VCM_BattleMainMenu

Introduction

No longer supported by the author. This plugin adds a Command that allows the player to open the Main Menu mid-battle. Commands are configurable. Does not affect Main Menu out of battle. This may open several possibilities to the player in a battle, such as:

• Using Items and Skills without spending a turn (provided their respective 'Occasion' is 'Always' or 'Menu Screen')
• Changing Equipment mid-battle
• Seeing the Status of Party Members 
• Switching a battling Party Member for another outside of the battle (impossible when battle-testing)
• Changing Options Settings
• Saving game mid-battle(requires VCM_BattleSave)
• Going to Title Screen from the battle

All those features may be removed with parameters.

Version -> 1.02

This plugin was tested only on RPG Maker MV Version 1.6.2. I cannot guarantee it works on lower versions.
