Alright, I've figured out how to animate characters in system windows, but battlers...aye, they're a different lot. Here is the CBS I'm using, which you will recognize as ParaDog's front view battle system:

Under class Sprite_Battler near the bottom you'll see this: sx = @battler.pattern * cw

If I change it to look like this:

frame = (Graphics.frame_count / 8 ) % 4
sx = @battler.pattern * cw * frame

...I can get the battler to walk in place only while it is stepping forward to attack. However, I am at a loss trying to get the battler to walk in place while they're not acting. I tried to edit this:

cw = self.bitmap.width / 4 * frame

...but for some reason...well, how do I explain this...the battler constantly clones and unclones itself, so to speak (somehow when you edit the width it modifies the x value of a battler too? What the hell...;D).

So, the question is...how do I get the battlers to walk in place while they're inactive with Paradog's CBS? I know it might be a tad difficult to tackle, so I'd really appreciate the help. Thank you for your insight. :)

Reading Japanese can be rather cumbersome...  Here's a copy I translated.  It should make editing a little easier for any involved.

You do realize that (by design) they stand still until they attack.

Oh, and it works just fine with ParaDog's ATB v 2.58 (that I also translated) ;)

I do realize they're still until they take action, but it would be more pleasing to the eye if they weren't just motionless. If anyone would like to help out, I would be grateful.

Got it.

Go to def move_reset... the last def in the Game_Battler section of the code.
Change the @pattern = 0 to @pattern = 1.

Combined with your...

Code: 
frame = (Graphics.frame_count / 8 ) % 4
sx = @battler.pattern * cw * frame

...code in the Sprite_Battler class (just as you entered it), that will animate them the way you want.

Goodness, it was that easy? I spent hours piling new snipits of code here and there to no avail, and all I had to do was change one number? Ah, the irony of it all. ;D Anyway, I owe you a great and many thanks, DerVVulfman! No more problems here.
