My First Script!


SDK:
----
Don't need it. This script is for all the people without any crazy script (for example, a
pac-man system that modifies window_base, what crazy idea).

Possible troubles:
------------------
I don't think that this script may cause your game to crash (only if you don't create the quests XD). The demo is with the japanese dll. There won't be any problem with the fonts. I replaced them but you can change them if you want.


Demo:
-----
Play it. Only four quests to do really simple.

Changes:

-------
If you're going to post this script with some changes, please tell me, because i did
the script myself, and i won't want that credit isn't given to me.
If you want to update the version, just tell me to approve and i will post it like a
new version.

me to scripting.

# Place this script above main to work. Then, read this important data:
#
#
#
#
#
# HOW TO CREATE A NEW QUEST:
#
#
#
#
# Very easy, but great results
#
#
#
#
#
# 1- Put this command in a new call script.
# $VAR = Quest.new("Name of Quest", "Image" , "Line1", "Line2", "Line3",
# "Line4","Line5", difficulty, status)
#
# Name, image, lines must be string (between "" (quotes)). Image must be
# 480 x 80.
# Difficulty ranges from 0 (nothing) , 1(EX.EASY) to 5 (EX.HARD)
#
# Status is 0 (nothing), 1(not started), 2(looking for), 3(just finished),
# 4 (Complete).
#
# $VAR must be a global variable, like $quest1, or $mission1.
#
#
#
#
# 2- Then put this:
#
#   $quest.push ($VAR)
#
#
#
# $VAR must be the global variables you defined.
# EXAMPLE OF FIVE QUESTS
#
# $quest.push ($quest1)
# $quest.push ($quest2)
# $quest.push ($quest3)
# $quest.push ($quest4)
# $quest.push ($quest5)
#
#
# Then go to class Quest and fine the line:
#
#   def update_global

# and do the same as above with the $VAR.push (or $quest.push like example).
# Example is the same as above.
#
# 3- The most easy step. Go to Scene_Title (the default one) and find this lines
# and add the line between comments ADDED:

#    $game_player        = Game_Player.new
#-------ADDED-------
#    $quest = []
#-----ADDED--------------------------------
#    $game_party.setup_starting_members  



#WORK FINISHED
#
# Easy? Yes!
# If you have a good enchancement, PM me in DUBEALEX forum, and i will approve the
# next version.
#
#
#<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
#
# Features:
# -Call it from wherever you want with $scene = Scene.Quest.new
# -It has big name, 5 lines of quest, and a feature to put a image that you
# want. Difficulty and status.
# -If you don't want a picture, just create one that is called empty, and call it
# in the script
#  -You can put just finished quests
#
#<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
#

#                 Updating Quests:

# These commands will be useful for updating the quests:

# - $VAR.set_PARAMETER (NEW VALUE)

#EXPLICATION:

#  $VAR is the quest variable.   PARAMETER is the aspect of the quest you want to change

# name, image, lines, state, difficulty. These commands only in downcase will work.

# NEW VALUE is obviously the value of the parameter , string, number, etc.

# EXAMPLE:

#  $quest1.set_name ("The New quest")

#  $quest1.set_state (2)


# THis last is used to update for example, when the quest is given.


# I think this is a short, but great script.
# Ok, now i finally did the scrolling system. A big enchancement. Enjoy it!

They are in the code, but i will put them here.

Place this script above main to work. Then, read this important data:





HOW TO CREATE A NEW QUEST:

Very easy, but great results

1- Put this command in a new call script.

Code:

  $VAR = Quest.new("Name of Quest", "Image" , "Line1", "Line2", "Line3",
  "Line4","Line5", difficulty, status)

Name, image, lines must be string (between "" (quotes)). Image must be
480 x 80.
Difficulty ranges from 0 (nothing) , 1(EX.EASY) to 5 (EX.HARD)

Status is 0 (nothing), 1(not started), 2(looking for), 3(just finished),
4 (Complete).

$VAR must be a global variable, like $quest1, or $mission1.




2- Then put this in a new call script too:

Code:

    $quest.push ($VAR)

$VAR must be the global variables you defined.
EXAMPLE OF FIVE QUESTS

Code:

  $quest.push ($quest1)
  $quest.push ($quest2)
  $quest.push ($quest3)
  $quest.push ($quest4)
  $quest.push ($quest5

 Then go to class Quest and find the line:

Code:

    def update_global

and do the same as above with the $VAR.push (or $quest.push like example).
Example is the same as above.

3- The most easy step. Go to Scene_Title (the default one) and find this lines
and add the line between comments ADDED:

Code:

     $game_player        = Game_Player.new
#-------ADDED-------
     $quest = []
#-----ADDED--------------------------------
     $game_party.setup_starting_members

WORK FINISHED

EASY? YES!
If you have a good enchancement, PM me in DUBEALEX forum, and i will approve the
next version.

Features:
-Call it from wherever you want with $scene = Scene.Quest.new
-It has big name, 5 lines of quest, and a feature to put a image that you
want. Difficulty and status.
-If you don't want a picture, just create one that is called empty, and call it
in the script
-You can put just finished quests

Updating Quests:

These commands will be useful for updating the quests:

Code:

  - $VAR.set_PARAMETER (NEW VALUE)

EXPLICATION:

$VAR is the quest variable. PARAMETER is the aspect of the quest you want to change

name, image, lines, state, difficulty. These commands only in downcase will work.

NEW VALUE is obviously the value of the parameter , string, number, etc.

EXAMPLE:

Code:

   $quest1.set_name ("The New quest")

   $quest1.set_state (2)

 THis last is used to update for example, when the quest is given.
