Animated Gradient Bars V4.0.1

[Mac]

This deserves more attention! Everybody get here and download and post feedback *shakes fist*

I really like this script, its easily customizable and so far i haven't bumped into any bugs so its smooth sailing ^_^, shall report back if anything goes wrong.

And it works mostly with the TBS But I noticed one thing in that combination, there when in tac.battle the bars are drawn but seem to be streched and clipped so that the gradient is no more visible, and they don't get smaller when damage is taken ...
Maybe this is something Mac and Trickster could work out together

It seems that this script doesn't work with XRXS's Full View Battler. It gives an error. Can I request a merge with the script? Thanks.

When you say you can use these bars anywhere, does the demo come with instructions for using to represent qualities aother than HP and SP, like a Limit guage?

 

[Trickster]

yes there is a commented section on that

Updated to V3.3.3 (Lucky Trio of 3's) There should be no more problems with the bars appearing when they don't need to be

Compatibility
.....I am not promising compatibility with all other battle addons, but if there is then it is something minor, inform me and I'll create a patch (depends)

Hmmm. I've been asked by a number of people just why my 'Animated Battlers' script removes your HP, MP and AT bars. Frankly... 'Why ARE they disappearing?' O_o Happens in-battle only, not in the field menu. Seems inquiring minds want to know... :wink01:

 

[Trickster]

Its because of this

viewport.z = 99

The Bars depend on that viewport now all windows's viewport is 100 the viewport of the bars is 99 the window is displayed over the bars

Also I'm moving this to the Gradient Bars topic

 

[Trickster]

Updated to 3.4

Cleaned up code (dependent on the window sprites script)
SDK 2.0 compatible now

 

[DerVVulfman]

Code looks sweet... I like it. And thanks for the fix (my fix... nothing wrong with "T's".)

Edit: when I change the bar opacity, the background op will not change. I'm adding this

class Sprite_GradientBar
  def opacity=(value)
    super(value)
    self.background.opacity = value
  end
end

Edit: just found a bug when selecting an actor to heal (using item or skill). I noticed the error is happening when calling draw_actor_hp from Window_Help#set_actor.

Script 'Window_Base' line 48: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

I can't understand why, but the window is not initializing @hp_bar_sprites hash (i believe the same will happen with @sp_bar_sprites)

I'm getting a script error that says:
http://imageigloo.com/images/666script error.JPG[/img]
after entering a battle. I got it after putting in the Passive Effect script...can the two be used together?
Also, the same time I got the script error, this
http://imageigloo.com/images/7742bars f\'ed up.JPG[/img]
started happening after opening then exiting the menu. The same happens in the menu screen.

So, can the gradient bar and passive effects scripts not be used together?

What other scripts have you added to your project

Ok, for the script post it in a new topic I'm sure other people could make use of it :D

And I can not duplicate the error you are getting could you give me more info on how you got it

Also I am working on MACL 2.0 (since Seph ruined my 1 update per month plan) rewriting all of the code that is included with it, some things need to be changed with it.

 

[freakishfae]

I got both errors after putting the Passive Effects scripts in. I know it's that because I removed all the scripts I had pasted from the demo and neither of these problems happened. So, it seems like this is the problem. Is there some way to fix the compatability issue? I hope so, because I really like both scripts.

 

[Trickster]

No, you don't have a script that is required

Animated Gradient Bars requires the script Window Sprites

which is why you see the bars appearing in weird places

(Didn't you get a message saying that that script was required?)

 

[Trickster]

Updated to Version 3.6

Cleaned up code
Fixed Flourishing Colors (A Bug in MACL caused this)

 

[Landarma]

By the way, with your Advanced Targetting, I could see that HP/SP bars in Target Window cannot be updated correctly.

 

[don004]

umm. a little help here?

it says :

Script 'Actor (HP|SP|EXP) Bars' line 12: NoMethodError Occurred.

undefined method `viewport2' for nil:NilClass

what could be the solution here?
im using the RPG maker v1.02 and SDK 2.1 and that class library thing v1.5

can someone help me? or i should let u ppl download my scripts and fix it down?

**im trying being polite but im too nervous to do that xD**

 

[Trickster]

Ok, lets see

$scene.spriteset is nil which can not be

What parts of the SDK have you added?

 

[don004]

Part I, II and III

w8 that error doesn't appear anymore ( i think ) but another one comes...

it says

Script 'Window Sprites' line 18: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method `check_requirements' for SDK:Module

well that what's wrong..

what i did is:

1. downloaded ur demo
2. copied all the scripts
3. Erk error occurred

 

[Trickster]

Are you using any kind of custom battle system?

Give me more information what scripts have you added to your project?
