Max Members Fix

Max Members Fix
Version: 1.0
Author: modern algebra
Date: December 19, 2010

Version History

• <Version 1.0> 12.19.2010 - Original Release

Description

There has always been the option to alter the MAX_MEMBERS in Game_Party and add more than four members to the party. However, there was no graphical support in either the default menu or battle scenes to show more than four members. This little script fixes that.

Features

• Allows you to see extra members in the Menu and Battle scenes, as well as in the target window of the Item and Skill scenes
• Can turn off the modifications to the battle scene if you are already using a script that graphcially represents extra members of the party

Screenshots

Instructions

Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor (F11) above Main but below the default scripts.

Then, go to the default Game_Party script and change the MAX_MEMBERS constant at line 12 to the new maximum you want (I could've put an option to control that in this script, but I figured that would make things more confusing).

This script was designed for the default menu and battle scenes. It will not work with most custom menu or battle scenes unless they are very functionally and graphically similar to the default. If you only want it to change the menu status and are already using a battle system that remedies this, then just go to line 28 and change true to false.

Known Compatibility Issues

This script was designed for the default menu and battle scenes. It will not work with most custom menu or battle scenes. Most custom menu or battle scenes will have done this already, so I took no effort to do so.
