Adding an option menu?

[xcom]

Hello again!

I know when you're at the title screen, that you can press F1 to bring up "Game Properties" menu.  My problem is, that unless you know that, most players will not know about that option.  So I was wondering if there is a way in VX Ace to add a "OPTIONS" selection to the start up menu.  So it would say something like this when you start the game.

NEW GAME

CONTINUE

OPTIONS

SHUTDOWN

So under the OPTIONS selection, the player can change the gamepad or keyboard button layout.

Also, if possible, some feedback I've received, people have asked if there was a way to change the sound settings in the game.  This is a minor issue for me, because players can always just adjust the sound via the headset or desktop speaker.  IF such a thing was possible, I would like to add it to.

Thanks!

Why not just list the button layout in a text box when the game starts? Or make a graphical image and show picture?

You can add volume control panel through scripts like this: http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/menu-scripts/system-options/

Adding the option command is easy, allowing it to modify the key layout is a different thing. Though you can probably get Zalerinian's force key script so that if the OPTIONS command is selected, it forces an F1 keypress

Is the key reassignment system considered part of the game or is it treated like the RM editor?

If It's not the ladder, Isn't there just a Scene call for it?

There is never something wrong with adding keybinding options. I have to find a good script for that myself.

It should be a 100% must for all serious devs.

@Zoltor - AFAIK, it's built-in to the RGSS3 player and is not a part of the game files. which is why I think the (maybe easiest) way to access it is to force an F1 keypress

Ok, I was afraid of that, due to how It's applied, I thought that might be the case, but wasn't 100% sure.

I've moved this thread to RGSS3 Script Requests. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.

So apparently, based on our trials, the keybindings are on a per computer basis... so changing them using the F1 menu on your game will affect other RM games on that computer
