Nice for a first script :D

 

[Mundane]

What does it do? Is it just a CMS?

 

[Twirly]

Yeah it's just a CMS
@muffin
Thank you!

Well, it's your first, so I'm going to critique. But no hard feelings, just trying to help out.
That layout is fine, except the weird list of actors in the middle, I don't quite understand that.
And the 2x2 layout of the party members is nice, but you can't see the level or states, level being more important to me.
You could always place the level (or states if you think it's more important) above the Actor HP.

Other than that, the menu is neat and runs pretty smoothly, Nice work. :thumb:

Thanks Ikos the names are there because I dont know how to make a cursor which switches between the boxes...
Mybe i should add the levels to the name box...

Updated the script. (This update is just the version of this script i'm probably gonna use for a game i'm making.The real update's gonna
be made by sojabird so you can choose which version you want to use. However you have to credit for both versions asdren and sojabird)
In my update you can see the level in the actor name list  now and it has music in the menu. (just import a song with the name Menu and the song will be played when you enter the menu :D)
now the actor boxes show the status of the member too. :wink:
