KToggleButtons XP

[Kain Nobel]

I figured I'd drop in and contribute some graphics (and ideas) for this cool script! 

You can crop these images and save them as individual icons (XP) or copy/paste them individually into your local icon sheets (VX and beyond).

These icons are from my personal collection; just stick to the original terms and conditions of kyonide's script and all is good in the world.

Also, I like credit too if the icons are used. Otherwise, I'll pop out of the bowl of rice with a poisoned blow dart and nobody will be the wiser...  

Radio Buttons



Radio buttons represent your standard binary True / False settings. 

Check Buttons



Check Buttons can be used to represent standard True / False, as well as Nil and Maybe.

I don't know how well these ambiguous Maybe and Nil states are represented in kyonide's current script, but feel free to use them as you wish.

Also, I tried to design these to be high contrast so they can still be visible even on a menu surface of any matching color (results may vary.)

More Context (Use Cases of Maybe and Nil)

Nil : Nothing has been selected. (Sometimes represented as a False or a Maybe.)
True : The box has been checked as a "Yes" state.
False : The box has been checked as a "No" state. (Sometimes represented as a Nil.)
Maybe : The box has not been physically checked and represents an unchanged state. (Sometimes represented as a Nil.)

In most cases, only 2 (or 3) of these CheckButton values are used and are sufficient.

(It is extremely rare that all 4 of these values would be used, but I suppose there are edge cases where they may be useful to use them all. I'd discourage it in most instances though.)

For data where the current state cannot be known, the Maybe state is basically the "go with the current state" state.

Here is how I use Maybe and Nil values in the context of my Missions system.

"Photograph the The Mayor With His Mistress" is a Nil (by default) because that hasn't happened yet; this is a pending objective that can either be Completed (True) or Failed (False). Fail this objective and you've failed the entire mission.

"Avoid Civilian Casualties" is a Maybe (by default) while the mission is ongoing and nobody has been killed (yet.) Once you've killed someone, it is Failed (False). If you finished the mission without killing civilians, it is flipped to Completed (True) at the very last second. Killing civilians is indeed bad, but you can still Fail (False) that objective and continue your mission, so I use the Maybe instead of the Nil to let the player know they haven't killed any civilians.

Sometimes Nil, False and Maybe are interchangeable terms and functions, all depending on the context of where and how it is being used.

I think as software users we take for granted the humble checkboxes and radio buttons but they really can be quite expressive (and super easy to use.) Definitely a great tool for menu designers, thank you for publishing. Congrats on the 1.0.0 milesetone!
