Book of Shadows: CMS
May 26th 2012
Request: taken by HungrySnake @ RPGmakerVX.net
Summary
For my game, Duskwind (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,46068.msg524057.html#msg524057), I need a custom menu. Though, not just ANY other custom menu.
Since this game is about a person who starts on her quest to take revenge and finding out (s)he is different from others as (s)he can use the powers of the shadow. In the beginning of the game you need to take the backpack and the Book of shadows from your home before you can go out.
So if you haven't taken either the book or the backpack yet, you can't open the menu (can do this with an event!)
I also want to use a different windowskin in the book than the one I use in the game.
You are allowed to use scripts from other people to combine with the book.
Just let me know which ones and in what sequence to insert all of the scripts used.
If you have any other questions about what I want, don't be afraid to ask!!
Features Desired
- Three pictures as a menu: A backpack, a book and a text-image saying "End Game"
- For Inventory: categories + on using an item or equipment: "Equip/Use" - "Drop" - "Nothing"
