FFX-2 CBS Edit / CBS Request Similar

[Taylor]

Most people use a 640x480 game size, however I have a script that changes the size to 480x320 (double GBA size). Most of my scripts have been reletivly (gah i cnt spel) easy to squeeze into the new resolution, but I find that the ffx-2 CBS is too complicated for me. oO

Here are the scripts I use to resize the game screen- use them to help get an idea of where to shift everything.

(Does not include map fixes beause you won't need 'em)

Extra edits I want include-
1. No 'Skills' menu.
2. No ATK/PDEF/MDEF in Status or Equip. In Equip use the four other status to show the influence of euipment.
3. Because I'm using the animated battlers, do not use a battler in the status screen, have the status window take up most of the screen instead of leaving a space for the battler.
4. There are only three heroes in a party at once, this'll give more room for the main menu statuseses....es
5. Normally '32' is used to space out items, lists, lines etc. I've been using '24'. Allows more in a smaller space.
6. Don't worry about images, just give them a re-sizing in Paint. I cannot picture how it'll look so I can't tell how big the images will be.

EDIT: My faces are directly in Pictures/, are 84x84 and are named 'face_[heroname]' e.g face_jirby

If there is anything else you need to know. Feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance. Credit will be given. (dur)
