Known Compatibility Issues

Terms of Use

All my scripts are bound under my terms of use. If any terms on RMRK does not contradict my terms, please add those.

Bug Issues

I can't move between my allies using this script when trying to use heal or a buff on the party.

Wanted to bump and say I still haven't fixed that issue.

This is a compatibility issue. That might be why he's not replying. If you watch his video, he's selecting allies just fine. I tried it with minimal scripts and it works for me.

The script does not have any bug, as it does not contain anything that deals with altering battle skills nor any of that kind. As you can see, I just removed all the opacity of each window and added those images to suit a yet better display of commands. :)
