KItemDesc VX

Zilsel Version

version 1.0.2

by Kyonides

Introduction

This scriptlet just pretends to implement zlsl's need of a different item description menu by adding an extra window to display an icon or picture plus the hero's comment.

You may also want to activate a global switch to show skills as if they were simple items! Shocked

Don't worry! You can deactivate that at any given time!

Warning: The player cannot change this on his own so you would need to let them use an event as a trigger.

Just paste it in a script section above Main but below Scene_Debug.

# * KItemDesc VX Zilsel Version

#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes

#   v1.0.2 - 2019-11-30

# This scriptlet allows you to show custom icons and comments in the Inventory

# Menu scene. It will show the party leader's opinion on a given item.

# Optional: Place large icons in Graphics/Pictures folder with their item names.

# You may also allow the player to check out his or her skills on the same menu

# by activating a global switch via an event command. It can be deactivated at

# any given time!
