VXACE - GALV's Invader Mini Game Modification for HUD Image

[DoctorArtist]

Hey there, needed a short little modification to GALV's Invader Minigame script. Basically, I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to add an extra image between the backdrop image and the score/health/power-up section. Basically, so I can put an image between those two layers to act as a HUD of sorts.

I don't quite get RUBY coding enough to do it myself, but I'd assume it'd take maybe five or six lines of coding to throw that in there, right?

Link to GALV's Invader Minigame: https://galvs-scripts.com/2013/03/18/invader-mini-game/

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Also, I got Galv's permission to go to these forums to ask for help in this matter, go to the comments on that link and you'll find where he says to do just that because he's too busy to work on it.

My bad! Thank you very much. I actually thought I put it into requests and not directly into scripts. Whoopsies.

I know right? I've customized the background and I'm going to customize the ships soon too, but the HUD would be amazing to edit. I saw somewhere that someone had done it for a Final Fantasy-based game, saw a screenshot and they had figured it out, so it IS possible

What's the name of the game that did it?

I would have liked to see what it looked like. I don't see a picture of the invader mini game.

There's the direct link to the picture's entry on that game page, and here's the actual picture itself.

There you go:

Spoiler

class Scene_Invaders < Scene_Base

  def init_back_new
    @back_new = Sprite.new
    @back_new.bitmap = Cache.space("filename_here") # Set the filename here
    @back_new.x = 0 # X position
    @back_new.y = 0 # Y position
    @back_new.z = 0 # Z level
    @back_new.opacity = 255 # Opacity ( from 0 to 255 )
  end
 
  alias add_back7725 create_backdrop
  def create_backdrop
    add_back7725
    init_back_new
  end
 
  alias disp_back9926 dispose_graphics
  def dispose_graphics
    disp_back9926
    @back_new.bitmap.dispose
    @back_new.dispose
  end
 
end

Put this right below Galv's mini-game script.
Change the filename to whatever name your image got. It is loaded from the same folder all the other images are in.

Awesome @Sixth , works well. Now I just realized that there are undisposed graphics in the original script. Need to figure that out.

Spoiler: not disposed? argh.

Thanks a bunch! This is amazing!
Here's what I've worked on so far when it comes to the code you wrote for this. Again, I cannot thank you enough, you've opened the doors to limitless possibilities.

There's undisposed graphics in the original, eh? How interesting, I never knew that! o.o
