Sounds nice! Hope it would be possible to use simple call script commands when eventing!

Looking good Tsuno. Good luck.

Could you please make a description, for the people who do not know what this is?
Personally I don't understand the crap out of it.

This script (when completed) will allow you to create a number of different command window types with high-levels of customizability, all while keeping it simple.

I did this for XP (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,25167.0.html) but you were limited to two command window types, this version for VX will allow for 6 command window types.

The customizability, will include everything from the XP version as well as anything you guys suggest (that is possible :P  ).

Could you post some screens of what it'd look like? I can't wait to see the ring!
