Scripts
These are perhaps the best way to add or change the functionality of your game. If you decide to cut your teeth on
Ruby and its RGSS implementation within RMVXA, looking at other people's work is probably the best way to begin.
Seeing what others before you have done is a great way to discover exactly what is and isn't possible within RMVXA.

Tsukihime's Change Currency Script ( www.rpgmakervxace.net/topic/9777-change-
currency/ ) : Remember, back in Chapter 7, when I mentioned the graphical quirk involving
currencies? You can use this script to fix that. Just use script calls, as explained in the
comments section of the script, to switch from your default currency (G) to any other
currency. Note, however, that this only changes the currency symbol.
Galv's Scripts ( http://galvs-scripts.com/ ): Galv is but one of many skilled scripters
within the RMVXA community. As of the time of writing, he has more than 50 scripts on his
site, covering a variety of things you might need for your own game.
