[XP] Zer0 CMS

[ForeverZer0]

Zer0 CMS
Authors: ForeverZer0
Version: 1.3
Type: Command Menu
Key Term: Custom Menu System

Introduction

This is my first complete CMS that I have created. Originally it was going to be used exclusively for my own project, but I decided to release it for anybody to use. I have added as much compatability as possible to it for other scripts since it also uses its own save/load system, etc.

Features

• Optimized code to only create windows as needed, which means less lag.
  
• Animated windows.
  
• Clean, simple interface
  
• Custom save system built-in, with easy compatability for any scripts that may use aliased methods of Scene_Save and Scene_Load.
  
• Options menu with many configurable options including Font, Shaded Text, Gradient Bars, Windowskins, Window Opacity, Volume, SFX, and more.
  
• Displays game time on menu, using either CCTS or ATES.
  
• Built in quest manager. (Based off of game_guy's Quest script)
  
• Items can be sorted by Type, Alpha-Numerical, Quantity, and by Key Item.
  
• Save and Load available from menu.
  
• Can use L and R to switch characters on the Equip and Status screens.
  
• an use variable to log Game Completion on File Windows.
  
• Ability to allow player to unlock Windowskins and Fonts that can be used, much like Chrono Cross.
  
• Compatibility with Blizzard's Equap Skills from Tons.
  
• Automatically install fonts on users PC
  
• Much more!

Compatibility

Requires Blizzard's Tons-of-Addons (v.6.03 or higher), and either ATES or CCTS. It is possible to use another Time System other than them, but it will require some edits to one section (see script).
This script makes many of the default scripts obsolete, almost all that deal with the default CMS and the save system, therefore it will likely not be compatible with other scripts that affect these classes.

Credits and Thanks

• ForeverZer0, for script
  
• Blizzard, for Tons and a few other methods that I used in the script.                                                                        
• game_guy, for the base of the Quest script                                                                                  
  
• Fantasist, for the window movement script that this script uses.
  

Author's Notes

Small bug. If you go to status, choose a character, then go back it goes back to the command window. Items, Equip etc.
Now if you go to equip, choose a character, then go back it goes back to character selection. I'd rather it be character selection for both.

Nice menu by the way. Its quite nice!

Thank you! I'll check the bug out, I didn't intend for it to be like that. Thanks for the feedback, and for the Quest system. It is basically an adapted version of yours

Awesome. Chrono Cross is one of my top five favorite games ever, and I always thought that was a cool feature.

I downloaded the demo but there was no text it was all blank

[G_G]

install the fonts that the demo came with then

[Blazblue Fan]

Are you saying that the demo came with the fonts to install in case I don't have them? If so I don't see any, sorry if I'm asking stupid questions that everyone should know

Edit: never mind I have the fonts now

No, the demo did not come with fonts, but you will need them in your system, else no text will be displayed.

Something happens with the equip menu where everything gets all screwed up. Like my accessory slot was pointing to shields and stuff like that. Then when it gets to weapon, it crashes on line 2274. undefined method atk for rpg::armor
This is the line.
      atk = item1.is_a?(RPG::Weapon) ? item2.atk - item1.atk : 0

I'll check it out. I admit I didn't test this script super good. So please everyone let me know any issues that are occurring, and I'll fix them as soon as possible.

this cms looks great i'll try to figure out how you added the latest map name in the save screen.  thanks

[nathmatt]

just a suggestion

def self.name(id)
  text = case id
  when 1 then 'Picking Fruit'
  when 2 then 'Example #2'
  end
  return text != nil ? text : '?????' # <-- Default for undefined
end

can be done easier with

def self.name(id)
  case id 
  when 1 then return 'Picking Fruit
  end
  return '?????'
end)

i get this error ... when i will call the menue in the game

[nathmatt]

Do you have zeros ATS

[luchs]

ATES isn't from zero, or not?

I used http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,710.0.html

[Blizzard]

What does it say in the "Authors" part on top of the topic?

[luchs]

see script but ... in the comments of the script ... i don't find any helpfull information to use the script with ates....

are there two different scripts called ATES?

This would look GREAT for a in-game cms for rmx-os
