Catalogue Base
Version: 1.1
Author: modern algebra
Date: October 6, 2009

Version History

<Version 1.1> 10.06.2009 - updated for an easier way to vary the size of windows. This makes it possible to have a much more dynamic design
<Version 1.0> 08.16.2009 - Original Release

Description

This script acts as a base script for my catalogue scripts, and it is required for each of those scripts. It has a number of shared classes and methods that thereby reduce unnecessary coding for those scripts.

It is, however, strictly a support script. It has no useful purpose on its own.

Features

This is really just a helper script, so it doesn't have many features worth listing. The format can be seen in the Screenshots section
It allows for easy creation of other Catalogues. All that needs to be done is to make a subclass of Catalogue_Base, and make a new Card window with the info you want to show.

Screenshots

This is what the basic format of all my catalogue scripts will be:

Instructions

No real insructions. For any script that requires this, just paste it above Main and above the scripts that require it but below the default scripts. If you wish to use it to write your own scripts, than post and I will write some instructions. But if nobody wants to, I don't want to write them all out :)

Author's Notes

I made this script to serve as a base for my own catalogue scripts (planned to make an Items & Skills Catalogue, as well as a Monster Catalogue script and possibly a Character Catalogue Script), but it's free to use if anybody else would like to make their own catalogues. :)
[/list]

This script by modern algebra is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.5 Canada License.

New Addon that will work for any and all catalogues that use this script as a base:

Show Encounter Ratio

This addon will show a small encounters window next to the description window, showing how many of the catalogue's objects are visible with relation to the total number of objects in the catalogue. It has three ways of showing this; either:

   Ratio : Shows "x / y", where x is encountered number and y is total
   Percentile: Shows "x%", where x is encountered number / total
   Raw: Shows "x", where x is encountered number

I updated the script for an easier way to modify the size of windows in the scene, making for the possibility of a much more dynamic design for the purpose of addons and special scripts.

It still works with all currently existing catalogue scripts.

Cool Script!! :?:terra::?

Whenever i copy the script from the thing into rpg maker vx it always shows up on one line instead of like 127 lines is there a way to fix this or will i have to just sort it out on my own.

SMF 2.0 codeboxes are not compatible with Internet Explorer.

Excusme ,i got a stack in line 256 ,System Stack Error ,how can i fix that ?

Can you tell me how to make it look like this?

(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi53.tinypic.com%2F6ius7k.png&hash=b7269c6f8b4498c1b72f3dc662610b9a6b818990)

The window should be called by talking to an NPC, the names on the left should be selectable,
and the biography should be formatted nicely. I saw a biography script like this but it only worked for actors. Ideally I would like it to be user friendly where I can plug in information, and the names should only be displayed after a certain variable is reached such as

if $game.variable[16] = 32 then display these names:
Ralph
King Greyhem
Hiro

if $game.variable[16] = 33 then display these names:
Ralph
King Greyhem
Hiro
Kefka

if $game.variable[16] = 32 then display these names:
Ralph
King Greyhem
Hiro
Ulrika
Kefka

and so on.. I would appreciate if you could help so much, Id even pay ya. I really want this. Thanks for reading.

If you can do this I would appreciate it, I can pay you if you'd like. :D
