Extra Status v1.1.3 LadyBaskerville Introduction This plugin creates a highly customizable status screen that can be accessed from the main menu. It is mainly focused on displaying numeric values ranging between a minimum and a maximum value, like the alignment on a good--evil scale, relationships between characters, or progress within a "Find X amount of Y!" quest. However, it can also display text and images. You can now switch between a Party and an Actor mode. On Party mode, one Extra Status screen for the entire party will be shown by the menu command. On Actor mode, the menu command will let you select an actor first, like the skill, status and equip commands. (The selected actor is referred to by this._actor in all Javascript parameters. On Party mode, this._actor refers to the party leader instead.) A word of warning: This plugin requires some Javascript code in its configuration. If you don't know where to start with it, you can find a small list of the most important commands for this plugin at the very bottom of this post. There will also a be link to a demo project where you can see some of those commands in action. This plugin also requires the RMMV editor to be updated to 1.5.0. Features - Creates a customizable status screen that can be accessed from the main menu or via a plugin command. - Lets you add (mostly) static text and images to the new status screen. - Lets you display variables, or any values you can access with a line of Javascript, as text, a gauge, or a slider. - Lets you dynamically show and hide entries on the new status screen. Screenshot This is an example screen from the demo linked below. Spoiler: Image How to Use In the plugin parameters, you will some general settings for the Extra Status screen and, most importanly, a list of entries. Those will make up the actual contents of the screen. Each entry can be dynamically shown and hidden, and can contain one of each of the following elements: - Text: Pure text. - Image: An image from the img/exstatus folder. - Value: A value returned by a Javascript evaluation. It can be displayed in the following ways: - as text (the only option for non-numeric values) - as a gauge - as a slider image All of this can be configured in the plugin parameters. For more details, have a look into the Help file or the spoilers below.

That's a cool idea, but I don't think I'll be able to tackle it right now. I might give it a try when I have the time, but no promises!

hi. I appreciate your plugin!
The gauge back color does not seem to be changed.
Is the color code hexadecimal?

@satoshi1101 Yes, it uses hex color codes, but I misspelled a variable in the code, that's why it didn't work :kaoswt2:
Please download the plugin again from the opening post - I've fixed it in version 1.1.3.

I'm sorry for the late reply. Applying version 1.1.3 right now the back color has been changed properly. Thank you for fixing!

i know, necro posting, but really.

is this NOT compatible with 1.6?

all plugins off, just trying to get it to show a single, simple text line, and it won't show the menu command, plugin command won't open it, nada. it at least opened an extra status when i popped it in 1.3 trying to figure out how to use it. (which failed lol)

@deus69xxx I'm very sorry for the extremely late reply :kaoswt: In case you're still active and looking for a solution (or if anyone reading this thread has the same problem), can you show screenshots of the plugin parameters (both the general ones and for the entry you're trying to show)?

It worked for me in a very brief test in 1.6, but there may be things that have broken in the meantime.

I've installed the plugin and its demo with images in img/exstatus folder. Plugin works because the words Extra Status appears in the menu. But inside it I can see nothing. Just empty space, that's all. Where ig this gauge and other elements? I don't understand. RMMV 1.6.1. D'ya think this is the problem?

Hi, I love this plugin thanks so much for your contribution! I know this is quite an old post but would be super grateful for any advice! I'm hoping to achieve the slider that you have in this custom menu but so that it appears above the conversation as you're having it so the feedback of your replies can be seen in real time after you've made a conversation selection if that makes sense? :) Thanks so much in advance!
