In depth scripting tutorial?

Are there any really in depth scripting tutorials around? I want to make a custom menu system for the game i'm working on and i've tried several existing scripts but none of them seem to work for me, wether it's conflicting with the quest log script i am using or just generally failing completely... i looked on youtube and found menu scripting tutorials but they are all for VX and not the ACE version and in trying the coding examples he gave, they don't work since they call on processes that are very different, i've searched all over but all i find is things saying call this call that, type this etc... none explaining what exactly that specific instruction does and it's very confusing to me, it's all very well typing what you're told to but having some understanding of exactly WHAT you are typing and what it does would be a lot more helpful.

If you are trying to make a custom menu system, why not try Luna Engine? It allows you to do so without any real scripting knowledge. Also, i must ask: Is your nickname a reference to Windir?

Oh Luna engine? I'll look into that...

And yes... it is indeed a reference to Windir

Just for your info:


Scripting in RM is effectively programming in Ruby, because RGSS# are all Ruby-Variants.


That is why there are no specific in depth scripting tutorials (I would never call any video-tutorial on scripting an in-depth-tutorial, they are all either requiring basic programming knowledge before you start, or are not capable of really telling you how to program anything - it takes weeks or months to learn even the basics of programming).


You need to look for Ruby tutorials if you want to learn In-Depth-Scripting.

What Andar said. What I posted was a tutorial for RPGMaker specifically, though it does assume you know how to program. If you don't know that, then you need to start there first.

well i do have a basic knowledge of programming to a certain degree but never with ruby 

from what i've seen so far in the tutorial videos you linked, it's more or less what i was looking for, he explains things and what they do rather than "just type this cuz i said so"

Well basically RGSS# doesn't require you a very deep Ruby(in fact somewhat beginner), it does require you basic Ruby and experience in messing with the RGSS# Library. But things like Proc Lambda Exception and another else is actually not really needed(but might help). Especially if you have a basic programming language, believe me, RGSS is not hard, ones just need to break down the library, not more than 1 month you'll make several scripts by yourself. I'm an evidence for that. I just know some C++ only. You can do it :)

If you already finish that tutorial video, I really believe it's all what you need. Really. There's nothing more past it. All is just you need to messing with the library itself, do trial and error, not more than 2-3 months, you will script RGSS3 syntax without thinking, and making your custom menu or scene will need you to only think your layout(I mean your creativity :) ).

Good luck, there always many members like to help.
