I forgot to include a screen shot of what it looked like. Thanks

Code:

this.drawActorExp(actor, x, y, 100);

doesn't work.

Try one of the alternate variable settings that are commented out above that line, you have to define the variable actor to an object container "Game_Actor". In Game_Party file "rpg_objects.js" around line#(4763) is where you see Game_Party's members data pile. One of the listed methods bellow should do it.

Code:

var actor = $gameParty.leader() // set to actor one (player sprite)
var actor = $gameParty.allMembers(id);
var actor = $gameParty.members(id)

id = actor position in Game_Party object handler. # range number (1 to party max or 4)

I think that would be how you would choose a different actor then the leader.

also gold, there's $gameparty.gold, drawcurrency, etc.. which to use, where to find??

For gold and such like that you can use the built in filter option for drawing text instead of ".drawText(*args)":

Code:

this.drawTextEx(text, X pos, Y pos)

The filters are found in file "rpg_windows.js" around line#(279) they are the same as the ones when showing in game windows FYI. Also look at ones on line#(364).

Code:


G/        : Show party gold.
/V[id]   : Show variable value using number (id)
/N[id]   : Show actor name using number (id)
/P[id]   : Show party actor name using number (id)

example:
  this.drawTextEx("G/", X pos, Y pos) // will draw gold text + extra


Or you could mimic how Window_Gold in file "rpg_windows.js" around line#(1507) does it in the window class.

Code:


this.drawCurrencyValue($gameParty.gold(), TextManager.currencyUnit, X pos, Y pos, width);


There are many options, id use either ".drawCurrencyValue(*args)" or ".drawTextEx(*args)"


There is also ".drawGauge" it can draw things like Health bars.

Code:

this.drawGauge(x, y, width, rate, color1, color2)

The argument "rate" I believe is a float, percentage (0.0 - 1.0) (0% - 100%).

It's funny you should say that, i was going to look at writing another shortly after i convert my Noob Made Extractor from reading Ruby to reading Java. Its almost done just a little more debugging and I'll be posting it. Where is the list at?

Its uploaded! http://gameface101.playogame.com/t2040-a_noob_made_extractor_rmmv_version#25544

I may have made changes to the script so i re-posted it with my current working version.

Thanks I'm crash coursing when ever I get the chance. :p

Other than that MV is really fun to use.

You should check out Noob Extractor Java Version

It maps all the RGSS classes and allows you to make comments as descriptions all read in one place.


You can also use this template i put together for laying out a new scene that uses a window class.
http://gameface101.playogame.com/t2036-sample-plugin-script

Then edit Scene_Title to call it with SceneManager.goto(Scene_Name).

the extractor is an RMXP program that reads and compiles Java code into an organized fashion showing all the built in classes and each one of the variables and functions each of those classes has. (You said you needed help with learning RGSS, that program will map all of it for you.)

Secondly, you can take a look at the sample scene i put together for use as a template and write your own code in place of the samples given in that plugin script. You wanted to add a scene to Title, so that would be how you make the scene. Then you'll just have to alias a few things with Scene_Title and you'll be able to call your custom scene like you where talking about.
