Introduction

This is an Animated Front View & Side View Battle System!

After reading a couple of threads where people complained about fellow scripter's battle system, I decided that I could give it a chance. The GUI is almost done based on my first impression of those scripts' interface.

1. Status window becomes pretty much static, it doesn't move at all, and does update the data in a timely fashion.
   It includes actors' faces, names and gauges.
   
2. New actor menu on the top of the screen.
   It uses icons and a label to tell you what's the command currently in display. Any actor can trigger the escape feature, but it might abort the battle at once. Please don't abuse of that poor feature! :P
   

The script is almost Plug n Play, except for the 2 Constants I've included there. They're very simple to handle.

Just order the commands the way you like it and pick their icon indexes and that's it, guys! :D
