Biography Scene + Morality System - v1.3 (22/01/2015)

[rpglover88]

I understand. And its okay, ill just put the opacity to 0 and add a background picture instead. I have one last question. Is it possible to make the prev Actor and the next actor text as well as the title window icons appear above the bio window? I resized the bio window but now the character bust appear above the title window.

Find the following line in the script:

@title = Bio_Title.new

Just below that line enter this line:

@title.z = 200

This should make the title window to appear above the bio window.

It worked. Thank you so much!

Hello! I'm sorry for disturbing, I generally try to adapt the scripts as much as possible alone but I'm having two problems that I can't seem to solve alone.

Is there any way to get rid of the page number? Since I don't plan to use more than one.

I tried to but it ended up giving console errors (my fault clearly)

edit:

sorry, in relation to this:

Set the info window's opacity to 0, move it out of screen by setting it's X or Y value at a negative value (like -200), and set it's width and height to 1 (not 0 or else your game will crash!).
Remove every symbol from the 'Show_Data' settings which description says that it appears in the info window.
Move and re-size the remaining two windows to your liking.

Done, the window is removed.

I did the same, however now I have the problem that a couple of things that I'd still need (title, char pic) won't be shown since that window is off. I tried changing their position but it doesn't work. Is there a way to "move" them into the bio window?

edit:

okay, I'm not sure what the hell is going on anymore in the meanwhile. Now I have the exact same script with no difference whatsoever copied into a test project, and it works perfectly.

When I paste it in my project, the page change icon is trasparent while in the other one it is colored and pressing the arrows leads to nothing.

And yes, I'm pretty sure the page change was working before even in mine, unless I dreamt it.

For page numbers, if I remember right, I made a color setting for it. Simply set the opacity value of the color (the 4th number) to 0, and that will make it invisible.


For the window...


Remove every symbol you don't want to show in the info window from the 'Show_Data' settings.


Set the info window's opacity to 0.


Position the info window to a place where it's close to all the locations where you want to put the info texts/pictures from the info window.


Since the info window is transparent now, it will look like the texts from the info window is in the bio window itself.


You can re-size the info window if the locations for the info texts/pictures are scattered, so that you can position all the texts/pictures separately at their right place if needed.


If the info window's Z value is actually below the bio window's Z value, just let me know and I will tell you how to change that. I don't remember how I set it.

Hey, thanks a lot for the help. I will try in a minute your suggestions and edit this post, once I solve my problem.

Ok, so the problem was... my System.rvdata2 file. My System.rvdata2 file makes changing pages stop working.

Okay.

Oh, so here's the problem: apparently, if you don't set at least two people in the party at the beginning of the game, it becomes impossible to turn pages. I'm stupid, looking better at the script only now I realize that it is completely tied to the party.

Damn, this destroys me

I was hoping that with this system you could just store profiles. Like, you meet an NPC, talk to him, and you can add his profile, you just give the image names and put some custom data and stuff like gender, age, etc, without necessarily going to "read" from a character of the party.

I'm not sure how other user who said that he was making a Visual Novel-like game could find this actually useful either.

I know you're probably busy but it would be immensely helpful if we could get a workaround... I wanted to use this for the IGMC ;__;

 

[Sixth]

Ohh, I haven't seen your edit in the previous post. o.o


This might be a dumb question, but do you have more party members? Because you can only change actors if you got more than 1 in your party.


Aside from this, I have no idea why is it not working for you, sorry. *-*

 

[dax]

Sorry, I had re-edited my last post later: not a dumb question at all, infact it was a complete misunderstanding on my part ;(

When I found the script, I thought that it was a system were you could store profiles, and an user posting about a "visual novel like" game also made me believe so. However, I now realized that this is not the case, this works more like the Status menu (please see my last edit in the previous post).

It would've been awesome if I could add pages of characters which aren't necessarily in the party... otherwise, every time a player leaves the party his profile would also disappear I guess.

That said, I also tried your method but it does not seem to work, likely because as you said its Z layer is put "behind" the Biography one. I'll try to find its Z myself, though!

edit: adding @info.z = 200 seems to have done the trick for this

 

[Sixth]

A lot of people asked me about making a profile system like this but not tied to party members actually, lol.


But I am working on an IGMC project now too, so I won't be able to make that for a while, sorry! *-*


Eventually, I could try and modify this script, so that instead of reading party data, it reads a custom array and shows the data based on an independent unlocked character list.


But if I find that it takes way too much time, it will have to wait until after the IGMC. Will see how it goes tomorrow, gonna hit the bed now!

 

[dax]

No problem, thanks for the help anyway!

If you have a moment to modify it so that it simply "ignores" who is in the party and who's not and just shows what you tell him, it would be awesome. Otherwise I'll try to figure out a different system in these last days >_<

I'd be okay even with a temporary unstable version which doesn't take in account that obviously you shouldn't put stuff like :nickname etc. that needs to be read from the database . But please don't worry and take your priorities

 

[mrnbrase]

it seam the the file no longer here can you please upload it again? 

 

[Sixth]

The script can be downloaded from pastebin.


The demo link is broken...


But I uploaded it on mediafire now, so get it while it's hot!

Hey I've been working with your script and no mater what I try I can't get the morality bar to show.

 

[Sixth]

Did you change any settings for the morality bar? If so, what did you change and how?
Note that the fill colors for the morality bar are read from the used windowskin (unless you changed that in the settings already), so if the settings point to a transparent color index, it will not show any colors. Still, the background and borders should show, since that is set to use static colors.

Did you get the script from the demo or directly from pastebin?
