Other IconSet, for Yanfly's ItemCore and ShopMenuCore

[bsides]

This allows you to use another IconSet in Yanfly Item Core and Shop Menu Core. Screenshots below.


How to use


Put this below Yanfly Item Core and/or Shop Menu Core plugins. Configure this plugin parameters. They are pretty self explainable:
- Icon Image: the filename of the IconSet. You should omit the file extension.
- Icon Width and Height: the size of the icon inside your iconset.
- Icon Smooth: need anti alias? Probably yes.


Then write in the item / skill / weapon / armor notetag the icon's place in your new iconset.


If you don't write anything in the notetag it will load the default IconSet as it was by default.


Note: the first icon starts at row 0 and column 0.


<bicon row: x>
<bicon column: y>

Changelog
1.1: Now supports Yanfly's ShopMenuCore. Rows and columns traded places (was wrong before, sorry!).
1.0: Published.


PS - I don't know if this is the best way to write an extension, but I know it works. If you have any suggestion or criticism, please let me know.

Hey there! I snapped this up back when it was just a comment on Yanfly's page and just now finally put it to use, seeing as I now have nice icons to do that with. I have one comment and one bug:

• Row/column specifying is zero-based. This probably should be mentioned directly, as most non-programmer sorts start counting at 1, not 0.
• Row and column are inverted - row should be counting downward in the icons file (y axis) and columns should be counting across (x axis).

Other than that, I love it. I really like being able to have a small "type" icon, and a larger detail icon. Thanks for the effort! =D

[Edit] I thought I had a bug but I can't make it happen again. Strange!

[Edit2] I HAD found a bug - looking at an item that has the same row and column numbers doesn't help reveal it! Silly me...

Hey there! Is there any way to apply this extension to all Yanfly's core script that uses a similar canvas? Like Shop Menu Core for example?

Oh, I really should specify that, my bad. Also, I'll fix those row/columns inverted... that was unfortunate

Sure thing, do you know how many other places we have this? I believe there's one in skills too...

After checking through I think that the Shop Menu core is the only other one, the Equip and Skill Core uses the Actor's Faces instead of Icons. I personally would love to have the possibility to show icons of the selected skill/equipment tho. But It's probably something else entirely.


Thanks for the quick answer!

I just updated it to support Yanfly's Shop Menu Core and exchanged row for column as it was wrong before. It was really really easy. Same link for download

Challenge accepted. I'll look into this.


EDIT: I'm sorry, I don't know what you meant by seeing the big item's icon in those screens... you should see the character's stats as you're comparing with what you had and what you're equiping, right?

 

[Kaelar]

Great! Thank you very much for the updated plugin!

And yes, you are right about the skill and equipment menus. My bad sorry :/. The only alternative I see is adding a new window with the selected equipment "Big Icon" but I don't know if it would work.


To put you in context, in my game, every skill/item has a "Card" visual a bit like Magic:The Gathering so I wanted the player to be able to see this "Card" visual from any menu, not just the item menu.

Fantastic fix! A quick test with a project of mine after fixing the row/column entries is looking good.


Also looking good with this plugin is 128x128 icons with a transparent background:

The big icon only looks a bit grainy because I put it through some serious PNG compression.

That would require a more specific system for your game. Maybe grab someone from the forum to help you with that!

That's exactly what I'm using!


Thanks for the kind words guys.
