Rpg maker mv как изменить главное меню

RPGMaker VX ACE tutorial

Hi there! So earlier I posted looking for help on how to build a custom Menu, after looking around and with a bit of trial and error, I was able to figure something out.

And because I find it really irritating to be stuck in simple things like these while making a game, I’m going to try and teach you the method I used!
No custom scripts used. Although You can use some, as I will show you further down.

This is the result we are expected to create.

1. Disabling the default Menu and creating a custom Choice Menu

First what we have to do is to disable the normal Menu from the Script editor by turning:

@menu_disabled = true

You can find this under Game_System, on line 24.

Now, the Menu is disabled throughout the game.

Now, create an event somewhere on your map. This Event will have to be pasted on every map so that the Menu can be accessible, if you don’t want the Menu to be accessible, just don’t paste the event on the specific map.
As for the code:

@>Change Menu Access: Disable 
@>conditional branch: The B button is being pressed   
  @>Wait: 10 frames
  @>Show Choices: : Resume, Items, Save, Exit
      : When [Resume]
      @> Exit Event Processing
      : When [Items]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Item)
      : When [Save]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Save)
      : When [Exit]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_End)
      : Branch End
  @>
:Branch End  

Easy right? Let me break down the code for you:

@>Change Menu Access: Disable  

This is a safety measure to ensure that the default Menu is disabled, also in case I forget to disable it in the Script Editor, like we did a few minutes ago.

@>conditional branch: The B button is being pressed     

This is a conditional branch checking if you are pressing the B button (the same button you press to access the default Menu, ESC or 0).

@>Wait: 10 frames 

This allows the menu to smoothly appear after an interval of time, instead of instantly, so that if the player continuously presses the Esc or 0 key, the Menu doesn’t flicker on and off.

@>Show Choices: : Resume, Items, Save, Exit
      : When [Resume]
      @> Exit Event Processing
      : When [Items]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Item)
      : When [Save]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Save)
      : When [Exit]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_End)
      : Branch End     

This right here is what enables the little Menu window and gives it options. The scripts (@>script: SceneManager.call (Scene_…) are the scripts that call the sane Menu command options that the default Menu uses.

So basically what you are doing here replacing the default Menu window with your own (using a Show Choices command, because this way you can control which options are presented and when, like I will show you a few steps further).

2. Extra Choice Menu options

^{(As RpgMaker only allows you to place 4 choices)}

Now if you want to add more Menu Options, then I recommend getting this script, that combines Choice Menus, created by Hime, here’s a tutorial on how to use it.

Soon you’ll be able to extend your menu as long as you want, and you can even create events that add new options to the menu after certain switches or variables are activated.

For example, using the above script, you can aggregate Choice Menus by placing them one under another, kinda like the ‘show text’ works, so like this:

   @>Change Menu Access: Disable
   @>conditional branch: The B button is being pressed   
      @>Wait: 10 frames
      @>Show Choices: : Resume, Quest Log, Items, Save,
          : When [Resume]
             @> Exit Event Processing
          : When [Quest Log]
             @>Script: call_quest_journal
          : When [Items]
             @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Item)
          : When [Save]
             @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Save)
        : Branch End
      @>Show Choices: Exit
          : When [Exit]
             @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_End)
        : Branch End
    @>
   :Branch End  

And so on, so on. In the above case I had a custom script enabling me to call a quest log from the Script Manager, but since rpg maker only allows for 4 choices at once I ran out of space.
So what I did was to just add a new ‘Add Choices’ bellow the first one above, the script I provided earlier allows that choices will now be extended.
Will look like this.

And of course you can create Conditional Menus, imagine this;
Your character gains the ability to save, and you want to add a save menu in that same mape after a Switch is turned on.
This is what you’d do:

@>Change Menu Access: Disable
@Conditional Branch: Switch [0024: Unlock Save Option] == ON
   @>Conditional branch: The B button is being pressed   
      @>Wait: 10 frames
      @>Show Choices: : Resume, Items, Save, Exit
        : When [Resume]
      @> Exit Event Processing
        : When [Items]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Item)
        : When [Save]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Save)
        : When [Exit]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_End)
      : Branch End
  : Else
   @>Conditional branch: The B button is being pressed   
      @>Wait: 10 frames
      @>Show Choices: : Resume, Items, Exit
        : When [Resume]
      @> Exit Event Processing
        : When [Items]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_Item)
        : When [Exit]
      @>Script: SceneManager.call(Scene_End)
     : Branch End
@>
:Branch End  

What’s happening here is that after the Switch [0024: Unlock Save Option] is turned ON, the Menu will receive a new option, the ‘Save’ Option. And if that same switch is OFF, it will only present the ‘Resume’, ‘Items’ and ‘Exit’ options.
Now all you have to do is bind that [0024: Unlock Save Option] switch to an event so that you can activate the ‘Save’ option in your custom Menu.

So this is it!

TL;DR:

• You need to place the Menu Event containing the Code on every Map! (as a better alternative you can place them as Common Events and trigger them with a switch.)

• Run it as a Parallel Process!

• If you want more choice options, install this script!

• Get familiarized with the Script Editor, even if you don’t create scripts, there’s a lot of useful vanilla stuff you can do with call commands.

If you have any doubts I’ll be happy to clarify, within my knowledge.
