[RMVX] Party Formation or Character Memorization

I am not asking for a script to allow the player to edit the formation, I want the game to change it for them in 1 single instance.

I am making a monster collection/battle game where, through a simple caterpillar script, the player is a human who is followed around by monsters. This is, in theory, to be done by having the player be an Actor that only appears on the maps. When the play opens the menu, they only see the monsters in their party.

The system I have set up, all with events, is as such: When the player hits B (x or esc) the screen fades out, the main Actor is removed and the menu is opened. When the player closes the menu the main actor returns to the party and the screen fades in.

The problem? When the player closes the menu they now are in control of their #1 monster and the player Actor is at the BACK of the party.

My idea for this system was to just force the player Actor to the front of the formation, which is impossible. The other idea was save the party monsters (a max of 3) each in 3 different variables and then re add the player Actor followed by whatever monster date is in the 3 variables. I can see a Variable command to add the party members to a variable, but not a way to Add the part based on what's in the variable. This is totally something that would've been possible in RM2K3.

So does anyone know a way to remove the party leader and then re-add him in the same leader position?

RPG Maker on a Mac

I know this topic has probably been beaten to death, but the solutions are all constantly changing and being outdated, and every case is different, so I thought I'd come here for some help.

I used every RPG Maker ever released on a PC, but when I got a Mac I had the Windows Parallels for a couple years until that stopped working (the version I got was no longer being supported... Or something.) And then I could only rely on the PCs on the school campus. Well, now I've graduated and it's just me and my Mac.

Now I know there are a plethora of ways to install RPG Makers (I'm specifically interested in VX) on a Mac, but there is a common problem I've been running into.

All RPG Maker installers come in two parts. The actual software and the RTP. When I've tried something like CrossOver or WineBottler, everything works seemingly perfectly until I try to launch the program, at which point it tells me the RTP is not installed. The folders for the RMVX system files and the RTP are installed in at least 3 places on my Mac, but somehow these "Windows on a PC" tricks can't seem to handle the whole RTP thing.

All the tutorials on how to run RPG Makers on a mac are from years ago, Wine is a completely different app then it was in 2009.

So does anyone know a way, now in 2014, to run RPG Maker VX on a Mac?

(This is doubly annoying since I don't even plan on using ANY of the RTP graphics anyway.)

I do a web series

So yeah, I run a web series. It's a movie review series where the personal life of the fictional reviewer tends to get in his way. The influences are obvious, I'm not ripping anyone off.

Its a nostalgic show, so anyone in their late teens, early twenty's should love it.

The first season has wrapped and can be found here: www.moderngafa.com

It's been around for a bit and the audience is lacking, so any suport would be appreciated. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and share us with your friends.
