, he would get confused very quickly.
Laziness has nothing to do with it. It's not like you're going to type it every 20th line. You're gonna probably never type it except when creating a new class that is derivated from it.

Minor English lesson: Is "derived." "Derivated" is not a word.

@Script: GJ, but I'm not sure I would call it an "algorithm." Kinda pretentious
is only using word to quote DW: The Shakespeare Code

Ok, after having used this on a major project and comparing it to the performance alongside that of the standard window, coupled with Ryex's prompt and friendly support, (which few scripters seem to offer >.>) I can honestly say that this script kicks ass. It might not have 9000000 features, but hey, if Ryex updates, it will. For NOW, however, it operates with EASE, and VERY smoothly, if you know how to use it. (Possibly put the test script and scene in your original post, Ryex? That's what helped me the most. Besides the "mode 10" problem, LMAO.)


Point being, this is a very nice scripting tool. It makes a VERY noticeable graphical improvement.
