Credits Plugin – MV Plugin

      5 Comments on Credits Plugin – MV Plugin

This is a plugin that adds an entirely new scene to your game for the purpose of giving credit!


Look at the code or download the Plugin:


Credits Plugin
SumRndmDde

This is a plugin that adds an entirely new scene to your game for the
purpose of giving credit!

Anyway, here’s how you set things up:

========================================================================
Calling the Credits Page
========================================================================

In order to open the Credits, simply use the Plugin Command:

OpenCredits

Or, alternatively, you can use the script call:

SceneManager.push(Scene_SRD_Credits)

If you wish to bind it to the menu using Yanfly’s Main Menu Manager,
use the following bind:

this.openCredits.bind(this)

========================================================================
Creating Categories
========================================================================

In the Parameters, there are section for each category.
Categories are primarily meant to be things like:
Plugins, Music, Tilesets, etc…

Any category that has a name that isn’t blank will be shown in game.

========================================================================
Creating Credits
========================================================================

Underneath a category’s name is its credits.
This is simply a list of each credit you wish to give separated with
commas.

An example of this would be:

SumRndmDde, Google, The World, Dio, Butts

Each one of these will be listed in the credits window and can have
their own link and description.

========================================================================
Creating Credits File
========================================================================

To properly use this Plugin, one must also create a text file.
The text file needs to be in the data folder and called “srd-text.txt”.

Within this file, you need to create notetags to set up the links and
descriptions for each credit.

========================================================================
Setting a Link for a Credit
========================================================================

To set up a link for a credit, use the notetag within the file:

<[Name] Link: [Link]>

For example:

<SumRndmDde Link: http://sumrndm.site>

This would make it so clicking on a credit named “SumRndmDde” would open
up my site. 🙂

========================================================================
Setting a Description for a Credit
========================================================================

To set up a description for a credit, use the notetag within the file:

<[Name] Description>

</[Name] Description>

For example:

<SumRndmDde Description>
Used some random plugins.
They were pretty cool I guess.
Only used the credit one though.
I give it a 7/10.
</SumRndmDde Description>

This would make that description appear in the description window when
the credit “SumRndmDde” is highlighted.

Also keep in mind that you can use text codes!

    Hello, I have the “SRD_CreditsPlugin” and “SRD_GameUpgrade” but the game not load “SRD_GameUpgrade”
    a message appears: The “SRD_GameUpgrade” plugin is required for using the “SRD_CreditsPlugin” plugin.
    Obviously they’re all activated.

    Hey there, I have a similar problem like Mariano.
    I tried to test “SRD_CreditsPlugin” and was notified to install the “SRD_GameUpgrade” plugin. So I downloaded this plugin too and activated it. When I startet the game there was just a black screen. No main menu. No bug report. Just a black screen.
    How can I fix this?

    I am a JavaScript noob and know enough just to be dangerous. I did not want to include the SRD_GameUpgrade plugin so modified it. As far as I could tell, the SRD_CreditsPlugin makes a call to SRD.parse which is part of the SRD_GameUpgrade. To get around this, I copied the SRD.parse function into the SRD_CreditsPlugin and commented out /* */ the SRD.Requirements section. This shouldn’t break the terms of use as long as you do not redistribute.
