cool, I like the titles system. It's like Tales of Symphonia.

These are very neat scripts. Thank you so much for sharing!

[blackmorning]

Anyway some new updates to the Columns menu, I've added some new options for the location window, so you can now decide what's in it, where it goes or if it shows up at all.  Also given more options for what appears for the actors (character graphics, busts, TP gauge, etc). 

Not an update, but I've explained a feature that I forgot to in BM-messages.  With a switch, you can show a bust image based on the face assigned.

Hey all,  I've been working with ShinGamix recently, finding and fixing issues.  BM-Base and BM-Icons have both been updated to deal with some issues with Yami's Guardian script.  I've also fixed an issue with the drawing of the currency icon and have added actor icons which can be assigned in the Actor's Notebox in the Database.  The actor icons aren't being used for anything but the scripting is there for future usage as well as a shrunken faces (size of icons) that can be used like an icon.

New updates to to give some new options for BM-Columns Menu and BM-Shop scripts.  For these, you need the updated BM-Base.   It's now up to the user whether they want to use character graphics or scaled down face graphics for the shop status and the item/skill selection windows.

I've finished the VK Equip.  Right now, this needs YEA ace equip engine.  Newer updates may change that.  I tried to be true to the appearance of Valkerie Story's equip screen while still being compatible with the default menu.

When I click on the link for the Base script it goes to a 404 page

Update for both Basic Equip and Advanced VK Equip.  Both can now reorder/replace parameters, xparameters and sparameters in the EquipStatus Window. Advanced VK Equip can now assign the location of body equipment icons in Actor and Class Noteboxes.  This way if you have a specific body image per actor, you can reassign the icon location to match the image.  In BM Basic Shop, error in status window was fixed.

It's been a little while, but I've got a new update for BM-Ring Commands.  This fixes a bug I found in the actor commands in the battle and makes the coding more efficient.

That looks very cool blackmorning. Great job!

[blackmorning]

Update to YEA BM Status so that now a new scene will pop up if you click states or elements.  The new scene has more room so more items will appear.  Also clicking on biography alternates between yanfly's original biography and my biography information

UPDATE
YEA BM Status

[ShinGamix]

Keep up the great work BlackMorning.

[blackmorning]

Update to YEA BM Status.  I know, another one.  I'm currently in development for this script, but I figure I'd release each stable version. Now you can show resistances and inflictions separately and toggle/switch between infliction/resistance data with toggle button or show a scene with both.  Also can toggle biography between yanfly's original biography and my biography information with the same toggle button.  This might better solve some issues with longer lists of states or elements. 

While I'm in this updating phase, feel free to give suggestions.

[blackmorning]

Big update for BM Advanced Status.  More customization features, can choose different ways to show element/state resistances/inflictions, can toggle between any windows you want to set up.
BM Columns Menu has update to fix conflict with YEA class system.

UPDATE
BM Advanced Status
BM Columns Menu

Also listed some resources, including an iconset.

Update to BM-Base to fix issue with more than default amount of battle members

UPDATE
BM-Base

[blackmorning]

Update to BM YEA Status, so that now you can add up to 10 custom bio info items to the BM bio page and have corresponding message codes.

Can add anything from favorite food to species type.  Whatever you want.  Can also add spacers in BM bio to change the layout a bit.

UPDATE
BM YEA Status

[blackmorning]

Update to BM-Base to fix compatibility issue with Bubs Guts Script.  BM-Advanced Equip updated cursor size for equipment icon.  Patch for Selchar's Harvest Moon Time script with BM-Columns Menu has been updated to no longer require the Clock hud script.

• BM-Base
  
• BM-Advanced Equip
  
• Selchar's Harvest Moon Time BM Column Menu Patch

Good work. Thanks for sharing, blackmorning.

[blackmorning]

Just noticed that there is a function on YEA Menu Engine that changes the location of the help window.  I've updated BM-Advanced Status, BM-Advanced Equip and BM-Columns Menu to make it compatible with this feature. 

Due to the nature of BM-Advanced Equip, it will not move the help window to the middle position as it needs its current window height to view all the information.
Added actor specific bio info lists for BM-Advanced Status.
