[VX]Ixfuru's ToolBox, shows a small window on map with often used items and item count Options

[DUFUTA]

IXFURU'S TOOLBOX 1.0

INTRODUCTION

This little script calls a window where you can display often-used items.

FEATURES

The script has several customization options which include height, width, x and y location, colors and more!

SCREENSHOTS

[Show/Hide] quickshot

HOW TO USE

Just copy the script from below and paste it in the script editor below materials and above main. The script uses a single switch and a toggle key which is used to activate/deactivate the switch. You can set these things up in the configuration section, along with other more cosmetic features.

DEMO
This is a small and basically self-explanatory script. I may upload a demo soon if the need requires, but just try it out first by taking the script.

INCOMPATIBLE SCRIPTS

I don't think there should be any problems. As this script aliases existing methods in Game Map and changes little else.
I'll be working to make it compatible with individual inventories, as I know that will be a request soon enough.

CREDIT
Credit me if you use the script and a link to the project would be nice, you can PM it or just post it here. Thanks.

AUTHORS NOTE

If you have any problems with the script or find a bug, let me know by posting in this topic, PMing me here on the site or drop a topic in the FINISH LINE forum at RPGMakerVX.net.

Not to dog on you at all (we always love new scripters here on RRR) but what is this script good for? Most people know what items they've been using by memory. If you added a feature that let you use that item directly from your menu it may be a bit better.

Phillip. Thanks for checking it out. I guess the script could be good for numerous things. You could set it to track ANY database item. Use it for a quick glance at keys, at shovels, at rare, collectible treasures. Basically, it's just a save time from going to the menu to see how many of something you have. Maybe I'll add your little 'selectable' item. Quite honestly, it was just a little snippet I put together for my own project and decided to share it. It seems it doesn't meet your standards for what a good script is, and for that I can only say sorry you don't like it. It's okay, though. I don't like all scripts either. Maybe others will like it, who knows?

Not to dog on you

Interesting way to start a post.

Like I said I meant no offense whatsoever I was just saying you could add more features and it'd be a little more useful. Anyways, it's ok thanks for sharing it with us.
