Title: CMS help
Post by: Yuffit on January 19, 2012, 03:24:04 AM
Hiyo! I am currently working on using a CMS in my upcoming game.
But, there are quite a few issues of which i need some pointers/clarification/HALP

1. i would like the initial menu to display the party member's face picture / Hp/mp/lvl you know, much like the DMS.
(basically, i plan on it being a tweaked version of the dms, just with a few other modifications, well alot of them. new features and the sort.)

2. I dont seem to get how a custom menu (let's use the Equipment menu as an example) So, how would you make it to display the stat changes/equipment and whatnot (the stat changes worry me the most, due to the apparency that you need a custom picture event for each number and number possibility D:)
For a visual of what i kind of want the menu system to lean towards, look up the "Forbidden Saga" Rm2k3 game... youtube has enough display of the idea.
(Basically, have it to where it shows the items, and shows which ones you can equip, feature the ability to equip it, and display and put into effect the stat changes/status effects involving that piece of equipment. And i pray it is possible without making a cbs.. i HATE the zelda-looking cbs's, and it is pretty much mandatory that mah game feature having a party and whatnot. heh. me and my impossible requests.)

many more problems are existing, and may very well arise, but i want to start with the biggest issues first.


so.


Ciao! :3

Well, for the numbers, you only need pictures for 0-9.  You use the Mod variable operation as a way to figure out each digit in a number.  Here is an example on that:
