Why the HELL did VX and Ace get rid of the select tool? WHY!?

Select tool? Is that the one that allows you to select parts of the map to copy somewhere else in the map?

I think you can still do that by right clicking then selecting the area you want to copy.

I think the HUD looks nice, but it would probably be too big on the default resolution of VX Ace with 4 characters.

I made an example.

And here is for 3 characters.

The third one was horrible.

It only works if you sing it in the patapon voice.

Virgin women. We had a problem before with the whole evil empire and virgin snatching and we basically ended up with a pony convention in 2 hours.

For anybody who is lost here is what all the hoopla is about.

And I stand by my comment. You are an annoying person whose attitude made me regret even helping you. And let me be clear, I have no problem editing or fixing a script when I've offered to help, since any script is going to have problems, but the way you reply felt off and condescending to me and I won't bother explaining to you why you are annoying in any more detail, as I've dealt with people like you before and it just ends in an endless loop of evasion and self defense that never ends.

You have to comment out the line, not the whole segment to remove the drawing of the item number.

#==============================================================================

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  This window displays a list of party items on the item screen.

class Window_ItemList < Window_Selectable

  # * Draw Number of Items
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_item_number(rect, item)
#    draw_text(rect, sprintf(":%2d", $game_party.item_number(item)), 2)
  end
end

As for the fading of the window parts, sadly I think those are part of the hidden class. The best solution in that case would be to create sprites you can manipulate to replace them in the window class.

I'll be honest, and I rarely say this, but you're somewhat annoying to help out and I'm starting to regret doing so.

As for drawing it comes from "Take or To take", it would take the name from there based on the results of the text match. And yes it would be possible to draw the name from a filename provided it has some special tags.

Just add the following at the start of the name of the image and it will take the name from there.

To set the animated battleback of a map you can add this to the map notes and it will draw the name from there.
