Hi everyone !

 

~IB-like Menu~

 

Author : Biwy

License : None. Just ask for commercial use.

 

Description :

A long time ago, a friend requested me a script : an IB-like menu.

 

Features :
- display a image for the backgroung

- shows some items of the inventory thanks to images

- a character's life, like a flower (it's just an image)

 

Screens :

 

Requires :

You will need 3 images :
- HP_BAR : which is the flower (the life bar). She goes up to bottom.
- HP_BAR_BACK : which is the the life bar "background"
- MenuBack : which is the background image

 

Of course, you will need an image for each item you want to display. You just have to put an image with the item's name in the Graphics/System folder.

 

Scripts :

Link here.

 

Known issues : None. Tell me if you find one.

 

Hope you will like it !

Thank you! I just hope I don't lose track of this before I can make use of it.
How does the flower/life-bar work? Could the flower be replaced with say...a sword, wand, or a spellbook?

Thank you so much! Exactly what I wanted! Thank you!!!

Though, is it possible to use without the health?

The flower is just an image so you can replace it with what you want !

 

I didn't add an option to disable the health ? Sorry I will do it today.

But if you want to do it now, just delete the line "create_life" in the start method and "dispose_life" in the terminate method.

Enjoy^^

I'm afraid I'm not quite understanding.

 

Do you mean it is a static image and only the number overlaying it changes to indicate the character's current health points?

 

I was kind of under the initial impression that the image basically filled up like a health bar to indicate the percentage of total health remaining to the character.

That's it. The flower is the health bar but it's an image so you can replace it (by a sword or something else, as you want) !

[Cadh20000 249]

How does that work? It just seems like an image file would either be there or not there rather than filling up different amounts.

[Biwy 26]

It works like that :
100% health :

~60% health :

 

(The number on the screen has no effect)

It's possible to shade regions of an image.

Okay.Thank you for the explanation. That is what I was hoping for!

Ah, thank you very much!

Wait, but how can I add items to the menu?

I added the script command 'menu_item(id)' and the error says that a picture is needed? How big does it have to be?

[Biwy 26]

Of course, you will need an image for each item you want to display. You just have to put an image with the item's name in the Graphics/System folder.

 

And the images are like you want.

Hi,

 

Is there anyway to add a save function ? Like a button, or a keyboard shortcut, or anything else ?

Anyway, thanks for your work !

[Biwy 26]

Yeah it's possible. Just a save button or an access to the save menu?

An access to the save menu would be more user-friendly, I think, but harder to make, right ? Do the most easy for you .

[RevengeOfShadow 0]

Up !

[Biwy 26]

Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't notice I haven't done it yet (I was in an exam period too..).

Here it is. I have add an access to the save menu, as you asked for !

[RevengeOfShadow 0]

Thank you very much ! This is a really great job =).

Thank you so much for this! This is exactly what I've been looking for to use in my horror game. I'll make sure to put your username in the credits

HI,

As mentioned over skype I seem to have an issue with items not showing in the menu when I load the game

this only happens if I close the game and then run it again and try an load. If i just restart the game with F12 all items are shown.

 

Anyone else seen this/know if I've missed something?

 

Also I use a conmen event to handle saves:
