Plugin LTN's Window Pop

[LTN Games]

I've been creating a plugin for the last week as a way to introduce myself to some aspects of scripting for MV. I chose the smart route and made it a plugin I will be using in my own game as well as be sharing either for the resource pack for the community or just uploading to the resource database, I'm not too sure yet to be honest.
Anyways it’s called Window Pop, and it's an easy way to display a message without interrupting gameplay. So for example you receive a new quest and a window in the top left corner just like the Map name display will pop up and display an Icon and a message you choose.

Terms Of Use ( When Available)
Free for non-commerical and commerical games with credit to LTN Games.
Current Features:

• You will have the ability to change the position on the screen the window is displayed,
• Change the width of the window.
• You can change the duration of the window before it disappears.
• Choose any icon in your icon sheet.
• Choose any string you want to display.

Right now this is very similar to Yannfly’s Gab Window script for VX Ace, but that will soon change.

What I have planned for it:

• An automatic item pop up, so that the window displays the item and icon of the item and quantity with every time you gain or lose an item in inventory. As well as the option to enable or disable this feature.
• Plugin commands instead of the old script calls it currently uses.

• Choose a sound effect to play on popup
• Change Text Color
• Change BG color or add BG image
  
• The ability to show a small picture. (Maybe?)

What would you like to see in this plugin?

Thanks for stopping by :D

That's impressive! You create your very first plugin. Daaaaaaaamn 0_0
Can this plugin interract with passive states?

Yea my very First publicly released plugin for MV :D It's exciting, but it's a lot of work when you're not as pro as some scripters lol. As for the passive states I'm not sure I know what you mean, is it compatible? or do you want it to pop up with the states?
[doublepost=1448042262,1448035727][/doublepost]Looking for some beta testers for this plugin. If anyone is interested in testing it out please leave a message here or PM me and I will make sure you get a link to the plugin.
Thanks :D

Oppps Double posted.... Naughty me
[doublepost=1448134293][/doublepost]UPDATE: Window will pop on all items gained, which shows the amount, the item name, and the item icon, this also works for gold gained, and you can change the icon for the gold pop in the plugin manager. A sound effect will play when activated. You have the option to turn off the Auto pop as well as change the sound effect played. You can choose if you want the Gradient or an image, you can also change the gradient colors to your liking. Just a few more features I want to add and then it should be ready to go.

Let's say that you walk somewhere with hazards and then you get poisoned. Therefore, the message pop-ups and then it says who got poisoned. That's the idea I meant ^^

That is a good one, I will see what I can do, should be fairly easy. Thanks for the idea :D

How nice! just bother me with anything, PM or skype if there is anything more ;)

I have completed this plugin with as many features as I could get into it, but I left out the states feature @Rise Evil mentioned and the Change Text Color feature. I may include this in later updates. For now though this will not be released for another few days until I figure out what I want to do with it. Advent Calander, RT Staff, or just a normal upload. Expect more plugins from me now that I have a decent handle on JS concepts. Thank you. :D

 

[Rise Evil]

You did a great work nevertheless ^^

 

[David FoxFire]

You've been doing great so far, especially when you were learning Object Oriented Javascript while you were doing this. I'll be looking forward to it no matter where you post it.

Looks very nice so far
Could you possibly add an option to display how many the party has of an item instead of just how many is gained?

I really like this idea, give me some time to think about how I want it implemented and you can expect it in the next update, which will be soon. As of right now here is the next update changelog.

Version 1.05 -Fixed Reg-Ex Bug.
-Added more map display name options, you can now choose to use
sound effects for the map name pop up and set the timer for how long
it stays open.
-Added a timer setting for auto item pop, you can now set the
amount of time before window fades for item pop ups.

Thank you for the suggestions.

just downloaded your latest version, but upon using it it gave me an error msg. see pics.

Create a new project and insert only my Core plugin and Window Pop and let me know if you still receive an error. I don't quite remember if Window Pop required my core plugin but better safe than sorry.
