Party Changer Menu 1.2
by Black Mage​

 
Introduction
When you using RMXP, you’ll notice that when the party is full then you need to take out someone in your party before adding the other character. When you have small number of available characters, this wouldn’t be a problem as it can be solved using events and conditional branches. But what if you have a large ammount of them? Let’s say about a hundred of them or so? The eventing must be soo tiring.

This script will easen you as it gives you a menu where you can change characters inside the party with characters that is available to player with just a click, or presssing the confirmation button :v .

Features
- You can change party easily (obvious duh).
- Friendly with a game that have too many characters, i.e. suikoden.
- Two modes, Normal Mode (or the old one mode  
) and Information Mode.
 
Regarding the modes, they'll be explained using screenshots.

Screenshots
 

SpoilerNormal Mode



 
Information Mode






As you can see from the screenshots, in Information Mode, instead of the normal menu, it gives information about characer highlighted in the menu. The Character Profile window can be customized with some RGSS scripting skill.

How to Use
The set up is simple. First, put this script on your game (above the main as usual). After that, you just need to specify which characters that player can change in their party using this script call.$partychange[Character Number In Database – 1] = true$game_map.refresh 
So, if you want to put Character number 3 to be available in the party changer menu, put this on script call.

$partychange[2] = true$game_map.refresh 
Change the value into false if you want to remove them from the menu.
To call the menu, put this on script call.

$scene = Scene_Party.new 
The version 1.2 above give you a menu mode called "Information Mode" where it include a profile of the character that is highlighted in the menu. Beware that this mode is highly customizable, so you need some knowledge on RGSS scripting to utilize to it upmost potential. To call this menu, put this on script call

$scene = Scene_Party.new(0,1) 
If you have some knowledge on RGSS scripting, you may do edits to Profile Window located on line 350 onwards to make the Profile Window that you like.
