Item & Skills Catalogue
Version: 1.0
Author: modern algebra
Date: August 16, 2009

Version History


  • <Version 1.0> 08.16.2009 - Original Release

Planned Future Versions

No real future versions, but possibly two mutually exclusive patches:

One where if you select an item it will bring up an ordering screen and allow you to purchase the item from the catalogue (with tax). The other would be for if you also have the Grid Inventory, and it would bring up a more detailed Information window (like the one in Grid Inventory).

Description


     This script allows you to create custom catalogues containing any of the items, weapons, armors, or skills that you have encountered. Wish to make a catalogue that will show every item you've ever encountered? That can be done. Want to make a catalogue that contains all paladin equipment and/or skills, whether encountered or not? That can be done too!

     Unlike other Item Logs, this script gives you the customizability to make different item logs that can show different things. Items, weapons, armors, and skills are auto-encountered (or not, if you wish), but you can also manually encounter items with a code. All of this means that there is a lot you can do with this script if you want to, but if all of that configuration seems a bit too complicated for you than that's OK too - the script will work plug & play too.

Features

  • Can keep a nice collection record of all items
  • Can work with Items, Weapons, Armors, and Skills; even better, you can mix all of those different types of items together in the same catalogue, if you wish.
  • Vastly configurable with no set limits on catalogue objects or on what can go in a catalogue
  • automatic encounter methods that add the items to be visible as soon as they ae encountered by the player.

Screenshots



Instructions

Please see the header of the script, as well as the Editable Regions for instructions.

Script


The code is too long. Please see the attached text document. Note that this script requires the Catalogue Base script. Bitmap Addons is recommended.

Bug Fixes

Spoiler for Unequip to Nothing Bug:
A bug occurs whenever you try to unequip a weapon or armor and not replace it. To fix it, paste the following code into its own slot below the Item Catalogue but still above Main:

Code: [Select]
class Game_Party
  def gain_item (item, n, *args)
    unless item.nil?
      array = item_encounter_array (item)
      array.push (item.id) unless array.include? (item.id)
    end
    malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 (item, n, *args) # Run Original Method
  end
end

Hey man. Another nice script although I had a problem before my title screen came up. Says it's on line 183. System stack error. Stack level too deep. =/

Just thought I'd post incase it's a problem with the code rather than a clash with other scripts I have.

Note: I have the other catalogue script needed :)

Any help would be great.

Thanks :)

Does the demo work for you?

If so, it is probably a compatibility error. Come to think of it, it is likely an error with Monster Catalogue, as I made a silly mistake. I am updating that script to 1.0b now, so if you have it, try replacing it with the new version once I post it.

Ah it's working now! I'm not sure why's it's started working though. Must have been compatability with other scripts seeing as I've been shifting them around.

I can't be sure which script/s were messing up the Item Catalogue.

Anyways, it's still good news I guess :P

And yeh the demo worked so I doubt there was a problem with the script, afterall it's a piece of your work haha always spot on.

Cheers again :)

As soon as I get a game start, i get an error

Code: [Select]
alias malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 gain_item
  def gain_item (item, n, *args)
    # If obtaining item, add it to encountered items
    array = item_encounter_array (item)
    array.push (item.id) unless array.include? (item.id) -----> [b]This is the line thats gives me the error[/b]
    malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 (item, n, *args) # Run Original Method
  end



How can I fix this? I tried many things and it doesn't seem to fix the problem

It's likely an incompatibility with some script that overwrites the initialize method of Game_Party. Try pasting the catalogue below all of the other custom scripts you have in the editor, but still above Main.

I always put new scripts below all my other ones. Maybe if I put it up top that might help. But thanks again Modern

EDIT2: Alright, i got it to work now. But none of my items are showing up. I even gave myself the items or equipped them and they don't appear.

Well, what did you do to get it to work? If you altered that line in any way, particularly if you skipped it if array is nil, then that would result in none of the items being considered encountered.

Could you upload your Scripts.rvdata for me? I can't do anymore until I see the scripts it is conflicting with.

EDIT2: I even copied the script exactly into a new project. I bet there's a conflicting script. Either one of Yan's or another custom one i have

Yeah, there's a sort of conflict. For some reason, I never anticipated that there might be a script which calls the gain_item method with a nil argument.

I think all you need to do to fix it is check if the array is defined, so put it back at the bottom (or at least below KGC_LimitBreak) and replace the line that gave you the error with this:

Code: [Select]
    array.push (item.id) if array && !array.include? (item.id)

Alright Modern. Thanks. I'll try that and let you know how it works

EDIT: Alright, now it shows the items. That part is fixed. Now, for some reason, when I go over any item with the color, it gives an error, this time coming from Window_Base on line 158. Here's the line:
Code: [Select]
rect = Rect.new(icon_index % 16 * 24, icon_index / 16 * 24, 24, 24)

I wasn't able to reproduce that error in your project, sorry. My bet is that you don't have element icons set up though - In the Item & Skills Catalogue, you need to set up this array:


  CI_ITEM_ELEMENT_ICONS = [132, 2, 4, 14, 16, 12, 138, 137, 104, 105, 106, 107,
                           109, 110, 111, 112]

So that there is an icon for every element. If you have x elements, you need x icon indices.

It's in order, first in the array goes to the first element, second in the array goes to the second element, etc...

If you mean how do you know what index an icon in your Iconset is represented by, you can just count. First icon of the first row is 0 and it goes from left to right, then down a row, and so on. There are 16 icons in each row.

If you have a lot of icons, it would probably be worth using the Icon Preview script by woratana. You can find it in his Christmas Giftbox in the Script Database.

So the first number is Physical, then whatever, etc.. Alright.

EDIT2: I know why I kept getting that error. Mostly it was the icons. Now since i'm using KGC Equip Extension, anything thats from the standard 5 equipment slots, gives me the Window_base Error. How can I add more to the types of items?

Well, I have no guarantees, since I've never used that script. But this might work. I imagine it definitely won't work for whatever items have a kind = 6, so you might need to set up the extra equip script so that there is no first equipment type (and no items that have it)

Anyway, again this might not work, but if it doesn't I suggest you either remove the Item Catalogue or find another scripter to do it, as I am really busy with school and not willing to keep looking into it, sorry. Anyway, try doing this. Fo to the following line and add the icons you need to this as well (if you don't want icons for item type, then just give them 0s.

Code: [Select]
  CI_ITEM_KIND_ICONS = [144, 132, 52, 32, 42, 58, 133]

Once that is done, you need to go down somewhere around 610 and find this:

Code: [Select]
def draw_item_kind (kind, x, y)
    vocab = [Vocab.item, Vocab.weapon, Vocab.armor1, Vocab.armor2, Vocab.armor3, Vocab.armor4, Vocab.skill]
    text = vocab[kind]
    icon_index = ModernAlgebra::CI_ITEM_KIND_ICONS[kind]
    # Draw the kind of item
    draw_icon (icon_index, 8, 32)
    contents.font.color = Color.new (*ModernAlgebra::CI_ITEMTYPE_COLOUR)
    contents.draw_text (32, 32, 100, WLH, text)
  end

You should add the names for each type of item into here:

Code: [Select]

    vocab = [Vocab.item, Vocab.weapon, Vocab.armor1, Vocab.armor2, Vocab.armor3, Vocab.armor4, Vocab.skill]

You can split it into more than one line if you want, so like:

Code: [Select]
    vocab = [Vocab.item, Vocab.weapon, Vocab.armor1, Vocab.armor2,
      Vocab.armor3, Vocab.armor4, Vocab.skill]

Alright. Everything works perfect now. All my items appear, icons fixed, item names I'm still working on(getting a crash with that but thats ok, i'll fix it) but now, (maybe I have too many extra equips) but my "legs" slot crashes whenever I get an item that deals with legs. There's nothing for the item that would crash it, but maybe i'll figure it out when you get around to it. I'm sorry for bothering you tons on this script. And again thanks Modern. I appreciate it

If Legs are the first extra equipment type that you have set up, then:
I imagine it definitely won't work for whatever items have a kind = 6, so you might need to set up the extra equip script so that there is no first equipment type (and no items that have it)

So, in the setup for Extra Equips, try replacing "Legs" with  "" as the first element of the array and make sure no items are actually of that type. Put "Legs" as the last entry of the array and edit the corresponding items accordingly. That might work.

Hey Algebra, I love your scripts a lot, it's just that I get some error messages sometimes, like this one:

Script "Skill Item Book" Line 338: No Method Error Occurred
Undefined Method 'include?' for nil:NilClass

I get it every time I equip and dequip weapons and armors even when I don't have the Weapon and Armor Catalogue in my Inventory. What do I do?

Hmm, that is a problem. To fix it, that method:

Code: [Select]
  alias malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 gain_item
  def gain_item (item, n, *args)
    # If obtaining item, add it to encountered items
    array = item_encounter_array (item)
    array.push (item.id) unless array.include? (item.id)
    malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 (item, n, *args) # Run Original Method
  end

should be changed to:

Code: [Select]
  alias malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 gain_item
  def gain_item (item, n, *args)
    # If obtaining item, add it to encountered items
    unless item.nil?
      array = item_encounter_array (item)
      array.push (item.id) unless array.include? (item.id)
    end
    malgbra_basecatlogue_gnitem_7ff7 (item, n, *args) # Run Original Method

I've noticed that when using this (and your monster catalog script) with your FSCMS script, when you back out of either, it leaves the menu altogether. Is there any way to fix this so you go back to the menu?
