I'm liking the many custom menu screens you've been making.

If you ever want me to test for bugs let me know, I'm sure I'll try and report on the ones I'm interested in anyway.

[The Law G14]

Thanks for comments Zef, I was begining to feel that everyone thought this script was useless lol

If you have any questions, please post

If you ever want me to test for bugs let me know, I'm sure I'll try and report on the ones I'm interested in anyway

That'd be cool, thanks man

[Chibichan]

Another one bites the dust! Wow Law, you are really getting good! Here's an idea: Why not try making a script that lets the player choose a certain number of skills to use? Like choosing 5 out of 20 skills a chracter has for battle. I'm sure you're capable of it , but i'm just giving you ideas...

[The Law G14]

Thanks for the comments Chibichan

So your saying like before battle the player would choose 5 skills or something out of their list of skills to use in battle?

[Chibichan]

Yep yep yep! You're probably thinking before the battle starts, which might be cool, but i meant from the menu. This might be easy for you because you have a lot of menu scripts...There's something like it for VX, but it can probably be done in XP. I've got plenty of ideas for scripts, but i dont really know how to script (that might change soon), but ive got plenty of ideas if you run dry.

[The Law G14]

Hey, would you mind giving a link to the vx script? Just curious to see how the maker of the vx script pulled this off

[Chibichan]

I believe this is it. Tell me if it's not, but I'm pretty sure it is.

[The Law G14]

Hm, sounds like a good idea, thanks Chibichan Though I don't think I'll be able to do it as good as Yanfly lol.

[Chibichan]

I know, I just realized that.... It looked really complicated, too...

[The Law G14]

I think I'll be able to pull it off, I'll see if I can start working on it soon

[Chibichan]

Great! Glad I could help!

[The Law G14]

Updated the script. The skill screen now displays your class and and I made the windows fit perfectly in the screen, now. Before there was a gap underneath the windows.

Enjoy

This is so close to what i was looking for. Don't get me wrong, this is amazing. I was wondering is it possible to modify this script so that instead of using gold, you use a separate type of "points" to spend that you could get from winning battles. like in Final fantasy tactics where you get experience after a battle and also you get "job points" to spend on learning a skill.

I know this might be pushing it too far but is it also possible to make it so that each character earns "job points" individually based on their performance in battle (lets say an attack will give you 2 JP, a miss will give you none, a skill attack that hits gives you 3. using an item gives you 1) etc. and Job points earned during battles by each character can only be spent on learning skills for that specific character.

I was just wondering about those possibilities, i hope you don't take it as me not being happy with this script. I think this script is awesome. Hope to hear from you soon Law.

[The Law G14]

Well the script idea you've proposed sounds very interesting though the only problem is that I can't just modify the script to fit this script idea since they're kinda alot different since normally, you get skills by leveling up, but with this, you spend Job Points. You would probably need a new script to fit this request of yours which I'd do if I wasn't so busy. Maybe in a couple of weeks I could try to sort out this script idea

[Bigace]

Nice custom script law, however it runs problems witn Enu Sideview Battle System - Individual Battle Commands Script. Oh-well

[The Law G14]

Would you mind posting up Enu's script? I could try to make my script and Enu's script compatible if you'd like

[Bigace]

Here's the whole battle system: Enu Tanketai SBS Script

Alright, got it to work. Replace my custom skill screen with this:
