Known Compatibility Issues

None known so far, but overwrites Scene_Menu and Window_MenuStatus. So won't work with anything that uses that.

Demo

Pointless

Author's Notes

I decided to write this script because long before I knew anything about scripting I always wanted a menu like this but never requested it.

Restrictions

Free for non-commercial and commercial games. You must credit me! If you use this in a commercial game I expect a free copy.

That's a pretty design DoctorTodd.

Thanks 

I remember someone requested this kind of script recently.
Looks like we can tell them where to find it now.

Keep it up DT

Nice design, DT!
Again, there are some things that don't need to be there, and some things that could've been aliased, but a good job nonetheless.
Would you mind if I included this design in PAC MM? You would, of course, be credited.

I think it was me!

This is exactly what I needed, my warmest thanks and compliments DoctorTodd!!

EDIT

I think i found a little error in the script:

Code: [Select]

  when 1      # Skill
         @actor = $game_party.members[1]
         $scene = Scene_Skill.new
      when 2      # Equip
         @actor = $game_party.members[1]
         $scene = Scene_Skill.new

placing Scene_Equip.new instead of  the second Scene_Skill.new seems to fix it

@Pacman: sure that's fine 

@Xabaras: Oops sorry about that once I'm back on my computer I'll upload the fixed version.

1.1! You now have the option to choose what window skin you wish to use.

Marc: Salaam.

Something that I wanted to note regarding both this script and your battle status script... it would be positively wonderful if the scripts could check for the size of the party, and display the "single member" versions upon returning a single party member while retaining the original style for parties of a larger size. Hopefully this is functionality you could consider adding in the future.

I would also like to add that these scripts are very aesthetically pleasing, and are quite nice for those of us making games with a single character. Keep it up, they can be very useful.

(Oh, and on a separate note: you do not need to include the module DTOPM if you are referencing its contents with the DTOPM::Window syntax. Just for future reference. )

I'll make sure to keep that in mind about the syntax thing. Also that's a good a idea, I might try that at one point. Thanks for your feedback.

Marc: Of course.

I was also assuming that you would like ideas about how to improve upon your scripts and better acquaint yourself with scripting in general, thus my suggestion. I believe figuring out how to do that adequately would provide an interesting and (hopefully) helpful task.

Good luck.

As soon as I finish my game (March 14^th) I'll try that.

This and the other one-actor scripts just gave me a game idea...

 
 Awesome
