The StatusMenuCore (v 1.1.1)

JahwsUF · 2015-10-31T14:06:09+0900

StatusMenuCore - v1.1.1 by JahwsUF (Change in version syntax: the old v 1.03 was meant as 1.0.3.) Tired of the plain, vanilla Status menu that came with the game? Wish you could show more parameters to your game's players, or provide a little lore? Well, wish no longer, for a solution is here - the StatusMenuCore. Sit down and buckle up for a moment, 'cause we're in for a ride - this thing's got a lot of content and flexibility. Want a quick and dirty intro / sales pitch? Start here! Spoiler [IMG]http://imgur.com/2Mt47Jj.png[/IMG] As they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words - this is only a part of the power of this plugin. A few other tastes: [IMG]http://imgur.com/vo9WOre.png[/IMG] Don't worry - that giant picture you saw on the side is optional. This plugin autodetects a lot of things and restructures its windows accordingly for near-optimal design. [IMG]http://imgur.com/YIoeWfh.png[/IMG] Scared you'll need a high-resolution mod for this plugin? Don't worry; it auto-scales all the output data based on your resolution settings or lack thereof! However, it does check for limitations. Too much output on the parameter page causes it to drop the equipment listing. [IMG]http://imgur.com/Wdor8Ww.png[/IMG] You might have noticed a minor menu at the top with some other options. How about some character backstory? Wait, is that a scroll indicator at the bottom? There's even more flexibility than these four images might indicate - more details are mentioned in the other spoiler section. The nickname detail is one of those editable options. If you want a detailed guide into the belly of the beast, this path may be the better option. Seriously though, buckle in and take a deep breath. There's a lot to explain. Spoiler OK. Let's start from the basics and focus on one feature at a time. The original motivation for this plugin came from the lack of customization on the Status page's parameters. We all know that there are a lot of parameters behind the scenes... why not show 'em? [IMG]http://imgur.com/YIoeWfh.png[/IMG] You'll note that in this screenshot, I've kept the original 6 parameters, but also listed 8 that were never seen before! There's even a space in the left column! With this plugin, you have full control over which parameters are and are not shown to the player... and the power to arrange them in up to 3 columns. Obviously, 3 columns isn't the best on the game's original resolution. But before we go down that rabbit hole, how do we set this? [IMG]http://imgur.com/XovzN2G.png[/IMG] Above you can see a screenshot of me editing the parameter listings that correspond to the image above. Specify the parameter abbrevation, and the plugin can grab it. If someone makes additional parameters, this plugin can still grab them provided they are given such an abbreviation. Not all parameters have in-database text, so you'll need to provide some text, like you see there for "target rate." Last, the majority of hidden parameters are percent-based. There are parameters later on that control how many parameters are in each of the three columns. If the third column has no stats, it never appears, leaving two columns. Blank entries (as seen above) provide spaces in the parameter page for visual organization. There's a lot of flexibility provided to customize this page; you just have to tinker with it. OK. So back to that thing about "at this resolution." That was one of the other motivating factors for this plugin - a lot of the built-in menus... don't scale well if you boost the game resolution. This plugin makes sure that's never a worry on the Status screens. (Oh gosh, that's plural, and you've probably noticed the top of the previous images... don't worry, we'll get there.) [IMG]http://imgur.com/eWI1YpV.png[/IMG] Even if you leave the old parameter settings exactly the same, note how the old status window is arranged - things are spaced out, rather than being all on the left. This is Good . And you already saw the earlier images - the much more informative screen looks pretty well balanced, right? With more screen real estate, we can do a lot more and show more. OK, so a few tweaks that you've probably noticed compared to the "vanilla" status page. There's a menu now where the name, nickname, and class used to be. I had to reclaim that space for the menu, so they got moved down beside the profile image... which triggered some other reorganization. To save space, by default I've put the name and nickname together on one line and condensed all the EXP information into a single bar. The one thing you lose with this plugin (in its present form, at least) is access to your total, cumulative EXP totals. That EXP bar there shows you how much you've progressed to the next level, as well as how much EXP you'll need to do so, but nothing about your sum total EXP. However, dropping that makes everything else fit. And I mean everything. So, I think it's worth it. Oh yeah! There's that menu thing up there! Let's hop to it! [IMG]http://…

I'm not quite sure but there is a script by SumRndmDde named Guard Upgrade. The only problem is that it adds GDD to your characters, and shows it in the status screen. I have tried to set this up in Staus Core's Parameters but it will not work... am I doing something wrong or will they just not work together?

When I use YEP_CoreEngine and mess with the lineheight option, it messes with the equipcore. So I was hoping that you could add in an option to change the line height for your plugin, that wouldn't mess with the line height in other areas, just the status menu.

This is pretty simple. If you're using Yanfly's Equip core, find

Scene_Equip.prototype.createCommandWindowand add:

this._commandWindow.setHandler('status', this.commandStatus.bind(this));to the list of commands.

Under the command list, outside of the createCommandWindow block, add this:

Scene_Equip.prototype.commandStatus = function() { SceneManager.push(Scene_Status);};Next you want to find:

Window_EquipCommand.prototype.addCustomCommandand add:

this.addCommand(TextManager.status, 'status');in the block.

It works out

Spoiler
If you're not using the equip core, You have to edit Scene_Equip in rpg_scenes.js and Window_EquipCommand in rpg_windows.

Scene_Equip.prototype.createCommandWindow and Window_EquipCommand.prototype.makeCommandList

I don't know how to make my own plugins but I would recommend not editing the main scripts, but I'm not very good at following my own advice.
Hey this worked, thanks! Except, it's not quite exactly what I was after. This just adds a status tab to the equip screen, however the player would still then have to scroll down to the status tab and it's still a guessing game to see what changed. I am wondering if there is a way to actually select your equipment on the status screen, so that for example when you're scrolling through the different weapons or armors, you see all the various parameter bonuses that they confer.

You add them in with the plugin's parameter settings. I have a bunch of tutorial-style information in the initial topic; be sure to read through that.

In the main menu or the status menu? If it's on the status menu, and you're using large portraits, the system is set to not show that information at present.

This being said, if I find the time and motivation to go at it, I've got a lot of work done toward a new version of the plugin (2.0) and have been considering a good way to allow the headers themselves to be customizable, rather than fixed choices. (It's hard to balance out customization with flexibility there, though, hence why it's not very forthcoming.)

I already figured it out, I used your bonus whatever plugin!

Hi, @JahwsUF, I was wondering if you're still going to work on this plugin?

Here's what I come up with, and I think I could make use of the leftover space. Just a suggestion though xD

This is amazing, and quite possibly what I am looking for.

One question, though: Is there a way to change the background into something I've customized for myself? Like can I add an image as a background?

Is there a way to just use the portrait functionality of this and add it to what I have already done?

Hi JahwsUF, this a great plugin, I was searching for a status page like this, but I have only 2 little requests if is possible...

I would like to have the option of remove the character class from the status page, it's possible? I see that I can remove the level, but I like it why remove it?, But in the page I see "Level X YYY" where YYY is the class name, I would like to remove Only YYY.

And second the chance to put the "nickname" before the "name", like this I can use the nickname space like a surname for the characters in a Japanese way ^^;

Thanks for your time ^^/

Sorry for another post right under the first but I noticed that the "nickname" is showed in the status only if I didn't used an image
Like you can see here, with the normal profile (with the faceset) You can see Name and surname (using thespace for the nickname like a surname).

But in the one with a character Image I cant see the nickname/surname, and i didn't change the options (that anyway would remove the name and not the nick... if I understanded it right).

That's part of the code.

If you have portrait, say bye bye to HP/MP.

You gotta mess with the plugin coding itself.

lmao I'm sorry I skimmed through your post

But still yeah, I guess you either modify the plugin, or write the nickname on the profile page, I guess?
Kenshin

#97 Jun 8, 2016, 02:48 PM Source

Well in the plugin already exist an option to chose if showing bot name and nickname or only the nickname... but as you can see... it isn't working, at least not in the picture version of it.

Then I was warning JahwsUF of this.

That's all ^^

Is there a way to display the damage from each weapon if i an actor has dual wield trait?

I really like your profile page and I'm not using anything else in the game I'm making. Is there a code I can add that will make it so if there's only one page you don't see the navigation on the top or a title? I don't have battles in my game having equipment and params aren't needed.

Hi,

Thanks for the plugin. I would like to ask if there is a way that only allows the window appears in the status menu page? It seems that the window appears in every menu (such as item, equit etc.) I have attached a screenshot for your information :)

Besides that, is there a way to also show extra parameters for your weapon, by default, it only shows the basic, but I would like to see if there is a way to also show critical rate, evasion as well
