Version: 1.0
Also available for RPGMaker XP

Introduction

Tired of being stuck with maps that cannot be any larger than 500x500 or whatever limitation was set within your game editor? This script allows one to tell RPGMaker to take a hike!

With this script, you can force a map to a new width and height of your choice. And that map size remains stored in your maps file data so altering the 'properties' doesn't change anything... unless you alter the size in the map's properties window itself.

If you create dimensions for a map that does not exist in your map tree, no error will occur as it will any settings you created that are invalid.

After execution, t he script/program will end. If your currently viewed map is one of those being resized, merely switch to another map and then return and you will see the new map freshly reloaded and resized!



Features
  • Break the maximum size limit
  • Works with all three Ruby-based editors
    • Change the SUFFIX value to rxdata/rvdata/rvdata2
  • Keep editing even after run



Screenshots

It would just be two shots of the map editor, before map resizing and after.



Script

Have Fun!


Instructions

Place below Scene_Debug and above Main. Make sure the ACTIVATE value is set to true when you DO want it to run. And set the SUFFIX value to the proper file extension of your chosen RPG Maker editor's data files.

Other content should be easily understandable.



FAQ

Heh. I didn't expect I'd make something that works carte blanche for all three when I started half an hour ago. Yep, this was a quick script creation with a hella good payout!



Compatibility

Fairly compatible for all Ruby-based RPGMaker engines. No default classes were touched.

By Ebanyle
Have you ever felt the need to try another strategy in the middle of the battle, but not being able to pull your warrior or archer into the team? Did you ever helplessly watch a Game Over after your party was beaten to a pulp, even though it has 1001 members who are not currently in battle?
Fear no more! This script will (perhaps) help you!
Features
  • Call members in reserve to battle;
  • Call a reserve member to battle when your current battle members have been defeated;
  • Set a cooldown for swaps;
  • Set a limit for swaps.

How to Use

Paste this below materials but above main. If you have any battle scripts, I recommend you to paste this below them.

Compatibility

This script may not work with any scripts that modify the battle scene, such as HUDs and some battle systems, especially ATB.

It is supposed to be compatible with the following:
  • Yanfly Engine Ace - Battle Engine
  • Theolized Sideview Battlescript
I may or may not be able to make some scripts compatible if asked.

Terms of Use

  • Credit me as Ebanyle;
  • Do not remove the header.

Thanks
  • Yanfly - For some code reference
  • Traverse - Snippet fix for adding members mid-battle in TSBS (from here)

Notes
There is an issue with the battle log's speed (message spawns out too fast iirc), and also with both active and reserve party's windows not being properly centralized (they keep to the right accounting for battle command's window). I unfortunately have not managed to be able to move either at this state.
I kind of f*ed around and found out with whatever methods would work to prevent a Game Over before checking for swaps, which in my case was... aliasing a BattleManager method.
I don't know anything about programming and consider it a miracle I even managed to make such a script, so it's probably really crude even for my own usage within other systems, really. I was just bummed there was no script available with such a concept, which I'm a sucker for. But well! Everyone starts somewhere, right?]]> Battle Swap & Last Resort v 1.0

Helladen - 07-27-2012 Wrote:This script will skip the party command window when a battle starts and when a turn ends, because it is really annoying to click fight, and most of the time you will not run. Furthermore, I have added an option to disable it from skipping when a battle starts to help make it more friendly to developers. I also left in the compatibility for YEA - Command Party since it won't really affect anyone as well.

This script should work with almost every system, and to install it just paste it above main and below all your other scripts.

I tried to recreate it, modifying Yanfly's YEA - Battle Engine's code, like OP.
So like, all the credit goes to Yanfly.

To be clear, this is not OP's code, this is what I imagine it was like. It works, though.
Code:
class Scene_Battle < Scene_Base

    @party_command_window.deactivate

by Kyonides

Introduction

Let the player do crazy stuff like slipping into a pond or climbing a mountain (no batteries nor UI included) by just owning a very specific item.

Everything is handled by the very short KTrespass module. Just a custom note in the item's notebox:

Code:
<passable terrain: 0-63>

NOTES:
  • The VX tileset is composed of very minuscule pieces so you are in need of setting a tile ID range to make the script work properly.
  • You will eventually need to create events that include a special script call in order to retrieve a tile ID.

The Script

Code:
# * KTrespass VX * #
#   Scripter : Kyonides
#   v1.0.1 - 2026-06-27

# Let the player slip into a pond or climb a mountain (no UI included)
# if the party owns a specific item.
# Just leave a note in the item's notebox. Replace TileID with a number.
# You must set ranges because the tileset is composed of very tiny pieces.
#   <passable terrain: TileID1-TileID2>

# * Helpful Script Call * #
# - Get the Next Tile IDs (From Bottom to Top) During Playtest:
# x, y, dir = $game_player.x_y_dir
# $game_map.next_tile_id?(x, y, dir)

by Kyonides
Introduction

In the last few days of RMW, a forumer called avelanch had made a couple of requests. One of them was monster related: the engine should display a custom enter monster message before you can get access to the battle menu. This script is a very simplistic approach to the original concept.

Required Steps

  1. Create a new Constant inside the small Vocab module extension my scripts has provided you.
  2. Add a new entry to the LIST hash. Use the enemy's name as the key and any of the Vocab Constants as its specific value.

The Script(s)

Constant Version - Because it relies on CONSTANTS to store all the custom text messages.

Code:
# * Enter Monster Message ACE * #
# * Constant Version          * #
#   Scripter : Kyonides
#   2026-06-19

module Vocab
  Bite    = "%s is ready to bite you!"
  Chewing = "%s started chewing some cheese!"
  SlipIn  = "%s slips into the battlefield!"
  Buzzing = "%s starts buzzing!"
  Bonfire = "%s lit a bonfire!"
end

module EnterMonster
  include Vocab
  LIST = {} # Leave this line alone!
  LIST.default = Emerge
  LIST["Slime"] = SlipIn
  LIST["Bat"] = Bite
  LIST["Hornet"] = Buzzing
  LIST["Spider"] = Bite
  LIST["Rat"] = Chewing
  LIST["Wisp"] = Bonfire
end

module BattleManager
  def self.find_monster_start_message(name)
    template = EnterMonster::LIST[name]
    sprintf(template, name)
  end

  def self.battle_start
    $game_system.battle_count += 1
    $game_party.on_battle_start
    $game_troop.on_battle_start
    $game_troop.all_enemy_names.each do |name|
      text = find_monster_start_message(name)
      $game_message.add(text)
    end
    if @preemptive
      $game_message.add(sprintf(Vocab::Preemptive, $game_party.name))
    elsif @surprise
      $game_message.add(sprintf(Vocab::Surprise, $game_party.name))
    end
    wait_for_message
  end
end

class Game_Troop
  def all_enemy_names
    members.map(&:original_name)
  end
end

In the future I may publish another version that relies on custom note tags placed in the enemy's notebox.

This download for all of the RPGMaker VX files is  260MB in size.
And the downloads for the RPGMaker VXAce files is likely to average between 300MB to 600MB in size.

These archives contain the 1st page... the MAIN page... of VX and VXAce RubyScript Plugins post at RPGMaker Webs.


For a limited time.  These can be deleted when need no longer exists.

The Index to the VX RubyScript (RGSS2) Scripts has roughly 9 pages, with 20 released RGSS2 scripts per page.  With some threads being requests and some having dl.dropbox links that have long expired and with no alternate sources anywyere, that amounts to over 400 plugins.

And the VXAce Rubyscripts (RGSS3) Scripts will be in download packages of 10 index pages, up to 9 downloads in total.

ONLY the first page of each was saved given that it was the main page with the scripts or download links.  I endeavored to grab every requisite attachment, though very little in attachments even existed as posters opted for off-site image source links.

So without further adieu, the LINKS:

--- a file supplied by Orochii that was originally a missing dl.dropbox link he recovered for us
--- OZ Overlays is a script from index Page 73



STRUCTURE:

Every index page filled with scripts has its own folder (~1, ~2, ~8...).  And you can find those within their own master folders in groups of ten... except the very last few folders.

In each numbered folder filled with plugins, you will find (on average) 20 html files and matching folders containing their webpage graphics. Sadly, the webpage graphics is what causes the filesize bloat. But removing the wrong files could cause issues with the page display. 

Also within each numbered folder, there will be a subfolder named ~ATTACHMENTS.  It is here where necessary graphics and files are stored, those that the poster did not supply links (such as Imgur, photobucket, etc, or Github, ItchIo). To prevent their loss, they were downloaded and all placed within this folder.  It is a bit mix-n-match, but the graphic files should have names attributed to their posts and numbered in the order they were 'attached' to their post.]]>
This download for all of the RPGMaker VX files is  260MB in size.
And the downloads for the RPGMaker VXAce files is likely to average between 300MB to 600MB in size.

These archives contain the 1st page... the MAIN page... of VX and VXAce RubyScript Plugins post at RPGMaker Webs.


For a limited time.  These can be deleted when need no longer exists.

The Index to the VX RubyScript (RGSS2) Scripts has roughly 9 pages, with 20 released RGSS2 scripts per page.  With some threads being requests and some having dl.dropbox links that have long expired and with no alternate sources anywyere, that amounts to over 400 plugins.

And the VXAce Rubyscripts (RGSS3) Scripts will be in download packages of 10 index pages, up to 9 downloads in total.

ONLY the first page of each was saved given that it was the main page with the scripts or download links.  I endeavored to grab every requisite attachment, though very little in attachments even existed as posters opted for off-site image source links.

So without further adieu, the LINKS:

The RPGMaker Webs RMVX Links!

Introduction

This scriptlet allows you to open a simple menu where you can choose your enemy's troops based on the current map's random enemy encounter list.
It will use the map's battleback picture as its backdrop. Don't worry Worried about this, it will cover the whole RMVX ACE game screen by default. Winking
You are encouraged to set a custom BGM, otherwise the scene will remain silent until you have finished picking a foe.

AVAILABLE MODES
  • :accessory
  • :levels

Accessory Mode

By the way, setting a specific "Choose Foe" accessory is mandatory here!

Actors' Level Average Mode

You must set a default level plus any specific map's average level.

Introduction

This scriptlet allows you to set custom enemy defeated messages.

Just leave a note in the DB Enemy's notebox:
Code:
<defeat> cried out loud!</defeat>

WARNING: The string should always begin with an empty space.

It will display the message without the <defeat> tags on screen.

By default the scriptlet uses the Battle Log here known as :log .
You can set it to :window to display the message window instead.

And you can call it to change the current display mode ingame!

Code:
EnemySlain.message_mode = :log
EnemySlain.message_mode = :window

Version: 1.0


Introduction
I had been tinkering with the manipulation of the available gaming area for RPGMaker XP games. And I did well with a barebones script that did not require the use of any external .DLL outside of Win32 manipulations, a script based upon the work of Selwyn (formerly Squall).

This specific script is an adapation of my XP version, but altered for use with RPGMaker VX Ace. Simpler in design due to updates made in the Viewport class and Weather system.

The Game.Exe's Fullscreen mode reverts to a fixed 640x480 resolution so the [ALT]+[ENTER] key combination is disabled. Fullscreen mode is literally disabled by intent with this setup.



Screenshots
None.

Plenty, and in the script.



Compatibility

Alters the screen size, so other scripts that adjust viewport settings will need to be likewise altered.



Credits and Thanks
The very basics of this system comes from the DLL-free version of Selwyn's resolution script.

And thanks goes to ViperDamascus who was looking for a script to increase VXAce's screen size beyond the 640x480 maximum.

Version: 1.0


Introduction
I had been tinkering with the manipulation of the available gaming area for RPGMaker XP games. And I did well with a barebones script that did not require the use of any external .DLL outside of Win32 manipulations, a script based upon the work of Selwyn (formerly Squall).

This specific script is an adapation of my XP version, but altered for use with RPGMaker VX Ace. Simpler in design due to updates made in the Viewport class and Weather system.

The Game.Exe's Fullscreen mode reverts to a fixed 640x480 resolution so the [ALT]+[ENTER] key combination is disabled. Fullscreen mode is literally disabled by intent with this setup.



Screenshots
None.

Sometimes your heroes deserve a second chance to defeat that terrible mega boss. Or you might simply think that their story should not end because they were just too weak after an epic battle as to also Worried worry about facing a couple of slimes right away.

No matter what your excuse might be, now your heroes can be automatically revived once!

Just set a specific state ID and the HP percentage they will recover and that's it!

Happy with a sweat Of course, if a given hero dies without having that state listed at that critical moment, it's Skull game over for him or her! Laughing

Introduction

I'm back to leave you another scriptlet that will allow you to use hex colors in your windows and sprites with ease.

This code will work on RMXP, RMVX and even RMVX ACE! Shocked

Just use it like this:

For Windows:
Code:
self.contents.font.color = hex_color("FF00FF")

For Sprites:
Code:
self.bitmap.font.color = hex_color("FF00FF")

In this particular case, your text will become purple-ish! Virus 

You can also add 2 extra characters to set the alpha value of your custom color manually.

In both cases you can add the # pound sign at the beginning of the string, but it's not mandatory.

The Script

Code:
# * Hex Colors RG * #
#  Scripter : Kyonides
#  2025-11-18

module Hex
  def hex_color(hex)
    digits = hex.size
    hex.sub!("#", "")
    red = hex[0, 2].to_i(16)
    green = hex[2, 2].to_i(16)
    blue = hex[4, 2].to_i(16)
    alpha = digits == 8 ? hex[6, 2] : 255
    Color.new(red, green, blue, alpha)

by Kyonides

Introduction

Limit the type of weapons or armor pieces your heroes will be able to equip!
If your heroes want to replace their equipment, they better earn enough EP first!
Another way to explain it would be to call it an equipment weight script.

The script lets you set the default and custom EP the actor will start with. The same is valid for weapons and pieces of armor.
Actors can also gain more EP by leveling up.

Inside the EkuipPoints module you can find the WEAPON_POINTS, ARMOR_POINTS, ACTOR_POINTS & the ACTOR_LEVEL_POINTS constants that will let you customize the EP earned by actors and the EP costs of their equipment.

You can also change the X & Y coordinates of windows or EP labels at will.

NOTES

Actors have no note boxes. This is why you need to depend on the ACTOR_POINTS & ACTOR_LEVEL_POINTS constants to set their EP accordingly.
To open the equipment window in battle, during the actor's command phase, press the RM's X button. Normally, it's linked to your A key on the keyboard.

Introduction

Limit the type of weapons or armor pieces your heroes will be able to equip!
If your heroes want to replace their equipment, they better earn enough EP first!
Another way to explain it would be to call it an equipment weight script.

The script lets you set the default and custom EP the actor will start with. The same is valid for weapons and pieces of armor.
Actors can also gain more EP by leveling up.

Inside the EkuipPoints module you can find the WEAPON_POINTS, ARMOR_POINTS, ACTOR_POINTS & the ACTOR_LEVEL_POINTS constants that will let you customize the EP earned by actors and the EP costs of their equipment.

You can also change the X & Y coordinates of windows or EP labels at will.

NOTES

Actors have no note boxes. This is why you need to depend on the ACTOR_POINTS & ACTOR_LEVEL_POINTS constants to set their EP accordingly.
To open the equipment window in battle, during the actor's command phase, press the RM's X button. Normally, it's linked to your A key on the keyboard.

for VX ACE

by Kyonides

Introduction

Scripts like GOBJ try to catch weird stuff the RM engine does when creating visual objects or disposing of them, but I think it's a terrible approach because they simply ignore the bugs already contained in the default scripts.

Yes, I know that VX ACE includes 2 bug fixes by default nowadays. Still, they're not all inclusive at all. There's one potential issue that has been ignored for quite a long time: the disposal of a Viewport object BEFORE its children have been disposed. Those children objects include Sprites and Windows. A perfect example of this is the Scene_File class, the parent class of Scene_Save and Scene_Load.

In the default script you can find the terminate method that says:

Code:
  def terminate
    super
    @savefile_viewport.dispose
    @savefile_windows.each {|window| window.dispose }
  end

That means that the Scene_File class and its children classes are disposing of the Viewport right before it takes care of the Savefile windows. A bad choice indeed. It should always followed the opposite order.

Get rid of:

  1. The children objects first
  2. Then dispose of the parent object safely.

How can you fix it?

Well, the solution is QUITE SIMPLE: just invert the order in which those objects get disposed of, and that's it. So you'd only need to paste the following code in the bug fix section of the Script Editor and you'll be fine:

Code:
# * Scene_File FIX * #

class Scene_File
  def terminate
    super
    @savefile_windows.each {|window| window.dispose }
    @savefile_viewport.dispose
  end
end

Why is this fix relatively important for you as a game developer?

It might not look impressive or critical at all, yet, it's highly convenient to prevent the engine from trying to do stuff in the incorrect / not-so-logical order in the first place. Debugger scripts like GOBJ will try to catch all those windows or their custom contents as critical objects that need to be notified otherwise.

by Kyonides

Introduction

The script allows you to create some sort of tutorial menu with lots of options using a GUI similar to my other script FancyChoices VX.
As the Gamer game developer you can define what texts and pictures you will display on screen. You can also play SE if deemed necessary.

Nope, this is NOT a Plug & Play script at all, guys! Confused

If you want to customize it, you will have to edit several CONSTANTS in the KInfoMenu module first.

All texts will be shown on top of the option boxes or on a typical message window. This also means that your typical note tags like \n[1] or \c[2] will work normally. Winking

The pictures will be shown on the center of the screen right when its corresponding text message gets displayed there.

Understanding the Options Feature

There are 3 different levels of options, namely the Main Choices plus the first and second subcategories. Those subcategories depend on Hashes to let you customize its contents.

Option labels are simple to understand, they are just a list of texts:
Code:
SUB_CAT1["Combat"]  = ["Allies", "Enemies", "FF Menu", "Section 4", "Section 5", "Section 6", "Section 7"]

"Combat" is a key that can be found in the Main Choices list:
Code:
MAIN_CHOICES    = ["Combat", "Controls", "Concepts"]

So both subcategories should use keys that already exist on the previous subcategory or the main choices list.

The text hashes sport 3 keys and their respective values. Those keys are :text, :se and :pic and that's it. Winking

You can leave the :pic and :se hashes empty if you need to, but you can add custom pictures or SFX at any given time. Just follow this example:

Code:
SUB_CAT1_TEXTS["Enemies"] = {
  :se => { 1 => "Battle1", 2 => "Battle2" },
  :pic => { 1 => "093-Monster07", 2 => "099-Monster13" }, 
  :text => [
    "You're not given a chance to think twice.",
    "All mobs definitely hate you.",
    "They'll sweep the floor with your death body",
    "while laughing maniacally.",
    "Please don't challenge them unless you know",
    "very well what you're doing.",
    "You've been warned!",
  ] }

So you need to pick a CONSTANT, then call its option key, and make it contain a { Hash }.
The :se and :pic keys use page indexes as their hash keys, but you can skip pages at will.
The :text hash has a very interesting feature that you should know about from the very beginning. If you plan to display less than 4 lines of text on a given Book page, and you expect another page to show up next after pressing the OK button, you will have to add empty Strings "" and a comma , per empty line. And this is mandatory. Angry

A Friendly Reminder

If a key like "Section 4" does not exist either in SUB_CAT1_TEXTS or SUB_CAT2_TEXTS, the script will skip the whole enchilada to prevent it from crashing.

NOTES

The comments include an explanation that claims that calling the custom scene is optional. Happy with a sweat Well, that is only true if you pretend to customize your main menu to include an option to open the KInfoMenu scene. If you are planning to use any NPC as an interface for this tutorial menu, you will have to make that script call at all costs. Laughing

The WINDOW_BACK_OP constant will let you set the message window's back opacity.

I don't care if there are other ways to achieve the same goal. I just wanted to create this special menu, and that's it! Tongue sticking out

#   Not a Plug & Play Script!

# This scriptlet lets you setup a simple tutorial menu.

# NOTES on Message Window's Contents:

# For the message window, empty lines are equally as important as normal ones.
# They are used as fillers, and this matters a lot whenever you're trying to
# display multiple pages on screen. If you ever skip them, you'll soon notice
# that certain lines of text do appear sooner than expected.

That's it! Tongue sticking out]]> KInfoMenu VX
by Kyonides

Introduction

The script allows you to create some sort of tutorial menu with lots of options using a GUI similar to my other script FancyChoices VX.
As the Gamer game developer you can define what texts and pictures you will display on screen. You can also play SE if deemed necessary.

Nope, this is NOT a Plug & Play script at all, guys! Confused

If you want to customize it, you will have to edit several CONSTANTS in the KInfoMenu module first.

All texts will be shown on top of the option boxes or on a typical message window. This also means that your typical note tags like \n[1] or \c[2] will work normally. Winking

The pictures will be shown on the center of the screen right when its corresponding text message gets displayed there.

Understanding the Options Feature

There are 3 different levels of options, namely the Main Choices plus the first and second subcategories. Those subcategories depend on Hashes to let you customize its contents.

Option labels are simple to understand, they are just a list of texts:
Code:
SUB_CAT1["Combat"]  = ["Allies", "Enemies", "FF Menu", "Section 4", "Section 5", "Section 6", "Section 7"]

"Combat" is a key that can be found in the Main Choices list:
Code:
MAIN_CHOICES    = ["Combat", "Controls", "Concepts"]

So both subcategories should use keys that already exist on the previous subcategory or the main choices list.

The text hashes sport 3 keys and their respective values. Those keys are :text, :se and :pic and that's it. Winking

You can leave the :pic and :se hashes empty if you need to, but you can add custom pictures or SFX at any given time. Just follow this example:

Code:
SUB_CAT1_TEXTS["Enemies"] = {
  :se => { 1 => "Battle1", 2 => "Battle2" },
  :pic => { 1 => "093-Monster07", 2 => "099-Monster13" }, 
  :text => [
    "You're not given a chance to think twice.",
    "All mobs definitely hate you.",
    "They'll sweep the floor with your death body",
    "while laughing maniacally.",
    "Please don't challenge them unless you know",
    "very well what you're doing.",
    "You've been warned!",
  ] }

So you need to pick a CONSTANT, then call its option key, and make it contain a { Hash }.
The :se and :pic keys use page indexes as their hash keys, but you can skip pages at will.
The :text hash has a very interesting feature that you should know about from the very beginning. If you plan to display less than 4 lines of text on a given Book page, and you expect another page to show up next after pressing the OK button, you will have to add empty Strings "" and a comma , per empty line. And this is mandatory. Angry

A Friendly Reminder

If a key like "Section 4" does not exist either in SUB_CAT1_TEXTS or SUB_CAT2_TEXTS, the script will skip the whole enchilada to prevent it from crashing.

NOTES

The comments include an explanation that claims that calling the custom scene is optional. Happy with a sweat Well, that is only true if you pretend to customize your main menu to include an option to open the KInfoMenu scene. If you are planning to use any NPC as an interface for this tutorial menu, you will have to make that script call at all costs. Laughing

The WINDOW_BACK_OP constant will let you set the message window's back opacity.

I don't care if there are other ways to achieve the same goal. I just wanted to create this special menu, and that's it! Tongue sticking out

The Script

#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   v1.2.3 - 2025-09-17
#   Not a Plug & Play Script!

# This scriptlet lets you setup a simple tutorial menu.

# NOTES on Message Window's Contents:

# For the message window, empty lines are equally as important as normal ones.
# They are used as fillers, and this matters a lot whenever you're trying to
# display multiple pages on screen. If you ever skip them, you'll soon notice
# that certain lines of text do appear sooner than expected.

# * Optional Script Call * #
