Custom List & Pages Version 1.3

Author: Aindra
If you decide to use this script in your project, you must credit me.

Introduction
This script will allow you to include the list in your menu (or you can call it from the map if you do not wish to see it in the menu.) Inside the list holds several pages that is full with information you chose to include. It's entirely up to you to do whatever you want with the pages. Please check the screenshots or demo to see what kind of things you can do with your pages.

Updates
1.3 Version - You can now call a branch list only in the event, and you can limit the main list's selections (allowing you to hide some branch lists so the player can only view them in the events you prepare.)

Features

• Customize the main list and branch list easily
• Set up the lists easily, you can have many selections in one list as you want.
• Main List that can branch off to a secondary list
• Select one on the list will open up a page with detailed information
• You can use the existing templates when setting up your pages.
• The list selections can be operated by a switch. (EX: A player can't see a certain NPC in the NPC list until he meets this person, and the information is unlocked.) NOTE: You can also lock the list selections for whatever reasons. So it works both way.
• v1.1 - Disable the menu access if you don't want it in the menu
• v1.1 - Call the Custom List while on the map
• v1.1 - Call the Custom Page while on the map
• v1.3 - Call the Custom Branch List while on the map
• v1.3 - Limit the Main List Selections (so you can hide other branch lists for event-viewing)

Screenshots - Beware: 6 pics

Spoiler:

When you click on a selection of the list, it will bring you to the page.

Next screenshots are my template pages in its action. What are the templates? You can use them in every page if needed, and only change the values. It will make it very easy for you to set up the pages. All you have to is just input any text, or values. (Although you can always make your own templates or edit my templates.

Shop Template


Statistics Template


Book Template


Location Template


NPC Profile Template

How to Use
WARNING: It is not a beginner-friendly! I tried my best to make it easy for beginners to understand. If you know nothing about RGSS2 scripts, chances is decent that you may get frustated. And also, it is NOT a plug 'n' play (sort of). You can use it and it'll work fine. But you will have to make an effort to set up the pages way you want it be. I made few templates to help you if you don't wish (or don't know how) to make your own templates. You can modify my templates.

I recommend getting the latest demo. It has a documented instructions you can read to set up this script.

==============================================================================
Custom Page & Customizable Block
==============================================================================
In this script, you can change many settings, add the list objects, and add
different pages. Use the templates if you want to set up your pages quicker.

You'll have to read/customize this whole script (well except parts I clearly
marked to say not touch them) from start to end.

QUICK REFERENCES:
- Call Custom Main List
$scene = Custom_List.new(0, 0, false)
- Call Custom Branch List
$scene = Custom_List.new(list*, index, false, true)
* Can't be 0, that's main list.
- Call Custom Page
$scene = Custom_List.new(list, index, true)

Page Templates
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Templates' purpose is to be used in the Custom Page, and help you to set up
your pages quicker. You can do a quick template call and change the values
from the custom page & block script.

The templates are useful in the sense it can be used for more than one page.

You can modify the existing template(s), or add your own template(s) here.
You can remove the existing template(s) if you do not need them.

QUICK REFERENCES

Above script will attach "Custom List" at end of the menu list. If you do not like it being under "Game End", you can take this KGC_CustomCommandMenu script, and put it above my scripts. It'll allow you to insert it anywhere you want in the list. NOTE: That script is made by Tomy and translated by MrAnonymous, not me!

Fake FAQ
Q: Should I download the demo or just take the scripts from this topic?
A: If you're a RGSS2 beginner, I suggest getting the demo. The detailed instructions are included in the demo only, it isn't included in this topic. If you're already experienced with RGSS2 (mostly window-related) you probably don't really need the instructions so you can grab the scripts from the topic instead. It still have some instructions and examples, so you can get by.

Credit
- Aindra
- Tomy / MrAnonymous if you use KGC_CustomMenuCommand script along with my scripts.

Thanks
- MrAnonymous (for helping me with putting the scene script into the menu.)
- #rmvx IRC chat for testing my script and reported a bug.

Author's Notes
This is my first public script. Please do excuse me if there are some bugs in my script, or the codes aren't that streamlined. I did my best and I'm willing to accept any criticism, no matter how harsh it is. I'm also willing to listen to any suggestion.

I would like to make the templates but I'm not sure what type of the templates you might be interested to have. So I probably won't be making new templates until somebody give me a template suggestion.

[Sasame Kiryu]

Ahh, pretty nice stuff. It can be anything from a synopsis to an encyclopedia.

What I'm really liking is the diversity to make it what you want. This is good stuff. I've been looking for something simple like this for a phone system, though I failed at scripting it on my own.

Thanks.

[Aeon-XIII]

this is cool,when i checked the npc part,it reminded me of the game radiata stories,and it wasnt hard to make it work,thx aindra for this script

[woratana]

Nice

You're finally write your own script.

[Aindra]

Sasame Kiryu
Thank you. I was worried that my explanation isn't that clear enough but I'm glad you know how diverse it is. Good luck!

Aeon-XIII
That's a relief that you found it easy. ^_^

Woratana
Hey there! :D Nice to see you again.
Yup, I finally made my own script. Hehe. I learned a lot by making it. Bye bye! :)

[rentual]

Hey Aindra great work I love this script. Only one question but, how do I remove it from the menu and have it popup during a conversation?
To bring it up in a conversation I'd just call it right?

[Aindra]

You can call it but... it's binded to the menu. It'll exit to the menu, not map. I'll update the script to make it possible for you to call it from the map and have it exit to the map.

Unfortunately, it's pretty late so I'm going to sleep now. I'll do it tomorrow. Please be patient. :)

Ok sweet thanks, I didn't expect so fast a reply . With the exit to map thing will it cancel the event if its in the middle of an event or continue the event. Btw keep up the good work, your beginner school tutorial thing is great.

[Aindra]

All right. I updated the demo and scripts with 1.1 version. Grab it from there if you want.

If you want to update your 1.0 scripts, read this:

Spoiler:

If you already went through a lot to customize your Custom Page & Block script, please do not update Custom Page & Block script 1.1 version. It'll cancel your hard work, so instead you can do this:

Replace the section in Custom Page & Block script with this:

CODE

# All numbers that ends with "1" is the main list.
# All numbers that ends with "2" is the branch list.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # If you don't want Custom List to appear on the menu, use DISABLE_MENU = true
  # Note: If you disable it, you can still call it from the map.
  DISABLE_MENU = false

And you're fine. Page Templates script is untouched at all so you don't need to update it neither. However, you have to update Custom List script, if you want to use the new features!

--------

New Features in v1.1
You can now disable Custom List menu access if you do not want it to appear in the menu.
You can now call Custom List from the map, and it will exit to the map when the player is done looking at it.
You can now call Custom Page from the map. It'll bring a specific page up, and exit to the map when the player is done looking at it.

CODE

QUICK REFERENCES:
- Call Custom List
$scene = Scene_Custom_List.new(0, 0, false)
- Call Custom Page
$scene = Scene_Custom_List.new(list, index, true)

--------

rentual, when you call it in the event, the event will wait until the player exits, then continue. It will not cancel the event.

Great, thanks Aindra.

[Aindra]

rentual, no problem. :)

I added a couple templates (Shop and Statistics) into Page Templates. You can find them in new script and add them into yours if you wish to use them. You can view the screenshots to see them or play the demo.

I'm out of the ideas of what to do with this script so I probably won't do anything now and after, unless somebody make some suggestions or bug reports.

[rentual]

Hey Aindra its not appearing ingame when I call it all the pages are blank. I've probly done it wrong but I cant see anything that looks wrong. Sorry to take anymore of your time but heres my page script could you have a quick look at it please?

Rentual,i was just looking your code,and im not sure(im a noob in scripting),but your text you added look like the example aindra put in the demo,the one about the "cooking book"and you're missing a line in the code

i repeat it again,im not 100% sure this is your problem,but its a posibility,

[Aindra]

Yes, you did it wrong. Don't worry about bothering me. :) I like to help people. By the way, can you please put your script behind the spoiler? It's long.

You did not put anything in the title, so it will crash on you when it works properly. I suggest you to do something about it. :)

And another problem, way it lays out, your draw_line (and font settings) are in when 5 page. So you need to take that end and move it above spacing and directly under when 5 contents.

It's like this:

CODE

when 5
contents = ["your stuff here"]
end # <===========
#----------------
spacing = 20
#----------------
draw_list(10, 40, spacing, 478, contents)
self.contents.font.size = 30
self.contents.font.bold = true
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.draw_text(10, 10, width - 30, WLH + 10, title)
self.contents.font.size, self.contents.font.bold, self.contents.font.color =
Font.default_size, Font.default_bold, normal_color
<======== end was here
end

Aeon-XIII
Nah, he doesn't need to do that if he already put it underneath all when index. I admit, it's pretty handy move so you don't have to repeat the line for every page if they all use same template.

[Aeon-XIII]

well,good for me,i did learned something new today,XD

[rentual]

Sweet thanks guys I'll try it right now .
Edit: It keeps coming up with this error:

In this script, you can change many settings, add the list objects, and add

I already warned you that would happen. :)

You did not put anything in the title, so it will crash on you when it works properly. I suggest you to do something about it. :)

Why it happened is because of this line:

self.contents.draw_text(10, 10, width - 30, WLH + 10, title)

It tries to draw the title you did not specify. If you don't wish to have a title for pages, you can remove it. Or go to your pages, and insert this line:

title = "Warrior"

something like it.

[rentual]

I knew that I was testing you . Thanks again Aindra I should be fine now, at least for a while.

[Friederic]

Is there anyway to call a branched list and limit the player selection only for that branched list?

The idea is to call directly a branched list without using the main list... Is it possible?

Thanks.

Nope, you can't do it with current version.

I'll add that feature. It might take a while because I'm pretty busy in next few days so I'll see if I can find some time for it.
