ACBS - Atoa Custom Battle System 3.2

I love their Battle Status style with its smooth animation. <3
RTH, I've heard that before. From whom did you base your FFX-like CTB add-on off? I came across a script that I had ages back, that this system's add on reminded me of and made me go look for it. It has a similar turn order window style and use of counter points.
Also, Cogwheel: http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/cogwheel/

EDIT: I would use the CT system... if it didn't keep crashing after battle with a 'not responding' error. :[ It even carks out in a fresh demo. ... it can't be because it needs RGSS103J.dll can it?

EDIT 2: I found an older version of the script I had backed up: V2.0 Beta 2 | 14 - 09 - 2009. It doesn't crash, though it also lacks some add ons. Or specifically, trying to carry over the visual equipment script from the latest version does not work. The bug is in the CT battle script - I tried carrying the older version (plus some required definitions) over, so there is something up with the main code.

 

[LockeZ]

Anyone know of a pixel movement script that's compatible with this CT battle system? The CT battle system depends on the caterpillar code working, and so most pixel movement scripts fail.

 

[Taylor]

... clearly this CBS has a vendetta against me. I decide to go for the traditional (non CT) system, only to find Battle Advantage freezes after a back attack. After the enemies have attacked, actors will just sit there. e.g KaHn flashes, but the menu does not activate.
In addition, a party back attack will result in enemies not flipping around, so they attack the right side of the actors.

Also, if there is no battle cry for the COLLAPSE pose, the system should probably default to the database specified one. Right now it doesn't appear to, if it's meant to.

I got this error using a normal attack after using Charge. I'm using the ATB battle system at the moment, but I'm not sure if these error will happen with the default or CTB battle system.

Spoiler: ATB Charge Error

impressive how much you've done in my abscence atoa, good job!

Could somebody explain the sprites? I mean, which row has which function and how many rows are possible and stuff like that...couldn't find it in the script ^^'

It's in the initial post, as well as in the basic and advanced config parts of the script. Just read through it carefully. There is no limit to the number of rows.

Seriously, it's all there.

Okay, I looked again and I found it, but I still have no bloody idea how to create my own sprites. For example, take the Ghost1, it has several rows as sprites and several "commands" in the scripts. I don't know what the meanings of those rows is, which row is activated during which "event"...means I don't know which row is used when the Ghost does nothing, when it blocks, when it attacks...it's not written there...so I don't know how to integrate my own sprites...

Well, it's not clearly documented, but the information is there. The rows are named, the size of the rows and columns are variables. It's all there, just need to look at the lines of the code's configurations.

I'm working on a ACBS Tutorial for newbies, but I am not rushing on it. I need sprites for my game and doing pixel art right now takes priority.

In the meantime, unless someone else answers you, I suggest you experiment. You can't actually BREAK the game by trying out new things.

 

[Cerone]

okay...thanks anyway^^

I get this error whenever I use the "Show Animation" event command while on a map.

   7. #This system allows events that are named something including "ENEMY" then

EDIT: I tried it without the detection script and I en up with the same error, so it can't be that.

 

[Reygekan]

Does anyone know of a way to set up icons as weapons for the ATB like in version 2.0? I've tinkered enough with the animation settings to mostly restore using charsets as battlers like in the previous version, and I don't want to create the hundred or so new spritesheets required for the equipment sprite add on, but I haven't yet figured out how to work icon-weaponry yet, and battles look silly without weapons.

Edit: I may have mistaken this system for another similar one... <.< It's a great one either way. Ignore what I said if I sound insane.

Yes. Yes I definitely did. z.z

 

[dylstew]

Hey Atoa.
I had problems buying RMXP.
But i finally have it now.

But i have an error when i go to the status menu(oops i forgot):

Scripts i have in order:
1(alll the atoa battle system stuff that's there by default)
2 Atoa ATB
3Enemy Name window
4Individual battle commands
5Atoa Bestiary
6Skill Scan
7Skill Drain
8UMS(CCoa's universal message system) v6.3
9 Quest log system by game guy 3.0
BTW:
First i used your demo as a base
Then i copied it(EVERYTHING!) to the UMS base(Because UMS wouldn't work in your demo)I used UMS as a base. But it also happens on the other version.

You can download the project here if you need more information:

Hey I'm having an issue with a few things. Um, I'm having the "RGSS has stopped responding" issue once I finish or escape from a battle in the chrono trigger system and I can't seem to get it fixed. I'm using the demo btw. Also, I want to change the menu system in battle to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX1EW8P7VUw It says in the link that it's using this battle system, but I can't figure out how to do it.

One final thing, um.... I want to make custom skills to show chrono use something like "Confuse" from the actual chrono trigger game. I know I need the battle animation, but even if the battle animation shows, how do I make the sprite of the character invisible after it approches the enemy? Or if there's an easier way to do it, I'd really like to know.

PS. can the skill combo system work with chrono trigger system?

 

[dylstew]

don't forget to answer my other question 2 posts above.


I have another question:
Is it possible to create larger battlers?

 

[Mikepjr]

Yes it is possible, you don't even need Atoa to tell you that, it's very possible, i have made all kinds of sizes, even battlers bigger than the screen.

 

[StudioBlue]

I have another question:
Is it possible to create larger battlers?

For my Kingdom hearts game, I have created giant Darkside Heartless. It's easy, you just need to follow the instructions to make battlers.

Granted, dylstew, if you make something REALLY big it may flicker and stuff, but that is par for the course. Use common sense and don't make one battler be something the size of three screens!

it's been a long time since the last time i posted here.

I'm posting just to let people know that i didn't gave up on the ACBS. I'm commenting all the script, in two languages, and it's an HUGE work.

So don't worry, sooner or later i will relase the next update.

Nice notice,xD. A idea: you might want to release a developers version, with the scripts like you might have them(or at least i have like 12 different scripts that sum in one when releasing... and not only based on classes), because its a pain in the ass searching for nothing, even with comments... 6000 lines of code, lol.

Anyway its a great thing.

Now i use a little script where im putting all the things i have to modify or that i think i have to use...

Good to hear from you, Atoa! Hope things are well and your updates are coming nicely as well. Can't wait to see what's next!
