■ Support ╒══════════════════════════╛
While I'm flattered and I'm glad that people have been sharing and
asking support for scripts in other RPG Maker communities, I would
like to ask that you please avoid posting my scripts outside of where
I frequent because it would make finding support and fixing bugs
difficult for both of you and me.

If you're ever looking for support, I can be reached at the following:

pm me : estriole

also support to compatibility with VisuStella is not possible.
because their code is obfuscated thus cannot be read by human.
if there's incompatibility... please ask VisuStella Team.
