    PAC Main Menu
    Version: 1.7d
    Author: Pacman
    Date: 9/7/2012

    Version History


    • <Version 1.7d> 2012.7.9 - Bugfix.
    • <Version 1.5/1.7c> 2011.10.27 - Added ring mode and fixed bug
    • <Version 1.3/1.7b> 2011.9.01 - Added graphical feature and redid actor selection processing
    • <Version 1.2/1.7a> 2011.8.22 - Revamp: Redid configuration and added graphical feature
    • <Version 1.0/1.7> 2011.7.28 - Original Release

    Planned Future Versions

    • <Version anything> - More exotic and comprehensive displays.

    Description


    My first CMS. Finally. The PAC Main Menu is focused around simple customization. Only a little has been done in terms of display to the menu, the focus of the first version, 1.7, was to get the core code out of the way so I could focus more on exotic displays in later versions. Now that's been redone and finalized, I've begun focus on display work. So far, I've made two graphical 'modes' and integrated one that Cozziekuns made.

    Features

    • Easy configuration
    • Menu Icons
    • Auto-remembering command index
    • Simple support for other custom scripts
    • REALLY easy configuration.
    • Customizable, comprehensive display.
    • Revamped actor selection processing (test to see it!)
    • Bloody amazing ring menu (credit to Cozziekuns)

    Screenshots

    Spoiler for:

    From top to bottom:
    1. Compact display
    2. Compact actor selection
    3. Comprehensive display
    4. Cozzie's Ring display

    Instructions

    I'll be directing you to the instructions included in the script, conveniently situated next to the applicable configuration options.

    Script


    Too long to post, get it at PasteBin

    Credit


    • Pacman
    • Cozziekuns, if you use the ring menu

    Thanks

    • Twb6543 for helping me deal with the command index issue.
    • Modern Algebra for inspiring a display
    • LoganForrests, Cozziekuns and the almighty Zeriab for generally helping out and showing me how I can improve in Ruby.
    • Yanfly for inspiring PAC by creating YERD, YEZ and YEM.
    • Cozzy for the beautiful ring menu.
    • D&P3 for a bug report.

    Support


    Post here no matter how old the topic is, I live on these forums. I'll probably respond to PMs as well.
    If you want the compact display, but not the data of the menu (for whatever insane reason :V), find it at this thread.

    Known Compatibility Issues

    Of course, it won't work with any other menu systems. Custom scenes will probably return to the wrong index: I will post a tutorial for the new version eventually. It can get a bit problematic, so don't hesitate to ask for help. Note that this is for the old version of the script, but the same principals still apply.

    Restrictions

    Free for use in non-commercial games provided I receive credit. For commercial games, contact me via PM and I'll decide.

    Such good motivation to hear that, you have no idea. I really hope I can bust out some good designs for later versions.

    This might replace Main Menu Melody for me, Pacman.
    Oops, I came upon an error in the script:
    NoMethodError occurred while running the script
    undefined method party_menu_disabled for #<Game_Party:0x19432d8>
    Also, I am sure that you need your party script for one of these. But I love the customization power of this script.
    I might modify it to suit my needs though.

    Oh, that's because the Party menu option is included in the menu. I should post that script. Yeah. The most recent version is this:
    Code: [Select]
    #===============================================================================
    #
    # Pacman Advanced Creative (PAC) Engine - Party Management System
    # 19/6/2011
    # Type: Scene
    # Installation: Script calls.
    # Level: Average
    #
    #===============================================================================
    #
    # Description:
    # VX limits your party to having 4 members. Isn't that terrible? This script
    # won't give you more members in your party, rather be able to change them
    # throughout the game at the player's call. Read the instructions to find out
    # more.
    #
    #===============================================================================
    #
    # Instructions:
    # INSTALLATION
    # Paste above main, below materials, in the script editor (F11). Make sure you
    # save upon exiting.
    # SCRIPT CALLS
    # $data_actors[ID].found = true/false
    # Where ID is the ID of an actor in the database. This places an actor in the
    # reserves party, ready for selection by the player if true, and takes them
    # out if false.
    # $data_actors[ID].unavailable = true/false
    # Makes actor with the specified ID unavailable to the player in the reserves
    # party if true. If false, makes them available.
    # $data_actors[ID].required = true/false
    # Locks actor with specified ID to the actual party, ergo mandatory to the
    # player, if true. Unlocks the character if false.
    # For each of these calls you can use, instead of $data_actors[ID],
    # $game_party.members[position].actor.found/unavailable/required to perform
    # the action for the actor in that position in the party, starting with 0 as
    # the party leader.
    # $game_party.party_menu_disabled = true/false
    # This will change the access of the command if PAC Main Menu is being used.
    # $scene = Scene_Party.new
    # Simply calls the Party Management scene. By default, there is no menu option
    # for the party scene, but it is simple to add if you are using PAC Main Menu,
    # and still quite easy if you are using the default menu system.

    Cool script, Pacman!

    Bit of critique on the script. You could probably fit in the commands, disables and items in just one hash with an array. Kinda like:

    Code: [Select]
    COMMANDS ={
      item => [command, disable],
    }

    Also, you should probably add or link to a reference of basic RGSS2 scripting commands like, $game_temp.common_event_id = x, $game_switches[y], $game_variables[z] == value, etc.

    As promised, here's the tutorial for making scenes return to the correct index in the window. This only applies to scripts that return to the menu.
    Go in to the custom script. As an example, I'll be using Modern Algebra's quest journal. Because PAC Main Menu offers support for custom scene scripts, I'm disabling the built-in menu option for the journal to save the risk of incompatibility.
    At some point in the script, there should either be a line in the instructions telling you what the class of the scene is, or you'll have to look in the script. The line will be:
    Code: [Select]
    $scene = Class Name.new(arguments)
    If that doesn't exist, look for a class in the script that inherits from Scene_Base, by typing
    Code: [Select]
    < Scene_Base
    in the search box.
    Once you've found the class name (it's case sensitive!), put that in your commands hash and the name you want in the Items array of PAC Main Menu. This is what I've done.
    Code: [Select]
        ITEMS = [
          'Item',
          'Skill',
          'Equip',
          'Status',
          'Quests',
          'Save',
          'End Game',
        ]
        COMMAND = {
          'Item'       => '$scene = Scene_Item.new',
          'Skill'      => '$scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)',
          'Equip'      => '$scene = Scene_Equip.new(@status_window.index)',
          'Status'     => '$scene = Scene_Status.new(@status_window.index)',
          'Quests'      => '$scene = Scene_Quest.new',
          'Save'       => '$scene = Scene_File.new(true, false, false)',
          'End Game'   => '$scene = Scene_End.new',
        }
    How did I know what to put as the Quest command? I looked through the quest journal and found that Scene_Quest is the scene used to display the quests data. Now, looking through the Quest Journal again reveals that to disable menu access, we can use the call $game_system.quest_menuaccess = false. To implement that in PAC MM, go to the disables hash and add that condition to the 'Quests' command.
    Code: [Select]
        DISABLES = {
          # Disables the save menu if needed.
          'Save'     => '$game_system.save_disabled',
          # Disables the quest menu if needed.
          'Quests'  => '$game_system.quest_menuaccess',
        }
    So we can use that call to change access to the quest journal from the menu in-game. Yay.
    Adding an icon is simple enough; you just need to get the right ID. I shouldn't have to give you a tutorial on it. I'll be using ID 178, as that is the recommended one by default in the journal.
    That's all the tweaking you need to do to PAC MM, the rest is in the journal. This part's a little trickier, so don't stress if you can't do it. Post here if you need help.
    Using the search function, find a line that is called 'def return_scene'. Make sure that you're in the right class. I can see this method in the journal starting at line 1872:
    Code: [Select]
      def return_scene
        unless @list_window.quest.nil? # Save Position
          $game_system.last_quest_id = @list_window.quest.id
          $game_system.last_quest_cat = @category_index
        end
        # Exit Quest Scene
        $scene = @from_menu ? Scene_Menu.new (QuestData::MENU_INDEX) : Scene_Map.new
      end
    Brilliant. Now, there's only one thing I have to change. This line:
    Code: [Select]
    $scene = @from_menu ? Scene_Menu.new (QuestData::MENU_INDEX) : Scene_Map.new
    Now, if you try to return to the menu from the quest journal without changing this, it won't necessarily return to the correct index. To fix this, remove the argument from the Scene_Menu.new, so that it reads:
    Code: [Select]
    $scene = @from_menu ? Scene_Menu.new : Scene_Map.new
    What did that do? PAC MM automatically remembers which command index to return to unless specified not to. So, by removing that specification we've made absolutely sure it will return to the correct index. We must keep the rest of the line there or else a syntax error will be thrown.
    I hope you understand how to add a custom scene to the menu. It can get difficult, so if you have any trouble, don't hesitate to ask for help here.

    Double-posting to separate the tutorial from my response to Cozzie's post.
    Now that I do think about it, that would be easier from the user's point of view. I'll take a look at it in the next version.
    And I forgot not everyone knows about those commands. I'll add instructions for that.

    Or, for those of you who want to know NOW, in the disable hash you can even use switches and variables to determine if a command works or not. For example:
    Code: [Select]
    DISABLES = {
      'Equip' => '$game_switches[1]'
    }
    Will disable the equip option when switch 1 is on. You can use things like $game_variables[1] == 4, $game_variables[1] < 9, $game_variables[1] >= 3 to use variables in a disable command.

    Updated to 1.7a - Revamp.
    Configuration has been massively overhauled, and the display option has been added. I think that's where the configuration's going to stay. Any complaints about that?
    While we're at it, I'm looking for ideas of menu design. I'll probably take some inspiration from other CMSes, but I'd like to have original designs, and I'm too lazy to do that. So I'm at a point where I'd so just about any CMS that isn't outrageously ridiculous, and could be implemented into PAC MM.
    Anyway, enjoy.

    Updated to 1.7b. This includes one new window setting (:comprehensive) and overhauls the way actor selection is handled. If you come out of a scene that required actor selection, back into the menu, it will automatically begin actor selection for that command.
    Yay.

    Pacman, I switched to this wondering if there was support for common events. I want to call a common event through my menu. I am desperate not to use Melody.

    Cool stuff Pacman. Some more parts that could be fixed and optimised, but overall the menu's coming along pretty well.

    Anyways, I was in the process making a Ring Menu, and I couldn't be bothered programming in the actual menu (I just wanted to make it look prettiful), so I decided to use your framework as a shell and made an addon (yay creative commons).



    Anyways, if you were in the progress of making one I can discontinue this script or something. I just want to know if it was cool with you if I published the script.

    It would be absolutely fine if you used PAC MM as framework (as it was originally intended) for your own menu, as long as you credit me (which I know you would).
    Go for it.

    @Adon, I'll look into it. I wouldn't want you to have to use Melody (even though it's better...).

    No, Melody does not work to well with me, and my scripts. (Not just the ones I copy/pasted, the ones I made myself.) So in this case, PAC MM is better.

    I'm back.

    That is absolutely gorgeous, Cozzie. I thought about putting the command text in the middle of the ring, but that's just my preference.
    I've always hated gold windows in ring menus, they look out of place. Perhaps one of us could implement a button to toggle its openness, like the compact add-on.

    Would you mind if I implement this into the core version of the script like the other add-ons? You know I'll credit :3

    1. You're looking for the PAC Build topic. You should post there next time you have a problem with any PAC script.
    2. Try basing your script off of this. I changed one line slightly.

    # Pacman Advanced Creative (PAC) Engine - Utility Engine v1.7
    # Updated 15/6/2011

    # Installation: Configuration, script calls, tags.
    # Level: Simple, Average
    #
    #===============================================================================
    #
    # Hi! This is the PAC Utility Engine, designed to give the user more control
    # over menial things in their game. You'll find quite a few features in here,
    # but not nearly as many as PAC Battle Addons. The reason the engine is in
    # bulk now is simply for organization's sake, and to give you, the user, all
    # the instructions and configurables of the features in one place. So, with
    # the administrative side out of the way, I'll give you some instructions on
    # what to do with this script.
    #
    #===============================================================================
    #
    # INSTALLATION
    # Paste this script anywhere below materials and above main in the script editor
    # (F11) of your game. Read the instructions below on how to use the Utility
    # Engine.
    #
    #===============================================================================
    #
    # INSTRUCTIONS AND CONFIGURATION
    # Follow the instructions beside each configurable to alter the engine to your
    # liking. Make sure you read through everything to use the engine to the
    # maximum capacity.

    3. If that doesn't work, you'll have to post your copy of the script here so I can better find the error.

    Bug: ;9
    I have found that if I choose to disable access to the save option, I get an error in the default script; which actually complains about skills having no method error occur :o

    Trying it out in a new project, discovering that disabling save works fine with the default menu, but causes an error with the PAC main menu ;9
    Also no other custom script was present.

    Tried having a look through it myself, but ultimately I think it's better for the original scripter to get a handle on the problem (you would definitely know your code better than I ever could) and because you could also update the post with a fix ^-^
    Spoiler for:
    All of my scripts are totally free to use for commercial use. You don't need to ask me for permission. I'm too lazy to update every single script post I ever made with this addendum. So ignore whatever "rule" I posted there. :)

    :O

    That is odd. But I tried it out myself, and was completely astonished by the error. Thanks for picking it up. Thinking for a while, I was able to figure out that the error was coming from the Window_MenuCommand#draw_item method in PAC MM lines 505-517. What it was doing was passing the array specified for a command instead of its' assigned index, for some reason. I checked this by inserting a line "print index" at the start of the method, and I got "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ["Skills", "$scene = Scene_Skill.new(@status_window.index)", 137]". This meant that at some point I was calling the draw_item method and sending an array instead of a number ;9
    Skip forward to the Scene_Menu#pac_menu_disable_commands method (around 680 in PAC MM) and see that I was foolishly passed the array instead of simply its number. So I just changed those 2 lines ._.

    Fix is up. Thanks.

    Awesome, works fine now ;8
    (despite the fact that I have done a few scripts, I barely know anything about the default scripts and couldn't pick up on what the problem was ;9)

    By the way Pacman, your scripts are pretty innovative and definitely useful.
    Seeing as there are fuck all thank you posts on this thread (considering the viewcount), here's another one:
    Pacman is super special awesome :lol: and this script kicks ass (especially compact mode (my personal favourite)).

    Also I just discovered Pacmans weather effects a couple hours ago; can definitely say that some of my towns look a lot more pretty now ;D


    I hope that stems your motivation :)
