Custom Skill Screen Help

[TWGC God 0]

Um..hi. I'm fairly new to this site, and really new to Ruby Programming Languages. And I need some help.

I found this site to look for some really cool scripts, and I saw this one about a custom skill screen. It looks awesome and I want to implement this into my game. Problem is that I don't know how to do this..

 

The link is below. I need help on where exactly to put this on my "Scripts" database.

http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/index.php/rmx...ill-screen.html

 

So if anyone can, I say can because I don't see alot of people on this site, please help me, I'd greatly appreiciate it..thanks..

I don't have RPG Maker XP on my computer, so I'll try to help you anyway.

 

Do you know how to open your scripts database? Its in one of the menus, find that and open it.

 

You will a bunch of scripts there that make your project run. The bottom script should be named "Main".

 

Copy the script here: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/scripts/rmxp/...ill_screen.html

 

Make a new a script in your scripts database(right-click, new script) and paste this script in there. Make sure you add the new script above the "Main" script.

 

Glad you like the script.

Marked, it said that there's an error...uh...help please?

[isaacsol 10]

You need to be slightly more specific in that. What exactly does the error say.

[Jesse66126 4]

There are a lot of errors in the script.

 

Who ever made this script obviously did not know what they were doing.

I tried fixing it but it's missing the Battler's picture locating part of the script.

Sadly it's just a rearrangement script like my custom menu script.

Nothing hard about it.

Someone put their email inside the script without a "#" in front of it lol

So it's trying to process the email as part of the script.

Well now, didnt that just kill my motivation to become a scripter... :lol:

 

Suppose there's nothing to defend myself... 'tis a rearrangement script, and to make those you dont need to know what you're doing. Though the only mistake with this script is how I copied to the website. Its not the full script.

 

Use this version:

# Custom Skill Screen 1.0 by Neon(23.10.06) Script no.:4
#---------------------------------------------------------
# This script is fairly basic. It displays extra stats in the skills screen
# which are: ATK, PDEF, MDEF, STR, DEX and AGI, it displays the actors graphic
# and the windows are rearranged. Another feature that is the skill screen in
# battle, it is the same as the default. This script will also change the battle
# skill screen, and it didnt look very good, so it changes back to the default
# one.

Probably wont work though. ;)

 

Oh, and it says that "Neon" made this script, which is the username I used on the forum which I made this while active on.

[Jesse66126 4]

Sorry lol.

 

But the email in the script seemed like such a newbie mistake.

[Jesse66126 4]

 

I'm not sure but....I think it's supposed to look like this....

I could fix it for you,if you want.Its probably just a minor script error with the battler image.

 

Or is cause my actor's battler image and character image have different names?

Either way,I can fix it so it'll show only a character's battler image.

[Marked 197]

email address? This thing's two years old, I don't even remember making it.

 

That is not what it's supposed to look like. The name of the battler does have to be the same as the character.
