Inevitable request for 5 party members incoming!

[Dacuna]

I'm sure many people would like a plugin that allows more than 4 actors to appear on the menu screen and the sideview battle system, but I'm surprised one hasn't been made yet like Yanfly's Ace Core Engine in RPG Maker VX Ace.


It may be harder this time around because of the sideview battle system and allowing one more sprite to be on the battlefield along with the other four, but yeah.


As far as I know, no one has created a plugin that does this and I'm not completely sure if it's being worked on.


Edit: To clarify, I'd like a plugin that allows more than 4 actors (5 to be exact) to be active with none in the reserves.

This has a cure my friend


"In rpg_objects.js look for


Game_Party.prototype.maxBattleMembers = function() {


    return 4;


};


And just change the 4 to however many party members you want.  Other than being in js instead of ruby, it's pretty much identical to how the number of battle members is controlled in VX Ace (I think there it's in the Game_Party script, but


I'm not 100% on that)."

Yeeesss, it works!


I guess I didn't search hard enough...


On another note, is there a way to display all 5 actors at once on the menu screen, instead of having to scroll down to the fifth member?


If not, that's fine, the player will just have to deal with it.

Take a read through the link I sent you, All possible workarounds are in that thread

 

[Dacuna]

Eh, I did, but they're all for the sideview battle screen, I actually meant for the Esc menu:

 

[Skunk]

Ah that will take some special tweaking, you might be better off letting the player scroll down

 

[Dacuna]

Meh... all righty then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Thanks for the help anyways!

You can edit the number by finding this in rpg_windows.js


This code should be under the "Menu Status" section.


Window_MenuStatus.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() {
return 4;
};


The number 4, change it into 5. Make a backup of your file just in case something bad goes wrong.


Edit: If you want to change the max battle actors without changing any kind of code, you can use Yanfly's Party System plugin.

 

[Dacuna]

Woo, thanks!


It does exactly what I want it to.


If the option to do this can be changed within the main JavaScript files, I wonder why they didn't add it into the database...
