[VXAce][Zerbu Engine - Extra Starting Position Option] Make the option be above "Quit".

Hi.

So, I'm using the Extra Starting Position Option script from Zerbu to test some proof of concept and I wanted to know if it's possible to move the title screen command to be above the "Quit" option, or even maybe put it wherever position I wanted in the list, because the default position is at the bottom of the list, and that's kinda counterintuitive for the concept I wanted to make.

I basically wanted to do this:

​

So, can you guys help me in this one?
Thanks in advance.

 

Title command code here (aka make_command_list) is no longer aliased, be careful with using other Window_TitleCommand scripts.

Code:

#============================================================================
# Zerbu Engine - Extra Starting Position Option
# (Edited by ZirconStorms, credit optional.)
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This script adds an extra "New Game" type option to the menu that allows you
# to specify a different starting location. This is good for creating

module ZE_Extra_Starting_Position_Option
 ZE_ESPO = {
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Options
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is the text that will appear on the title screen.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
:NAME => "Tutorial",
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is the number for the map the player should start on when the
# extra option is selected.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
:MAP => 3,
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is the X and Y position the player should start at when the
# extra option is selected.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
:MAP_X => 0,
:MAP_Y => 0,
 }
end

 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 def make_command_list
    add_command(Vocab::new_game, :new_game)
    add_command(Vocab::continue, :continue, continue_enabled)
    add_command(ZE_ESPO[:NAME], :espo)
    add_command(Vocab::shutdown, :shutdown)
  end
 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
end

Thanks @ZirconStorms , but that didn't really help much considering I've other title commands that aren't in the new make_command_list that you've made. The "Options" command added by the Sixth's Global Setting Addon and the "Continue" command added by the CSCA Autosave Plus.
So, I've had to make my own.
Basically speaking I've just added a add_command(Vocab::shutdown, :shutdown) below the add_command(ZE_ESPO[:NAME], :espo) command and deleted any other entry that had the shutdown title command. I don't know if it was the right thing to do but it solved my problem.

​

I guess the thread can be closed now, unless someone has a better way to solving this.

 

Not exactly a nice way to word that. SPECIFY the scripts you want any requests to be compatible with next time.

 

Yes, you're right on that. I'm terribly sorry for not being more clearer.
Is there a way to make these three scripts run together? Like I said, if there's a better alternative, I'll be happy to fix it right away since I've made a backup of the modifications I've made.

 

next time, you can do something like this

Code:

  alias aliased_make_command make_command_list
  def make_command_list
    aliased_make_command # <-- no overwrite
    hash = { 
      :name => "Command Name"
      :symbol => :symbolhere, 
      :enabled=> true, 
      :ext=> nil
    }
    @list.insert(@list.size - 2, hash) # <-- the key is here
  end

 

I don't think I understand what I'm supposed to do with this, Theo.
Like, I just have to put the command name, but what are the symbols? Like, :shutdown? :new_game? Will it even work with the ones that are not from the base scripts?
And what is :ext?
The list.size needs to be altered to 6, right? Since I'm using six commands.
Do I have to alter anything else? If that's it, then I'm going to try it out.

 

Sorry, I meant that for @ZirconStorms
In your case, @CarlosDavilla

Keep the original Zerbu's script, then add this patch below the script

Code:

class Window_TitleCommand
 def make_command_list
  ze_espo_make_command_list
  hash = { :name => ZE_ESPO[:NAME], :symbol => :espo, :enabled => true, :ext => nil)
  @list.insert(@list.size - 1, hash)
 end
end

Zerbu's script may need to be placed below all the scripts that alters title screen menu though

I'm not exactly sure if it's

Code:

@list.size - 1
OR
@list.size - 2

you can try.

 

Nice, it worked just fine. Thanks once again, Theo.

Though I've had to change the parenthesis for a bracket at the end of the 4th line, since using like you shared caused a CTD.
It should look like this now:

Code:

class Window_TitleCommand
 def make_command_list
  ze_espo_make_command_list
  hash = { :name => ZE_ESPO[:NAME], :symbol => :espo, :enabled => true, :ext => nil }
  @list.insert(@list.size - 1, hash)
 end
end

But hey, it worked nonetheless. Thanks for the help guys.
