what's the screenshot for??? oh and yeah it's nice layout and has some nice updates now with load disabled if no saves
posted in this topic on Dec 25 in the old forum.
[quote]I've always disliked the steps window, and the equipment layout is exactly the same layout I'm using for my CMS. And the status layout is VERY near, and I too planned faceset support. So yeah, I say the layout is good
I have a screen of the status scene in my desktop comp, I'm on my laptop now. I'll upload the pic tomorrow.
ohhh face support k
@Fantasist Yea it does look simliar and thanks.
@Nortos Also thank. I myself will probably make a different status screen style( One with battle graphic, and one without the battle graphic.) I already have a layout for it too. It is based on the orginal version of this script. I'll post that one out tomorrow.
cool can't wait to see it :)

. Throught I'm gonna remove the location window from that layout. Btw how does it look?
looks nice like good layout looks like all you would want :)
@Nortos Its an alterterative for now using the battler graphic. I also might post a demo for changing the settings in game.
this script super cool ;D
and thanks what you done for me :)
I love it, except for one tiny thing:
Location + Map Name looks kinda cut-off at the top. How do i fix this?
edit:
when I have a weapon/armor with approx. 12 characters or more, the remaining chars go outside the screen.
The first problem I'll have to edit the location script I guess. I'll just reajust it.Thanks. I'll readjust the menu status too. I also might improve the code of this cms a bit. Any other bugs?
Edit
Version 2.0 is up. Fixed the location window and status window bug. And improved the gold window.
Edit 2
Version 2.1
Fixed a few bugs
Would there be any way to adapt this for 80x80 faces like the Easy Party Switcher uses..?
Yea but I don't have any 80x80 faces unless you can provide me with some. Btw the way do you want anything added or removed from the menu? Example Item, skill, equp, status, party, save, load, exit..
Yeah, word, but let me get back to you on that. I've got a couple of scripts that I'm trying to reconcile with one another and it seems like there are a bunch of different ways to do it, so I want to narrow it down to the least labor-intensive option before I start making extra work for people!
I really appreciate your help though, Juan. Thanks. I'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Alright. When that finishes then send a picture of whatever size you want the faces to be when your done so I can edit the face option for you.
Anyone think I use this layout the only I changed was the gold window and playtime window so they both are in the same window.

Updated the cms. You can use icons and the menu is animated.
post a demo XD
I'll post a demo don't know why the icons images are not showing.
Nice. The only thing I would add is a Real Time thingy above playtime and gold, but that's just me.
I got no idea how the playtime window works. Edit I just noticed the location window is off a little bit.
Simple. The Graphics module, which you update every frame, keeps track of how many frames there have been so far and what the average frame rate has been. So all you have to do is divide how many frames there has been by what the average FPS is, and you will get how many seconds the game has been running.
For example:
def refresh
@total_secs = Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate
hour = @total_secs / 60 / 60
min = @total_secs / 60 % 60
sec = @total_secs % 60
self.contents.fill_rect(x, y, widith, height, sprintf("%02d:%02d:%02d", hour, min, sec))
Update add option to animate the menu or not. Also added animation when exiting the menu.
Added chapter system, added real time, and improve coding.
Juan, sorry to let you know, but all the links are dead :'(.
I'll have to look for my scripts.
Reuploaded with a bug fix.
Juan, your script link is missing a few graphics, being some icons. I don't know where they may be, but can you post a version containing those aforementioned missing Icons? :) Um...either that or you should disable icon use at the default get-go...^^; It's still a pretty sleek menu, I like the transitioning of the windows. Great job.
Thanks star powersup for testing cms. Reuploads cms
I noticed you corrected the Versuib typo you had in 4.8. Now, I have a question. I don't want the Options Menu as a choice in the CMS, is there an easy and painless way to remove that? I tried searching for s(n) = (n), but I can't find anything relating to that specific choice.
Its an easy edit. I'll upload it on sendspace right now. Edit star check your email.
Thanks Juan, I just was unable to find how to do it...Oh well, thanks anyway. ^_^ *Power-up of Truth*
Thank god for AIM and its instant e-mail notifications. It's seeming to work flawless now, thanks. :_):
Is there a way to completely remove the bar style, bar opacity and battle bgm options so they don't show at all?
Yeah I will do that now.

ty, works perfectly ;)
um Juan?... You have a bit on an error...
in the demo the equip menu dose not work quite right
you have the Y and X of the options in the Equip Item window wrong so that half the options appear almost of the screen next to the first half ( its a simple fix I did in in a few seconds to view it properly)
also I think you forgot to add the lines of code that actually draw the effects (elemental and status inflictions) that the chosen weapon has. you just hav the text and the space there...
Edit: I added the line my self and it works not except for the fact that the text string returns nil if the item your viewing is an armor
i found a quite strange error. it caused the whole game to crash. so no error message... just a plain crash without info
after excluding all scripts etc. (even tried your demo without any extras) I found out that if you have a auto tile in a map you can't change anything in the option menu ore it will crash.
strange thing. dunno if other people have the same error.
I have a official copy of the RPG maker xp before you ask.
That's odd. I'll take a look in that. Edit I'll update this script a little later.
i'm glad the problem is not on my side :P
I should have an update soon.
Updated
The menu supports unlimited party size now. And draws soul rage bars if its being used.
whoo.. great update... love the new option menu... way cleaner..
ran into the first bug :P think its becouse i don't have all fonts installed.
if i go options -> visual -> fonts i get this error:
script'Juan's Custom Menu'line 2447: NoMethodError occurred
undefined method 'fontname'for #<game_system:0x15D10a0>
by removing line 2447 it seems to be fixed
I knew I forgot to change something. I'll update it right way. And glade you like it.
found the next bug.
if you have more than 2 items that a char can equip.
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m99/aqua_nl/PK%20Game/bug2.png)
the items that are on the right side (you can still see the icons) can't be selected
this char has picked up 8 armours he can equip
hope for a quick fix.. don't think its that hard to fix :P
That should be an easy fix. I'll do it later today.
Very nice...
did you find the problem?
tried to fix it myself but failed :S
Sadly no I haven't had time. This weekend I will fix it :)
since juan did not have time yet to fix it. i fixed it myself.
here it is:
change on line 1934 till 1954
Quote#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw Item
# index : item number
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_item(index)
item = @data[index]
x = 4 + index % 2 * (288 + 32)
y = index / 2 * 32
case item
when RPG::Weapon
number = $game_party.weapon_number(item.id)
when RPG::Armor
number = $game_party.armor_number(item.id)
end
bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(item.icon_name)
self.contents.blt(x, y + 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name, 0)
self.contents.draw_text(x + 240, y, 16, 32, ':', 1)
self.contents.draw_text(x + 256, y, 24, 32, number.to_s, 2)
end
and change it to this:
Quote#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw Item
# index : item number
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_item(index)
item = @data[index]
x = 4
y = index * 32
case item
when RPG::Weapon
number = $game_party.weapon_number(item.id)
when RPG::Armor
number = $game_party.armor_number(item.id)
end
bitmap = RPG::Cache.icon(item.icon_name)
self.contents.blt(x, y + 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, 24, 24))
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(x + 28, y, 212, 32, item.name, 0)
self.contents.draw_text(x + 240, y, 16, 32, ':', 1)
self.contents.draw_text(x + 256, y, 24, 32, number.to_s, 2)
end
this should fix the bug and put all the items in 1 column
this is btw the fix for the demo version of the script
edit:
the new script (version 5.2) has some major bugs,
1) when opening the menu with the fonts, the game crashes
2) when turning faces on there is always a error that he can't find the face (even if u place the face file in the right place with the correct name)
3) if you have more than 2 weapons you can't unequipped any weapon any more
at this point I was getting frustrated and gone back to version 5.1 (the 1 in the demo)
