Introduction

This is the PAC Main Menu converted to VX Ace. On a basic level, this offers a configurable setup for your main menu, allowing the user to create, alter and move the position of menu commands at their pleasure. It can be used very simply to merely reorder the default commands, or to its' fullest potential, that is creating commands to put custom scenes into the menu. It also offers two graphical features: adding an EXP gauge into the menu status window, and adding icons into the command display. Both are optional and customizable.

Features

• Easily customize and move about the commands in the menu. You can even create your own!
  
• You can rename commands, change what they do (why would you want to though), and change the conditions required to use it.
  
• Icons for commands are now implemented in the menu. Optional, naturally.
  
• An EXP gauge is included in the actors' window. It may look out of place, but I wasn't sure where else to put it. It is, of course, optional.
  
• A map name window and a playtime window are included in the script. They are completely optional. As is the gold window now.
  
• The menu now remembers which command you were last on at all times, even after saving.
  
• The menu now immediately goes to actor selection if the command you just came from required actor selection.
  
• You can assign a button to heal the party when it is pressed in the menu during test play.
  
• You can choose to have the side windows on the left or right.

How to Use

Paste above Main, below Materials. For best compatibility put it at the top of your custom scripts list. There are detailed configuration instructions in the script header. If you have any inquiries, please ask me.

Demo

I don't think it's very necessary. There are no in-game options, and the script itself is a demo.

Script

Get it at Pastebin.

Author's Notes

My favourite note this week is the D above middle C (293.665 Hz), and my favourite synthetic tone is a sine wave.

Also, I guess, considering compatibility, if you expect this to work with another menu system, do not expect that. And my terms of use: You may use this script in any non-commercial project with credit. Contact me if you wish to use this in a commercial project. You may edit this script and use it in your own project, or even release it as your own script, as long as I am credited (being notified would also be nice).
