Tidloc's Header v.2.0
by Tidloc

Introduction
I've decided to use this header instead of implementing everything inside my scripts as I first encountered the error of the stack going to deep by aliasing...
It's used by most of my script for saving/loading different additional things in save games or use old windows (with which i'm very much more experienced then the new ones)

Features
- It's simply the header of my other scripts ;-)
- you may alter the count of accessiores your actors can equip.
- you can add other item-categories

Screenshot

How to Use
paste it of course above main, below all standart-scripts, but also above all of my scripts!
For altering the count of Accessoires, change the constant Accessoire_Count in the module Tidloc. Standard value is 1
For adding additional Item-Categories, change Item_Categories to = true. Below you can change the Names of your Categories., you are also allowed to have more then this three categories used by me, simple seperate them with comas. To assign an item to a specific category, write into its description the command

class<*ID*>

, where ID is a numeric number equal one or greater.

02/22/2012: Alchemy Script added and fixed one little bug thx to Non Ya xD
02/28/2012: Dismantling and Dynamic Shop added
03/03/2012: added the possibility to change scripts into spanish. Vocabulary already entered in Questlog
04/07/2012: some minor bugs fixed, reprogrammed some parts into better symantic and enabled calling some scripts over the main menu or by Key.
04/18/2012: some bugs fixed, now everything should work fine! =))
05/06/2012: added the popup message script and a major update to the header to version 1.5 (some bugs and some alteration for existing and future scripts made.
05/25/2012: added the compass script
05/27/2012: added the auction system and updated most of my scripts
06/02/2012: new release out! completely rewrote some parts of all scripts, especially the vocabulary party to supply multi-language games. If you update this header, all of my other scripts(if older then this point of time) also need to be updated. Also each script has now five additional constants:
Windowskin ... defines the windowskin used for this script (from the \Graphics\System folder)
Windowtone ... defines the color of the windows in this script. used as an array of the three colors, e.g.: [0,128,64]
Background ... defines if a backgroundgraphic shall be used (has to be located in the \Graphics\Pictures folder, when using this, lowering the opacity may be of use)
Opacity .......... sets the opacity of all windows in this script to the set value.
Back_BGS ..... plays this BGS if entering this script (has to be located in the \Audio\BGS folder)

I may be an idiot but when i start the game i get this error:

undefined method 'set_battle_system' for #<Game_System:0x7734f18>

What am I doing wrong?

[Facinus]

Aweome script, yet I have a small problem with it. I can load from the menu but not from the title screen.

(Genauer gesagt: Wenn ich Continue im Titelmenü auswähle, werden mir die Savestates angezeigt, aber wen ich mit Enter bestätigen möchte passiert nichts. Das Laden im Menü funktioniert jedoch ohne Probleme. Habe das Script in einem neuen Project probiert und hatte selbiges Problem.)

[Tidloc]

@Draqun: I also figured this issue and was solved the day you posted it... xD
@Facinus: Thanks for the bugreport, now it's solved and working! ^__^

[Isaac Henby]

Do we need this script to operate your other scripts?

[Tidloc]

yup, most of them, but in each script where it is required, it's state clearly, that it is so

[Abysinian]

Hey there,

Is there a way to get rid of "Manuals, Resources, Runes" from the menu because I don't use them at all.

Cheers.

Figured it out, nevermind

lol, ok. also updated the FAQ now ^^

[Andynator]

Hello

I wanted to use this script in my project with http://www.rpgmakerv...alchemy-script/

I installed the header first, and under the header the alchemy script. But every time, i start the game, i get the message:


Script 'tidloc_header' line 595: No MethodError occured.
undefined method 'load_alch_data' for Tidloc_Alch:Class

A compatibility issue is out of the question, because this problem occures even with an new, empty project.

Is there any way to fix ist?

[The Welsh Paddy]

Well, for some reason the laptop I am using can't open .rb files. I don't suppose you could up this as .txt by any chance?

EDIT: Actually it's okay. I got the script from the Demo for your Questlog script. Cheers! x

[Tidloc]

well, in the demo it's hardly the actual version of the scripts...
how to open .rb-files, three ways(if one isn't possible on your PC go to the next)
1. have notepad++ or any other scripting/compiling/intepreting editor
2. right-click file, select edit
3. right-click file, select open with, choose editor or notepad

[Andynator]

Really Nobody, who has a clue to my problem?

I download the demo from http://www.rpgmakerv...alchemy-script/ to test it again and again. But the game crashes instantly, if i try to start the demo as a game, or a test game... obviously i'm the only one, with this problem, but it seems impossible to me, make the script work.

Test the Demo? Crash.
Test with my Game-Project? Crash
Test with an Empty Project? Crash
Test as Administrator? Crash

... Where is my Mistake? Why forces the header my RPG-Maker to crash, every Time i install the Alchemy-Script? The Failur Message is either

Script 'tidloc_header' line 595: No MethodError occured.
undefined method 'load_alch_data' for Tidloc_Alch:Class

in my game. Or

Script 'tidloc's_Alchemy' line 677: SyntaxError occured.
unexpected keyword_end, expecting $end

in the demo.

@Andynator
err... first you could take a look into your PMs... (wrote you like over a week ago!)
or here in short:
did you download the most recent versions of my scripts?
I'm using these scripts without any problems...
Regarding the demo: updated the link, but somehow it only updated the visual part, not the link itself too... corrected that please try again (demo-link was way outdated)
but if you intend to use my scripts, I recommend to download the most actual versions (the .rb-files in the corresponding threads)

[Megumi]

Hello there. I am attempting to use your header in conjunction with your alchemy script. I have not modded the scripts in any way but simply placed them as is within the script editor. When I run a playtest of my game I keep getting this error: "unable to find file: data idloc.ini"

I am a complete newbie to all of this so I have no idea what that means. My apologies.

Edited by zogoto3000, 02 July 2012 - 03:37 PM.

[Tidloc]

I'm quite sure it said tidloc.ini, the point is you need a file called tidloc.ini in your data-folder, as described in the thread of my alchemy script. if you follow the steps there, you will get it running in no time, but you have to write all the recipes by yourself in that file

[Megumi]

Thanks you so much Sir Tidloc I am very appreciative of your help. I've got the script running smoothly with my game now.

[Konora]

Hmm, regarding the "Manuals, Resources, Runes" thing...what are they for? Because I want to use them, but I don't know how. Unless they're useless and there for nothing.

[Tidloc]

these additional item classes can be used be setting the notetag

class<*id*>

for the items. (not working with weapons or armors)

where 1 is the the first additional category, 2 is the second,....
if you want to keep the item in the normal item-view, then leave this notetag out

Edit: also updated the How To above to line that out!

Hi, just made an account to ask this and I'm a complete newbie so forgive me if it's really obvious XD
I just installed the Header and haven't changed it at all. It works but as soon as I try to access the Weapons menu in my game it crashes and gives this error:
Script 'Tidloc Header' line 1030: NameError occured.
uninitialized constant Window_ItemList_2::Game_CustomEquip
I have no other scripts installed but your message window one and your quest system. I'm not sure if it might be affecting things but I'd created a new weapon type before adding this script called 'Hair Ornaments' and set one character to start off with them equipped. (Don't ask. The guy fights by flicking his hair at people XD) But I also made new classes and new armor types and no errors there...
EDIT: Actually upon double-checking it gives the error for armor as well. I think it must be my custom types that's the problem, I just can't figure out how I'm meant to make the script recognise them. God, I'm useless! XD
EDIT: Okay now I don't even know what was wrong but I seemed to fix it by changing:
when :weapon
item.is_a?(RPG::Weapon) || (item.is_a?(Game_CustomObject) && item.object.is_a?(RPG::Weapon))
to
when :weapon
item.is_a?(RPG::Weapon) || (item.is_a?(RPG::Weapon) && item.object.is_a?(RPG::Weapon))
Looks very repetitive now but works just like it did before inserting the header. I am officially baffled.

P.S: Thank you so much for the Questlog script! Just wondering- is there any way to change the description scroll keys? (pageUp and pageDown by default, I wanted to perhaps change it to the up and down on the num pad) I found it a little unintuitive and would never have guessed what to press if it weren't for the demo.
I'm attempting to repurpose this into an info encyclopedia so there's gonna be a lot of scrolling. By the way, the external loading add-on is really awesome! Much easier for a confused noob :3

[Tidloc]

thanks for your interest in my scripts ^^

yes, this lines are for a script I work for and I know that issue... this (let's call it a) beta-version of my header shouldn't be up, at some time I copied it and the old one is now unfortunately gone.

Yes, there is a way, but only if you got some kind of keyboard-script too, because by default these keys are not sampled by RGSS. (I made it this way, so it can be used by nearly everyone xD )
And that's what the demo is for: to show the functionality ;P
fyi, these keys are defined in lines 795 and 797
