    Non-Combat Menu 1.03
    by mjshi- OK for use in all projects with credit
    Get it here! (direct link)

    ​
    Introduction
    My first actual script that isn't an edit or an addon!
    Featuring a fully customizable menu for less combat-oriented games. Mystery, exploration, survival-horror, point and click (or walk and press Z, I suppose)... you can configure pretty much anything in this script to suit your non-combat game's needs!

    Features
    • Configure what can be shown on the menu (currently configurable: Item, Save, Load, Exit("shutdown"))
    • Configure whether or not to have a gold window, where the window should be, and how wide
    • Change what the item menu shows
    • Change where the item description box will go

    Installation
    Installation: Paste this script above Main, and preferably above other custom scripts as well.

    Alternate version (link) by Roninator2
    customize every window's width, plus an addon to the status menu for when a single actor is active at a time​

    Addons:
    Single Item Tab- Skip the item/key item/weapon/armor selection and go straight to the item list. Ideal for projects that only have one tab.​
    Roninator2's Gold Menu- A gold menu anchored to a corner of the menu screen.​
    ZS Non-Combat Menu - Gold Window Addon- A gold menu attached to the top/bottom of the command window​

    How to add custom scenes/tabs to the menu
    I get a lot of requests for these kinds of things, and every "compatibility addon" is pretty much the same.
    Spoiler
    Look in the script that you want to add to the Non Combat Menu, and CTRL+F "Scene_" to find the part where it says "Scene_Quest" or "Scene_Achievements" or "Scene_NewWindowThing". Just replace NEWWINDOWTHING below with whatever NewWindowThing you found.

    Then, add to the menu list:

    ['Custom Scene', :NEWWINDOWTHING],

    Then add a general compatibility script under the Non Combat Menu script:

    Code:
    class Scene_End
  def command_NEWWINDOWTHING
    SceneManager.call(Scene_NEWWINDOWTHING)
  end
end

    This method works for 99% of scripts.
    [additional elaboration if you still need help] [an example]

    - Configure if you want a status menu or not Done! Updated to 1.0a
    - Configure if you want the status to be shown in the menu Done! Updated to 1.01

    Line 129 errors when I access the item menu and SHOW_GOLD_WINDOW is false.


    That line contains: @gold_window.y = @help_window.height

    On it, give me half an hour or so.

    edit: Fixed, updated to v1.01b.

    I really like this menu system- but I was wondering if there's any way to put formation back in the menu. There isn't any real combat in my game, but switching characters would be nice.

    I mean, sure I can. It's not going to be the prettiest thing ever, though, since I completely overwrote some of the existing stuff needed to call up that right window (the one with the faces and hp and mp). 

    But here you go. Updated to 1.02, newest version on pastebin.

    Howdy! Great script you have here!


    I was wondering if there's any way to allow you to access certain scripts from this menu. In this instance, I'm working with modern algebra's quest journal and I'd like to be able to open it from the menu.


    Here's a link to the script I'm talking about: http://rmrk.net/index.php?topic=45127.0


    Thanks for making this awesome menu by the way! I love how streamlined and minimalist it looks. :)

    Currently updating to a version that supports most quest log scripts.


    After I've updated the script, simply place this somewhere in your command list (the item/equip/status part of the configuration)

    Code:
    ['Quest Log', :quests],

    edit: updated.

    Oh wow! That was amazingly quick. 


    It's working splendidly. Thanks so much for helping me out!

    Hello MAKERS, how you could integrate this script with Script Pro Achievement?


    I leave the video explaining this script and the pastebin.

    Use this in your command list (the menu list)


    ['Achievements', :achieve],


    Then add this compatibility script under the Non Combat Menu:


    class Scene_End
    def command_achieve
    SceneManager.call(Scene_Achievements)
    end
    end


    Haven't yet tested it, but this is a generic solution that should work with calling most other script scenes.

    02.07.2016 update:


    Created a generalized addon for the Non-Combat Menu- Single Item Tab.


    The Single Item Tab addon will skip the item/keyitem/weapon/armor selection in the item menu and go straight to picking an item, which is useful if you only have one of those tabs in your game.

    1.  Sorry about Necropost (if that happened)
    2.  I was wondering how you would go about making this compatible with Survival System v1.11 (formerly known as Needs System)
        Created by: Apellonyx

                             They currently DO work together, but I would like the "survival bars" to be able to show up when the menu is opened (or alternately when you click status they are                            there) as this menu deletes the other menu changes I've done, i.e. when this script adds the bars your script taketh away the bars.


    Not necessary to get back to me, but if you do find out how to do this, I'll give you credit and a free copy of the game or 6.


    Lemme know!!!

    If you prepare a demo/test project with the scripts configured the way they currently are in your project, I can look into it for you. No guarantees as to whether or not I will be able to solve it, but I can try.


    I don't need a free copy of the game, and if you're using my scripts, you should've credited me anyway xD So no need to do anything special, just prepare the test project and I'll look into it for you.

    Okay here ya go, thanks again! (Hope I'm uploading correctly XD)


    (I didn't upload it correctly apparently, thoughts on how to put a demo on here? I shouldn't compress it or anything right?)

    Er, not exactly. Do you know how to make .zip files?


    If you have a windows computer: right click the folder that your project is contained in, then send to... compressed (zipped) folder.

    Make one of those of your project, then upload it to either dropbox or sendpsace or expirebox, or https://uguu.se/, whichever you wish.

    Can't believe I didnt think about compressing into zip file before I tried uploading hahahaha


    Thanks again

    Please stop uploading separate files, and try to do what I said in the earlier post.
