I need a script for a Map/Region Selection Scene

[frsgalaxy 0]

Hello there everybody :) I wanted to put in a request for a Map/Region Selection Scene, My vision of what it should do and what it should look like to the end user is something like this:-

 

Layout

The Layout in my head is something along the lines of:-

 

Selection Menu = Left/Right Bearing (Can edit where in the script or via a True/False, Like when Window_SelectRegionLeft.new = True Selection Menu is Left Bearing when False selection menu is right bearing)

 

Display in Selection Menu = (load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Region1")) (load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Region2")) etc.

This will display a picture at the top of the region selection menu (Picture will be 128Hx96W or vice versa its your choice as to which you think looks best)

 

Region Information = A list of certain mechanics within that area, These could include (but should not be limited to) Chests, Resources, Gold, Battles, Quests, Side Quests etc. (It should also be easy to add additional ones, For additional user support, Also saves on adding additional content later on, Information should be shown when a certain region is selected, When that region is selected a pop-up should say "Do you wish to go to .........." where ".........." refers to the region name, There should then be 2 possible selections in the pop-up "Yes" or "No")

 

Main Screen = The Main Screen should have an image of the map that is being used in the game, As each region is scrolled through I would like it to Pop-Up out of the map with a certain color, By Pop-Up I mean that the map image changes (Similar to the function that is used in CMS (Custom Menu Scene's) Scripts, As an example of Images changing refer to SEL Menu Mod which can be found here (10.13MB), Open the game file and open the menu screen (press ESC)(or Triangle if your using a PC Joypad), Press the directional buttons left and right to select each option on the menu, Each option will be highlighted in red as you go through them one by one, This is done via 7 Different images which are changed as each option is selected (The game.exe is un-encrypted so you can freely look at the code).

 

Large Selection Menu = This is primarily for the people who have trouble reading lots of information on a small part of the screen, This will not only open up a Pop-Up menu which will have each selectable region, But when each region is clicked on the LSM will be replaced with an information window that gives details of what is in each region (Same as Region Information but on a large screen), The Image in the background can either stay or disappear (thats your dicision as the scripter). I would like the same information in this screen that is in the other Region Information request (This includes a picture whose size should increase to it being a large window I reccomend 320 Width x 160 Height, To keep the aspect ratio).

 

So that is the Map, Window Command & Window Peripherals.

 

Now onto the controls on the Map/Region Screen,

for the controls it should be kept simple,

 

When On Map Screen:-

 

ESC = Return to Menu

X = Return to Menu

Space = Select Region

Arrow Keys = The direction of the Arrow pressed

 

When in the Region Information Screen (Includes Large Information):-

 

ESC = Cancel

X = Cancel

Space = Select Region

Arrow Keys = Select option between "Yes", "No" & "Region Options" (Region Option will bring up a list of Sub-Regions which can be selected as the travel destination rather than the Full Region itself)

 

I believe this is everything that is need to make a script :) If you need more information please PM me or post here :)
