Version 1.2
This menu system started from scratch, and I got carried away. It was a menu system for a game being developed by my Dev team, Founding Productions, however we halted Zephyr, so I give you Zephyr Menu System, ZMS for short.
It uses a category system, where you put commands into categories, and these categories are drop-down inside the menu.

>> Category system
>> Drop Down effect
>> phase system
>> swap actor positions within party
>> switch activated commands within the menu
>> customizable background(basically can be animated, in a way)
>> any event with <menu_event> will run in the menu, thus allowing tutorials to be created
>> more, just try the demo

Code:
=beginNOTICE: Only the main menu is complete. I'm not sure if I'll give the otherscenes a makeover yet.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GRAPHICAL ASPECTS----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You need to have these images in the designated folders:Graphics/Menu/CommandInfoBackgroundTextureHPMP_BaseHP_BarMP_BarAny of the above can be in the scene's respective folder within Graphics/Menu,and if present in the subfolder, will be used in that scene instead ofthe default.Graphics/Profiles/Every actor that is seen within the menu needs to have aprofile(portrait) picture.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------USER ASPECTS----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are several commands you can use within an event to automate the menu,and create a tutorial.For an event to function within the menu, a comment<menu_event>must be on the event's page. To halt an event from processing in the menu, justsetup a new page without the comment and turn a self switch on like you normallywould.Now, there are several script calls you can perform within the menu, from yourevent. Unless designated, all commands will begin with $scene.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.auto_back--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Depending on the phase of the menu, this will either:--return to subcommand selection--return to category selection--return scene to map--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.auto_main_cmd--------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you are choosing a category:This autoselects the category that is currently selected,and opens its subcommands.Otherwise this does nothing.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.auto_actor_command--------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you are choosing a category's subcommands:This autoselects the subcommand that is currently selected,and starts actor selection.Otherwise this does nothing.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.set_main_index(index)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This only works if you are selecting a category.This selects a specific category, depicted by index.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.main_cmd_up OR $scene.main_cmd_down--------------------------------------------------------------------------------These only work if you are selecting a category.These move the selection up and down within categories.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.set_sub_cmd(index)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This only works if you are selecting a subcommand from a category.This selects a subcommand designated by index.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.set_actor_index(index)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This only works if you are selecting an actor.This selects an actor designated by index.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$scene.return_scene--------------------------------------------------------------------------------This returns the player to the map.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------=endNote: This is exclusive to forums.rpgmakerweb.com.

If you have any questions and such, do ask. This system is not a beginner's tool. :3
