KMS Generic Gauge

KMS Generic Gauge

Script by Tomy

http://ytomy.sakura.ne.jp/

 

Latest Version: 2012/08/05

 

 

Description

This script provides groundwork code for simple gauge graphics based off images placed in the Graphics/System folder. By default, this script provides gauges for HP, MP, TP, and EXP.

 

Scripters can utilize their own Generic Gauge for their own use. See the "Notes to Scripters" section below the customization section.

 

Unfortunately, Tomy chose the worst option when porting this script to VXA -- he overwrote Window_Base#draw_gauge, a default VXA method. draw_gauge did not exist in VX so using that method name back then was fine, but now VXA has draw_gauge as a default method which is what default gauges use...

  • This script now a dedicated API. This script no longer overwrites Window_Base#draw_gauge. This should mean there will be less hassle when adding generic gauges in other scripts.

Installation

Paste this script into its own page within the "Materials" section in the script editor of your project.

Download the KGC Generic Gauge Images.zip and place its contents in the \Graphics\System folder of your project.

 

How to Use

All customization is done within the customization module within the script. Please read the comments thoroughly.

 

Gauge graphics have a design guideline:

1. 24x24 - Left side of gauge background. It is not affected by gauge scaling.
   
2. 72x24 - Center of gauge background. This section is scaled horizontally.
   
3. 24x24 - Right side of gauge background. It is not affected by gauge scaling.
   
4. 72x32 - Internal gauge, overlays section 2. This section is scaled horizontally.
   

In-game example with a 30 degree slope:

So you said it's free to ask for a compatibility patch WELL THEN... I have a request! And it's my first post too, yay! ... Okay, anyways. Is it possible to make a compatibility patch for Yanflys Victory Aftermath? It's the same error as the one with YEA Battle Engine (without the patch of course ).

 

Oh and you're doing great ;D I mean, really. Yeah really. Really. ... So what about Tankent- ok joking. NO THAT REALLY WAS A JOKE OK?! ...I'm making a fool out of myself right now *coughs* But I don't really know how to end this post and I'm really tired and all... Crap. I hope nobody reads this. 'Cause it's really embarrassing but I can't stop typing. ... Oh well...... orz

Done. Patch is in the first post.

I'm a little curious.

If i were to make some gauge graphics for people to use, could i put them here, or should i just make a thread in the resource section?

[Mr. Bubble 117]

In this case, I wouldn't mind either way.

 

I suggest putting them in the resource section since they are your own creations.

[Michael Ponder Jr 36]

In that case, i guess i can link to this topic and say what script to use them with.

May I ask for a compatibility patch? I get an error when trying to use this system with Yami's ATB battle http://yamiworld.wordpress.com/rgss3/battle-scripts/yeas-add-on/ysa-battle-system-classical-active-time-battle/

Thanks

[Michael Ponder Jr 36]

Linky linky.. http://www.rpgmakervxace.net/index.php?/topic/1090-gauge-graphics-for-kms-generic-gauge/

Graphics for use with this script, and i'm currently thinking up other styles.

[whitedahlia 1]

This is incompatible with yanflys classical ATB, any chance for a patch?

Thanks

 

Patch is in the first post. Doesn't support enemies since doesn't use any window classes and most any class dealing with graphical stuff is beyond my skill level right now.

 

Remember to state the error you get please whenever you report them. Never assume people are psychic.

 

Edit: I forgot to upload the CATB gauge images. They're in the first post now.

[Mr. Bubble 117]

Compatibility Patch for YEA System Options + KMS Generic Gauge has been made. See link in first post.

 

Also, all my patches have been consolidated into one single page on my blog.

Hey Mr. Bubble can you give your enemies gauges?

[KnF20 0]

Cool! trying this out now

[Mr. Bubble 117]

YEA Status Menu + KMS Generic Gauge compatibility patch is now available. See the first post. It is not a true compatibility patch, but it will avoid the error that occurs when the two are together.

[Max W. 18]

[LeviCore.exe 2]

What this means is that most of the Generic Gauge patches I have on my blog will be obsolete until I update them (which should be in the next 24 hours). However, in the long run, this means making compatibility patches or doing built-in compatibility for scripts will be much simpler. It's all for the better.
