RMMV Create a compatibility in the main menu

[DarkSearinox92]

Hi guys, i'm trying to create a compatibility between two script.

Yanfly Job Points and an alternative menu of SumRn.

Basically, yanfly job points draw the job points in the main menu, in a precise position and i think that the part of the code that add it, it's this:

//=============================================================================
// Window_Base
//=============================================================================

Yanfly.JP.Window_Base_dASS = Window_Base.prototype.drawActorSimpleStatus;
Window_Base.prototype.drawActorSimpleStatus = function(actor, wx, wy, ww) {
    this._drawMenuJP = Yanfly.Param.JpShowMenu;
    Yanfly.JP.Window_Base_dASS.call(this, actor, wx, wy, ww);
    this._drawMenuJP = undefined;
};

Yanfly.JP.Window_Base_drawActorClass = Window_Base.prototype.drawActorClass;
Window_Base.prototype.drawActorClass = function(actor, wx, wy, ww) {
    ww = ww || 168;
    Yanfly.JP.Window_Base_drawActorClass.call(this, actor, wx, wy, ww);
    if (!this._drawMenuJP) return;
    var classId = actor.currentClass().id;
    this.drawActorJp(actor, classId, wx, wy, ww, 'right');
};

Window_Base.prototype.drawActorJp = function(actor, id, wx, wy, ww, align) {
    var jp = actor.jp(id);
    var icon = '\\i[' + Yanfly.Icon.Jp + ']';
    var fmt = Yanfly.Param.JpMenuFormat;
    var text = fmt.format(Yanfly.Util.toGroup(jp), Yanfly.Param.Jp, icon);
    if (align === 'left') {
      wx = 0;
    } else if (align === 'center') {
      wx += (ww - this.textWidthEx(text)) / 2;
    } else {
      wx += ww - this.textWidthEx(text);
    }
    this.drawTextEx(text, wx, wy);
};

Window_Base.prototype.textWidthEx = function(text) {
    return this.drawTextEx(text, 0, this.contents.height);
};

If i use the alternative menu, this function disappear and the part that add the job points in the main menu is not visible.
If i see the code of the alternative menu, i see this:

    Window_MenuStatus.prototype.drawItemStatus = function(index) {
        var actor = $gameParty.members()[index];
        var rect = this.itemRect(index);
        var x = rect.x + 4;
        var y = rect.y;
        if(!useCharacters) y += (rect.height / 2);
        else y += (characterSizeY/2);
        if(drawTp && !useCharacters) {
            y -= this.lineHeight() / 2;
        }
        var width = rect.width - 8;
        var lineHeight = this.lineHeight();
        this.drawActorName(actor, x, y, width);
        this.drawActorLevel(actor, x, y + lineHeight, width);
        this.drawActorHp(actor, x, y + lineHeight * 2, width);
        this.drawActorMp(actor, x, y + lineHeight * 3, width);
        if(drawTp) this.drawActorTp(actor, x, y + lineHeight * 4, width);
        this.resetFontSettings();
    };

If i try to comment the line "this.drawActorMp", the mp under the character disappear.
Now, if the Yanfly script create a new entry, how can i call it and put it under the mp? I really don't understand how to do it
Maybe the part of the code of the alternative menu it's not this... But i'm pretty sure, in ignorance, that the part of code of script jp points that draw the info in the main menu, near every character, it's right. :/

After some trouble, i've done it. Now it's visible with


this.drawActorJp(actor, id, x, y + lineHeight * 4, width);

but the value remain always on 0... <_>

What am i missing? If i don't specify "id" the function didn't appear. If i specify "id" the function appear. But the value of JP is always 0...

Since Yanfly has made his MV plugins commercial, I cannot ask you to show the script and since I don't personally have a copy, I can't check the full workings of the code to see exactly what the "id" variable is pointing to in his plugin.

For a 100% accurate solution, you would need to ask Yanfly or members of his team or someone else who has bought a copy of his script to be sure. All I can offer is a guess.

My guess - based on how his VX Ace version of his JP script was written - is that the "id" argument asked for in his "drawActorJp" function refers to the database ID of the actor's character class (Hero, Warrior, Mage, Priest, etc).

I'm guessing that when you're calling the function, you are looking for a variable called "id", but there is either no "id" variable specified in the code for your alternate menu (so it possibly defaults to nil/0) or there is an "id" variable that points to some number that is not the actor's character class ID. Character classes are indexed in the database starting from 1 ("Hero" is id #1 by default) while 0 is a null value dummy entry, so if it is defaulting to 0, it may be the reason why you are seeing 0 JP as the value.

Again, I cannot be sure this is this case. Yanfly's MV plugin may not be written the same way as the Ace version and "id" may refer to something else entirely.

Thank you so much, i will retry to see if i can do it But if that part of the code is already "implemented in another script, how can i "import" the function of that script into this one?

I mean, if it's all setted, and the code for "write" is that

this.drawActorJp(actor, id, x, y + lineHeight * 4, width);

How can i tell to the script to "see" parameters configured in another script?

You're already "importing" the function when you are calling "drawActorJp()", the "drawActorJp()" function was created by Yanfly's script, it does not exist in the default code of the engine.

If my guess is right, the "id" in that line of code should just be asking for the actor's character class ID and is not a parameter set by Yanfly's script, but part of the engine's default code (the GameParty object). So you can try using:

this.drawActorJp(actor, actor._classId, x, y + lineHeight * 4, width)

But if it doesn't work, then unfortunately I can't help you, since I don't have access to Yanfly's script and can't see what it is asking for.

It works!! You are the best!!! T_T
