Yanfly Menu Engine - Aligning actor status texts

[RaZzi]

Oh just changed the x, not the width, because the width is like how many spaces you're wlling to give to the text. : p

Instead of

draw_actor_class(actor, dx + 290, dy, dw)try

draw_actor_class(actor, dx + 270, dy, dw)

This only changes the text position to left, it does'nt change the LVL text width (LVL text width is the problem).

Awesome that you take the time to make that custom script. Thank you for your time helping me

 

[Mike]

Did you change the width back to 24 and still got that problem?

Gimme 5 mins. for that sprite on menu.

Edit: Haven't tested it yet, but done.

Edit: Forgot to tell you, put the picture inside the Your_Project_Name_Here/Graphics/System

Edit: Put this right under the material.

Changing width 24 makes the text draw few pixels under the rightside border.

FIXED: Added -3 to this line : draw_text(x + counter -3, y, 24, line_height, actor.level, 2)

Your script draws the border only once above Le Frog. I tried it right after Materials and after Yanfly's menu engine.

btw, Should'nt that script be inside that Yanfly's menu engine?

 

[Mike]

It's a stand alone since based on the result you're telling me, no error has occurred. You can put them inside yanfly engine, and see how it worked.

Could you provide me with a screenshot of how and where the sprite is drawn? I need to visualize the position.

 

[Kes]

I've been following this with great interest but with all the amendments and corrections I'm now unsure what's in and what's out. When it's finalized would it be possible for you to post a 'clean' version?

Thanks

So uhm... you mean the border thing or the visual style of the menus and my positionings with full name showing? 

@Mike: Here's screenshot with the border image drawn at the top. I've marked it with red color.

Decided to show some sneakpeek of the characters of my game if people are actually following this thread

 

[Kes]

Well, both actually.  I really like what you've done with the menus and, btw, think your characters look brilliant.  Can't wait to see more of this game.

This is what the Yanfly Menu Engine script part looks like at the moment (use find on the script editor and search for window_base inside Yanfly's menu engine):

  end

end # Window_Base  

You can find the Mikes border addon for it above but it is'nt integrated and optimized fully yet.

Keep in mind those settings are for screen resolution 640 x 480.

Since these wonderful people are doing this for free, I will release the full script part when we've finished it for the sake of the community.

And credit Mike (If Mike wants to be credited...?) and Hollow since they are mainly the reason we are this far with this

You can see more of my game from the links of my signature.

 

[Mike]

I don't really mind whether I got credited or not since I didn't even spend an hour on this. .-.

Hum, I see where the sprite is located.

Check this thread again in 5-10 mins.

Edit: Play around with the y coordinate

Thats it. I think its done. I redid the border image and played around with the script values to get the images show in the right position. I'm happy with the results.

Here are the finished scripts with the values I'm using on 640 x 480 resolution.

Here is screenshot (I added some variations of my classes to show the menu in its full effect. Some characters use Rage instead of MP and some characters use health instead of rage or mana. Rage works like TP. I also stepped on poison tile on purpose to get state icons to the screenshot as well):

Spoiler

Edit: Lols, one slight error still remains... "Rage" is shrinked. Couldn't get it fixed..

 

[Kes]

Thanks for posting the clean version.  That's very helpful.

 

[RaZzi]

Tried few ways to correct the "TP" font shrink but came up with nothing. You can see the error in the font in that last screenshot. Pain-Da Alepaw uses TP (which is named RAGE in this game) and the font shrinks a bit. How to fix that so it doesn't shrink at all?

It just makes the TP gauge to go beyond the border on the right so it doesn't work.

 

[Mike]

Haha, lazy fix doesn't work it seems.

K, try this one. It's less lazier.

def draw_actor_tp(actor, x, y, width = 124) draw_gauge(x, y, width, actor.tp_rate, tp_gauge_color1, tp_gauge_color2) change_color(system_color) draw_text(x, y, text_size(Vocab::tp_a).width, line_height, Vocab::tp_a) change_color(tp_color(actor)) draw_text(x + width - 42, y, 42, line_height, actor.tp.to_i, 2) endPut it inside
