KBattleFront VX

Version 0.6.0

by Kyonides

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

Here you can take a look at its default settings.

#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   v0.5.3 - 2023-06-06

# This script sought to implement some of the features I have found in other
# EarthBound Battle Systems but not anymore. Now it is just an old fashion
# Front View Battle System with battlers visible on screen.

The Bound Battle System Has Been Updated!

And I've come back to offer you a screenshot of how it actually works.

 OK, it's crystal clear that they weren't going through their best moment, but they were able to run away!
Well, at least they tried once.
Even so, you gotta be  courageous enough as to turn your back on the   enemy in order to escape from such a nefarious predicament.

Anyway, there's another screenshot on the main post that shows you how it looks like when they make a stand to     fight the   enemy at all costs!

Choose Your EarthBound Foe Wisely!

Now you can also watch the current target sport a white flash and a sprite telling us its evil name!

Don't worry pals! You won't ever pick the wrong target.
Unless you ignore that your foe is more powerful than expected.  Oops!

I've also included a link to a working demo!
You got 2 options, a lightweight demo or another one with the RTP included.
