You can remove the TP guage altogether from the system screen.  I don't use the TP.  (LOL)


Seriously, I am making a Dragon Quest type of game and want the classic feel in menus WITHOUT the gauges.  I've looked through some plugins and searched the web.  Does anyone here have a solution?


Thanks 8)

You'd have to edit the scripts, but it's fairly simple to do. Using a program like Notepad, go into your project's folder, go into the "js" folder, and open "rpg_windows". (You'll likely need to set it to show all files.)


Now search for "prototype.drawActorHp". There is a line that starts "this.drawGauge"; delete or comment out (put "//" at the beginning) that line. Then do the same for "prototype.drawActorMp" (it's just below drawActorHP). That should remove the gauges while leaving the numbers displayed.


Addendum: If you are using a plugin that affects the menu layout, you may have to remove the "this.drawGauge" in the plugin's scripting. But that's if doing it in the base scripts doesn't work.

Since you're here, one other little thing is the damage tile.  It's default is 10 damage.  I want to change it to 1.

I can't open the .js file. Can I still remove the HP and MP gauges? If not, does anyone recommend a program I could use to edit the .js file?

You should be able to right-click and 'Open With' normal old Notepad. Although I would suggest using Notepad++ for editing.

@Exhydra Thank you! For some odd reason, when I just normally clicked on it, it said "Error: 'Window' is not defined, but now it works just fine.

@LittleLeoGamer The file was probably being parsed and run by JScript, a native javascript compiler in Windows.

@Exhydra Now I have a different problem, and I'm wondering if you can help me fix it. Yes, the HP and MP gauges are gone, but the numbers (HP: 1/1, MP 0/0) still remain. What do I do?

@LittleLeoGamer So, you're wanting to remove the HP and MP gauges, along with the text in the battle display, correct?

@LittleLeoGamer Removing and/or commenting out anything in the core scripts as explained above is quick and easy, but may cause issues or incompatibilities down the road. I would highly suggest copying and pasting the following code into a '.js' document in your plugins directory (name it 'RemoveGauges' or whatever you want). Then add that to your project through the Plugin Manager. This will allow you to trouble shoot any issues later on by enabling or disabling the edit instead of having to remember which lines you changed in a huge script file.


Window_MenuStatus.prototype.drawActorSimpleStatus = function(actor, x, y, width) {
var lineHeight = this.lineHeight();
var x2 = x + 180;
var width2 = Math.min(200, width - 180 - this.textPadding());
this.drawActorName(actor, x, y);
this.drawActorLevel(actor, x, y + lineHeight * 1);
this.drawActorIcons(actor, x, y + lineHeight * 2);
this.drawActorClass(actor, x2, y);
// Draw HP and MP functions
/* this.drawActorHp(actor, x2, y + lineHeight * 1, width2);
this.drawActorMp(actor, x2, y + lineHeight * 2, width2); */
};

Window_Status.prototype.drawBasicInfo = function(x, y) {
var lineHeight = this.lineHeight();
this.drawActorLevel(this._actor, x, y + lineHeight * 0);
this.drawActorIcons(this._actor, x, y + lineHeight * 1);
// Draw HP and MP functions
/* this.drawActorHp(this._actor, x, y + lineHeight * 2);
this.drawActorMp(this._actor, x, y + lineHeight * 3); */
};


Do this whenever you want to make an edit to the original code. It will save so much pain and headaches in the future.


EDIT: Changed the code somewhat from my original posting.

@Exhydra Thank you for all of the help. I'm really lazy (XD), but I guess I'll do this to prevent problems. Thanks!

@LittleLeoGamer I made a change to the original code I posted.


Yes, making the edit within the core files is quick and easy ... but believe me, taking the extra few minutes to copy and paste the code you want to change into a plugin file will save you headaches down the road.

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
