RMMV YEP Job Points, moving the Job Points name and Icon?

[ZCSully]

Hi I just wanted to ask a quick question before I get off here for the night, I just started using YEP Job Points (and Stat Allocation) and I just want to move the Job Points from the base location to the left of TP like where AP is located! Is there a way to achieve this?


I toggled AP off because I don't like it but in the next picture you can see how it overlaps with the subclass name!



Thanks for your time in advance!

Great question. I was wondering this myself. The only way I found is messing with .js file itself.

If you modify this line in Window_Base part of the file, you can change position of name and icon:
this.drawTextEx(JpText, wx, wy);

wx = x-axis, wy = y-axis. If you type something like
this.drawTextEx(JpText, 290, 108);
you can get this:


Obviously, you need to input your own numbers.

Yeah this works great thank you! It's just the other characters end up losing their job points until you enter like the class or skill change menu, did you find this result too?

EDIT: I think all of the actors values are overlapping in that first screen, there has to be a code to seperate them or something?

I wont directly change the drawTextEx function if wx,wy is specified!

you can do better var wx = x-axis to => var wx = 290; // x-axis

that way, you keep the drawTextEx intact and keep their function with
hardcoded number, but if x-axis is set in the parameter, change it there instead.

Wow that is actually a lot better just so I don't screw with the actual code!
The problem still persists where the Job Points (RM in my game) overlaps though? It just seems to not register on the other actor windows with the new parameters?
It looks normal on the top one since they both have 0 RM right now:

depends on the X numbers you use there, as the status in devided
in 3 sections ([face]. [name, level], [classname, gauges]) where
JP is added next to the class, you can change this, but you need
probably a bit more to get the formula correctly to calculate the width
and height correctly, based on numbers.

I cannot really help you there, but you get the point

Thank you so much for your help I hope I can figure it out from here and I will get back to you

Well...yes. You're giving the function a static value, print it at 290, 108. That's a specific spot on your screen. So everything you tell to print on that specific spot will...print at that specific spot

If you don't want them all to print in the same place, then you need to do what the original code did and calculate the x and y based on which actor in the list it is. If you want it inline with SP, then find where the coordinates for TP are determined and use that Y value.

That's on line 2481 of Yanfly's Core Engine, and the Y value is + this.lineHeight() * 3 so try that.

this.drawTextEx(JpText, wx, wy+this.lineHeight()*3);

That actually did seem to move it down to the next actor in a nice spot, but they still overlap. When I look in the Core Engine I see that it says

this.draw[B]Actor[/B]Tp([B]actor[/B], x2, y + lineHeight * 3, width2);

Could using Actor inside the syntax designate them to go into each actor's rectangle?
tried this and it did not work haha oh well, time to keep searching

Okay, so the suggestion from @Prince_Eric was well-intentioned but had a few errors.

One is the idea of using static coordinates.

The other is it appears to be quoting the wrong line of code. The code in his post (with JpText as an argument) is down in the Gained JP in the victory screen. That's not what you're asking to modify.

To do what you want, change line 684 to read

    this.drawActorJp(actor, classId, wx-Window_Base._faceWidth, wy+this.lineHeight()*3, ww, 'left');

then change line 693 to read

      wx = wx;

This displays properly in my project.

This shows exactly where I want it to show! Does yours overlap? Mine still does




(I just put a chest with some XP to make the number higher then 0)

Note that the focus here has been on the "simple status" block found on the pause menu, skill screen, etc. But the status screen has a different layout, so you may want an alternative for that one.

Suggestion based on default layouts (untested):

;void (function(alias) {
  Window_Base.prototype.drawActorJp = function(actor, id, wx, wy, ww, align) {
    // Shift left by "face width" px, down by 3 lines, and align left.
    alias.call(this, actor, id, wx - Window_Base._faceWidth, wy + this.lineHeight() * 3, ww, "left");

No - as I said in my post, it displays correctly for me. The only way you can have something overlapping is if you're still referencing a static number someplace instead of a variable (wy).

You may want to replace your plugin file with a copy of the original in case you edited a line someplace and forgot to undo the change.

If you're not looking at this in the Escape menu (or if you want a similar layout in the Status screen), you may also want to just implement caethyril's plugin.

Note that the focus here has been on the "simple status" block found on the pause menu, skill screen, etc. But the status screen has a different layout, so you may want an alternative for that one.

Y'know, I never look at the status screen, so I pretty much forget that it exists and has its own layout

THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH @ATT_Turan @caethyril I will report the thread now as my issue is fixed I definetely left some edit in the base code that was causing it to still overlap!

Great!
