This doesn't add any feauture to battle system, this puts the battlers actors
in positions to make it look like a side-view-battle-system, but it doesn't have
those engines. You may use this together with another battle system.
The actors will be like in FF1,2,3,4,5 and many more, but they will be battlers.
also, you need battlebacks of 640x480, like the oldies of RM2k, or RM2K3.

# of 640x480(like the RPGM2k, or 2k3, the oldies!). The script will make status_battle
# window transparent, command window will be put in another coordinates and battlers

#- A2           E   -#
#- A3            E  -#
#- A4            E  -#
#-                  -#
#--------------------#
#
#
#   A is the actor and E is the enemy
#   A will be drawn in the screen depending on hisc class position (Like Advanced Guard
#, behind, middle).
#
#
#
# CUSTOMIZING:
# ------------
#
# - You could do battler of Actors looking at right, and enemies looking at left
# - You could draw a shadow by yourself in the battlers to improve it.
# - Don't Forget about putting enemies on positions not above from actors.
# - If you want to change the positions of the actors, search the lines with the comment
#EDITABLE. and read the instructions there

# Here we finish, as you can see, only some mods are added.  To make better this script should be
# done by you and your graphic program (like photoshop, corel draw, etc.)

Code:

INSTRUCTIONS:
-------------

-Just place this script above main, all the work will be done. But it is better
if you read customizing part.


What the heck this script does? Simple! First, you must have battle backgrounds
of 640x480(like the RPGM2k, or 2k3, the oldies!). The script will make status_battle
window transparent, command window will be put in another coordinates and battlers
of actors will be drawed like this:
SCREEN
--------------------
- -
- A1 E -
- A2 E -
- A3 E -
- A4 E -
- -
--------------------


A is the actor and E is the enemy
A will be drawn in the screen depending on hisc class position (Like Advanced Guard
, behind, middle).



CUSTOMIZING:
------------

- You could do battler of Actors looking at right, and enemies looking at left
- You could draw a shadow by yourself in the battlers to improve it.
- Don't Forget about putting enemies on positions not above from actors.
- If you want to change the positions of the actors, search the lines with the comment
EDITABLE. and read the instructions there

Enjoy the script and give me the credit. Replies please! What do you think of this?
