[MISSING] Easy Party Switcher v1.7b

lol, gone

That's a really cool script
But when I use it, it doesn't seem to like the 8th and 9th party member, when I try to disable them or not include them in the party it brings a message up saying 'Syntax error'

Great script Blizzard
OO WHAT AM I SAYING! ALl you're scripts are kewl

Mia which one and what did you put in the call script thing? I was having some problems with it but I managed to fix them.

I' m using XP and I put in the call script
$scene = Scene_PartySwitcher.new
$game_actors[007].disabled_for_party = true
(I change the number obviously)
With the 8th and 9th party member, when I use it for any of the three things it says 'Syntax error' and with the 10th and 11th member for anything they still appear and the setting aren't applied >.<

works if I try all but one of my characters disabled but when I made an 8th and the face for it and set that one as disabled I got the same problem   

doesn't seem to like any number above 7 with any of the syntaxes

May have to cut my extra characters out then >.<

make the characters you get first # 8, 9 ,10 ,11 and you won't have to remove them from the list

I won't be able to switch them round later though >.<
Doesn't matter, 7s a good number

if you want them disabled later in for multiple party stuff you can disable the entire party with the other syntaxes

I might use this eventually.

It should be

$game_actors[7].disabled_for_party = true

without the leading zeros. That could be it.

I tried that and it worked, thanks 

Updated the code.

I'm using this script:

#==============================================================================
# Easy Party Switcher by Blizzard
# Version 1.21b
# Date: 21.05.2006
# Date v1.1: 25.05.2006
# Date v1.2b: 27.05.2006
# Date v1.21b: 12.08.2006
#
#
# This is the official Party Switcher of:
# Chaos Project - The Three Moons™
#
#
# Special Thanks to:
# Zeriab for pointing out a few glitches and shortening the code. =D
#
#
# IMPORTANT NOTE:
#
# Be sure to set the $party_max_size to the maximum size of your party.
# There is already a preconfiguration of 4.
#
#
# Compatibility:
#
# 99% chance of full compatibility with SDK, not tested altough. Can cause
# incompatibility with Party Change Systems. WILL corrupt your old savegames.
#
#
# Features:
#
# - Set party members for "not _available" (shown transparent in the reserve)
# - Remove party members from the reserve list ("disabled_for_party")
# - Set party members, who MUST be in the party (shown transparent in the
# current party, "must_be_in_party")
# - option either to wipe the party (for multi-party use) or only remove every
# member (except 1) from the party.
# - Easy to use and easy to switch party members
# - also supports small parties (2 or 3 members) and large parties (5 or more)
#
#
# How to use:
#
# To call this script, make a "Call script" command in an event. The syntax is:
#
# $scene = Scene_PartySwitcher.new
# or
# $scene = Scene_PartySwitcher.new(XXX)
# or
# $scene = Scene_PartySwitcher.new(XXX, 1)
# or
# $scene = Scene_PartySwitcher.new(XXX, YYY, ZZZ)
#
# - If you use the first syntax, no extra feature will be applied and you can
# switch the party as you wish.
# - If you use the second syntax, you can replace XXX for 1 to remove all party
# members except one (either one, who must be in the party or a random one), or
# replace XXX with 2, to cause a wipe party. Wiping a party will disable the
# of the current members and a NEW party of the remaining members must be
# formed. If you replace it with 3, the current party configuration will be
# stored for a later fast switch-back.
# - If you use the third sytnax, you can use the XXX as described above or just
# set it to 0 to disable it. Also the "1" in the syntax will reset any
# disabled_for_party and is made to be used after multi-party use.
# - If you use the fourth syntax you can replace ZZZ with 1 to replace the
# party with a stored one AND store the current or replace it with 2 to replace
# the party with a stored one, but without storing the current. USE THIS ONLY
# IF YOU ASSUME TO HAVE A STORED PARTY READY! This syntax will not open the
# Party Switcher and it will override the commands XXX and YYY, so you can
# replace these with any number.
#
# - Character faces go into a "Faces" folder in "Characters" and they have the
# same name as the character spritesets have.
#
#
# Other syntaxes:
# $game_actors[XXX].not_available = true/false
# $game_actors[XXX].disabled_for_party = true/false
# $game_actors[XXX].must_be_in_party = true/false
#
# - not_available will disable the possibility of an already unlocked character
# to be in th current party.
# - disabled for party will cause the character NOT to appear in the party
# switch screen.
# - must_be_in_party will cause the character to be automatically moved into
# the current party, while switching parties and also he cannot be put in the
# reserve.
#
#
# Additional note:
#
# For your own sake, do not apply the attribute "must_be_in_party" to a
# character at the same time with "not_available" or "disabled_for_party" as
# this WILL disrupt your party and party switch system.

And I'm having some trouble with it.  Like... How do I make a faces folder in characters?  I'm not understanding that.  Do I just use the folder in my game file (That's the "C:/...Games/..." one?) Okay, it seems like that's it.  My original party has only 1 person, but all the faces pop up already.  What should I do, folks? D:  Sorry if this has already been asked or if this is in the wrong section. 

Download the demo.

It probably would have been smarter to post this in the topic.

C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Games\Legend of Dragoon\Graphics\Characters

thats where you need to go...and then make new folder in that folder...(Legend of dragoon is the name of the game folder I opened.

So open your game folder, go to Fraphics, then Chatacters and right click and make new folder named Faces...mine would look like

C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Games\Legend of Dragoon\Graphics\Characters\Faces

Download the demo.

I didnt take it from a demo. 

C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Games\Legend of Dragoon\Graphics\Characters

C:\Program Files\Enterbrain\Games\Legend of Dragoon\Graphics\Characters\Faces

Alright.  Any idea how to address the second part?

whats the second part?

and what darkloard ment, is that usually where you get the script in the same post they normally make a demo..it helps much

Lol, typos!

Just like the others said, make a new folder inside Graphics/Characters in your project folder and name it Faces. Put all the face graphic files in there. I'll merge the topics.

BTW, I've updated the code version 1.5b quite some time ago.

EDIT: I've just noticed something I've had to change. Code is the same like in 1.5b, so no worries, no update neccesary.

Hoa man.  I didn't get it from this topic, and..yeah..  Hahah.  Um. 

What syntax should I use so that only the available party is..available, and the other party members are not even VISIBLE in the party switcher thing?

$game_actors[X].disabled_for_party = true

where X is the ID of the hero in the database.
You can find all possible syntaxes in the instructions.

Just to let you know, your demo download isn't working...

"File not found".

I've re-uploaded the demo.
