Large Party

[Dargor]

Large Party
by Dargor
Version 1.3

Introduction

My version of Large Party. You all know what it does! There's a little feature that let you scroll up/down the status window's contents in battle. Simply press L/R (PageUp/PageDown) when the party commands window is active. You can also have more than 4 party members in battle test. Add the actor's id in the BTEST_Extra_Actors constant in the configuration module.

Enjoy!

Notes

I changed a bit the way to customize the party size. Instead of using the MAX_MEMBERS constant in Game_Party, you should use $game_party.max_members = value
Don't forget to give me credit!
