do u need custom menu GFX or Scripting?

Instead of asking us to do one for you would it not be better to ask how to do one? And not knowing how to do one is not an excuse.

First of all, tell me what should be in the CMS.

A small tut:

-Create a new map with a meny looking chipset or a picture in the back.

-If you have letters on the chipset use them, if not import a charset with letters.Or if you have the words already.

-Put the letters/words together untill you have everything you need.

-Create a new map for each part of it(Item,Equip,Status ect).

-Limit the walking on the map so you just can move up and down,
-Put a event(Below hero) at the begining of the word, and when you click, tint screen and teleport the the map(for example items). For the Save, just put a event to open up the save screen. The Quit is a question and if Yes, Return to Title screen.
 
Create a Event to forbid the default menu.

<>Main Menu Access:Forbid

And for those times you may not use the menu, create a Switch called 'Menu Disabled'


-Enter Common event and create a new event(parralel proses).

<>Branch: Switch [****:Menu Disabled] is ON
<>
:Else Handler
<>Key Input Proc: [****:Cancel](The cancel button)
<> Memorize Location: [****ID].[****X].[****Y]
<>Tint Screen: (R000 G000 B000 S100) 1.sec(wait)
<>Change Sprite Association: Hero1 Charset1
<>Teleport:****:Mapname (cords.cords),Face down.
<>Tint Screen: (R100 G100 B100 S100) 1.sec(wait)
<>Switch operation: [****:Menu Disabled] ON
<>

:End
<>
------------------
This one let you got to your CMS map.

And then create a event in your Menu map:

(Auto start)
<>Key Input Proc: [****:Cancel](The cancel button)
<>Tint Screen: (R000 G000 B000 S100) 1.sec(wait)
<>Recall to Location: V[****ID].(V[****X].V[****Y])
<>Change Sprite Association: Hero1 Charset1
<>Tint Screen: (R100 G100 B100 S100) 1.sec(wait)
<>Switch operation: [****:Menu Disabled] OFF
<>
------------
This one makes you go back to the same place you stood when you presses the Cancel button.

This should be pretty easy to understand.(I hope)

BTW, why do you start each word with a capitol letter?

Of all the...

*sigh*


You ask us all these questions about your game...
AND YOU HAVE THE GAUL TO ASK ABOUT A CMS?!?!?!?!?!?!
a game and learn to program before even trying such a feat
Hell no!

Finish a game or learn to program ON YOUR OWN before trying such a thing.

Using maps for a CMS don't work in ABS games.

[drenrin2120]

You don't know how to make a CBS and you're attemping an ABS? Dude, I'd suggest using the default systems to make your first game, as you get more comfortable with rm2k/3 you'll get better at coding. I don't think you should attempt making much of anything custom at this point in time.

Besides, if someone else makes you a CMS not only will it prolly go to waste but what if you wanted to make a new item? You wouldn't know how, or what if something changed in your game and you had to edit something in your CMS? You couldn't. What I'm saying is everyone's first game never gets finished, maybe a demo, but that's it. Use your first game as a stepping stone.

If you still really REALLY want this, then the only other thing you can do is open up the help file, study some tuts, and look at coding from other games. In my opinion though, experience is the best teacher.

dragoon de sol i know how to use

the program, like to trigger events

you have to go to a seperate event

and click switch and either create a

switch or use a switch let's say if we

were going to make a tutorial let's say

we killed the grunts so if i want the

instructor to  talk after thier dead i would

just put the switch killed grunts

so dont say i dont know how to use

rm2k3 i do know i just need a tut to

help with cms

[Linkizcool]

 Here are some tuts. Try the one that shows how to make a picture cms, they're much easier.

[Shadowless1]

most of all your posts are requests?, try searching google for cms tuts, i found some right away when i searched

and try googling it first before asking every time you have a request or problem

[ZeroKirbyX]

Why are you typing like Lonewolf? Don't steal his style man.

[Shadowless1]
