SCRIPT REQUEST - reputation script

Here are the exact problems that need to be solved for your script:

1. How to add points?
2. How to define reputation areas and add names/images to them?
3. How to display the window?

For #1 I'd suggest using ordinary variables. For #3 you'll need a script (if you want it to overlay the map, that's more complicated than being in the menu but still doable). #2 will probably require going into the script editor to change some values, and it would be easiest inside the #3 script.

Are you willing to do the scripting yourself? I can tell you exactly what you need to do. Otherwise I don't have the time to do this for you and I don't think we have other scripters active around here right now.

I hate to require this of you, but the simplest way to get the menu on the map would be to use a script I wrote with the SDK. So, install the RMXP SDK (discussion) (text file). Then install this script under it. Got it?

Now you can start scripting. Let's start with the SDK-enabled Scene_Status:

#==============================================================================
# ** Scene_Status
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This class performs status screen processing.
#==============================================================================

class Scene_Status < SDK::Scene_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Main Processing : Window Initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def main_window
    super
    # Make status window
    @status_window = Window_Status.new(@actor)
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Frame Update
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def update
    super
    # If B button was pressed
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      # Play cancel SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.cancel_se)
      # Switch to menu screen
      new_scene(nil)
      return
    end
  end
end

I've removed some redundant things to make it easier. This is basically done; just change "class Scene_Status" to something else like "class Scene_Reputation". We'll come back later for other stuff.

Next, make a copy of Window_Status from the script editor. Put it in another slot and name it something like Window_Reputation. Mess with the positioning values as you like and probably add a "self.back_opacity = 160" in def initialize to make the background translucent. You can access game variables with $game_variables[i] where i is the index you use in the event editor.

Then in Scene_Reputation, change Window_Status to Window_Reputation. This should be all you have to do.

Now you should be able to use the following call script to create the "layer":

$scene.new_layer(Scene_Reputation)

Just remove that line and any others which reference $fontsize or $fontface; these were necessary with unofficial translations of RMXP but cause errors in the official version.
