CTB - A Final Fantasy X-like Battle System, Version 3.2

[Charlie Fleed]

Reaction Picture: the window_Reaction class, in "CTB by Charlie - Windows", can be easily modified in order to display a picture instead of text. Put a picture called "Reaction" in the Pictures folder and use this:

Content Hidden

Code:

class Window_Reaction < Window_Base
  attr_accessor :actor
  # ------------------------
  def initialize(a)
    super(180, 220, 280, 64)
    self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
    self.back_opacity = 200
    self.z = 201
    self.opacity = 0
    self.contents.font.size = Font.default_size+4
    reaction_bitmap=RPG::Cache.picture("reaction")
    self.contents.stretch_blt(self.contents.rect,reaction_bitmap,reaction_bitmap.rect)
    self.visible = false
  end

  def refresh
  end
end

Combined Attacks: standing the limitations that DerVVulfman explained, I'm not aware of any script compatible with this BS.

ATB and Grandia modes: the battle system's behavior remains the same, i.e. the one of a CTB, only turns are displayed in a different manner. What makes a BS a true ATB is time flowing when you chose your actions (i.e. enemies can attack, other actors can do something as well and so on), this is not the case.

@Cinnamon: a screen please

@Omnistrife
1) if you changed the code, the answer is negative, but if you only changed the configuration you'll notice that I mainly add stuff and keep the already present config options the same. In the second case you shouldn't have too many troubles comparing the old and new configs and importing all your settings.
2) sorry, no idea

@DaToti
my policy for these kinds of requests is to provide support only for projects in advanced state of development. If you have one, please give me some info about it.

can anyone help me i want to know how i can make animated battlers pls help me

[Charlie Fleed]

What do you mean with "make animated battlers"? Are you asking how to draw them, how to assembly them from ripped sprites? Please be more specific.
Oh, btw, this is a thread about the battle system...

Hi Charlie.

Looks like there's a problem with the "wait" event command when used in battle. It works great for everything I tried, but when you ask rmxp to change your actors HP, it just doesn't show the HP changed. Well, it does, but really a long time after you actually asked it. So, when you use the "Abort battle" in the end of this event, you just don't have the time to see your HP changing. My guess is that there is something with the animated bars that screw with this change HP command, but I can't be sure.

There's no scripting involved in setting up animated battlers, usually you just need to know how many rows and columns there are in the spritesheet, and set the proper arrays with those values. The guide explains it all (not the ctb's one, the anim battlers' one), and you can always ask for help in this thread.
Come on, let's see this spritesheet.
