For my game, I want to make the in game menu have two panes instead of one; the pane on the right can either access the pane on the left or access other menus. Plus I want to place my characters' text box picture, health and MP on the left menu for each party member. What is the best way to approach this and achieve what I want?

If it helps, I want the menu to be similar to final fantasy's menu, where you can see the information of your character while you access other menus from the right pane.

I would say "try using slices", but since we're working on the same project, my plan is to make a before-menu script. We would move the regular menu toward the right of the screen, and have the faces at the left (which I will display, maybe with slices perhaps).

My question, to anyone who wants to answer, I can't find a location for a before-menu script. I found an option for an after-menu script, but the OHRRPGCE wiki states that these options have been built in since voxhumana. Neutral

A wiki article about creating that kind of menu is something we could really do with. In the meantime, read this thread on Slime Salad about it. Of course you can't just show a static slice collection for each menu item; you'll want to modify slices to fill in data like hero HP. (That also deserves a wiki article.)

As for the before-menu script, unless I'm losing my memory that article isn't right, there still isn't any setting for that (wow, that article really needs cleaning up). Use the method described in the "Script Before Menu" section of that article.

As for the "Script Before Menu" section, I'm already on it, and thanks Happy

I'll also brush up on my slices, it's been a while.

(And hopefully if I get this menu working correctly, I might take part in making wiki articles for the above).
