PokeMenu Update!

[Blizzy]

ok, here's a update for people who are using my menu!
instead of switches, it now uses a global variable
(a variable which can be acces everywhere)
it saves 3 switches, what a relief

ok, now for the script, just overwrite it with scene menu:

#=================================
#  Scene_Menu
#------------------------------------------------------------------
#=================================
class Scene_Menu
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
#menu_index 
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
def initialize(menu_index = 0)
 @menu_index = menu_index
end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def main
 s1 = "Bag"
 s2 = " "
 s3 = "Save"
 s4 = "Options"
 s5 = "Exit"
 s6 = "Pokemon"
 s7 = "Pokedex"
 commands = [s1,s2,s3,s4,s5]
 y = 100
 if $menu == 1
 commands = [s1,s2,s3,s4,s5]
 y = 100
 end
 if $menu == 2
   commands = [s6, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5]
   y = 80
 end
 if $menu == 3
  commands = [s7, s6,s1, s2, s3, s4, s5]
  y = 60
end
 if $game_system.save_disabled
   commands.delete!("Save")
 end

 @commands = Window_Command.new(160, commands)
 @commands.index = @menu_index
 @commands.x = 560 - @commands.width / 2
 @commands.y = y
 if $game_party.actors.size == 0
   @command_window.disable_item(0)
   @command_window.disable_item(1)
   @command_window.disable_item(2)
   @command_window.disable_item(3)
 end
 @spriteset = Spriteset_Map.new
 @heroname = Window_Heroname.new
 @playtime_window = Window_PlayTime.new
 @playtime_window.x = 0
 @playtime_window.y = 0

   Graphics.update
   Input.update
   update
   if $scene != self
     break
   end
 end

the global variables are:
$menu = 1 (small)
$menu = 2 (medium)
$menu = 3 (full menu)
(instead of $game_switches[1 or 2 or 3] = true)
enjoy...!

comments & questions are welcome
you can also pm me or add me to msn if you have any questions.

I want to know who is using my menu...
everybody who is using it, please pm me.
so i could make a list with the names.
(i know it from the folowing people: rm2k3kid, esai, peekimon)

[Peekimon]

Oh okay, anyway, good job.

PS: that was a fast reply.

[Jeff_PKLight]

Wait.... so if you use the global vars., wouldn't that be the same as switches? :\

[Esai]

Yes, But it doesnt waste the switches, which are used alot in Pokemon Games, oh and to change the global variable use this:

new event
Call Script:
$menu = 1, 2 or 3

thats it

[Blizzy]

esai is correct.

i choiced for a global variable, so you change it in any script!
(you could try, if you don't believe it)

and, I want to know who is using my menu...
everybody who is using it, plz pm me.
so i could make a list to remember it
i'll put this in the first post too

[rm2kdude]

I get this weird error what does it mean.

[Esai]

Well, Whats the code on line 154 of Scene_Menu?

[rm2kdude]

I have no I dea I somehow cannot reach it its like its not big enough to fit on my screen.

you can download a patch at www.dubealex.com for the resolution
"rmxp enhanched"

and for that error,
overwrite the following with Window_Command

#==============================================================================
# ■ Window_Command
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 　一般的なコマンド選択を行うウィンドウです。
#==============================================================================

class Window_Command < Window_Selectable
  attr_reader  :commands

    super(0, 0, width, commands.size * 32 + 32)
    @item_max = commands.size
    @commands = commands
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, @item_max * 32)
    self.contents.font.name = $fontface
    self.contents.font.size = $fontsize
    refresh
    self.index = 0
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● refresh
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def refresh
    self.contents.clear
    for i in 0...@item_max
      draw_item(i, normal_color)
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● draw item
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_item(index, color)
    self.contents.font.color = color
    rect = Rect.new(4, 32 * index, self.contents.width - 8, 32)
    self.contents.fill_rect(rect, Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0))
    self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[index])
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● index
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def disable_item(index)
    draw_item(index, disabled_color)
  end
end

this is line 154:
self.contents.draw_text(x, y, 200, 32, actor.name)
i don't have any idea what's the prob with this.
it does work okay for me

[Alexandre]

i finally got it to work: i just deleted that line of code and it works fine
but i do have a nother problem no matter which menu i choose i still get Bag,Save,Options and Exit

shouldn't have removed that line :\
the problem is, you haven't set the type!
in scene_title, add above $scene = Scene_Map.new:
$menu = 1
around line 160
it will work!

[Alexandre]

works like a charm now, add me to ur list of using the menu

[Ravecat]

ADd me to the list, this menu is great... But are you going to make the Options and Save (Pokemon Saving Style) ect, Or do we have to do that? Oh, and the Trainer Card...? Thanks anyway

that's all up to you guys
well, you can't use my options now, because my resolution is different,
but apart from that i wouldn't give them out

[Ravecat]

Oh, Thats fine. I was just wondering

[Mooshykris]

that would be good. How do you enter your own options into it? I might have more.
