Released 1.0a. Make sure you redownload the demo if you already downloaded the previous version.

 

[ninjalex]

This looks interesting. Always nice to have an option to change the menu screen looks.

I'll try it out soon.

 

[Misaki]

I wonder if I should just go to this instead of my edited version of your other menu .

 

[Arisete™]

This is really nice indeed.

But most importantly, I can't wait to see how the Equips, Skills, Items are going to look since we don't have many menus that customize those.

But we already have a lot of the basic main menu parts.
I know Moghunters new Menu for Ace customized everything.

 

[Kizami]

Wow! Another nice script, good joob.

One question, can it be used like a 1 CMS script? For an adventure game for example.

As Pikalyze I don't know if use this script, because I'm using other of your menu scripts which is awesome too

Decisions, decisions, hehe.

Thanks!

 

[Nicke]

Thanks for the feedback

@Kizami: Well, it is mainly supposed to be a party menu and not for one character. Maybe I can do a specific menu scene just for that in a near future.

Released 1.0b. Make sure you redownload the demo if you already downloaded the previous version.

 

[Arisete™]

Holy...
I'm actually VERY! impressed with the Item Scene.

Also, could you possibly add an option to use specific SE's for the cursors/confirm/etc?
While using the SE's we set in the Database for the rest of the game?

I'd like to set custom SE's that are different for the Menu only, kind of like how you can have menu music, but menu SE's as well.

 

[kerbonklin]

Holy snap this is so freaking sexy.

 

[Nicke]

Thanks!

@Lankaino: Sure, I guess I can sort that out in the next update or maybe faster.

 

[Soma]

This is pretty darn good looking! *u* I have a question though, could it be possible to change the number of characters visible on the main menu? Like, less than or greater than 4?

 

[Nicke]

@Soma: You mean a setting to set by yourself how many actors you want to have for the character window?

Anyways, if you don't wanna wait for a update look inside the Main Menu script for the class Window_MenuStatus and the following code:

def window_width # // Method to determine window width. return (Graphics.width == 640 ? 4 : 3) * item_width + standard_padding * 2 endThats the method checking which width it should be for the window. Right now it is first checking which resolution you have and setting the size depending on that.

Change the numbers 4 or 3 depending on which resolution you use.

Oh and you also need to change this method as well:

def col_max # // Method to determine col max. return 4 endShould be equal the number you are setting for the first method.

 

[Soma]

@Soma: You mean a setting to set by yourself how many actors you want to have for the character window?

Yeah, like if your party only has a max of 3 members that can be used in battle, or want to show all of your party at once; 6 or 8 for example. BD (In-battle ones could be set on top, and the reserves members below them.)

 

[Nicke]

Okay! Released 1.0c which changes the Item Scene and adding some new features overall including the setting @Soma wanted.

 

[ShinGamix]

This could be epic...let me see. (dl demo now)

Beautiful! Can't wait for the equip window, there are no proper scripts for that. My only wish is that there would be a small window that shows what parameters (and ex-parameters) the equipment adds. Unlike the vanilla equip window that shows the actors current stats in a window and then shows the difference when you hover over an equipment.

What's the difference? Their both showing you that stats that will be increased.

- - - Bug Report - - -

I found a problem with the Equipment Screen "description" of equips.

I don't know if this is because your Equipment screen is unfinished, or not.

Spoiler

 

[Nicke]

@Lankaiono: I've fixed that, just noticed that when doing the Equip Scene actually. I probably release a update as soon as possible.

It's fine, I don't really plan on using this Menu Engine until it's complete, but I do have it in a separate project to edit and have everything ready for when it's done.

I find it too clunky. Just a cosmetic difference really.
