Alright, so I'm working on a really customizable HUD framework. It uses a language sort of like HTML, only not as great. Right now I'm working on adding new features and elements and stuff like that, but if anyone would like to try it out, here's the script. This is basically a tool for non-scripters to create awesome-looking huds that look exactly how
they want them to look.
RMVXA Script I originally started making this in RMXP, but ported it over to RMVXA when it appeared that I had found a bug in RMXP's ruby interpreter. However, I just tried back-porting it to RMXP, and it worked. So now, I will resume development in RMXP. Here is the current RMXP version of the script:
