I've created many templates and samples to help some modders with their problem or requests 😎 . However, I realized that I've posted them in help threads making it hard for even me to recall which thread I posted which demo 😅.

@Bloodbane, please move these to forum resources and avoid using third party uploads. You can put them all into one resource entry with multiple downloads if you want.
 
I know Damon, I'm doing that right now.

WalkShoot isn't uploaded yet cause I'm working on a newer version. There's also another template module to be uploaded ;)

Thanks @Bloodbane, these will be super helpful to creators. I just gave them all an Exhibition Prefix for easy searching. I also combined the vs. 2 and vs. 3 into one resource page with both modules available for download since they are essentially the same thing.

I have plan to update one of the templates but that will have to wait. However, I've made another template called The House whose link could be found in first post above.
 
I've replaced link to LIFT2M with Boss Select demo in first post above. The latter has lock/unlock scripts to lock/unlock a stage after completing it.
 
Love the new boss select demo. I found something strange while playing it. When you finish any boss battle in Unlock mode depending on how many bosses you defeat, you quit that game mode and go to Lock mode, only to find out the same boss(es) you defeated from Unlock Mode, turning black, which means you already defeated it from there. But for the last bosses (Rugal and Geese), I think they are okay since they require you to defeat 10 bosses. If you defeat one of the last two bosses in Unlock mode, it resets back to all bosses active in Lock mode. So, I thought I would let you know about what I encountered.

Thanks for the repot maxman, I've just checked 🔎 and I realized that I forgot to include one important file 😅.

I could upload fixed version of Boss Select but I'm going to wait until I have more new features to add in 😎.
 
That spoiler will have to wait longer but Boss Select module has been updated! It has more bosses, alternate way of locking just to name a few. The link is in first post above.
 
Alright, as mentioned before, I'm updating The House with new features. The update was complete and v2 has been uploaded here. Link in first post above.

For those wondering about the spoiled screenshot, it's a screenshot of typing console for password locked levels. If you want to try the console yourself, download The House v2 and find door with typing console to access one. Don't forget to get key to get there first.
 
Hey @Bloodbane I have a question about the 5. Map ++++

I want certain characters to be locked in my game, until the last level of episode 1 is complete.
So I guess the mechanics would be the same as with this demo function:
"Paladin is locked in map mode, complete Forest 3 level to unlock him (Trophy)"

But in my particular game, I want the background to change as well as the characters being unlocked.

I suppose this is possible by modifying the scripts? 😅

Yep, the lock/unlock mechanic would be the same as Paladin's.

Hmmm... the simplest idea I have is mind right now is to place sprite to overlap the background when respective character is unlocked.
