[Solved][VXAce] Menu Appearance and Extra Info Window

Hey there, so basically I have two requests. One is a pretty simple one, I think. The other, possibly not.
 
The first is something I'm sure is easy enough to do, I just can't seem to figure it out.
I'm using Fomar's Menu script that changes the layout depending on the amount of characters in the party. I've got only one character so I'm using a portrait to show my characters' face instead of an actual faceset. The issue I'm having is finding a way to add some space between the level/name and class/gauges. As it stands they're currently like so:
 

 
As you can see, there's not much room between the two. If possible I'd like a code to make them separate a bit to make the class/gauges line up with the information on the left. I've tried to find the line in the actual script that might do this but to no avail.
 
Here's the script (after my edits)

The second script is a little harder.
 
Since this game doesn't use money in any way, shape or form, I find the money box unnecessary and decided it would be a neat idea to instead replace it with another box.
 
I have Type levels for my weapons (there's 9 Types all up). What I'd like to do is have a box with a series of icons down one side with an LV next to them, and on the other side a number for each that would be generated by a variable. And a small heading that could be edited.
 
I'd imagine each icon would correspond with an icon number in the icon list, for easy changing. I've a mockup to show clearer what I mean.
 

It's a little rough, but it should give the right idea. (also, the top right as an example of the first part.)
 
Any help would be really appreciated!
 

The lack of indenting is giving me a little trouble. First things first though, your draw_exp_info method is outside of the Window_MenuStatus class.

For the spacing issue, you can add a new method to the Window_MenuStatus class that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw Simple Status
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_actor_simple_status(actor, x, y)
    draw_actor_name(actor, x, y)
    draw_actor_level(actor, x, y + line_height * 1)
    draw_actor_icons(actor, x, y + line_height * 2)
    draw_actor_class(actor, x + 120, y)
    draw_actor_hp(actor, x + 120, y + line_height * 1)
    draw_actor_mp(actor, x + 120, y + line_height * 2)
  end


The last three lines are set at x + 120. Just adjust the 120 until you get the spacing you want.

For the second problem, I am not positive that it will work with whatever script you have reducing the number of commands, but you can try using my Customizable Main Menu. It has the ability to remove the gold window and to add a window with variables like the one you describe. It will probably need to be below your other custom scripts in the Script Editor.

If it doesn't work with the script you have which reduces the commands, then it can substitute for it in any event.

Thank you very much, MA!
That snippet worked perfectly and I'm gonna mess around with your menu script and see what I can achieve. ^.^
(I didn't really use a script as such for the removal of the commands, so much as adding a # in front of the command that made them show up in the menu. That way if I want them back I just have to remove the symbol and it shouldn't mess with the original scripts in ways to break them. ^.^ )

I'll reply in your script topic if I have any questions~
Thanks again, though. I really appreciate it. ^.^
