Yanfly Engine Ace Battle Modifications

Hey everyone. I would like to make a few modifications to Yanfly's battle engine for RMVX Ace.

1: I want to remove animations displayed on the party as it is front view. 

2:I was able to remove the faces, but I would like the shrink the window down to cover the empty space. Ideally, it would resemble a dragon quest battle menu.

3:I want to remove the icons displaying the character's actions.

4: I want to disable the left and right clicks switching to another character. I would also like to start off with the party menu so that I can choose to escape.

For disable left right, you could use my little snippet

Install it right below Yanfly's

You can try this :>

Thanks for the suggestion but the Luna engine is too fancy for my goal. I switched to Ramiro's Mother 3 battle system and I'd like to do a few adjustments to it.

1: This will apply to other things but I want to remove the fading effects by having the menu or windows drop in or pop up from the bottom of the screen. In this script, the characters also fade in at the start of battle.

2: I want my characters to face up instead of facing down.
