WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

Now that that's done with, if I were smart, I would not type "rpgmaker.net" into my browser URL bar again until I've got a hankering to make or play some RPG Maker games. (Which is a condition that seems to effect me more-or-less annually, or at least has for the last decade or so.)

You know nothing but good will come from this, right?

i'm personally content with being the corporate janitor until further notice

i'm boring like that

Pretty much! XD I need to start and fail another few community games to gain corporate EXP. :P

I get that you are trying to be funny, but really, it's true

You know, I'm getting really sick of people justifying shitty behavior of any kind or are in denial about things. I'm trying not to flip out here, though, stronger measures will have to be taken.

I apologize if you find my behavior to be shitty. I maybe get too ornery about topics like that but I also find it kind of upsetting to watch them constantly get derailed?

Relax, its not you soli.

Back pain huh??
Hurt mine in Vietnam, 1967.
Lost 2 inches because of shrinking discs.
Bent forward because of the constant pain.
Thank God for methadone, don't know where I would be without it.....

Don't holla at me, you brought up back pain :) hahahaha

Hell, if it's not taking part in battles (and thus not using skills, equips and the like) it probably doesn't have to be in the menu. You can just have an event during scenes that represents that person.

Or make a custom 'Companions' menu that shows when you have other characters in your party through various ways. Have a menu that starts up instead of the main menu and have it show all your party, then have an option to 'Configure Battle Party' or something like that which takes you to the main menu.

Have a key item that calls a submenu showing a companion list or something like that.

Have a certain key that when pressed shows you who is in your group, separate from the main menu.

I had no idea any of these things like creating custom menus and assigning custom actions to buttons were possible in vanilla rm2k3 to be honest. I still don't know.

Also, here:

That looks interesting but it doesn't say if the game has to be an rpg. If it has to be then i'm super screwed because creating dialogue in any engine that is not rpg maker is nightmarish.

If you don't use the default random encounter system (hint: you shouldn't because it sucks) then it'd be really easy to remove a party member before battle and then add them back to the party afterwards...

Like i'd be totally up for using any other system but it seems like tons of work to make sure it works as intended and i don't know if i have the motivation to do that when i barely have enough motivation to make all of the graphic assets from scratch. Making a game alone sucks, specially so when you know the game in the end is going to have a mediocre story because i'm not a writer. But i digress.

yay you successfully shut down the discussion! *high fives*

Credit is certainly due to him, but there were plenty of others that made that topic a shithole and deserve just as much credit.
