Try using the Show Picture event command, setting the Y value to 340.

There ^
Or is the spacer graphic causing you problems?

If it is then just wait till the next version, because it's got a lot of scripts that i'm just gonna release the Scripts.rxdata

Just a small hint on what is included in the next version.
I'm going to implementing 4 different menus that you'll be able to choose from.
In the next release, because i want it out pretty quickly to show that progress is coming along, only one menu will be available to be used.

Well hopefully in the next release i'll make a script version of what you want, but for now, i'll just tell you how.

First of all, create the background with Show.picture("filename")
Then, do a show picture event command with a picture, and set the X and Y coordinates.
Remember, the Y coordinate MUST be more than 340 for it to appear on the bottom screen.
And just set the picture number to 2.

Any pictures with a higher number than that will appear on top of it, so it's ideal for buttons etc.

Your other copy of essentials must be a newer one right?
That'd be why, i'm using the newest version :)

As for V2 of the script, it's coming along, but i'm pushing the release of it over to tommorow unless i get this menu script finished tonight.

Basically, this'll fix the errors that some of you were getting.
Also i've done away with the Show.Picture thingy as it wasnt really needed.
Just replace your old script with this one.

To display pictures, just use the show picture event command.

As this was only meant to be a simple release of my script as i lost the main one, there won't be any major updates for a while.
So for the moment, you'll have to use this.

If anyone wants a mouse input module i've edited, just PM me :)
