Instructions
Plenty, and within the title/header page. There are so many options, you gotta be NUTS to delete it.
FAQ
Includes the FONTZ script that grants Outline, Shadow, Underline and Strikethru styles.
MOST of the system between both demos are the same, only using different "System Adaptation Scripts" depending on standard and SDK editions.
Compatibility
Designed for RPGMaker XP. Overwrites the Message system, some components of Game Battler, and main scripts within Scene_Map and Scene_Battle. Please refer to the System Adaptation Scripts which perform most overwrite changes where most changes may be needed. Edited areas are 'marked'.
