Options Menu Script

Trainer Zydragon · February 21, 2010, 08:49:24 pm

Ok here's the deal, i'm scripting (slowly) an Options menu for my game...

All I would like to know is what kind of options you guys would like in a game

Bear in mind this game does NOT have an ABS or ATB/sideview battlers script.

WhiteRose · February 21, 2010, 08:53:20 pm

If you're looking for a bit of a challenge, maybe you could make an option where you can turn battle animations on and off (a la Pokemon.)

Trainer Zydragon · February 21, 2010, 08:56:36 pm

>.< Make it easy why dontcha

I'm only a noob atm

Actually, turning on/off animations in-game is very easy.

Turn this:

Code: Line 320 of Game_Actor

  def animation1_id
    weapon = $data_weapons[@weapon_id]
    return weapon != nil ? weapon.animation1_id : 0
  end

to:

Code: Line 320 of Game_Actor

  def animation1_id
    weapon = $data_weapons[@weapon_id]
    case $NO_ANIMATION
    when true
      return 0
    end
    return weapon != nil ? weapon.animation1_id : 0
  end

and this:

Code: Line 327 of Game_Actor

  def animation2_id
    weapon = $data_weapons[@weapon_id]
    return weapon != nil ? weapon.animation2_id : 0
  end

to:

Code: Line 327 of Game_Actor

  def animation2_id
    weapon = $data_weapons[@weapon_id]
    case $NO_ANIMATION
    when true
      return 0
    end
    return weapon != nil ? weapon.animation2_id : 0
  end

All you would need then is to add something to your menu to turn it on/off, along with Zeriab's Interpreter command_355 fix.

Trainer Zydragon · February 22, 2010, 05:37:10 am

tbh I think turning animations off would be abit pointless... That would make battles kinda suck, especially without an ABS or ATB system since the animations are fairly short normally anyway

I made an Options menu for my game as well. I included a windowskin changer, font type/size changer, and audio controls. I use a custom Message Window script and I made the fontchanger to allow for settings to the "System" window and the "Message" window independently.

It worked very well, but I ended up scrapping the entire thing and doing something different.
I used "Blizzard's Custom Controls" and assigned buttons configurations so that if the "1" button is held down, it displays a window on screen and the "System" font text/size can be changed with

,[-],[<], and [>]. The same goes with the "2" button for the "Message" window. I use the "3" button for altering the windowskin and window opacity. The script is dependent on a couple other scripts, but if you I'll post you a copy of it to see if you can learn anything off of it.

The current script also has the beginnings of text color changer, but isn't yet complete. To use it, hold the "4" button and toggle the colors with the assigned buttons.

# Version: 1.00
# Date: 2.23.2010
#:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=
# 
# Explanation:
# 
#   This system will allow you to change the font type/size at any point in 
#   the game. The player change the system font (i.e. menus, etc.) seperately
#   from the message window used for speech, etc. It will also allow the 
#   player to just as easily change the windowskin and window opacity.
#
# Instructions:
#
#  - Hold [1], press [<] and [>] to change system font, [+] and [-] for size. 
#  - Hold [2], press [<] and [>] to change message font, [+] and [-] for size.
#  - Hold [3], press [<] and [>] to change skin, [+] and [-] for window opacity.
#
# Warnings:
#
#   Now, obviously making the text to big/small will cause graphical errors
#   and cause text to be cut-off, crammed together, etc., so use this with
#   a little common sense.
#
# Requirements:
#   
#   Need 'Blizzard's Custom Controls', else you will need to edit and create
#   your own button configuration, which will require a small bit of know-how
#   on scripting.

Come to think of it, I might do a few edits and post this in the Script Database... Feel free to use use any part in your game if you need to, though. Hope that helped!

Trainer Zydragon · March 02, 2010, 04:46:02 pm

Yeah cheers, I'll credit you if or when I get it finished.

I'm working on a number of scripts at the moment, and I've gotta make them all compatible for the same game.

ForeverZer0 · March 02, 2010, 04:53:33 pm

Yeah, I know the feeling. I have a few other scripts, but I can't even post them because they all kind of work of of each other and would require someone else to have the same exact game setup...

I know the code above is a little screwy, it wasn't quite ready to be posted as it's own independent script.
Good luck, though.

Trainer Zydragon · March 03, 2010, 05:24:20 pm

Haha yeah, theyre all kinda started and left too...

Im scripting my own in-game trophy system too, and possibly an item-synth sorta thing
