HiddenChest RGSS Player Executable

[kyonides]

A New Release Has Been Uploaded Today!
Version 1.1.72

Codename: SplashScreen

Recent Changes

• Added native Zlib compression, there is no need for an additional library or rubygem.
  
• Renamed Game::Scene class as Game::SplashScene. It should be placed in the Data directory and saved as Splash.rb
  

If you create the optional Splash.rb file, the engine will read it and create an Splash.rhc file based on it, holding a deflated / compressed string. Later on, the engine will actually inflate / uncompress it and execute it on your behalf.

After just one test run, you can even move the RB file anywhere else until the day comes when you ever badly need to modify its code again.

Here's a custom Splash.rb script for you to learn how to create your own.

Game::SplashScene

Code:

# * Game::SplashScene * #

# If you ever overwrite the main method in a custom script, you got to add
# a call to Game.setup or the normal loading processing will end abruptly.

module Game
  class SplashScene
    def main
      Graphics.freeze
      start
      Graphics.transition
      Game.setup
      until Input.trigger?(Input::KeyK)
        Graphics.update
        Input.update
      end
      Graphics.freeze
      terminate
    end

    def start
      @visual = nil
      filename = "Graphics/Splash/screen"
      if FileInt.exist?(filename)
        @visual = true
        @backdrop = Sprite.new
        @backdrop.bitmap = Bitmap.new(filename)
        @title = Sprite.new
        @title.x = (Graphics.width - 400) / 2
        @title.y = (Graphics.height - 60) / 2
        b = Bitmap.new(400, 64)
        font = b.font
        font.size = 48
        font.outline = true
        font.outline_size = 4
        b.draw_text(b.rect, "Loading...", 1)
        @title.bitmap = b
      end
    end

    def terminate
      if @visual
        @title.bitmap.dispose
        @title.dispose
        @backdrop.bitmap.dispose
        @backdrop.dispose
        @visual = nil
      end
    end
  end
end

RELEVANT NOTE: Windows users using this release might need to rename the libboost_program_options-mt-x64.dll as libboost_program_options-mt.dll or else they will get a weird error message from Windows.  I dunno why did this happen because I've never asked it to pick any of them, it just did it automatically. There is a chance that including Zlib support changed this but I can't prove that.
