 ACBS - Atoa Custom Battle System 3.2
@Rusty
Well i was going to state this once i post the update.

When the update is finnished, i will be taking request, but it will have some conditions.

For something "general" i would do it for free, but it would be added as an add-on and everyone would use.
But for something exclusive, or not so funciotinal, it would be necessary an fee ($$ or 'talent swap', mainly spriting or audio works).

Once i relase the update, i will post everything about it.

That's good news Atoa, okay then, i will wait until you release the update.

I have a few questions about this:

One: Is there a way to change the CTB list into pictures? And a way to change it so that the pictures for monster show certain pictures based on a 'type' of monster.

Think like this;
Phoenix > Bird > Picture: Bird
Zombie > Undead > Picture: Undead
Boss > Boss > Picture: Boss
etc....

You can make it so there is a tag in the enemies name or something.

Two: Is there a way to make this script work with the CTB?
Content Hidden
When the battle is over the CTB/ATB list/Bar is still on the screen at the end... over the Battle Status. Just so you know I have editted this script to work with my EXP modification script, so it might not work as is on a new project.

Content Hidden
This the EXP script if needed.... Should work just fine as is...




Thanks in advance

Everything you need to know about the CTB display:
Code:
# Order show style
  Ctb_Order_Style = 0
  # 0 = Vertical Window with the battlers names, if an character start to cast
  #     an skill, the skill name will be shown in the window too
  # 1 = Vertical Window with images that represents each battler
  # 2 = Horizontal Window with images that represents each battler
  # 3 = No exhibition

  # Name of the image file shown if an battler do not have an image
  # when 'Ctb_Order_Style' equal 1 or 2.
  # The dimensions of the window are adjusted according to the dimension of
  # this image. It must be on the 'Faces' folder
  Defatult_Ctb_Img = 'default_ctb_turn'

  # File name extensions for the order images
  Ctb_Img_Ext = '_ctb_turn'
  
  # If 'Ctb_Order_Style' equal 1 or 2, you will need the images for the battlers
  # they must be placed on the Faces folder and must have the name equal the
  # battler graphis file name + Ctb_Img_Ext.
  # E.g.: if the battler file name is '001-Fighter01' and Ctb_Img_Ext = '_ctb_turn'
  #  the order image must be named '001-Fighter01_ctb_turn'
  #
  # Optitional Indicators:
  # There's some optional graphics that can be added to show the battler condition.
  # These images are shown *above* the battler turn indicator
  #
  # There's 4 default graphics, plus the ones for the status effects.
  # The default files are:
  # 'Active' + Ctb_Img_Ext = graphic that shows the active battler.
  # 'Cast' + Ctb_Img_Ext = graphic that shows battlers casting skills.
  # 'Conf' + Ctb_Img_Ext = graphic that shows "confused" battlers. (with restritions 2 and 3)
  # 'Stop' + Ctb_Img_Ext = graphic that shows "paralized" battlers (with restriction 4)
  #
  # You can also make images for the status effects, the file name must be
  # 'State Name' + Ctb_Img_Ext.
  # Ex.: if the state name is 'Venom' and Ctb_Img_Ext = '_ctb_turn'
  #  the file name must be 'Venom_ctb_turn'
  #
  # Remember that these images are optional, so theres no problem in not using them.
  
  # Shows battler indicator more than one on the action list if they're
  # going to act more than one time on the set interval?
  Ctb_Show_Duplicates = true
  
  # Tipe of "slide" of the turn images
  Ctb_Graphic_Slide = 0
  # 0 = no slide
  # 1 = enemies and actors slide to the same sides
  # 2 = enemies and actors slide to different sides
  
  # Number of Names/Images shown on the order window
  Show_Ctb_Turn = 10
You can set images for individual enemies, so you can add the image you want to any enemy.

Also the ACBS already have it's own add-on to display the EXP exactly like this (Ultility | Victory Window FF7), why are you using this script instead of the add-on?

Didn't notice that add-on.... it was buried at the bottom. Using it now.

But there is one thing I liked about my EXP Script... I was able to set my own experience points per level. I could make it 10 point to level 2 or 100. I can't do that now. The EXP editor conflicts with your Battle window and Battle result doesn't show the changed exp [the menu either for that matter].

As for the Images thing... yes, I know you can use images for the CTB list. What I want to do is make a GENERIC image for all the enemies of specific type. Like a bird [whether a flying Eagle or waddling Penguin] will always be a bird in the list.

Let's go like this:

You fight an Eagle and Zombie. The list says Bird and Undead.
Next battle you fight a Penguin and two Skeletons. The list says Bird and has two Undead.
Third battle has you fighting an Eagle, Penguin, and the Zombie is the Boss. The list says Boss, Two birds.

This way I can make one generic graphic for all the different types of enemies and I don't have to make numerous images for all the enemy battlers. Not only will it save time, but also space, ultimately file size. Plus I can keep track of the images better this way.

I hope that explains what I'd like to do better.

The main problem of doing something generic: it's hard to do something to attend everyone specific need.
My politic is simple: i won't do something new for something that's is already possible, and isn't hard to do (and for me hard is different from time consuming).
I understand that you want to save some space, but for me, it's more important do make things that isn't yet possible, than add an different way to do something that is already possible to do with a bit of effort. And also even if you use one image for each battler, it wouldn't be higher than 3MBs, since the images are small, you're not going to use 200x200 images for the turn order right? =P

I actually changed that part when I was trying to edit the script myself, but it didn't do what I was hoping it would. I actually just use my battle report and for some reason the problem of the CTB not disappearing fixed itself. Now when I use images as backgrounds the images don't disappear, but CTB one does... weird?

About the other thing... I just thought I'd try. It's not that I'm adverse to work I was just trying to make things easier. No big deal. But is there a way to make it so at least when the monster is a boss you can label him as such in CTB?

Something like a Zombie is named Boss in the CTB, but still named Zombie when you select him for attack... or something like that.

Maybe now I can suggest something... A difficulty system where the monsters grow with hero's? You set the min and max and the monster grows each level the hero gains until the hero reaches the max level the monster can have.

What do you say? Or is there something similar already there?

This is an annoying little error I get whenever I accidentally hit the Shift Key on my computer while in the middle of a battle?

This is the line: "@active_battler.ctb_update(@active_battler.current_cost)"

It's annoying since I accidentally hit that key once every few battles. I can only imagine what would happen if some else was playing and didn't save before they did this.

Any ideas?



OH YEAH!!! I fixed the problem I was having about the background images not disposing... I had to comment a few lines out of your scripts, but they dispose like their supposed to now.

Also, thanks to you're script and me looking through it I was able to add Image Backgrounds to other scripts that didn't have it before.

So I have to definitely thank you for that. Thank you.

I'm posting again since know one will know I posted if I just edit my last post and it'll go unnoticed...

I fixed the "Shift Button" bug, but it required removing a whole section of the CTB script. I didn't really see a point in the section anyway since it basically went back the last person that did an action... Not really applicable in CTB.

Also if you 'escape' when the CTB is set to show words not faces then you'll get an argument error.

-----------------------------

I have also been using some of the other scripts you have there and I have found at least on that seems to not work at all: Skill: Drain.

I followed the instructions, but using the skill does nothing but damage the enemy. Normal skill move... Also, I was wondering if you can get this to work so that enemies can use it also. I have a few strategies I would like to try... Basically when an enemy runs out of SP [or runs low] it'll use Drain to replenish their SP so they can continue the battle.

-------------------------------------------

If I find more bugs should I just post them or try to fix them myself? Mind you my script knowledge is lacking a lot and I usually just fumble through until it starts working. So the scripts might turn into something unrecognizable when I'm done.

-------------------------------------------

I'm editing my post since I'm sure people are getting tired of me posting replies.... Here goes: Another bug, but the is with the INdividual Battle Commands script. There is an option to put a background on the Commands, but what is it supposed to do? Whenever I put the background there it just stay in the corner and never moves. Is that what it's supposed to do? I thought it was supposed to act like the background of the window and follow the Command Window around, wherever it goes. It doesn't do that.

I managed to get a background on the name Window above the Command Window but for some reason the same technique doesn't work for the Command Window... It's a little frustrating and I think I'll sleep on it.

I see there are options for the Items Window and Skills Window as well, but I think I'll get the Command Window BG to work first and then see if I have to adjust those as well.

I also think I can use the same tech I used on the name window for the Help window... Completing the full picture battle screen. Yay me!
