cool, I like the titles system. It's like Tales of Symphonia.

These are very neat scripts. Thank you so much for sharing!

Anyway some new updates to the Columns menu, I've added some new options for the location window, so you can now decide what's in it, where it goes or if it shows up at all.  Also given more options for what appears for the actors (character graphics, busts, TP gauge, etc). 

Not an update, but I've explained a feature that I forgot to in BM-messages.  With a switch, you can show a bust image based on the face assigned.

UPDATES

Hey all,  I've been working with ShinGamix recently, finding and fixing issues.  BM-Base and BM-Icons have both been updated to deal with some issues with Yami's Guardian script.  I've also fixed an issue with the drawing of the currency icon and have added actor icons which can be assigned in the Actor's Notebox in the Database.  The actor icons aren't being used for anything but the scripting is there for future usage as well as a shrunken faces (size of icons) that can be used like an icon.

UPDATES
http://bmscripts.weebly.com/bm-base.html
http://bmscripts.weebly.com/icons.html

New updates to to give some new options for BM-Columns Menu and BM-Shop scripts.  For these, you need the updated BM-Base.   It's now up to the user whether they want to use character graphics or scaled down face graphics for the shop status and the item/skill selection windows.

I've finished the VK Equip.  Right now, this needs YEA ace equip engine.  Newer updates may change that.  I tried to be true to the appearance of Valkerie Story's equip screen while still being compatible with the default menu.

UPDATE

I made a Basic Status script to show the polygon graph for parameters.  For those that want to use the default Status scene.

UPDATE

Spoiler for:

When I click on the link for the Base script it goes to a 404 page

Update for both Basic Equip and Advanced VK Equip.  Both can now reorder/replace parameters, xparameters and sparameters in the EquipStatus Window. Advanced VK Equip can now assign the location of body equipment icons in Actor and Class Noteboxes.  This way if you have a specific body image per actor, you can reassign the icon location to match the image.  In BM Basic Shop, error in status window was fixed.

Spoiler for:

It's been a little while, but I've got a new update for BM-Ring Commands.  This fixes a bug I found in the actor commands in the battle and makes the coding more efficient.

UPDATE
BM-Ring Commands

Hey All

Fixed an issue in BM-Messages if it is placed below BM-Actor Titles.  Added a substitute word for icon switch in BM-Icons for custom words.  Adjusted window positions in BM-Columns Menu.


UPDATES
BM-Messages
BM-Columns Menu
BM-Icons

Update to BM Advanced Equip so that equipment icons can be adjusted to a new size (bigger or smaller)

UPDATE
BM Advanced Equip

That looks very cool blackmorning. Great job!

Update to YEA BM Status so that now a new scene will pop up if you click states or elements.  The new scene has more room so more items will appear.  Also clicking on biography alternates between yanfly's original biography and my biography information

UPDATE
YEA BM Status

Keep up the great work BlackMorning.

Update to YEA BM Status.  I know, another one.  I'm currently in development for this script, but I figure I'd release each stable version. Now you can show resistances and inflictions separately and toggle/switch between infliction/resistance data with toggle button or show a scene with both.  Also can toggle biography between yanfly's original biography and my biography information with the same toggle button.  This might better solve some issues with longer lists of states or elements. 
 
While I'm in this updating phase, feel free to give suggestions.

Big update for BM Advanced Status.  More customization features, can choose different ways to show element/state resistances/inflictions, can toggle between any windows you want to set up.
BM Columns Menu has update to fix conflict with YEA class system.

UPDATE
BM Advanced Status
BM Columns Menu

Also listed some resources, including an iconset.

Update to BM-Base to fix issue with more than default amount of battle members

UPDATE
BM-Base

Update to BM YEA Status, so that now you can add up to 10 custom bio info items to the BM bio page and have corresponding message codes.
 
Can add anything from favorite food to species type.  Whatever you want.  Can also add spacers in BM bio to change the layout a bit.

UPDATE
BM YEA Status

Update to BM-Base to fix compatibility issue with Bubs Guts Script.  BM-Advanced Equip updated cursor size for equipment icon.  Patch for Selchar's Harvest Moon Time script with BM-Columns Menu has been updated to no longer require the Clock hud script.

UPDATE

• BM-Base
  
• BM-Advanced Equip
  
• Selchar's Harvest Moon Time BM Column Menu Patch
  

Good work. Thanks for sharing, blackmorning.

Just noticed that there is a function on YEA Menu Engine that changes the location of the help window.  I've updated BM-Advanced Status, BM-Advanced Equip and BM-Columns Menu to make it compatible with this feature. 

Due to the nature of BM-Advanced Equip, it will not move the help window to the middle position as it needs its current window height to view all the information.
Added actor specific bio info lists for BM-Advanced Status.

Updates to BM-Advanced Status, BM-Advanced Equip and BM Titles to fix some issues that have been discovered. 

UPDATES
 BM-Advanced Status
 BM-Advanced Equip
 BM Titles

New update for BM-Advanced Status, so that general page includes gauges for exp and parameters and so that order of graph/chart for elements/states/params can be different than list (example: can have standard list, but have fire-ice across from each other).

UPDATES
BM-Advanced Status

Number of columns and half spacings are added to the properties page of BM-Advanced Status as well as darkened box around the biography list.  In BM-advanced Equip, you can now have equip body images based on an actor's faceset-index and the optimization/remove all buttons have been fixed.  In the base script, the mini faces used for shop and equip has been fixed.  Now BM-Icons allows you to shutoff automatic addition of the state icon to the state.

Thanks to YummyTiger for noticing the error with the BM-Advanced Equip and for bloodyliao for giving the idea to be allowed to use larger graphics for equipment instead of zooming the small item icons.


UPDATES

Those are pretty snazzy and very graphically appealing~! ;o;

Hey all, Lars Ulrika spotted a glitch in the Columns Menu script when you go from multiple actors to one and selecting skills, equip, status and such.   This has been fixed now

Hey all, update to the Basic Shop to fix a slow down for the shop status screen.  This doesn't affect the fps for the animated characters, only the stagnant characters or faces.

Hey Blackmorning,

First off all I want to thank you for adding my suggestion to an update for your Icons script.

I have really been enjoying your scripts and have been using some of them in a project that i'm currently developing called Phantasy Quest. if you want you can check it out on my website Dragon Lens Studios. I think you make quite exlllent scripts and you have a great passion I hope you keep up with your scripting! Great Job!

The Columns Menu has been updated to fix the issue with using common event items and not getting the map music back as well as adding a volume adjustment to the menu music.

UPDATES

It's been a while, but I have a few updates.  As always, thank you for any suggestions, I appreciate them.  (Thanks to Allied G and Anthony for these updates).  BM-Base has been updated to allow the customization of the param ratio that creates the parameter gauges and the stats graph for the BM-Status which has also been updated.  BM-Titles has added the ability to change the base stat change from percent to a set number.

I'm using a bunch of your scripts, they're pretty great.

It's spring and rainy, so I'm fixing up a script.  Actor Titles gets a change in coding to help with conditional branches.  You can assign an actor's title id number to a variable.  It was the name of the title.  The number works better because then you can compare numbers.

I don't comment enough, but I just wanted to say that your menu scripts are very appealing. Advanced Valkyrie Stories Equip is gorgeous, and Basic Status looks great too! I was never any good at designing scenes.
