Awesome! I'll definatly use this

[Nicke 150]

Make sure you grab it again, I didn't upload my latest version. Sorry

[Max Campbell 3]

Could you link me to some of your other scripts? I know that they are in your signature, but my computer won't let me open spoilers XP

Really Really ... Really cool

Never seen such quest system. I really love the way you display the rewards!

[Bunni89 85]

Cool but still not as cool as your book script, haha XD *continues to use that for all her non-questy journalling needs* Still looks to be the most visually-appealing quest menu around, so I'm definately snagging it for that!

[Wazte 4]

Wow nice job! This will come in handy

[Konora 3]

Cool! NOW I SHALL CONQUER THE WORLD WITH BOTH YOUR BOOK SCRIPT AND YOUR JOURNAL SCRIPT! ALL MY WRITEY-GAMEY NEEDS!!! BWAHAHA!!! lol sorry XD

Adding this to the new Master Script List. PM me and let me know if I miss any related scripts as I have a lot of catching up to do.

[Nicke 150]

Released a small update containing the ability to use fame as reward.

I'm confused on how to make it work I copied it to my script list but don't know where to go after that.

[Nicke 150]

Try to read the instructions

[scu11y3000 0]

I've tried like how do you get it to show up?

[regendo 204]

As taken from the instructions:

Paste this into a script call in an event.

SceneManager.call(Scene_Journal)

[scu11y3000 0]

I honestly don't know what a script call is im such a noob

[regendo 204]

On the third tab of event commands, advanced -> "Script..."

[scu11y3000 0]

Oh okay I figured that out I put this in there.  SceneManager.call(Scene_Journal)

                                                                       journal(:investigation)

 

But it doesn't work.

[regendo 204]

It should in theory as long as you didn't remove the :investigation entry from XAIL::JOURNAL::LIST.

I'll try it out and then report back.

K thanks really want to get this working.

[Shadowmaster9000 57]

Any possible chance of updating this with the ability to use strings for the journal command names please? Cause I want to want use more complicated names than what the current system allows me to. X___x

[regendo 204]

scu-something: This works perfectly fine for me. It doesn't even matter if you put the journal method before or after the scene call.

 

Shadowmaster: This actually already works, although it may not be obvious. For example, you can set your journal entry up with "ruby_madness" instead of :ruby_madness, or with "Fetching of Doom".to_sym instead of :fetching_of_doom.

Then you can use

journal("ruby_madness")

and

journal("Fetching of Doom".to_sym)

to add the entries to your journal. Remember that this is case-sensitive (meaning a != A). Also, your strings will still be capitalized. If you don't like this behaviour, you will simply have to erase the

.cap_words

from the end of line 267 (the line number will differ if you added your own journal entries; it's the line beginning with name = in your draw_details method).

Thanks!

i was wondering, how hard would it be to turn the "Quest Failed" section of the journal into a "Side Quest" section? 

[Hermawan 1]

I've already install this scripts. But I couldn't find "Journal" menu at my menu. Any clue?

 

Im new to this RPG maker FYI

 

Thanks.

You gotta add it as a command to the menu, it doesn't do that automatically. Place this script as a new script under the Journal Script.

 

class Window_MenuCommand < Window_Command
  alias :my_add_main_commands :add_main_commands
  def add_main_commands
    my_add_main_commands
    add_command("Journal", :journal, main_commands_enabled)
  end
end

class Scene_Menu < Scene_MenuBase
  alias :my_create_command_window :create_command_window
  def create_command_window
    my_create_command_window
    @command_window.set_handler(:journal, method(:journal))
  end
  
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * [Journal] Command
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def journal
    SceneManager.call(Scene_Journal)
  end
end

 

 

That should do it, let me know how it goes.
