Simple Dual Screen System

carmaniac said:
I've been trying to translate that starter kit (as I'm doing french GCSE).
Although some parts of the translating inside scripts is annoying xD.
I'm likely to make a build of instructions to help out people who are new to RGSS for this within my free time.

Im going to use its intro screen its pretty good!
 
Agreed, PSP DS is awesome, but it lacks a lot of stuff that Pokemon Essentials has.
Namely all the functions.

Hi I've Read Everyone Of Your Tut's CNG I Understand RGSS But I Still Don't Get How To Use Your Mouse Module Can You Help Me
 
The mouse module is really only for advanced scripters.
You have to know what you're doing to be able to edit it into the scripts and actually make it do something.
 
This look really cool, I was wondering if you could point out which values alter the size, in case an exact DS size/double screen isn't wanted?

I've tried looking at the script but I can't quite make heads or tails of it XD

Say I wanted to extend the screen to the right instead of down what would I change? ><

Change the Screen.resize(x, y) line to whatever you want.
The first value is the width of your screen, and the second is the height.
Just remember to add on 5 to the first value, and 25 to the second.

~ How to add buttons ~

Well this is requested quite a lot, so here goes.
I'll be using PokemonMenu for this tutorial, so get that up and ready.

Go to the end of line 49 and hit the enter space, this is where we'll start.

Put this on the new line:
Code: 
@sprites["button"]=IconSprite.new(0, 360)

This creates a new IconSprite object at the coordinates 0,360. But it has no graphic at the moment, let's give it one. Add this on a new line:
Code: 
@sprites["button"].setBitmap("Graphics/Pictures/button")

This will set the graphic to button.png or gif or whatever extension the image happens to have.

Next, we'll sort the Mouse.
Make a new line after line 16, and put this on it:

Code: 
Mouse.update
$mouse.x = Mouse.pos_x
$mouse.y = Mouse.pos_y

This updates the mouse module so that we can use it for our button.
Next up is the actual processing of the mouse.

After line 139 which is 'loop do' insert this script:

Code: 
if Mouse.mouse_in_area?(x, y, width, height)
      if Mouse.click?(1)
        p "Insert scene processing here"
      end
    end

Remember to set the x and y values to what you defined when called the IconSprite object, and the width and height are the width and height of your image.

But just having a popup is worthless right?
This is how you call the pokedex:

Code: 
if Mouse.mouse_in_area?(x, y, width, height)
      if Mouse.click?(1)
        pbFadeOutIn(99999) {
        scene=PokemonPokedexScene.new
        screen=PokemonPokedex.new(scene)
        screen.pbStartScreen
        @scene.pbRefresh
        }
      end
    end

Well i hope this helped you guys. Any questions?

TYVM man i am going to test it out later
 
I extended the screen, however when I tried moving the menu there it won't show on any of the 'extra' screen. Is there anyway I can fix this?
 
Try editing this line in PokemonMenu:

Code: 
@viewport=Viewport.new(0,0,Graphics.width,Graphics.height)

To look like this:

Code: 
@viewport=Viewport.new(0,340,Graphics.width,Graphics.height)

Hmm, I'm actually being awkward and extending to the right of the screen like this:

[PokeCommunity.com] Simple Dual Screen System

I changed the section you suggested to:
Code: 
@viewport=Viewport.new(500,0,Graphics.width,Graphics.height)

But it didn't make it work either.

My current screen size is:
Code: 
Screen.resize(635,345)

(and I also changed this previously in the Menu script)
Code: 
 cmdwindow.x=500
 cmdwindow.y=0

p.s. thank you for being so helpful! XD
 
I tried your script.
Problem is, it totally messed up.. everything.
I can't start a new file. :/
It goes black, sits there for a LONG time. And then:
Code: 
Exception: NoMethodError
Message: private method `gsub' called for nil:NilClass
PokemonEditor:32:in `get'
PokemonEditor:71:in `pbGetSpeciesConst'
PokemonEditor:507:in `pbSaveTrainerBattles'

PokemonEditor:489:in `pbSaveTrainerBattles'
PokemonEditor:486:in `open'
PokemonEditor:486:in `pbSaveTrainerBattles'
PokemonTrainers:67:in `pbConvertTrainerData'
nice script, for the first seconds it took to load the game up. 0_0'
Now I removed it, and it's still not working..

EDIT: and now..
Code:

Pokemon Essentials

Make sure your Dual Screen script has a Graphics module edit included, if not, get the newish one from the first post.

If it does, then edit this line:

Code: 
@@fadeoutvp=Viewport.new(0,0,485,685)

To this:

Code: 
@@fadeoutvp=Viewport.new(0,0,630,320)

That's a Pokemon Essentials error, and unless you edited anything other than the PokemonMenu script it's probably to do with that.

Basically it's saying that in PBS/Trainers.txt it's expecting a pokemon name somewhere, and you have it blank.

Just go through the trainers.txt file until you find a blank space, if you dont find one then just try pasting a clean version over the top.
 
It's still not working >< I'll show the whole of my PokemonMenu and DuelScreen codes in case there's something I've done wrong o.O:

Spoiler:

Thanks for all your help >< sorry for being a pain XD
