Interesting Update!

A few hours ago I had published an extended version of my script. It now features a few error messages in several languages, namely English, Spanish, German and French. Nope, they won't close your game abruptly.

My script also lets you save your new hero's current equipment by sending it to the party's bag or purse automatically. This feature seemed to be convenient so I felt I had to add it at once.

The Script Has Been Revamped!

From now on, you can test how the script works thanks to its brand new demo!
It will tell you a sad story indeed.

By the way, I have shortened the script calls.

And yes, I have fixed a couple of  bugs found in the original code.

An Update that Kept VeXing Poor Me!

Well, you know me very well by now. If I realize that something works fine  in a specific engine, it's a matter of time before I port it to another one.

So from now on, RMVX can also enjoy the same benefits of using my script as the original RMXP script!
And yes, it also features a short story!
