Custom Menu??

[ShizuuArtt]

First as a disclaimer, I'm very new to this website and I'm not sure if I placed this in the correct section...
Aside from that, my question is, is that I am having a hard time finding answers, tutorials, etc. On how to make the menu look different-like the faces being a full body picture and being able to switch between which character you are on. Removing the HP/MP/EXP bars(I am not making a classic RP and don't really need these), as well as the equip, status and any other sub menu I won't be using.
I know this is a lot of questions, and I'm not confident in my explaining abilities. But if anyone could help me I'll be forever grateful!
Thank you in advance!

Any change to any menu requires scripting. It cannot be done by default.


And scripting in the RM's refers to full programming knowledge, in case of Ace to programming in Ruby/RGSS3.


Please check the master script list, it already has existing scripts that can be used without (or with very limited) programming experience.


You'll find a link to that list and more details if you follow the link "how to use a script" in my signature.


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

Thank you very much! I will go check that out to see if what I am asking for is already answered.

And a will work on posting things in the right place, thank you for that as well...

Can you show us a layout of what the custom menu should look like?

Sounds like you are after the non-battle type menus.

You should be able to find a bunch in the Master script list.

Or if you are simply making an adventure/quest type game without any battle.

You can try one of these "items only menu" script:

Oh yes. I forgot to add the photo, I put it i my first form.

I want it to look something like that, but I still would like sub-menus for key items and a journel.

 

[ShizuuArtt]

That looks somewhat like what I'm looking for, but is there a way to add a full body photo of the main character to the side?

That's a screenshot from [ib], the menu and item is completely custom made.

It's not even using the default engine's item list.

When you are asked to provide a "mock up picture" of the menu you want, it's expected that you make a picture of your own to show what you want and how you want your menu to be made. It will also give the script maker a good idea of how good you are with graphic thus they can adjust the script to fit your skill. A screenshot from another game isn't helping on that part.

Displaying a sprite on the screen is easy. But you have to tell me how you want it, the size of the sprite etc etc or it will end up covering important infos.

and oh, try not to double post or you might get a warning from one of the mods. you can always edit your last post and add more infos if someone else didn't post after you.

Oh I see! Thank you, that information was helpful. I think I can solve the problem I have been having. Thank you very much!

Also, it seems this post was moved to the "request scripts" forms, which isn't what I was asking for at all... I just wanted to know if it was possible for this to work without scripts. Sorry for the confusion.

To change GUI in RM will require a script.

Unless you disable the default menu and make an event to show windows and infos.

Items/Skills/any usable choice window will prove to be hard and limited though, do-able, just need a longer, complex formula in your event.

 

[ShizuuArtt]

Ah I see. I'll begin trying out my opinions then! Thank you very much, and for your patience in explaining things to me!

 

[Milena]

Not all scripts are shown in this forum.

That script allows you to make a menu like Ib.

Good luck on your project.

You are welcome! And good luck with your non-script challenge!
