Munkis' Quick Bio

Version: 1.0
Author: munkis
Release Date: 02/08/2012


Exclusive Script at RPG RPG Revolution


Introduction
Just adds a small little blurb of info about the character to the status screen. Would probably be most useful in a story-driven game than an action hackfest.

Features
You can move the window and change the color, make paragraphs for the characters. Not really that much too it.

#  * Uses one alias and one custom class, so any scripts that modify the status

  end
end

Customization
Other than what I mentioned in "features", you may have to move other parts of the status screen around to make room. Most people can simply look at lines 22-28 of Window_Status to see what can be moved.

Compatibility
No known issues. Requires modern_algebra's paragraph formatter.

Screenshot
Not sure if that's really necessary...

DEMO
...or that either.

Installation
Place in MATERIALS, above MAIN.

FAQ
Q: ZOMG teh scriptz doesn't werk!!!
A: First of all, be more specific. Second, all reports typed in chat-speak or 1337-speak will be ignored.

Terms and Conditions
I don't mind this script being posted or linked on other sites AS LONG AS YOU GIVE CREDIT!!! Same goes for using this in your project. Contact me if you want to use this in a commercial project.

Credits
Credit goes to me for the script.

Can you help me, I always get this error when entering status screen:
_{Script 'Quick Bio' line 55: NoMethodError occured. undefined method `draw_paragraph' for # <Bitmap:0x1a6cac8>}

You need modern_algebra's paragraph formatter; my fault for not saying that in the OP.

Oh, great. Works like a charm now.
