Gab Manager

-Tsukihime

 

The original gab window script says this

 

 

These script calls can only be used from a map. The Gab Window will not appear in battle or anywhere else.

So I added a gab window to every scene.

Script: http://db.tt/EM8xWrro

Required: Gab Window

 

Usage

 

Show a gab window by calling

 

 

 

 

SceneManager.show_gab(args)

Instructions for what the gabs are can be found in the gab window script.

 

You can choose where to position the gab window by super'ing the `create_gab_window` method in your own scene classes and setting the x and y values.

 

Example

 

With the Gab Manager is it very easy to add extra gabs everywhere.

 

 

Of course, you need to fine-tune the window and gab and overall looks, but you probably would be doing that anyways.

 

This piece of code accomplishes the above:

 

 

 

 

class Scene_Shop < Scene_MenuBase

  def create_gab_window
    super
    @gab_window.x = 150
    @gab_window.y = -10
  end

  alias :scene_gabs_do_buy :do_buy
  def do_buy(number)
    text = sprintf("Purchased %d %s for %d %s!", number, @item.name, buying_price*number, Vocab::currency_unit)
    SceneManager.show_gab(text, 0)
    scene_gabs_do_buy(number)
  end

  alias :scene_gabs_do_sell :do_sell
  def do_sell(number)
    text = sprintf("Sold %d %s for %d %s!", number, @item.name, selling_price*number, Vocab::currency_unit)
    SceneManager.show_gab(text, 0)
    scene_gabs_do_sell(number)
  end
end

whoa... i only put in one scene(and in rough way) and you made it possible in all scene... nice one .

and it's only by adding it in scene_base... of course... it's parent of all scene. why don't i think about that before. .

 

but i think you should put yanfly addon in topic title. so people will now it's add on to yanfly gab window script tsuki.

Is it possible that the shop example should actually spell

Scene_Shop < Scene_MenuBase

 

?

(You have Scene_Base, which provokes a superclass mismatch error.)

Quick question - is it possible to have the name of the map (when you enter a new map) appear in a gab window instead of the default method?  Thanks.

How would I get the gab message to appear  at the bottom of the screen instead of the top?

[Tsukihime 1,489]

def create_gab_window
  super
  @gab_window.x = 150
  @gab_window.y = -10
end

Those are the positions play around with the values and see how they work.

I think yanfly had a script for that based on the gab manager but I am not sure.

Alright, thanks.

How is this different from YF Gab window? http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/field-scripts/gab-window/

I notice a lot of similarity to function in a lot of your others codes too. Not just in comparison to YF but Japanese coders as well.

If you would read, it's an add on for that script you linked to... to make it work in all scenes, not just the map...

It is not unthinkable that two or more people might come up with the same idea or the same implementation, especially if it a small script.

 

Someone once PM'd me accusing me of plagiarizing a whole bunch of scripters from all sorts of places and not leaving any credits whatsoever. This included scripts from XP/VX and japanese scripts that I've never seen before. Apparently I'm supposed to be crediting the original person who came up with the idea and it is my responsibility to see whether any of these scripts have already been written or not. Too much work, I'd rather "plagiarize" than try to find the original script.

 

Of course, the scripts themselves were written differently, but all that mattered was that I "stole ideas" without proper attribution.

Dropbox link is dead; using that platform without proper backup was a reeeeeaaalllly bad idea...
(hindsight is 20/20-marking this as a dead script to be reuploaded if anyone has it)
