[RESOLVED] Simple CMS

This isn't too hard, I don't think.  There's a rough draft attached, but if it's messed up or not descriptive enough, here's what I want in words.  Also, I have everying thing except the CMS and the Options, and I'm requesting one of those here, so here goes:

In the top-right:  The Status window from the DMS
On the bottom, below the Status Window:
  Left: Gold
  Center: playtime
  Right: Steps
On the right, the menu selection thing, that has the following:
  Inventory
  Skills
  Equip
  Status
  Party
  Quest
  Save
  Load
  Option
  Close

And that's it.  Hopefully someone can do this for me (and get full credits), or at least explain to me how to do it.

I can do it, I think.

Is this a one-person CMS? or would you allow scrolling through multiple party members?

The status window is the same one from the normal men screen, that's why I said "Status window fro mthe DMS."  DMS does stand for Default Menu Screen, right? 
Sorry if that sounded a little harsh.

OH, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant the status window for a single player, not MenuStatus. Yeah, okay, I will start on it now.

Can I have the class names for the non-default scripts?


Also, what do you want "Close" to do. I assumed you want it to close the menu screen, but then you have no Exit Game option, so I began to doubt that interpretation.

And, this will require some resizing of the MenuStatus Window. That Ok?

@First Request:  Yep, everything except Options, but I can probably script that in myself (I'm not totally helpless) Party: $scene = Scene_PartySwitcher.new, Quest: $scene = Scene_Quest.new

@Second Request: Send it back to the map, why would you add an option for closing the game when you can press X?

@Third Request: Yep.  That's fine.

Thanks for the help, I understand the concept of scripts but not how to make them work.

Okay, all done. Tell me if you have any problems with it

Okay, everything works just fine, except the Quests- its not your fault, its mine.  I need something added to the Quest command so that I can turn it on/off, please.

P.S.: I repped you- my first one, just got that privilege 

Alright, no problem:

Try inserting this:

Code: [Select]

    # If Quest is disabled
    if $quest_disabled == true
      # Disable quest
      @command_window.disable_item(5)
    end


right after this:

Code: [Select]

    if $game_party.actors.size == 0
      # Disable items, skills, equipment, status, and party
      @command_window.disable_item(0)
      @command_window.disable_item(1)
      @command_window.disable_item(2)
      @command_window.disable_item(3)
      @command_window.disable_item(4)
    end


Now, to disable, just use a call script with this:

Code: [Select]

$quest_disabled = true

And to enable, use this:

Code: [Select]

$quest_disabled = nil

Thanks, Modern.  I do't have time tlo try it right now, but I looked over it and I'm pretty sure it'll work now.

EDIT:  Yep, works perfectly.  Thanks again.

No problem, I'm glad I could help
