How do I increase the battle window size?

[Regrettucini]

I want to be able to see more than 4 options at once in a battle.

This will need a plugin.

1. The battle screen has several windows with a maximum of 4 options displayed at a time:
   
   • Party command (Fight/Run)
     
   • Actor command (Attack, Defend, Skill, etc)
     
   • Party status (Name, HP, MP, etc)
   Which one(s) do you want to resize?
   
   
2. Are you currently using any plugins? If so, which ones?

I want to make more than 4 options visible at once.

I'm using the Yanfly Core Engine Plugin, the Yanfly Core Message plugin, and a simple plugin that puts actors on the left and mirrors their sprites.

This code makes all 3 of the windows I mentioned, including the "select enemy target" window, show 5 rows instead of 4:

Window_PartyCommand.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() { return 5; };
Window_ActorCommand.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() { return 5; };
Window_BattleStatus.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() { return 5; };
Window_BattleEnemy.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() { return 5; };

It is designed for use with the default battle system. You can use it like this:

1. Copy + paste the code into a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
   
2. File > Save As:
   
   • File Type: All Files
     
   • Filename: whatever.js
   (This works because .js files are plaintext.)
   
3. Import that file as a plugin.
   
4. Save your project to apply Plugin Manager changes.
   
5. Test!

Replace 5 with whatever number you like~
