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 don't believe this is compatible with the newest version of MV. I keep getting a type error everytime I use this plugin in an updated version. Here's something from the console

If anyone is trying to use this plugin for the newest version here is a fix found by Dhakurs

On or around line 3845 of the plugin there should be the text "this.hiddenTextWindow.updateTransform();"
At some point what Jahwsuf was calling was renamed to update from updateTransform.
So just change "this.hiddenTextWindow.updateTransform();" to "this.hiddenTextWindow.update();" (without the "")
And now the plugin should load up and run fine(at least as far as I can tell).

This will make the plugin work with the newest version of RPG maker.

I don't know if You still upgrade this plugin, but could you make little patch to show Current Experience above Exp to Next Level?

So I was able to modify the plugin to feature the HP and MP bars while using large portraits. Here are the steps.
- Using Notepad++, jump to line 2728 under if(JahwsUF.StatusMenuCore.Param.XpHidden != true
- Insert in the next line this.drawActorHp(this._actor, this.standardPadding(), y + lineHeight * (1 + lineIndex), 160);
Modify the 160 to determine the length of the HP bar.
- Insert in the next line this.drawActorMp(this._actor, this.standardPadding() + 165, y + lineHeight * (1 + lineIndex), 160);
Once again 160 is the MP bar length. Modify as needed. 165 determines the x-coordinate of the bar.
- The state icon (demonstrated with the screaming face) will overlap the HP bar. Move it by jumping to line 2723 and adding + 165 or wherever the icon doesn't interfere with the character's name to the end of this.standardPadding() but before the comma.

I keep getting an error when opening the status screen "Cannot Read property "Transform" of null" any one have an idea of how to fix this?

I've also got the same error. It seems the plugin is calling a method from the core scripts which does not exist anymore.
I've found a way to 'fix' this, but as i'm not the original author i have no idea of knowing if that fix breaks something else.
This is line 3543 of the plugin:
Code:
this.hiddenTextWindow.updateTransform();
Change it to
Code:
this.hiddenTextWindow.update();
Afterwards i was at least able to open the status menu (and my additional stat was displayed)

I am also experiencing the same error involving the updateTransform command, but upon changing the code from that to just update(), my game just crashes. I have not customized the script in any given way yet other than modifying that one line of code.

Hi I am curious how you manage to draw an Icon on this plugin? I try use YEP wrap word but failed.
I hope you can share the trick ^^

@JahwsUF Can I add and remove Pages from this Status Menu.

Maybe If you add a Toggle pages option. Or Let us Change the Order of Pages.

No, you will probably have to hire a plugin dev as the author of this plugin hasn't been online in 2 years.

There are 2 solutions to this problem, you can either hire a plugin dev, I wouldn't imagine it would be expensive to get it fixed, or you can wait for this plugin dev to complete their status plugin which they are in the process of making.

@Tuomo L: What I did was go to line 3190 and edit "x + maxNameWidth" by adding a "/ 2" or any other number that suits you best once you test it.
