Hello there!

I just tried one of Blizzards games and i feelt like i wanted to use one of his ideas a little bit  :^_^':

There was this script he made to adjust the Menu(where you check status, use items, equipment etc etc) and i though, "HEY! I want that in my game!!" *points at the screen* :up:


So is it possible to make a script to adjust my menu a little bit like the screenshots i post below.
(Don't know how long this script might get but i get ideas popping into my head this very moment i'm writing)

Normal Menu: ShowHide





1: To load a different windowskin on my "menu" but keeps the original Windowskin on my text windows and such.

2: To resize everything to make it look like:

Resized Menu: ShowHide





Now for the cool adjustments ^^

I though it would be cool if the menu changes shape depending on where you have your marker:

Like this: ShowHide


Notice how the menu is bigger since the marker is active there.
and when the marker swiches over to a charakter it would look like:

This: ShowHide


The Menu-Window gets smaller with a transition of 5 frames(or 10) and the Charakter-Window gets a bit bigger with that same transition duriation.(With transition i mean, animated. The menu doesn't instantly get's smaller/bigger in one jump but moves frame-by-frame and in the requested framerate)


Notice how i altso made a single window for one charakter. So it would look like this if i had four party members:

Four Charakters: ShowHide


You get the idea.




The background that is now light-green is supose to be transparent and the map showing instead with the screen tinted gray and a fog that moves with X and Y.
(You might altso have noticed that the "Steps Taken" window is gone.)




Oh and if possible i would like to do the same with all the other windows. Equipment, items, saves... etc etc. For example: The item window doesn't realy change size but it's resized to still show the transparent background and the fog moving.
However the equipment screen would change size since you swich between two windows.

When you swich window to example: Items. The screen would usualy just fade into that item window and cover the normal menu. But i though it would altso be cool of the menu selected(Items, save, skill etc etc, those windows that opens up a new screen) slided from the right and into the middle of the screen and when you go back it slides on to the left offscreen and disapear (With a duriation of maybe 5 or 10 frames)




Is this script a pain or is it easy?  :naughty:

window skin can be changed via database settings... you could google up windowskins resources (or just rmxp wondwskin then go to images results)

and the menu settings.. well im not sure if this will do it.. its a great work from zero :)

Sorry, I will no longer be scripting for RMXP. I may or may not give support for my scripts. I don't have the will to script in RGSS anymore.
