    I am looking for a simple plugin to lock a particular actor to the party. I know Yanfly's Party System plugin can do this but I am running Moghunters main menu plugin and it conflicts with it. Are there any other plugins that might accomplish this?

    What do you mean by "lock"?
    The player can only remove an actor from the party if you as the developer provide a method for removing the actor (either by event or by plugin). Otherwise the actor stays in the party permanently.

    The only thing a player can do in the engine is reordering the party, and that can be disabled by disabling the formation screen in an event at game start.

    And to add to what Andar said you can set up an event for party formation and set up a conditional branch to check if a certain actor is in the party or not. If they aren't you can kick them back to the formation screen until they do so. If you want to actually lock them into the party then yeah you'll need a plug-in for that.

    Do you mean they are in fixed positions like first member or third member, that sort of thing? That's what I naturally think of by "locked". If so, you could try removing the formation feature and add them in in the position you want them to appear in battle. If you have more than four, or that's not enough for you for a different reason, then yes you'd probably need a plugin.

    More or less, I just want to lock a certain actor into position 1-4 so they cannot be placed in reserve formation. How do you add actors to certain positions, a plugin command?

    By default each actor added goes into the next position.

    So if you begin with actor 1 and actor 2 and you add them in that order, that's the order they'll appear.

    If later you get actor 3 and then after that you want actor 3 to go after actor 1 and before actor 2, simple remove actor 2 add actor 3 and then readd actor 2.

    Disable the formation command through System > Menu Command > Untick Formation, and that will work for a party up to 4.

    If you have a larger party and use a plugin like Yanfly's Party System to resize the party in battle from 4 to 5, it would still work fine with 4 party members in those positioned being locked, as long as you don't allow party switching.
