Yes i tried that, but you can't edit it exactly, you can only pick left, right, or center, and i want the text in the upper left corner of the boxes, it doesn't seem like i can change the x and y of the text only. the only way i can precisely move the numbers would be if i move the entire box the number is in, but the number will still be in the same place within the box. also pictures only show up UNDER the choice boxes, so there would be a black square on top of the images, unless of course i made them transparent, but would the highlight effect still work if i did that? 
I think would have to have the numbers be a part of the lower image as well because if i hid the dim black box and moved the text up, the highlight box would move up as well and wouldn't fit over the image underneath anymore. i was hoping there was a way to move ONLY the text within the box without the limits of the 3 placement presets. 

This is what the console section says when i directly interact with priscilla and select an option to spawn stuff, seems there's a specific error in regards to the source map?  but i honestly have no idea what that means or how to fix it. Sorry for the delay and dumbness, i'm just getting over covid and my brain is still soup lol

is it possible to shift the position of the day's number and the icon shown? I'd prefer it to have the icon bottom right of the square, and number text upper left, instead of both centered left. I was looking through all the settings and did find the UI y position, but that controls both, and also doesn't have an " upper left " just " left, right, or center "
Is it possible for me to change the choices to have no text and just show a picture for the number on top instead so i can place them exactly how i want? or is that not practical? lol
I'm also trying to figure out how to move the entire UI/choices downwards, i have my resolution at 1920x1080 and its way at the top. i got it all moved horizontally but i can't seem to get it to move vertically. 


Edit, i made due with what i could work with and made my own custom backdrops for the calendar so they fit the choice section properly, however i would still like to know if there is a way to show images above choices that you know of, so i can edit the calendar to look more like my own style, and perhaps similar to harvest moon calendars with clearer images that better fit the windows .

Additionally, is there a way to change the " hover " color from blue to custom between pages, or will it use the same image material for ALL UI 'hover' the same throughout my game?
and if possible i'd like to move the " back " button up to the top or even remove its graphic all together from the calendar window,  don't like that its placed in the middle and its kinda ugly, but i don't really want to change it on the entire game



( picture example lol ) 

So, it works fine in your demo map in playtest ( I did manage to fix whatever was causing the time to change to midnight when closing the menu ) but on mine, despite being copied over exactly, and having every variable  and switch reserved and titled correctly, entire maps and common events copied, its EXTREMELY laggy when the menu is opened, occasionally freezes the playtest completely and doesnt let me close the menu or the game. and when i try to switch between the characters, it jumps several spots instead of going up or down just one, and i have no idea what to do about it. 

I thought maybe it was something to do with visustellas core engine because i had the resolution upped and thought maybe that would somehow affect the x and y somewhere or something, but as it turns out i have the same issue with switching between characters even with every single plugin turned off : /

It is an existing game that i'm working on but i don't have very much on it besides the plugins i bought from you and the visustella base pack, most of what i've done has just been making some maps and setting up basic stuff like a shop, some monsters, doors, and one single book menu i made myself, i haven't gotten into any real complicated stuff yet like npc routs and cutscene/events. 

I do also still need help figuring out how to add more people to the list, ( I could easily make it longer with having more resolution to work with, but i'd probably still need a second page and idk how to add that onto your system without messing it all up )  i've tried to figure that out but i can't really do anything until the other issue is fixed and what's already there is actually functional. I've been going back and forth over this for almost two weeks trying to figure out what's wrong but i'm just not experienced enough to know what to look for -3- 
I'm tempted to just start a new project and just copy things over one by one starting with yours and see if something sets it off again..

Would you mind adding me on discord when you have some free time to chat? I sent a friend request a while ago when you suggested i message you there over on youtube ( only because your messages are turned off on discord for people not on your friends list or in a shared server, so i wasn't actually able to message you  )

Ok so i tinkered around with it and i managed to fix the farming system to work on my map, Now i just need to see if there's a way to play with the movement settings so my character turns before they start walking when pressing the arrow keys, its hella annoying trying to hoe the ground when you have to keep backtracking to previous spaces every time you try to move forwards because you walk over the space you want to hoe instead of just facing it xD
 and i'm still having the same problems with the relationship manager not functioning properly, and its got an issue that happens on the demo map so i have no idea what's wrong still, i can't really compare the two files because the main one has the issue lol

Edit: If it helps, i used the " time is flowing " switch and turned it off and on ( like how its set in other events of yours ) and that also set the time to midnight when it turned back on.

Yeah, here you go. sorry if there's something glaringly obvious that says whats wrong on there, i'm new and also dyslexic a random wall of text is near impossible for me to decipher without already knowing what i'm looking for haha 

I did also notice, its now randomly popping up when i run around on that yard map even when i haven't triggered the event. it didn't do that before, and as far as i know, its only happening on that map. i did a comparison just now and the devtool window looks identical with that popup too. it seems to appear when i run over to the right side below those fences on the other side of that bush, first time i noticed it that's where it was, and i just ran over there again, popped up again, and i ran around the map a while in all different directions, it didn't pop up until i went to that exact same spot again


I took a screen shot of the map, that area that's in the white selected square is i think exactly where the pop up triggers, it seems like it doesn't pop up if i already got the pop up from triggering the event, so it only happens once per play test by the looks of it, but it could keep doing  it if i were to leave the map or something i'm not sure


It doesn't do this on your map, but it does it on mine for some reason and i can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it. the only answers i've found online is people saying its the visustella console on boot being turned on but mine is set to false so its not that. it pops up every time i have the event run, either when i talk to Priscilla and trigger it while on the same map ( like how you have it setup on your map ) or when i had it setup to trigger with sleep, it would happen as soon as i entered the map where it was active ( was testing in my own yard for speed )
it never freezes the game or shuts it down, but the devtools window won't stop showing up in my playtests. the only other times i've had this happen was with JS errors if i did something wrong, most of the time if it was that the game wouldn't run at all, but i'm pretty positive i've set it up all accurately? got any ideas?

I also wanted to add, that with the relationship manager, i'm not quite sure how to make it work properly, because i'm not sure what's wrong. i've double checked and every single variable, switch and common event are copied correctly, when i click an arrow key to scroll the list, it jumps to 2 or 3 instead of just 1 at a time, and there's a lag between movements, sometimes it does nothing, and its bugging out, my game keeps freezing if i do it too much. i actually had to task manger force shut down on it because it wouldn't close.
i imagine its something to do with another plugin, but the only ones i have that aren't visustella ( which affects the screen resolution ), is a zoom one, that allows me to adjust how zoomed in my screen is ( because its set to 1920 x 1080 and the character is TINY and too much of the map is visible. ) i have the show pictures plugin, which you also have so that's not the issue, and the " Galv's Layer Graphics MZ " for parallaxing. I tried disabling the 'zoom' and 'Galv's Layer Graphics MZ' plugins, and the issue didn't resolve. so its probably something to do with the screen resolution. the relationship manager window stays small, and is over to the left side with the res at 1920 x 1080, as it should, i'm going to have to recenter it if i figure out what's going on with the tabs. P:
The scrolling between characters in the manager works fine on your map, its only on mine where its doing that. 

It is an existing project, but i've barely done anything in it, mostly just making maps. i wanted to wait to do much of anything involving variables and what not to make sure i didn't use up any since i knew i wanted to get some plugins, and as i said the issue with the time changing to midnight after closing the relationship manager is in the map that came with the plugin bundle, which also copied over to my game lol I'm pretty positive i've already gone through and checked to make sure the variables weren't already being used. i might just make a new file, copy your stuff first THEN the few things i have to make sure there's no crossovers, though i'm pretty sure there are none. being dyslexic makes it difficult for me to go back and forth between existing things and see all the info correctly so might just be easier to start over in a coherent way. wish RPG maker allowed you to " save as " an make a new file from an existing one instead of having to make an entirely new one from scratch every time haha

and its no problem, i don't mind waiting a while if need be, you've got your own stuff to deal with

So i just bought and installed everything for the wave1 bundle, reserved all the switches and variables and all that, but i've run into a bit of a problem and i don't know what the issue is. I tested in the demo and the files in my own game and it seems to only affect my game. When i select the hoe, i A, can't use it, and B, get stuck in a sideways pose and no matter which direction i run i'm stuck in the animation for hoeing, standing sideways ready to use the tool and not able to run. I have the visustella plugin pack ( movement core, engine core, battle core, message core, options core, ect. )  with wsad movements setup. I did send you a friend request on Discord as you suggested on youtube i message you there ( i had to send a request in order to send a message because it doesn't allow me to message you there otherwise and i don't have twitter- Hi this is StarlightBettaGamer btw lol ) but you've probably been busy which is fine. 

Edit: I realized i forgot to move over the animation for Reid with the hoe, and that SORTOF fixed it, it changes the character to ried as soon as you try to use an item like the hoe, and it stays reid lol so i can move around now, ( even tho it changes to reid- i'll obviously be animating the MC with the tools separately to fix this problem ) but also it still doesn't actually hoe the ground, and the hoe animation only shows the how on the ground not the swinging motion? i've obviously missed something somewhere but i thought i got it all xD
do you by chance have the blank base template for the items so i can make my MC clearly? 

I was also wondering if there was a way to easily hide the tools menu when not in use? its a blank box at the start, but as soon as you start cycling through tools you're stuck showing your selected tool all the time and i'd like to have a button hide and bring it back up if possible?? if not, that's fine, i was just wondering if it was possible to do. Do you know of a plugin that allows for MZ to use other keys besides the defaults for " if button is pressed " statements? i'd prefer to not use Q souly for the item selection. arrow keys appear to be locked as a secondary movement option so i can't use the up arrow unless you know of a way to adjust that i'm kind of new lol IF it was possible, i'd prefer to keep wasd keys for movement, and up arrow to bring up tools, down to hide the tools, and left/right arrows to cycle through tools but i'm not sure that's possible or easily achieved for a noob like myself. being dyslexic makes it a huge chore to try and sift through text through the plugins ;3;



Edit: I would also like to add, that in the download map that comes with the bundle, the book that opens the relationship manager for some reason changes the time to 12am when the book is closed, it doesn't just do this on my game it does it on the one i got in the bundle too
