Introduction
This is my Large Party script.
What's the difference with other Large Party scripts?
The battle status window.
Features
- Unlimited party size
- Scrolling menu status window
- Scrolling battle status window & sprites
Screenshots
Think of the menu status window which scrolls up and down. Then, think of the battle status window which scrolls from left to right.

Author's Notes
The script was originally meant to be an add-on to my party changer script. This version has been optimized to be as compatible as possible.
