Here can find out information about releases made by me, my friends, or in a collaborative effort! Please keep in mind that this site may not be updated as often as I like.
Please remember to read the FAQ before asking questions. It covers a lot of ground but not all. If you do have a question that is not covered in the FAQ, do not hesitate to ask.

If you are wondering, BS does not stand for what you may think. Me and my friend just happen to have first names that begin with a "B" and a "S", and those are also my initials.
Again, you may recall that in RPG Maker 2003 (RM2K3), you can assign individual commands to each actor, and yet, for some reason, Enterbrain omitted that in RMXP?
Well fear not! I have written up a really simple, easy to use, and easy to customize individual battle command window for each actor based on that actor's id number.

# ¦ Module SS36_Battle_Commands
#=============================================
# Initializes all Special battle commands.
#
# Instructions:
#
# Pretty simple really. Just change the Commandx to what string you want it
# to be. Remember this refers to the actor id, not his or her name.
#
#=============================================
module SS36_Battle_Commands
# Constants
Command1 = "Swordplay" # For actor id 1 (Arshes for default)
Command2 = "Lancer" # For actor id 2 (Basil for default)
Command3 = "Bruthe" # For actor id 3 (Sirius for default)
Command4 = "Thievery" # For actor id 4 (Dorothy for default)
Command5 = "Archery" # For actor id 5 (Estelle for default)
Command6 = "Gun Play" # For actor id 6 (Felix for default)
Command7 = "White Magic" # For actor id 7 (Gloria for default)
Command8 = "Black Magic" # For actor id 8 (Hilda for default)
# Add more here if necessary be placing Commandx = "+special+" where x = actor id
# and +special+ is the name of the special command.

You may recall that in RPG Maker XP (RMXP), you can only save up to four individual save files, where as in previous RPG Maker installments (2K and 2K3), you can save up to 99. Well, I have modified the default script to allow you, the user, to specify how many save files you want your game to be able to save! And guess what? It's customizable!
For some strange reason, the script posted in the following spoiler does not want to format correctly. The one posted on CreationAsylum is formatted correctly.

#==============================================
# Custom Save System (CSS)
#---------------------------------------------
# Created By: StupidStormy36
# Version ID: 1.01
# Started on: 04/10/08 @ 8:36 pm EST
# Finished on: 04/10/08 @ 11:24 pm EST #==============================================
# This script allows you to have as many save
# files as necessary for your game. Simply find
# GAME_SAVES and change the value to your liking.
#
# This overwrites the Scene_File class and the
# Window_SaveFile class.
# This will overwrite any other custom save menus.
#
# The cursor image is now optional. If you are
# using a cursor image, the image must be name
# "cursor.png".
#
# If there are any suggestions to make this script
# cleaner and more efficient, please let me know.
#
# If there are any errors, let me know that too!
#
# Please credit me for this.
#
#---------------------------
# Small update!
#
# You can now choose to show the cursor image or
# not. You do not need the cursor image any more!
# If you are using a cursor image, the image must
# be name "cursor.png".
#
# The last file index feature is now supported.
#
# Included a new main method for Scene Title to
# allow the Title Screen to scan for all files
# necessary. This overwrites any previous main
# methods for Scene Title.
#
# You can now change the name of the cursor image.
#
#==============================================
# Initializes save game number.
# You only have to edit this and the rest
# handles itself.
# Sets the number of save files.

Many of you may know me as stupidstormy36 on CreationAsylum.net. I thought I'd start this up as well.
SO3 CMS Main Menu ver 1.7.
Yes, both versions have been up for a little while now, and things are moving steadily foward for a next release. Some more bugs have been worked out and some are still being worked out. If you come across any errors or bugs, please, let me know.
SO3 CMS Main Menu ver 2.4.
Both versions are available for download and are completely available for editing. That's right! You may edit the database, maps, and even the script itself! You will need the legal version of RPG Maker XP (RMXP) and the Standard RTP to run it. To run the game, you need the RGSS104.dll and the Standard RTP, which all comes standard with the installation of RMXP. RMXP is available to get and has a free 30 day trial period. RMXP costs $20 USD (the last I know) to purchase a license. You can download RMXP here.
The links to download the versions are as follows:
