Instructions

The usual song 'n dance... place below 'Scene_Debug'/'SDK' if using and above 'main'

Compatibility

Should be compatible with almost anything, most likely to encounter some kinda conflict if you use a special party script which locks characters into a certain position in the party.

Author's Notes

If you need anything modified to work with your party script, you'll have to PM me because I'm not going to be watching this topic.

Terms and Conditions

Free to use in any game, I don't care if you credit me for this one.

Well... It sounded like a kickass idea until I saw the SDK requirement. If you could make a non-SDK version, I'm sure you'd get more popularity.

Perhaps it will work by removing SDK log/check lines.(beware alias_method)

 

[Barchetta]

Well I haven't setup my game to include the next set of characters in my menu so I won't be messign with this just yet. I still have around thirty other scripts to fully configure on my game, anyway.

I'll give it a look-over tomorrow and give some feedback.
