KA-terpillar + Settings

[kyonides]

KA-terpillar v 1.1.1

+ Settings Menu + Save/End Menu Mod

by Kyonides-Arkanthos

Features

This plug and play script lets you see the other 3 party members on screen like other scripts do but also lets you change the current party formation by shifting the first member to the last position or the last one to the first position or it shifts them semi-randomly for you. You can check its simple menu to change the settings at any time, it even includes dummy characters so you can check out what are the changes that you want to apply to your team.

You may also pick one of its current 3 formations or characters' alignments (Caterpillar, T-Formation, X or Cross Formation).

Instructions

Paste these scripts below the second to last default script in the same order as found here and pay close attention to the Constants just in case you really want to change any settings.

Since version 1.1.1 there are 2 new script calls you may want to use during gameplay. If you need to separate the leader from his or her team during gameplay the way Breath of Fire 1 did every single time you visited a Dragon Shrine. Do not fear, fellow adventurers, there is another script call to reunite them after the leader passed or failed the test. Check out the comments included on my script.

Don't forget to mention my name! Remember these scripts are not available for commercial games.

BUMP!

Version 1.1.0 is now available for all board members. Now the caterpillar character alignment is just one of 3 possible modes available on this version of my scripts.

BUMP!

Version 1.1.1 is now available for all board members. Now the script allows you to separate the leader from his or her team at any time and make him come back just like it happened in Breath of Fire 1 while being at a Dragon Shrine. Obviously you would need to make sure you created an event that would block the pass. Sadly it doesn't check who is the one entitle to become a dragon or anything like that but that can be easily done with the good use of a few event commands.
