My Edited Status Screen

I decided to post my changes in the Window_Status script, so you can get a very cool Status Screen.

First, have this script. Name it Face

Code: [Select]

def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y)
face = RPG::Cache.character("Faces/" + actor.character_name, actor.character_hue)
fw = face.width
fh = face.height
src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, fw, fh)
self.contents.blt(x - fw / 23, y - fh, face, src_rect)
end

Then, In Window_Status, find first this line.

Code: [Select]

draw_actor_graphic(@actor, 40, 112)

Change it to.

Code: [Select]

draw_actor_face(@actor, 150, 470)

For this, I recommend to have your battler as face. Name the face the same as the character et you are using.

Then, on this lines.

Code: [Select]

self.contents.draw_text(320, 48, 80, 32, "Exp")
self.contents.draw_text(320, 80, 80, 32, "Next Level")
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(320 + 80, 48, 84, 32, @actor.exp_s, 2)
self.contents.draw_text(320 + 80, 80, 84, 32, @actor.next_rest_exp_s, 2)
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.draw_text(320, 160, 96, 32, "Equipment")
draw_item_name($data_weapons[@actor.weapon_id], 320 + 16, 208)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor1_id], 320 + 16, 256)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor2_id], 320 + 16, 304)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor3_id], 320 + 16, 352)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor4_id], 320 + 16, 400)

Change it to.

Code: [Select]

self.contents.draw_text(420, 48, 80, 32, "Exp")
self.contents.draw_text(420, 80, 80, 32, "Next Level")
self.contents.font.color = normal_color
self.contents.draw_text(420 + 80, 48, 84, 32, @actor.exp_s, 2)
self.contents.draw_text(420 + 80, 80, 84, 32, @actor.next_rest_exp_s, 2)
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.draw_text(480, 160, 96, 32, "Equipment")
draw_item_name($data_weapons[@actor.weapon_id], 420 + 16, 208)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor1_id], 420 + 16, 256)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor2_id], 420 + 16, 304)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor3_id], 420 + 16, 352)
draw_item_name($data_armors[@actor.armor4_id], 420 + 16, 400)

And it should look like this.


Tell me if it's something that dosen't work.

Credits to Sephirothspawn for The Bars scritp wich is seperate from this script.

very nice
it looks good

but you are using a script separate for the bars rite?

I have another script for the bars. I have sephirothspawn Slanted SP,Hp and exp bars script.

yeah, you should mention/give credit or ppl will wonder why their status doesn't have bars if/when they use this

I will fix that.

Nice status screen, it looks good

Thx. I thought the old one was so boring, so I began to experiment to make it more special. And it also builded up my scripting skills...

I have just ONE minor suggestion

don't cut off the top of the head like that
it's a bad cutoff point, drop it at least enough to show the rest of the head

Yeah, I took a look on that. If you want to change it, just change.

Code: [Select]

draw_actor_face(@actor, 150, 450)

Into

Code: [Select]

draw_actor_face(@actor, 150, 470)

yeah I know how to do that, hehe

* NAMKCOR points to Simple Script Shop

I was just making a suggestion, if you wanted to follow it or not

Yeah, and I follow it, and it looks so much better now. Thx

I just wanted to point it out, if others want to know. 

looks really nice!

Is that image actually behind the text (I'm looking at the elbow)?  So for the battler images that are wider than they are high, will the image become the background for some of the text?

Screenshot please? Also, I have a status screen edit but all mine is is just moving things around and sticking a battler on it. XP

err...there is a screenie?

I'll be the one to move this to the database 
looks pretty cool ^^

Very nicely done.
Using that font with that battler and a decent background really makes it great.

Looks really cool I +reped you yesterday, but I forgot to post...

i need help with this after i did what u said i got "Unable to find file Graphics/Characters/Face/001-Fighter01."

Do you have a folder called faces? You need to have it in your character folder. And it's importent that your character-set has the same as the face.

Ok I did everything you said to do, I created a folder in my Characters\ dir name Faces\  inside which I put the "face" picture I wanted to use and named it the same name as my main character.  I changed all the lines of script. but I still get get an error message on line 23 under Windows_Status where you had me change the script line from "graphic" to "face" it says   [undefined_method for draw_actor_face]......  now if I change it back to "graphic" I don't recieve an error message however it displays the character graphic, the tiny little guy, and not the big "battler" graphic I wish to use.  I also copied your "Face" script and put it directly above "Main" as instructed, but if you ask me its like it doesnt register it, because I am sure this "face" is what tells it what to do... I am all sorts of confused can you please help me?   

What would be nice is a screenshot of your script pulled up on your window, so I can see it in action and not just read and speculate on here, just a suggestion, but it would help immensly......please help!!!

Put class Window_Base above the draw face method, and put end after it, so that it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

class Window_Base
  def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y)
    face = RPG::Cache.character("Faces/" + actor.character_name, actor.character_hue)
    fw = face.width
    fh = face.height
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, fw, fh)
    self.contents.blt(x - fw / 23, y - fh, face, src_rect)
  end
end


umm Im having the same problem too... and this didn't help... does this mean I need a bigger picture?

also the image appears down below behind the status....  can you help me, please? ^^;;

Nice script and everything, I like the look of it all. And I love how you use bars (Bars Beat Text!!)!! Just a minor suggestion: Make and exp bar too, without removing the exp text!
And uh... where'd you get the picture?! [/offtopic!]

i hope this isnt dead but it says error on line 62 where end is im new so bare with me
