Classic Inventory Plugin

[JMN]

Set the amount in PickupQuantity of CUST_CINV_ITEM_QUANTITY.

CUST_CINV_AMMO is used to set the amount you get with the weapon.

[Titak]

That's what I was overlooking. Duh...

It is working now.
Thank you for the help.

I'm currently loading straight into a fake title level (with the title screen options as the only inventory items) but it would be nice to have it as a proper feature instead of an awkward workaround

Woah how did you do that? Did you use some sort of special script?

[Bigmedpack]

Edit, With the help of Caesum, I got my passport to work. Here is the script.

Inventory Setup:

GlobalTrigger= 3, FGT_SINGLE_SHOT, GT_ALWAYS, IGNORE, IGNORE, 6, IGNORE
TriggerGroup= 6, $012000, 704, $19,> ; Set the number of MEMCARD_LOAD_INV to zero
	$012000, 704, $1A,> ; Set the number of MEMCARD_SAVE_INV to zero
	$012000, 702, $178,> ; Set the number of NEW001 to 1

Passport Script:

Customize= CUST_CINV_ITEM, CINV_ITEM_NEW1, CINV_EXTRANG_STRING+13, IGNORE
Customize= CUST_CINV_ITEM_RING, CINV_ITEM_NEW1, CINV_RING_OPTIONS, 1
Customize= CUST_CINV_ITEM_MODEL, CINV_ITEM_NEW1, CINV_MODEL_IDLE, ANIMATING6, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE
Customize= CUST_CINV_PASSPORT, CINV_ITEM_NEW1, 189

Customize= CUST_CINV_ITEM_DISPLAY, CINV_ITEM_NEW1,>
	CINV_DISPLAY_IDLE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, CINV_FALSE, IGNORE, 180, IGNORE, CINV_FALSE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE,>
	CINV_DISPLAY_ACTIVE, IGNORE, IGNORE, -450, CINV_FALSE, 20, 180, 0, CINV_FALSE, -20, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE

Customize= CUST_CINV_ITEM_ANIMATION, CINV_ITEM_NEW1,>
	CINV_ANIM_ACTIVATE, 0, 0, 14, CINV_TRUE,>
	CINV_ANIM_CANCEL, 0, 24, 29, CINV_TRUE,>
	CINV_ANIM_PASSPORT_PAGE2, 0, 14, 19, CINV_FALSE,>
	CINV_ANIM_PASSPORT_PAGE3, 0, 19, 24, CINV_FALSE

Customize= CUST_CINV_ITEM_ACTION, CINV_ITEM_NEW1,>
	IGNORE, CINV_ACTION_LOAD_GAME, 78, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE,>
	IGNORE, CINV_ACTION_SAVE_GAME, 79, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE,>
	IGNORE, CINV_ACTION_EXIT_TO_TITLE, 180, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE

With some struggle, it's possible to have a title screen just like TR1-TR3 (There are some problems though. but for a prototype i think it is pretty good)

that's awesome! How is it done? What are the issues? I'd love to be able to have something like this in my project in time for release, but only if it's ready and easy to implement.

[ReH_]

One of the main issues it will be in the script. To have the classic title, the original TR4 title must be disabled in options, like: "Title = DISABLED" but this will mess up with the script configuration, a explanation of what happens:

The first level has the title level configuration
The second level has the first level configuration
The third level has the second level and so on...
To be more specific:

Let's say in your first level you have a Cutscene command enabled, as you know, this command disables Lara's movements. When you load the level where the command is nothing will change and Lara will be able to move freely, but when going to the next level you will see that Lara won't be able to move because the level will have the previous level script configuration. The cause of it is unknown and I don't know how to fix it, it still can be used but only if you have patience to re-configure each level correctly.

There are some other minor issues too:
When pressing the inventory key in the title, the inventory will be closed but it will be instantly opened again. This may be fixable if you know how to disable the inventory key while you are in inventory, I've already tried the Flip effect command that disable the inventory usage, sadly it didn't worked for this occasion. This "bug" may not cause any problem though...

If you exit to title from the passport, the game will crash if you have a [Title] instead of a [Level] in your title configuration, but after changing it and exit again you will be stuck in the title level, unless you press pause and exit from there. This is fixable with a CINV_CUSTOM_ACTION though.
(If someone knows any method to fix those issues it would be helpful and appreciated.)

At least the setup for TR1-TR3 title is quite easy.

Hah, ReH_, it is a very wily workaround!
Highly appreciated! (Even if having issues yet.)

Thank you!

So... I kinda fixed some issues, and luckily, the script confusion was one of them. So, every level will load correct with their own configuration. To skip the TR4 title i used a Global Trigger to instantly load the next level, but again, this lead to a new problem: after starting tomb4.exe it will load 2 times . The first for the original title and the second for the TR1-TR3 title.
This will not cause any bug, it's only a visual thing. But you can "hide" the second loading bar with cust_bar command and a cust_background command for load screen, so it's fixable too!

I haven't found any new issues. So I will make a tutorial on how to make it, if you found any new solution or a new method for making this title, please, share with us!

THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
Classic Inventory Plugin (obviously)
Rolling ball
Lara skin has to be the same for the first level or will crash when starting a new game

GETTING STARTED:
First make 2 rooms, one is for the Inventory light and the second one is for the title setup

The setup can be a room 1x2 (it's pretty simple!)
Place Lara in one of the two squares, and the Rolling ball on the opposite one and trigger the rolling ball along with Flip Fffect 706 from the Classic Inventory Plugin, like this:


Under the rolling ball, place the same Flip Effect 706 trigger but as HEAVY trigger

Change the setup room light to 0,0,0 for a better effect!

And there you go, the setup is ready. Just compile the level.

Now go to script in your [Title] Configuration you will need a TriggerGroup and a GlobalTrigger to jump to the next level, because we will not be using the TR4 title and we can't disable in the options or it will happen what i said above

; Set Trigger Type - FLIPEFFECT 82
; Exporting: TRIGGER(1:0) for FLIPEFFECT(82) {Tomb_NextGeneration}
; <#> : Delay. Load <&>level in (E)seconds
; <&> :     1 
; (E) : Forever (use other action/effect to disable it)
; Values to add in script command: $2000, 82, $1
TriggerGroup= 1,$2000, 82, $1 ; jump to the level 1 following the script
GlobalTrigger= 1, FGT_SINGLE_SHOT, GT_ALWAYS, ignore,ignore,1,ignore

The title configuration is done, if your build your script and run your game you will notice that you will start directly into your first level.

Now, we need to configure the classic title. I'm using JMN code in post #69 and the passport posted by Bigmedpack with some alterations, of course. Here's the code:

;------------- TR1-TR3 TITLE BACKGROUND -------------;
Image= 1, 1, IF_PRELOAD, 2, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE
Customize=CUST_BACKGROUND, BKGDT_INVENTORY, IGNORE, IGNORE, 1

Notes: I'm using CINV_RING_MISC1 for the title, this is needed if you want to hide the name of the Inventory, just create a blank ExtraNG strings. (In my case i'm using ExtraNG 6) so if you are using misc1 ring you need to change it

OPTIONAL SCRIPTING

If you want the classic photograph to Lara's Home you can add this to your script:

Notes: If you're gonna change Lara skin for Lara's home level, you may need a ResetHub command.
Also, don't forget to remove weapons, items, etc from Lara's inventory.

If you have any question regarding the title, feel free to ask.

Hope you enjoy!

Ok, attempting to get the classic inventory working. I'm using TIDE. After following the instructions for installing the Plugin from NG Center 1.5.7, I copied

"Plugin= 2, Plugin_ClassicInventory, IGNORE
Plugin= 1, Plugin_TokyoSU, IGNORE"

Into my TIDE script. However, I got an error saying "missing string "Plugin_ClassicInventory" In file ... ENGLISH.TXT." I'm not sure what to do / have a feeling I am doing something wrong with the installation process.
