[XP] Images instead of text in Scene_Menu [Resolved]

[prioran]

Hello all,

This is a woefully basic question, but I've been trying to edit my Scene_Menu and simply can't get what I want. Could someone please tell me how I might replace the text on the left column of the default menu system (Item, Skill, etc.) with images?

Thanks for your patience and assistance! I'm still trying to teach myself how to script, but my courses are absorbing too much time.

If you want a nice menu easily, then you can use Moghunters Menu.

Thanks much for the suggestion, but I'm familiar with that menu system and won't be using it because I have custom systems within each option that are difficult to reconcile with the MOG scripts. All I wish to do is replace the text of my default menu system with images.

Just found this on RPG Revolution. It is made by Redd

Tested it as well, it adds icons in the menu before the choice words. If you don't want the text, just remove them in the Scene_Menu.

#==============================================================================
# ** Redd's MenuIcons
#==============================================================================
#  Gives the menu the ability to have icons in the choices
#==============================================================================
#  Instructions
#
#  After configuring what you want your icons to be, go into Scene_Menu, look
#  for line 26, and change
#  @command_window = Window_Command.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
#  to...
#  @command_window = Window_MenuIcons.new(160, [s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6])
#
#  And there you have it. If you need any support just email redredd@live.com

    # If there are more than 6 commands:

      # Don't draw anything.
      icon = ''
    end
    # Create the bitmap image for the icon
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(icon)
    # Make the rectangle for the image to be in
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height)
    # Draw the bitmap inside the rectangle, at 4 pixels across,
    # and down according to the index
    self.contents.blt(4, 32*index+5, bitmap, src_rect)

Great idea. It worked perfectly! *levels up*
