[Show/Hide] How do I change the starting party?

Go to Data Base, system tab, and you should find the initial party box.

[Show/Hide] How do I change my starting gold?

Well you can do it with events, but with scripts you can do it with no knowledge required. Goto Game_Party in the scripts pages. Find line 26

CODE

  
@gold = 0

Now change 0 to anything you want and then you have your starting gold.

[Show/Hide] How do I get full health when I level up?

In the scripts find the page Game_Actor (not actors).
Starting at line 536

CODE

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Level Up
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def level_up
    @level += 1
    for learning in self.class.learnings
      learn_skill(learning.skill_id) if learning.level == @level
    end
  end

Now add two lines between @level += 1 and for learning in self.class.learnings

CODE

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Level Up
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def level_up
    @level += 1
    self.hp += maxhp           #Add this, It gives you full HP on level up.
    self.mp += maxmp         #Add this, It gives you full MP on level up.
    for learning in self.class.learnings
      learn_skill(learning.skill_id) if learning.level == @level
    end
  end

[Show/Hide] How do I change my game's Name?

Tools, database, system and there it says "Game Title"

[Show/Hide] How do I disable Saving in the field/towns?

Use an Event:

[Show/Hide] It seems that more and more games have voice acting so I would love to know how they do it, hopefully someone on here can help me? ~DonyaClaudia

You need a voice recording program. There are free ones you can download, just google for one. Use it to save the sound as a sound file, and then upload it into the game as a SE (I think)~Xeyla

[Show/Hide] How do I change the name of a skill for a class?

Check the box circled in red, and type in the name for that skill type.
