Okay... The Animated Battlers system I've been working on only allows one to use a spritesheet that has a single column of poses. This means that RPGMaker MV's 3-row animated battlers doesn't work with my system, right?
Err.... not SO much. 
I've just made a prototype conversion script that can convert RMMV animated battlers and RM2K3 battlers that are generated as Charas Project into Single-Row battlers that use 3 frames! It's not perfect and it only arranges the poses based on the source's layout. So while a generated RMMV to Minkoff spritesheet might have the Idle/Ready pose in the first row, the second row has RMMV's charge-to-attack pose. And the RM2K3 layout is much more different.
It handles small sheets no problem. But humongous ones that are 4500px across and 3000px down... That can take a minute to convert. Yep, and I have a fast processor. And yep I found a monstrosity that big.
Oh, I might work out a system to rearrange the poses (hopefully). But hey, one can find MORE resources now once this gets running.

Waitwaitwait... WE CAN CONVERT RMMV BATTLERS TO XP BATTLERS NOW?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--

This is a wonderful development.
Keep up the good work, sir.

Good news, guys and gals! I managed to cross compile my mkxpplus project, the fork of the well known(?) mkxp, and it runs on Windows 8.1 already! 
I am uploading the binary files right now! Keep in mind it's window resolution is 800*608 px now so the smallest map cannot be less than 25 tiles wide and 19 tiles high. If you are going to play midi files, you got to download a soundfont sf2 file IIRC. I have already posted one here, perhaps it was in resources or something the like.
MediaFire DOWNLOAD LINK
Mega DOWNLOAD LINK
BoxNet Download Link
soundfont
Edit
I know there are a couple of things that could be changed like removing the console window while playing the game...
By the way, one of the RAR files includes a Ruby script with rb extension. Just go open it with Notepad or Notepad++ or SublimeText since it's just a text file. It contains the scripts that had to be modified to allow you to extend the map tileset to cover the whole window. Other scripts would need to be customized as well...

I found a no longer used 9 years old variable in my game. It's there since the very first version from somewhen in 2009.
I really should clean up...

By the way, Melana, so far I only got 64 bit binary executables and libraries for mkxp for now, but I have already fetched 32 bit libraries that will allow me to compile it for 32 bit systems as well so you don't have to be worried for not being able to test it. It is just a matter of time before I upload more files to the different hosting websites.

I got ya beat, Melana  I've been reviewing software I wrote eleven years ago (2007)! A lot of rewrites needed.
And I'm still going if the Scripts Database is any indication.

I kinda stumbled something similar when testing some stuff in my project. I've been using this script by Wecoc for years. It adds more scope options to both items and skills and is part of his collection that brings features from VX/ACE to XP.
Then I randomly noticed that it causes skills and items that revive more than one actor to not work at all. I assumed that I never tested it to its fullest. Then it turned out that I had actually noticed the error and contacted Wecoc about it years ago. He made a correction that I, for some unfathomable reason, never bothered to test until yesterday. The error's still there.
The script in question.

I now have some animated battlers developed! Doing major work on the battle system at the moment, there are so many problems! Reducing and streamlining code, restructuring everything, it'll probably leave my project unplayable for the next month or two. Sometimes I worry if I've coded myself into oblivion and have to roll back to an earlier version. Oh well, it will get fixed/improved/mastered eventually.
![[Image: Battle01.png]](https://i.postimg.cc/tTbzpCSM/Battle01.png)
^Screenshot already out of date BTW. I've fixed the animation Z problem which stands out in this picture.
Prototype builds are in the spirit of Cloud and the gang, but they're only temporary placeholders until I get my original characters more fleshed out. Now I've got whole sheets of an original battle templates (child, woman, man, man (muscle), man (fat)) and pieces of hair, clothing, shoes, accessories, etc I've made. Still making more battle poses, assumed end goal would be sheets tailored to each weapon type.
Also working on battler "AI" (if you want to call it that.)
Some scripted enemies...

The oldschool "Action List" style enemies are still functional for when I want to use it, but I'll be doing these for tricky enemies and most of the more difficult boss fights. I'm amazed at how much there is to define just for a simple fly-by random encounter, but bosses will be a lot more fun to design and fight from now on!
I like to write enemy routine scripts, it gives for a lot of cunning and calculating on part of the acting enemy. As such, a Ghost will iterate through the actor with the most skills to the actor with the least skills and determine if they need to inflict "Silence" or not, prioritizing the one with the most potential skills whom doesn't already have "Silence". The physical attackers have to deal with Ghosts vanishing all the time so either way it makes for an annoying to potentially difficult fight depending on your level and patience.

I'll probably be doing more non-original characters during the expansion process of the animated battler template I've been creating. It's easier to beta animations when you're designing familiar heroes/villians than if you were to worry about creating a new character from scratch too. Thanks to Tifa, my females have so much more actions than the males so the boys will have to eventually catch up. Heck, Cloud doesn't even have a battler designed for him yet - not that it's on my high priorities list - but I might get to him soon just because it bugs me.
My internet connection sucks and I can't get IRC to work, plus I work a lot, so I don't know how much I'll be around after the holidays. Still, I'll try to drop in once in awhile just so people know I'm alive lol.

Taking a break from spriting Akali, I am now back to a leisurely job of coding.
 Yeah, like anything I code is something simple. So let's see what I have working now:
- Conversion of txt files into rxdata for compressed/encrypted projects? CHECK
- variations on layouts based on designed window dimensions and margins? CHECK
- Three basic styles: 1-page viewing, 2-page viewing, scrolls? CHECK
- Page turning and scrolling correctly worked out? CHECK
- Multiple font styles (italics, bold, shadow, outline)? * CHECK
- Font color styles: RMXP default codes and custom Hex codes? CHECK
- Actual rendered graphics importing with text? CHECK
- Functional Tab system? CHECK
- Functional forced page-break system? INCOMPLETE
- Up to fourty different page numbering styles? CHECK
- One-time reading grants: Able to learn/remove spells? CHECK
- One-time reading grants: Able to gain/lose stat or health bonuses? CHECK
- Able to include more one-time bonuses/penalties via script? CHECK
- Script name chosen? CHECK
- Demo created? INCOMPLETE
Well, there's gonna be a library, so I need some cannon-fodder for this demo.
