Map : Change Encounters Version: 3.5 By: Kain Nobel
Introduction
I just created this so you can change map encounter list and step values... normally, you'd probably find yourself copy/pasting duplicate maps to have different encounters, but now you don't have to! It'll give your project just a little less weight, as far as 'duplicate maps' go...
Features
$game_map.encounter_list = [...] will change encounter list on current map
$game_map.encounter_step = number will change encounter steps on current map
$game_map.encounter_list = nil will reset encounter list to default
$game_map.encounter_step = nil will reset encounter step to default
$game_map.encounters[map_id].list = [...] will change encounter list on specified map
$game_map.encounters[map_id].step = number will change encounter steps on specified map
$game_map.encounters[map_id].list = nil will reset specified map's encounter list to default
$game_map.encounters[map_id].step = nil will reset specified map's encounter step to default
Changes to encounters and steps are effective the second you call it!
Enough said... wow the features are your instructions, how odd?

Compatibility
Wow, this doesn't require SDK? How cool... however, this corrupts old save files, just to let'cha know!
This script aliases the following methods...
Game_Map.encounter_list
Game_Map.encounter_step
This script creates the following methods...
Game_Map.encounter_list=
Game_Map.encounter_step=
Donno if this works for VX but maybe it does? I do recall VX using "areas" to define encounters, so I'm guessing that could be an issue, but I'm just making a general assumption that for some reason it might not work in VX. Either way, I have VX so if you need a version made for it then I'll see what I can do for ya!
