TWINBLAKE'S PROFILE

Hey, I've tried posting this on the RPG Revolution forums, but haven't got too many helpful responses. I have quite a few questions, so any help is appreciated. I am just picking up RPG Maker after a very long break, but I still remember a good bit about it and have my older games as reference.

Question 1: I downloaded the version of RM2k3 from RPG Revolution, and the text looks horrible. It hurts my eyes to even look at it (I did even change the system graphics to ones that I had before from my old RM2k game). Here's a quick picture of just how bad it looks.

Question 2: Each job in my game has what I call an action ability, or a job ability, if you will. I want this ability to be one that you can click in battle, but is not listed under what you learn as you level. For example, the warrior would start off with the action ability: "ChargeUp" which increases attacks. And would learn Drakslash as he levels, which would fall under a different category. It seems possible to do this with RM2k3, but I just may not be doing it right. I see "Skills" and "SkillSubset" as choices, but not exactly sure how to implement this. If possible, ChargeUp you wouldn't have to enter an extra menu to use it either, it would automatically go just as if you were hitting the fight command.

Question 3: Over the course of the game, I'm going to allow access to advanced jobs, but I don't want it to be an easy process. I'll give some background information first: I am creating a Dragon Warrior game. There are about 8 starting classes to pick from, and you hire them from Rudida's Tavern (same fashion as Dragon Warrior 3). As you progress, you'll find Dharma Temple. You ideally will need to have mastered your previous job (obtaining max level) and find a key item I'm going to make you find in the game (I know how to do this part). But I am wondering, is the obtaining max level prerequisite possible? Thanks!

And last Question: This pertains to an in-game error when I try to test it. What I'm doing, is using my old games basic concepts, but recreating it with better graphics and giving it a better Dragon Warrior feel. I chose RM2k3 instead of RM2k to do this. So I started rebuilding all my spells and items and reogganized everything, and when I try to test the game or do a test battle, I get this message:

"Event script referenced an item that does not exist."

So basically what I have, is I deleted all the regular items and events that came with the RMT. And so I started to build my own before I even start making my game. I just don't understand how it's referencing an event that doesn't even exist. I've made my heros/skills/and starting on items now. No events or anything even in my game yet!
