Okay, thing is, I'm trying to change the main menu to show Data and Change Party instead of Save and Game End. Data opens the Scene_End menu where I have changed the options to Save, Load and To Title. Change Party opens the Scene_Party window, this belongs to a script I'm using, Party Selector from Prexus.
I already got far with it, the only problem I ended up with was that Save and Load both had the name Data under the Data menu, I know why this is, it's because they're both using the same vocal or whatever. I don't know how to make a new vocal and such.
But now I think I've ruined everything, since whenever I open the Data menu now, a message telling me a variable in line 14, create command window is not recognized, I have no idea how that happened. If I copy the default Scene_Menu script into my new one, everything runs fine. I think it's best to understand if I show you the scripts I'm using. I'm using KGC Categorize Items and ForceStop Victory Theme scripts, which shouldn't be a problem but under materials, I have Change Main Menu (my new script where I just copied the original Scene_Menu script and changed the options (see below) and I'm also using a script to show Progress, Steps and Gameplay time (which I've edited) from Companion Wulf, which supposedly overwrites Scene_Menu. Lastly I have the Party Change script.
I hope somebody understands by checking the scripts.
This is how my menu should look like:
Items
Skills
Equip
Status
Data
Change Party
So a rundown on the problems:
1. When I open Data in the Main menu it says that a variable create command window is lost or something. It's in line 14. This doesn't happen if I copy the default Scene_Menu script into my Change Menu script, I just don't understand what causes this.
2. When Save is disabled, the Data command in the main menu get's disabled. But I want to have that available and rather disable the Save option under the Scene_End menu. I know this is due to this:
if $game_system.save_disabled # If save is forbidden
@command_window.draw_item(4, false) # Disable save
end
I tried cutting this into the Scene_End script but to no avail. I think this is actually where problem 1 came up
3. This is as far as I got. I managed to get the Data option to open the Scene_End window. I want it to show three options...Save, Load and To Title. I got everything to work but both Save and Load are called Data. Again, I know what is causing this, just don't know how to change this. So now, the options in the window are : Data, Data, To Title.
Lastly here are the scripts I guess are relevant:
(I'm supposed to put this in a codebox right? Gee, I hope so)

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Go ahead and ask me to explain better. This is my first topic and I'm a beginner, but doing pretty darn good for such. I hope I'm posting this correctly.
is it just me or are the code windows way too small?
Oh yeah and there's more.
4: When I exit the Load screen without loading a file, my game jumps to the Title screen. Again I know why, but the problem....how can I make it go to the title when loading from the title screen and jump back to Data when I cancel from there???
