mikb89


Introduction

With this script you can specify some text to be drawn when the player face an event. Text can be binded above the event or above the player or in center of the screen. There are many transition effects and it's possible to use picture instead of text. You can also play a SE, ME, BGM or BGS, on every popup event or for specific ones.

Features

  • show simple text
  • bind in the middle of screen
  • bind above the player
  • bind above the event
  • show text grayed out
  • show picture
  • play SE/ME/BGM/BGS
  • fade text transition
  • move text transition
  • zoom text transition
  • transitions mixed together

Script

Code:
# Some Popup v 2.8
# VX Ace version
# by mikb89

# Details:
#  Show some popup text when facing an event.
#  Text can be placed in center of screen, over the player or over the event.
#  Write [pop] in a comment to assign the popup to an event and write in the
#   next comment the text that will be shown.
# NOTE: [pop] is by default, but you can change it in the settings.
#  Text can be also grayed, to indicate a non-available something. To do so,
#   write [npop] instead of [pop].
#  You can also show a picture instead of text. In order to do this, the first
#   comment must be [ppop] and the second will contain the name of the Picture.
#  It is possible to play a sound/music effect for each event. Just write in a
#   third comment these lines:
#    SE (or ME or BGM or BGS)
#    Audio filename
#    Volume (1-100)
#    Pitch (50-150)
#    You can omit the two last lines, and they will be set by default:
#    Volume 80 for BGS and SE, 100 for BGM and ME
#    Pitch 100
# ATTENTION: comments have to be the first two (or three) commands of the event.
#
#  You can also call a script with:
#    $game_player.remove_town_sprite
#   in it to remove the sprite. For example if you put the sprite on an event
#   which you'll speak, with this code you can remove the popup.

# Configurations:
module SPOP
  ID = "pop" # set "loc" for old version compatibility.
   # What you have to write on a event to be identified as popup one.
   # If the value here is for example "pop" you'll have to write:
   #  - [pop] for the common text popup;
   #  - [npop] for the grayed out popup;
   #  - [ppop] for the picture popup.
  AUTO_REMOVE_AT_TRANSFER = true
   # Test to understand what I mean.
   #  true - gives the same effect as the one in Chrono Trigger towns.
   #  false - let the popup be visible after the teleport. Will fade out at the
   #          first player movement.
  GRAYED_COLOR = Color.new(255,245,255,175)
   # Value of grey color. Red, green, blue, alpha. From 0 to 255.
  WALK_8_DIR = true
   # You don't have to include the 8dir script. Just set true this.
  POPUP_TRANSITION = 9
   # The effect of the popup appearing/disappearing.
   #  0: no effect
   #  1: fading in/out
   #  2: movement up/down
   #  3: movement & fading
   #  4: reduced movement
   #  5: reduced movement & fading
   #  6: zoom in/out
   #  7: zoom & fading
   #  8: zoom & movement
   #  9: zoom, movement, fading
   # 10: zoom & reduced movement
   # 11: zoom, reduced movement, fading
  POPUP_SOUND = ["SE", "Book1", 80, 100]
   # Play something on popup.
   # 4 parameters:
   #  1. Sound kind ("SE", "ME", "BGS", "BGM");
   #  2. Name of the file;
   #  3. Volume (0-100);
   #  4. Pitch (50-150 (or 15-453 if you want MAXIMUM values)).
   # To deactivate sound just set "" the 2. or set 0 to 3. Examples:
   #  POPUP_SOUND = ["SE", "", 80, 100]
   #  POPUP_SOUND = ["SE", "Book1", 0, 100]
   # Won't be played.
   # Eventual BGM or BGS playing will fade as the graphic fade/zoom/move and
   #  will start after the popup close. Obviously not valid if using SE/ME.

   # Examples with ME, BGM, BGS:
   #  POPUP_SOUND = ["ME", "Item", 100, 100]
   #  POPUP_SOUND = ["BGM", "Town1", 100, 100]
   #  POPUP_SOUND = ["BGS", "Clock", 100, 100]
  POPUP_BINDING = 2
   # Where the popup should be binded.
   #  0: center of the screen
   #  1: over the player
   #  2: over the event
end

# Others:
#  You'll see 'town' everywhere in the script. This is because of the SECOND
#   name given to this script: "Popup town name".
#  The FIRST original name was "Location system", from this the [loc] to add in
#   event comments. By the way I never publicated the version with this name, so
#   you won't find anything.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
