Description

A touched up version of the dull scene status. By the way, the watermarks that I used are Yggdra Union ones. They're probably definitely copyrighted, so if you're gonna make a commercial game or whatever, I don't recommend using them. They're crappy quality because I didn't spend much time photoshopping them.

You can find the Yggdra Union pictures attached to this post. I just used them because I had nothing better to use.

Features

• Easily customizable.
• A watermark at the back. The screenshot will probably explain it better.
• A biography similar to the one in Yanfly's Scene Status Redux.
• Icons! Everyone likes Icons...
• A exp bar. I mean come on, this should be in every status screen.
• Paragaph Formatting.

Just post down here.

Known Compatibility Issues

Guess it won't work with other status screens. But otherwise, none as of yet.

I like it!

I like it too, it's great
though I'm having a problem with it
When I change the Biography It just doesn't work
Instead of using the whole biography space, it just cuts in the first line...
so ..is there a way to fix this? D:

Well, since I didn't have any paragraph formatting, you'll have to put a "|" (Not an I, but a |) every time you want a line break.

EDIT: Ignore this, I added in paragraph formatting.

Have you tried Yanfly Main Menu Melody? I think it uses a completely different refresh system.

This is exactly what I was looking for ^^ (sorry for necroposting)

I have a suggest though, I'd love it if the status window could be hidable, only showing the watermark without any transparency? Triggered by pressing some button for example? I'm afraid that I'm requesting something stupidly easy here, but at least it seems like a challenge to me

I have an awesome consept artist agreed to do graphs for our game, so I'd love to put them in to good use

Once more big thanks to Cozziekun *hugs*

Thanks for the suggestion! Updated.

OoooooOOoo!! That's exactly what I wanted ^^

Thank you million times Cozziekuns!!!!! *hundreds hugs*

... I can use your script in our game, right..?

Sure, go shoot.

And what if you want the player to choose the actor's name?  How could this script be changed to "variable_bg" so that there isn't a watermark error.  Or.. can the status screen BG just be turned off or made a generic color?  Thanks.

I don't have VX at the moment, but I think the way you would fix the name problem is by going to line 147 and changing

Code: [Select]

    bitmap = Cache.picture(actor.name + "_bg")

to

Code: [Select]

    bitmap = Cache.picture(actor.actor.name + "_bg")

As for your other idea, you could just create blank images for each actor, but an actual fix would be changing lines 145-151 from this:

Code: [Select]

  def draw_actor_back(actor, x, y)
    @background_opacity = COZZIEKUNS::BACKGROUND_OPACITY
    bitmap = Cache.picture(actor.name + "_bg")
    rect = Rect.new(0, 0, 544,416)
    self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, rect, @background_opacity)
    bitmap.dispose
  end

to this:

Code: [Select]

  def draw_actor_back(*args)
    return
  end

Well I did what pacman said to do to skip adding a background image, but i'm having a different issue now. It's not Pacman's code thats causing the issue, I get the same problem when I do add a image. When I try to access one of the Character's status menus I get this:

"Script 'Cozziekuns' Status Screen' line 241: NoMethodError occurred. Undefined method 'draw_paragraph' for #<Bitmap:0x391cda8>"

See header. Make sure that you have MA's Paragraph Formatter, included in the demo.

Do you have that?

Well it actually disappeared after I deleted that particular line. So I guess its solved, deleting it doesn't seem to be causing any issues from what I can see.

I just wanted to repost the pic because it was showing up for me on this awesome script.
