XAIL MENU from RPG VX ACE to RPG XP

[DerVVulfman]

Here's a sample of what I mean by a 2-part config... Part 2 itself.

First, the menu options are broken into two lists. One humongous list per entry is just harder to see, so there are two of them... one for appearance options while the other for functionality.

Second, each has headers describing what each entry contains. I hope those will be self explanatory, but I have a tendency to add extra instructions at the beginning of any script assuming I do not have an accompanying help/chm file as I have recently with my Lycan ABS.

Of the entries in the list, note that two of them (index position 1 and index position 3) have extra values.

Index position 1 (aka LIST1[1] / LIST2[1]) for the Equip menu option ends with 2, false in the first list. This means the menu option for the equip menu is disabled until RMXP Switch #2 is turned on. Merely disabled. But index position 3 (aka LIST1[3]/LIST2[3]) is set up differently...

Index Position 3 within the first list ends with 1, true , which means that RMXP Switch #1 must be turned on for it to function. However, the 'true' value indicates that the option isn't disabled, but fully hidden from the menu itself. Neat? Now one more thing: In the 2nd list for Index Position 3, it doesn't have a Scene Command or Common Event ID number, but a string. This string is the same as the string in the 'PARTY_ORDER' configurable. This turns on the party member reordering system.

Other instructions will be given in the script on how to make some actors fixed in the party, such as enforcing the lead party member from being changed.
