Hello, to make things short, I am making a Sword Art Online inspired game, and I need a menu. This is an edit so that I can make it clearer that I need a menu.

Example: http://s1268.photobu...6ba90a.jpg.html

Resources: http://www.mediafire.com/download/2aamzsjb3lz47v4/SAO.rar (As no one mentioned this was the wrong file, I assume no one started yet.)

The menu should function in a way that the normal menu will, though with differant sprites. There will be a drop down with the first selection.

Select 1- Items, Skills, Equipment

Items= Objects that are "Items"

Skills= Like the list of magic for the original menu

Equipment= Armor and Weapons.

Select 2- Guild, Party Friends

Guild= A menu to allow calling guild members to the party.

Party= Where you can edit character equipment in the party like the original menu.

Friends= List of people the player "Friended" who can be added to the party, and with a note of what map their on.

Select 3- Messages, Alerts

Messages= Notes that I will add the "Show text" when used will go here.

Alerts= Same as messages, but with their own alert box type.

Select 4- Display location name

If you could, please make pressing this button display the name of the map the player is on?

Select 5(Option gear)- Options, Help, Blank

Options= Screw Driver symbol, this is where you can save the game and load like usual.

Help= This button will not do anything, as it is broken in Sword art online, since there is no help.

Blank= The log out symbol. Make it blank, but make sure it works as a log out, with out text.

----Original Post----

So I got the idea of how to do practically anything I need to from events, so I'm all set for that, and I'm learning well how to do things... my next step is that I want to make a Sword Art Online type menu, like I did for my menu, pic included if you want to know what I'm talking about. I could make all the art, but how would I go about implimenting this menu into the game? For the pic, I am talking about the drop down selection. The health bar and such would be nice to, for a HUD.

You want to do this via events, and not via scripts?

well, you would probably need to do it via editing the scripts related to menus... so Scene_Menu, Scene_MenuBase and all the other window scripts that it uses

or well, you can use events for that too, but it might be quite long events too... :)

Personally, I do suggest you use scripts for this...

PS: It's been long since I last saw that SAO skin... never implemented it on my comp though... XD...

You can do a lot of things with events, but I'm pretty sure--especially to get the

look and features you're wanting--you're going to need a script of some sort.

If one doesn't already exist, you could always request one in script requests. :)

You would likely need additional graphics for some of the HUD parts.

This one would probably need a specifically made script since it's so much different than what most people use...

Thanks Shaz. I got a collection of sprites and images "ripped" (REMADE and based off of, SORRY for the confusion!) from the anime. I have the empty text box, icons and buttons, with highlighted, and faded out images. I would like the message and alert box to be used as text box choices. For speach I would like the choice to use a text box, like one from the menu? If it is possible, of course. I would ask that the menu is set as so: http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj579/skyvory/SAO/SAO_09_1802_20130112_013717_zps856ba90a.jpg For the second icon, show choices Guild, Party and Friends. Any order, and with each, IF possible, a menu for selecting another "player" The third being able to select my incoming messages and alerts (why I asked for the text option before) the forth can be empty, just make sure it glows when you hover over it. The image cuts off the last one, options. Make there be 3 options. An "options" screw driver icon, Help, a question mark icon, and an empty option with the log out symbol. If you could do this, I would be SOOOOOO SOOOO SOO happy :p I would add your names to the credits like a billion times.(Thanks)https://www.mediafire.com/?2aamzsjb3lz47v4

We don't support people using ripped resources here. I thought you said you created your own?

I ripped images from the anime, and remade them. As you see in the image, I didn't use direct versions from the anime or manga, I only used symbols that look identical, ripped is a bad word to use I guess... I based my image off it?

He means he burrowed and rearranged the materials. Hopefully he is being as original as possible.

The reason I posted it, was so if someone could make the menu, those are the images needed.

I think you need to provide more information about how the menu will go... like behaviors when a certain choice is highlighted, when a choice is selected etc

Criazika, please do not bump your topic unless it has been 72 hours later since your last post. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.


I did say in my PM to you yesterday that you could bump it if it's been more than 3 days. It hasn't been.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
