Is there a tutorial for making, using or installing downloaded scripts? If so, please post the link or post how to do it.
Thanks! rolleyes.gif

All you need to do is search. There's plenty of tutorials here, on rpgmakervx.net, as well as search in google. In general, RMXP and VX have a script tab, click on it, and find a place to insert the scripts. Some are plug-and-play, meaning little to no extra work is needed, but most require an understand of how the script works to get it to do what you want.

Understanding Ruby will definitely help as well. You can also try these tutorials for XP to see if they have any info:

Tigerseye is probably the most informative.

Installing them isn't all that hard, I usually include that kind of information in the script itself
CODE
# How to Install:
#  • Copy this entire Script.
#  • In your game, select Tools >> Script Editor.
#  • Along the left, scroll all the way to the bottom
#  • Right click on 'Main', and select 'Insert'
#  • Paste the code in the blank window on the right

5 Steps isn't too bad, but sometimes you need to do a bit extra, so for some menu systems you'll need to get the icons, and some script aren't compatible (for example, two scripts that heavily remake the battle system probably won't work together).
Just something you need to look out for smile.gif

As for using them, after you have them installed, there's usually a wall of green text at the start of the code.
Green means comments, they're sections that the programmer has left to let you know what's happening, and they'll usually start the script with the customisation section, where you can tweak the scripts smile.gif

As for learning, that's what amerk talked about.
