Compact Menu System

Compact Menu System
Version: 1.0
Author: Rubymattt

Description

This script is a very compact CMS, similar to the one I used in castorvian legends - but for VX!  The script was basically to get me into RGSS2 more than anything so I can start makin' some VX scripts.

Instructions / Notes

You have to have at least one person in the party at any time, or the scriipt will fail.  To be honest, I wouldn't see the point in a menu if there was nobody in the party, so make sure menu is DISABLED at all times if you ever, for some reason, end up in this situation.

That's all there is.  Place above main, below Materials.  No need for a demo, it really is that simple to install.

Author's Notes / Credit

Not much else to say really.  Give credit, and enjoy.

[DeathLock~]

Nice work, simple and clean.

[Leventhan]

Classic and simple. Clean-looking too.
Good job, rubymatt.

[modern algebra]

Yeah, it is a tidy little menu. Good job.

[&&&&&&&&&&&&&]

It's tiny and cute and it fits in with the chibi little sprites.

[Jeffreyh91]

This is pretty Awesome. Is there a way I could put the menu in the upper-left corner and not have the actual game in the back all faded? 

[narcodis]

this thing rules. good work. i shall be using.

[Rubymatt]

@Jeffrey: To get the position you want, just mess around with the x and y values in all the windows.  I can't really give you exact numbers, since I don't know what position in the top left you want it (Pressed up against the side, or with a gap...)

Thanks for teh comments.  Makes it all worthwile =D

[Charbel]

Good work! I'll use it! 

[codemeister1990]

the screenshot didn't load...?

[Raiden]

Love it, thanks man.

[IpickZero]

can someone upload a screen shot of this, since the pic. wont load... plz 

[pacdiggity]

Nobody else probably would, because it's over two years old, but lucky for you I'm in a non-strangly mood.

Pretty much.
Don't really see why you needed a screenie if it's a plug-and-play script that is in code tags...
