[VX] Single Actor Menu Version: 1.1
By: Brew

Introduction

Yes, I know there are a bunch of single actor menus available. If you like any of them better, use it. Won't hurt my feelings a bit. :scruff:
This was by request, is pretty plain & simple. I figured it could also be used as an example for budding script-writers, or as a starting point.


Features
  • Add "Load" to menu
  • Remove "Skills" from menu
  • Eliminate Character Selection.
  • Reformatted Status Window

I actually started something like this, since I was fiddling around with the idea of having a one player party in VX, I've also made a one player battle layout in the VX style. I think since this is already done I'll take it and meddle with it, maybe change some things around, lol.

@udivision: I assume because it was part of the request.

@Brew: Indeed a nice little script... I've seen a few fellas having problems with taking the actor selection part out, so this might really be a good reference.
I see neat scripting style as well, for once... you follow RMVX's style pretty closely; a bit too much at times, like the command window initialization - I don't think assigning 5 variables just to dump them a second later makes too much sense, and I'm not sure why Enterbrain did it.

The one thing that really confuses me is the font assigning... Why would you assign a specific font to the menu, while keeping the same windowskin the rest of the game uses? That'll create confusion if anything, and Verdana and Arial aren't fonts you need to layout your dream menu either, IMO... another request thing, probably?

All in all, quite good work on this once, though - might come in handy for some!

Yes, the requester left skills off the menu. I assume because his skills are all battle related. It would be pretty easy to add back.
He also asked for the ability to change the font for the menu.

Blue, I expect the reason for assigning the menu options to variables was just for 'neatness'.
I do the same thing when I'm coding something I expect novice programmers to use as an example or learning tool.
I did see a nice modification to the battle actor command window that did command selection using the command name instead of index.
Nice, because you could rearrange the menu and each command works as intended regardless of position.

Be Well

end

There was a bug that repeated for me when I cancelled the Game End option and it added another menu selection with no value.
