GTBS - v1.5.2 (A FFT styled tactical battle system) updated 5/30/2012

[GubiD]

GubiD's Tactical Battle System
Version: 1.5.1.4
By: GubiD

Introduction
This is a Tactical RPG based battle system that most resembles Final Fantasy Tactics. Updated rather regularly and the most powerful TBS available.

Features

• Move/Attack in any order
  
• Counter Attacks
  
• Dual Battle System (Allows this to work separately from the default battle system so that you can use more than one!)
  
• Fancy Status
  
• Unique Summon System
  
• Extremely Complex AI System (better than in any other available tbs system, currently)
  
• Chain Lightning Effects
  
• Multislot & Enhanced Weapon Support
  
• Isometric Support
  
• Complex or Easy Animated Battlers (new to 1.5 allows way more customization to define number of poses, frames and even index flow)
  
• Active/Team based modes
  
• XP/VX Compatible
  
• SDK Compatible (but it is not required)

#==============================================================================
# Importing the GTBS to your own game - Checklist
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Follow these four steps to import all of the necessary components of this
# system to your own project. Open the GTBS Demo and press F11 to open the
# Script editor then follow the instructions below.
#
# 1) Copy ALL (below the SDK) scripts from the demo except those that are marked
# as optional, unless you want to, in the order in which they are shown.
#
# 2) Copy the Graphics Folder from the demo to your project to ensure you have
# all the require images in your project.
#
# 3) Make the following additions/modifications to your project:
#
# -Look for this section in GTBS_Weapon/Skill:
# In order to configure your weapons accordingly you must update their information.
# There are many options to play with in here for setup, play around with each option
# to see what it does, but please ensure you make a backup of your scripts.rxdata before
# you start chaning things!
#
# -Create a common event for Victory and Failure sequences for the battle.
# If you do not know how to do this, simply copy the common events from
# the demo. After doing this, look for VIC_COM and FAIL_COM in the
# -Module_GTBS- script, and change those numbers to match the numbers of
# the victory and fail common events. This makes it so you are actually
# capable of winning and losing, like in the demo.
#
# -Under any of the methods (def_NAMEHERE) in GTBS_*, you can
# either re-identify or remove any of the "when #" lines that change the
# ranges, wait times, and other components found in the demo. Do NOT remove
# the method entirely, and make sure the "case id" and "else" lines still
# exist at all times, or they won't work. Be sure to back up the script
# before attempting to modify anything, just to be safe.
#
# 4) Give credit to me(GubiD), either in-game, and/or in a presentation of your project
# in another place, such as a forum. This is not optional.
#
# 5) Ensure that you erase all previous saved games, as if you continue from them
# you will encounter some errors that will be resolved by starting a new game.
#
# And finally, enjoy. Configure -GTBS_*- to suit your project, and be sure
# to add to it when you make new weapons, skills, or summons.
#==============================================================================

FAQ
Please see the help and troubleshooting section of the script in the demo. Most of the common questions are answered there.
Also please visit http://www.youtube.com/gubid for tutorials and other general how-to questions for the GTBS System.

Compatibility Issues
Most scripts are compatible if placed above the GTBS. If they are incompatible.. then please inform me and a patch MAY be created.

Known Issues
1.5.2 Patches...

TEAM Mode, Counter All sometimes causes 'NoMethod TurnTo for nil:NilClass

This happens because the actor is acting on the enemies turn and the 'next_enemy' method can interrupt the player. To correct this, just comment out the following lines to make it like so..

Code:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Next Enemy - determines what enemy will act next(only used in team mode)
  #-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def next_enemy
    for battler in enemies
      if $game_system.acted.include?(battler)
        next
      else
        if @active_battler == nil
          set_active_battler(battler)
          break
        #elsif @active_battler.is_a?(Game_Actor)
        #  @active_battler = nil
        end
      end
    end
  end

Enemies will cast Wait Skills on themselves rather than targeted Actor

This happens because the cursor position is not set to the skill location prior to saving actor information for the wait skill. You can correct it with the following change to this line:
#OLD code

Code:

if occupied_by?(action.position[0], action.position[1]) == nil
            pos = action.position
            target = nil
          else
            pos = []
            t = occupied_by?(@cursor.x, @cursor.y)  #THIS IS THE BAD LINE
            offset_x = @cursor.x-t.x
            offset_y = @cursor.y-t.y
            target = [t,[offset_x, offset_y]]
          end
[code]
[color=green]#Updated code[/color]

          if occupied_by?(action.position[0], action.position[1]) == nil
            pos = action.position
            target = nil

            @cursor.x = action.position[0]
            @cursor.y = action.position[1]
            pos = []

1.5 using XP with SDK causes attack/skill animations to be opaque

To fix this one you need to add a 'detect sdk' line so that I dont overwrite their method. Its pretty easy, just open Part 1 and browse to line 867, which should be "def update_appear". You will insert a line above that with the following: if !defined?(SDK), then an 'end' after that method end.. like this

Code:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Update Appearance Effect
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  if !defined?(SDK)
  def update_appear
    self.blend_type = 0
    self.color.set(0, 0, 0, 0)
    self.opacity = (16 - @effect_duration) * 16
  end
  end

You will need to repeat this for def update_collapse just a few lines further down. This should fix it

Using an ISO map can cause weird skill range patterns, when involving height changes

The reason for this error is because of an inconsistency in the script for fill and straight line methods. To correct this, open Scene_Battle_TBS to line 7318, which should be

Code:

h_max = [2, range_max/1.5].max

You will update the 1.5 to be 2.
There is another line just a little bellow that is EXACTLY the same, and requires the same edit regarding how to minus min ranges from the overall range.

Also one last note...
I have decided to pickup this project up again. Expect to see many new updates coming soon.

GubiD,

An excellent set of scripts, well done!

I am currently working to adapt some of the code so that short cutscenes can be shown in between attacks. Is there any way you can make the battle persistent when transfering back and forth between another area?

Perhaps calling a method that will "memorize" the event positions/parameters/states and set a certain switch denoting that the battle is still underway, then calling a 2nd "restore" method at the beginning of battle that will restore the entire map when battle processing is called again?

It is very difficult to weed out everything that must be reconstructed on the battlefield without having written the code myself, but I'll keep trying things as long as it seems to be possible , please let me know what you think!

Much thanks in advance,
-Miracle

[Ramiro]

@Miracle:
you don't really need to make a new scene(you can make an interrupt scene and the problem is solved)
I will make a guide to how to make a template for an interrupt scene later :P
But there arhe other ways insthead of memorizing all the positions damge, etc...

[s_miracle]

Oooo thank you Ramiro!

[GubiD]

1.5 has been released. Hope you all enjoy it.

[Ramiro]

WOW YOU ARE JUST AWESOME GUBID
We were waiting for this a long time but i hope than the time won't be in vain. Taks for continue this awesome script gubid

[GubiD]

So is anyone using this now? Any new problems to report?

[chickendips]

ive tried the one for vx awhile ago and dont remember encountering a problem, but who knows.

[Ramiro]

I use VX, but i tested the new rmxp version.
All the bugs than you describe on the read me i saw them on first try i opened the game -.-...
Well, anothe rone is the projectile, idk why it seems than it "moves" to the right a bit when you throw it.
And when you try to change the follow camera in the battle the game just crashes.
That's all i'm finding for now...(sorry for bad english...)
See ya!

[Villain]

Some new questions:
Can i make a Hudge Enemy who will placed on 4 places?
May it bee to write an Action points to the varible and up it with new lvl?
