Author's Notes

Today I completed my first script(s), I hope you guys like them, ones just an easy edit of the other.

Fantasist

Really good Nortos :)

Quick suggestions:

QuoteTo change the picture background in pic edition just save your picture into the pictures folder and then in my menu script go to line 192 and replace "Blizz paper.png" with "Your picture"

instead, you could use constants in the script's config section. Like this:

BG_Pic = 'Blizz Paper.png'

and in line 192, just replace Blizz Paper.png with BG_Pic.

And why don't you try to merge the two CMSes? It's simple, just use 'if's and you're almost done.

PS: Um, how about a non-megaupload download?
Do you like ambient/electronic music? Then you should promote a talented artist! Help out here. (I'm serious. Just listen to his work at least!)

yeah I was gonna do the merge soon :P but I still need to learn more and ty for compliments :) Oh and woot it got moved into database :D. Also about merge it'll be hard because in two different editions the windows r placed in different spots to animate them because one is and one isn't and in the pic edition windows opactive = 0 that's how it looks cool :P
EDIT: I put up sendspace uploads for u for now though I'm probably gonna update this in couple hrs

@Nortos Interesting menu looks good. I think I might be able to merge the two menus/help you.
Dropbox Who need luck when you can make your own.

ty :) also I'm gonna update it soon, got icons working now just gonna make it all one script shouldn't be too hard
EDIT: Read pm Fantasist

Fantasist

Read PM Nortos :)

Another hint: You could use the .blt method in the window's bitmap instead of sprites.

what's the .btl method? still learning sooo much I'm :P, also this'll hopefuly get updated tonight into one scritp and icons working on both versions
EDIT: Update map edition v1.1.1 out icons working, couldn't make it into one script though there were errors with other scripts I wasn't even touching :( I'll combine them when I learn more though the practise helped me and I get the switches activating scripts

Fantasist

the .blt method of the bitmap class, 'block transfer', which replaces a rectangle in the destination bitmap with a source bitmap. The destination bitmap will be the command window's 'contents' (self.contents is a bitmap) and the source bitmap will be the icon's bitmap (RPG::Cache.icon('icon_name'))

Forgot the stuff about the battleback stretch edit I made for you ;)

EDIT: Btw I got like 4ish futurustic battlebacks I got just for u :) I'll upload them soon still looking for more on a game

Fantasist

Wow, thanks a bunch dude :D

You release the sprite version and work on the bitmap version. It could be tricky to animate the icons there.

Calintz

Uhh...
You encrypted the damn archive again Nortos!!  :P

I can't see the script. I'm trying to learn how to script, and I wan't to make a CMS also for my first script, so I like seeing how others make theirs.

Blizzard

How about you simply zip the folder together, Nortos? -_-
