If you want to help, you'll need to know some RGSS and some Visual Basic if you would like to help.

I wanna take a guess here. You used modules near the top of the script to easily allow the user to change the name of shit and what not??
Nope. Its an actual program and it doesnt use modules. I used a bunch of lines from the scene menu to get this and it took awhile to get where I was now.
As in, it dynamically generates code. As in, it will run a macro to produce Ruby code for it.
Basically a Visual Menu Editor, GG?
Yup. I am going to post a screenie of what it looks like. I didnt have time to do it last night when I posted it.
EDIT: Posted a screenie

Features you might wanna add:
Features:
- Window Config - Player decides what windows he/she wants
- Animated Option - Player decides if he wants it animated
- Player Status Window - 2 options : Have it one big window, or small individual windows (see Blizz's STCMS)
- Options - Have them have individual options along with the Scene call box (For people who doesn't know how to add options.) or if they have different scenes
- Bars - Have them pick what bars they want and the style for the Player Status
That's all I could think of so far. Tested it out, looks nice. Can't wait for update.

I'm working on those options right now guys!!
And is this program confusing to anybody? Please let me know and I'll make a guide for it.
...cool...
For the next update I'll have these options added
Blizz's ToA Bars
Turn on/off certain windows
I love how the program itself IS a program, Lol.
lol thnx. Yea I wanted to make this so people can easily make the menu a bit different then the normal boring plain one.
Oh and another feature I'll include is having two new options that can be added into the menu i.e. Party Changer, Bestiary etc so you'll be able to add two new options with customizable icons for them, names, and the scenes it calles
This app is revolutionizing shit!!
*LVL up*
He had many other things he was working on to benefit RMXP but he never continued with most of them. Least I don't think he did.
But it is pretty sweet.
Munkey Like I told you last night I am going to remake them
Easy Game_Guy. I don't think he meant to offend.
At any rate, what were some of those things mentioned?
Yea I was just saying that you were in the making of other ones that you just didn't finish yet and if you did then I didn't know. I wasn't trying to offend.
I wasnt mad I was just saying I told him last night not sure if he remembers :P
Its called RMXP Helper mostly for beginners. Lists some helpful event systems, scripts, tutorials, resources and a few other things
MAJOR UPDATE!!! This is now Version 1.12 no longer beta!!!!
New download and new features!!! Please comment on them and try it please!

good job oh and for animation with custom use a move medthod in the window base class that moves windows to target spot when the window update method is called and then set the start spot of each window based on which side of the screen it is closest to.
Well for animation I plan on using Fantasists basic moving windows that way windows can be in any spot but still animate in. And I'll add the @back.update in the update method too. Any other suggestions?
you should make you own move method that doesn't have the deceleration effect but if you want that effect than ya use Fant's, better yet make you one method and give people an option between the two, Dcel or no Dcel.
I'll try, right now subtracting the x and y to move windows is the only way I know of right now.
Next update features:
Turn some windows on/off > Gold, Steps, Playtime
Add moving windows for custom locations
Update map to animate autotiles
Any other suggestions?
>=( I had this idea and pplz said it was stupid :'( Copycat....
(Everyone does this to me *eye twitch*)
This isnt a CMS creator. Its a defualt menu enhancer.
This is cool but when i put my script it says (http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss76/acebelowzero/Capture-2.jpg)
And if i cant use the menu also if i delete the update when i go to the Menu in the game it just freezes or doesnt let me pick an option. Pleas help.
I currently am not able to fix this...sorry all my visual basic stuff is gone...but when I work on it again it'll have more features...just I really dont feel like working on this currently so for now I'm closing the topic until I release an update.
