RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 07-16-2025
A bit o news on my endeavors.
First, the bad:
Well, I accidentally deleted my male-lefthanded strapless dress. Ugh, that took a while to work on. However, not as long as I expect the kimonos to take. The male left-handed kimonos are in the works right now. Given it has a more visible and flowing robe like seam and open sleeves, it should be understandable that kimonos of any design would take some time to finish.
And the Lip Sync editor that I was working on is currently stalled. This delay is in part of the Windows Widgets, my project to create Microsoft™ windows like buttons, checkboxes and lists. The system had some issues that needed repair, such as the right-click window actively breaking at some point during the combo-box system's creation. So before I can continue with the Lip Sync editor, I must push on with the Widgets themselves.
Second, the good:
The Left-handed kimonos currently have 36 (of 192) animation cels complete. That may not seem like a lot... but I am doing said work in the mornings during breakfast.
And the issue with the right-click option has itself been repaired. For this, I now have separate LIST and LISTBOX widgets where I only had the one.
- The List widget is a basic list of whatever data you have in it. However, the vertical size of the list is based on how many items, and cannot be vertically resized by any command except by the addition or removal of list items. However, its design works best with the right-click list-display feature. And if you define a list within a window form that itself scrolls (with either a vertical or horzontal scrolling bar), it does scroll with the window itself.
- The ListBox widget allows you to set the vertical and horizontal size of the window, and thus you can also scroll through them with an attached vertical scrollbar. It works as one would expect for the classic Windows ListBox, but it does not function properly with the right-click list feature. And due to its design, being a scrolling list of its own, it does not scroll with a scroling window as the List widget above.
BOTH the List and Listbox widgets will move WITH any window that can be repositioned (dragged and dropped). But the ListBox widget will not properly scroll if the window attached has scrollbars of its own.
I'm going to take a little break. But I will proceed with some cleanup duty which is definitely necessary to remove any extraneous and unnecessary code. I will also be looking into area-of-effect issues with combo boxes when combo boxes are closed/collapsed, and a means to make any drawn window invisible/hidden and thus make the widgets attached just as hidden and inactive.
I also need to figure out a means for a right-click window to select an individual 'item' in a list window rather than assuming it is clicking the widget itself. Click on a chekcbox, it reads the checkbox and knows if it is on/off. But a list? Nope. Gotta figure THAT one out.
The only OTHER widget I can think that would need creation is a Text Entry widget. That would have need of a full keyboard script. My current WIP project is using the Aleworks Write-Lite project that does have mouse support, full keyboard and text entry. However, it has issues with use of any gamepad (either he broke it or never finished it with Write Lite I guess), and the Write Lite text entry system has a lotta Sprite generation that makes hiding it as a widget near impossible. NEAR impossible... not impossible. So I will eventually have need to see about a Text widget of my own.
IF you are the user of Aleworks Write Lite, using a Gamepad will crash your project as it is not properly recognized:
FIX (of a sort):
Go to the ALibrary script which is the CORE library for the system.
Go to line 387 of the script, it should read: JoyGetPosEx.call(j, buffer, 72)
Change the line to read: JoyGetPosEx.call(j, buffer) #, 72)
Save.
When done, the whole method should read:
def get_joycaps(j)
buffer = [0, 0].pack('I2')
buffer += ' ' * 32
buffer += [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0].pack('L9')
JoyGetPosEx.call(j, buffer) #, 72) ◄▬▬
unpacked = buffer[0, 4].unpack('I2')
unpacked << buffer[4, 32].delete("\0")
unpacked << buffer[36, 36].unpack('L9')
unpacked
end
The actual JoyPadPosEx call (shown below) only has two parameters, not three as Vgvgf entered within the above displayed method. And that is the cause of the crash for those using the script in conjunction with a gamepad.
JoyGetPosEx = Win32API.new('winmm', 'joyGetPosEx', 'LP', 'L')
This is solely a quickfix, and will disable your Gamepad from functioning. However, it will prevent game crashes.
On the plus-side, I wrote the MOUSE configuration section to work with virtually any mouse script that contains the following input options:
- update_left_trigger?
- update_right_trigger?
- update_left_dbl_click?
- update_right_dbl_click?
- update_left_press?
- update_right_press?
- update_left_release?
- update_right_release?
- update_left_repeat?
- update_right_repeat?
This is so I can branch away from VGVGF's input system if another appears with suitable input options if one appears... and with little to no difficulty.
Not that I use right press, right release or right double-click. But its a very simple line substitution system I created.
RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 07-18-2025
I might have the use of the 'Right-Click Window' in the list menus beat.
But I still have the Expandable/Combo window clickable area to deal with.I can now make individual windows invisible and restore them. One could suggest it as a variation of Minimize/Maximize.
But making the windows invisible doesn't halt widget processing as you can still click the widgets
even invisible, as well as the hover-over-item option.I also have to tie the visibility of scrolling listboxes (and by that comboboxes) into the visibility option. And there's a slight graphics refresh issue when making the title and scroll bars re-visible.
But more functional progress.
RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 07-20-2025
Nearly every basic mouse-driven object used in a general Windows application has been crafted within my Windows Widgets project!
The Icon Box feature is not a standard feature, so that may be left alone for now. It needs work as it only assumes transferring of one data type to another, but has no recognition for quantity like many games would suggest.
What is left?
KEYBOARD.
Just as I crafted a rudimentary mouse-configuration page so one can use whatever mouse script they have, I will have to determine how and implement a similar page for a variety of full-keyboard scripts.
I think I did very well. 
RE: What's up, RMers? - Remi-chan - 07-21-2025
Ran out of time last week, but this week is different!
Remi-Chan
Disk 1 Boss Main Story Battle Recodes
I finished with Lyza's recode and got a video set up to showcase it and her new introduction cinematic.
But if you thought that was all i had done, you'd be mistaken! Not only did I spruce up some of the animations, but also...
Fantasia Scene 05: Isosceles Arrive
Old version of this felt too basic and boring so I opted to make it more sensory and aggressive, with backtraced lines from the Insidious Architect to give it more dramatas... the visuals are the main upgrade though.
Pjcr
The Fowlhunters of Zen Nekoma
Pjcr popped off last week and got me several files, six of the eight fowlhunter portraits are in my hands and more are on the way. Only Robin is missing.

Rose and Rosalie are Risedemos' design. So is Robin but she will come later.
Coyotecraft
Yasondre Chub Edition

Now with her scarf! :3
RE: What's up, RMers? - Steel Beast 6Beets - 07-25-2025
I must say I really like Yasondre's chuby sprites.
RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 07-27-2025
But when she gets that way, keep her away from your fridge, pantry, ice box, freezer or any local food court.
RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 07-28-2025
Since the basic Kimono graphics for the Half Kaiser Battler Project have been finished...
... I began work on revising their Obis, or silk cloth belt.
The basic obi design for right-handed characters are done, though annoying to recreate. I now focus on making those for left-handed characters. Oh.... joy.....
Meanwhile, I had worked to repair the issues I had with the WIndows Widgets for RPGMaker, and as a test of its completion began reworking what I crafted for my Lipsync system editor. So far, so good. The new textbox system works beautifully in place of what I had before. But the copy/paste/clear record functions that can be triggered with the menu's right-click option is flaky and needs repair.
Expected since I did a lot of reworks.
RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 08-03-2025
Left-handed poses always takes time...
This peach Kimono is not a hue-adjusted version
but one of the pre-colored alternates.
She's looking nice with a more lavender, classic-styled, Fukuro Obi around her waist, but this left-handed sprite doesn't have a complete obi set. It does take time to ensure animations are fluid, four-frames or not. And I still have the Tied knot and Wrap obis to create, let alone versions for the male physique.
but one of the pre-colored alternates.

So if any female wants to be a pro samurai, she gotta wear a nightgown now!?
RE: What's up, RMers? - DerVVulfman - 08-03-2025
Those are kimonos, not ō-yoroi, dō-maru or dō forms of Japanese armor used from the 8th to 16th century. But I wouldn't discount an expert with a katana in any garb they adorn.
