# Cozziekuns Simple Skill Sort Inventory
# Last Date Updated: 6/01/2010
#
# This skill inventory allows you to sort your items in the categories: All,
# Damage, Healing and Status. You can even make your own categories, if that's
# how you roll.
#
#===============================================================================
# Updates
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# o 06/26/10 - Created Script.
# o 10/17/10 - Added the virutally infinite commands function, and cleaned up
#              the script.
#===============================================================================
# What's to come?
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# o Nothing! Suggest something.
#===============================================================================
# Instructions
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below ? Materials but above ? Main. Remember to save.
#
# Change the modules to your liking. The "hard" parts have instructions of their
# own.

module COZZIEKUNS
  module SSSI
    CATEGORY_TEXT = "Category:"
   
#===============================================================================
# Extra Skill Categories
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Each item in the hash represents a certain category. For example, the first
# hash we see here is:
#
#  0 => [21, "All", false],
#
# The syntax of this is:
#
# Category ID => [Icon Number, Text, Prime],
#
# Probably the most important part, the category ID is the number you want to
# put into the notebox that the item contains. For example, if you wanted to
# make the skill "Teleport" into the category 4, you would put:
#
# \skill_category[4]
#
# into the notebox. Note that numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 are special. They're prime
# categories. Sound special right? Not really, this just means you have to have
# them in the inventory for this script to work. I could've gotten rid of them,
# but that would've just given more work on your part (and mine), so bear with
# them, please. Icon Numbers and Text are pretty self explanatory.
#
# Last, but not least, is the "Prime" function. Setting this to "true" means
# that anything in the prime category will not show up in the item, weapon or
# armour categories. You can set if you want it to show up in all.

• cozziekuns

• Kyriaki, for requesting, and giving me some ideas.

---

Just post down here.


Obviously won't work with any custom skill inventory scripts.

---

See attached.


:ccby:

Thank you very much once again, it works perfectly. :)

Bump of a relatively old and dead script.

Updated to v. 1.1, something I've been procrastinating and forgot about till Kyraiki reminded me. Thanks Kyraiki.

Thank you!! It might be old and dead to the forum but I love it very much!

Hi cozziekuns,

Is it possible to have this Skill-Sorting feature applied to the Skills Screen in Battle?
E.g. When I select "Skills" in the command window in battle, the Skills screen shows up but with the 'Categories section' of your script fitted somewhere above the Skills-list.

Thanks, if it can be done.

Never mind, I managed to do it.
I think I'm supposed to create a script instead of modifying the default ones...but...I don't know how to script and this is my first modification.

Anyways, this is what I did to Scene_Battle around line 403 (additions/removals in green/red respectively):

Quote

  # * Start Skill Selection
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def start_skill_selection
    @help_window = Window_Help.new
    #@skill_window = Window_Skill.new(0, 56, 544, 232, @active_battler)
    @skill_window = Window_Skill.new(0, 112, 544, 304, @active_battler)
    @category_width = COZZIEKUNS::SSSI::SKILL_CATEGORY_WIDTH
    @category_window = Window_SkillCategory.new(544 - @category_width, 56, @category_width)
    @sort_window = Window_SkillSort.new(0, 56, 544 - @category_width)
    @skill_window.help_window = @help_window
    @actor_command_window.active = false
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * End Skill Selection
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def end_skill_selection
    if @skill_window != nil
      @skill_window.dispose
      @skill_window = nil
     
      @category_window.dispose
      @category_window = nil
      @sort_window.dispose
      @sort_window = nil
     
      @help_window.dispose
      @help_window = nil
    end
    @actor_command_window.active = true
  end

The modifications above allows the Skill Category to be shown in the Battle menu when selecting Skill.
Thanks for this amazing script cozziekuns.

Btw, it'll be nice if someone can tell me what to do to get the same effect without modifying the RMVX default Scene_Battle script. I do have tags that let me know what I added, but I know it is poor scripting.

Well sorry for getting to you a bit late, but I'm glad you could figure it out yourself. There probably is a way to get the same effect, but I'm pretty sure that you'll have to change Scene_Battle regardless.

Well, I finally figured out how to place the changes I made into your script and it worked great. I had to $category/sort_window.dispose and set to nil to remove the windows.

I need some help with the same Scene_Battle modifications I did to the Skill Inventory. I believe I left out the ability to toggle through the categories! Lol.
I'm wondering if someone (maybe Cozziekuns) can add the Scene_Battle properly please? I tried on my own, but I can't program with Ruby.

Also, I'm pretty sure someone here has heard of Ziifee's Wait Gauge Battle system. I'm trying to get rid if the default skill_window that shows up with Ziifee's system and use Cozziekuns' Skill Inventory instead.
Can someone help me with that please? (I can post a link to his system if anyone wants). I guess if it can work with YEM Battle Engine Melody I may use that instead of Ziifee's WGB.

Thanks,
Seiryuki

If anyone is here, i am having a problem. I will tell you the error:

Script 'Item Categories' (what i called it) error Line 315 SyntaxError

I need someone to tell me how to fix it.

Copy the script again or post what YOU have here in code tags. [-code-][-/code-] without the dashes.
If you didn't edit it, it's very odd because nobody else got the error. It may be an incompatibility error, but it's unlikely for a syntax error. Line 315 should be:
def update
Make sure you have that there. If you don't recopy the script from the original post.
