Battle : Command Memory
Version: 3.5

Introduction

With this, your input is memorized for commands and stuff selected during battle. This is a feature that is often found in games, such as the ever-popular Final Fantasy series, which allows you to set Battle Cursor to Default or Memory.

Features

Works with DerVVulfman's Grouping & Details system (*NEW*)
Actors memorize their last selected battle command
Actors memorize their last selected skill or item
Actors memorize their last selected actor or enemy targets
All actors memory is cleared when battle ends

Instructions

Place Below SDK (only if using) and Above Main! If using DerVVulfMan's Grouping & Details script, place below that system or it probably won't work correctly.

SP27 : Requesting Patch for DerVVulfman's Grouping and Details

Compatibility

Works with or without the SDK. Now includes a patch for DerVVulfman's Grouping and Details script too!

Enjoy :thumb:

Terms and Conditions

Another "Free to use in commercial and non-commercial games" script, but credit is required thanks!

MCsephiroth13 · Jul 15, 2009

Kain Nobel, my man, your scripts are more awesome than Knights of Round, Sephiroth, and Chuck Norris put together, but does it always have to require the SDK? When I see your scripts, I'm always like, "Hmm, this looks intersting...*clicks on thread*...WHOAH! Imma use this in my game! *Sees the word SDK*...awwwww!"

The SDK ruins a lot of crap in my game so that's why I can't use it.
But, what ev. What can ya do, right?

Awesome script, of course! Just...

Kain Nobel · Jul 15, 2009

AHA! I lied and I fooled you just to see what you'd say! Now you can use this with or without SDK just the same, it no longer is a requirement!!! You don't have to delete the SDK.log line or anything, it works as-is with or without...

Nah, I didn't lie on purpose its just I've been working with SDK for 2 years, and haven't seen default Scene_Battle coding in a long assed time, all I had to do is change one method between the versions and now it works both ways!

Go ahead, paste that baby in and see if it works without SDK now! If you encounter any problems, then feel free to come back but I think you should be just fine.

SP27 · Jul 17, 2009

Ahhh too bad it doesn't work with "GROUPING & DETAILS" from DerVVulfman.

Other than that, awesome script you have made there, as always! :thumb:

Kain Nobel · Jul 20, 2009

Yeah, its not gonna work on its own with scripts like that, which group skills/items into their own sub-categorized menus 'n such, I already figured it wouldn't lol. Not a problem though, I'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if I can post an addon patch for the Item Grouping/Details script by DerVVulfman.

Also, if anybody else needs a patch for something let me know and I'll try and get on it right away!

NL124 · Jul 21, 2009

Looks great, just what I needed to get my game started off. Sadly doesn't seem to work with the SBS Tankentai XP sscript though. Looks good either way. Nice work.

MCsephiroth13 · Jul 21, 2009

Found a buggy:

When right before the command window in the battle screen appears, the game gets an error regarding line 113. I'm not using the SDK, but that wouldn't be the problem because it would shut down automatically if it required it.

That would be awesome! :grin:

Kain Nobel · Aug 26, 2009

Theres a couple NoMethodError errors that occur without SDK that I've fixed, so with or without SDK this should work just fine because those methods are redefined if SDK isn't present. Also, thanks SP27 for requesting a patch for DerVVulfman's Grouping & Details system, which is now in the new version.

Anybody who had problems with the last version, replace it with the new version. Also, you can find the Grouping and Details patch starting around line 240 included in the script. This is imediately active if Window_ItemGroup and Window_SkillGroup are defined (native to the G&D system).

If anybody encounters any problems, please PM me because I'll be too busy to watch the forums the next few weeks.

SP27 · Aug 27, 2009

:shock: Say whaaat?
I'm in the credits, hehe now that's a first! :biggrin:

Kudos on the patch Kain! :thumb:
If I find any errors or "glitches" I'll be sure to alert you!

Awww, that's too bad, I have to report a bug to you. :sad:

This error pops up right after the end of battle when you saw the EXP/gold window and you closed it.

Oh yeah, and one more little thing, it works great in-battle, but it doesn't remember the skill you chose. Which would be awesome if it could be done. :smile:

Hope that was enough info. :wink:

Thank you for PMing me this bug, it would've took me longer to notice it if you didn't =P

Okay, the first one you could consider as a typo and use $game_party.actors.each but I had actually did it directly on $game_actors on purpose, incase party changes during battle. Instead of changing that line, just leave it as is and paste this above it, it was a method I forgot to include with the script but its something I threw in for the MACL

Code:

#===============================================================================

# ** RGSS.Actor and Party Info (should be in next MACL update)

#===============================================================================

 

class Game_Actors

  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Name      : Each

  #   Info      : Adds an 'each' method to $game_actors

  #   Author    : Kain Nobel

  #   Call Info : Any normal way you'd use an 'each' method from an object

  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def each(&block)

    @data.each(&block)

  end

end

As far as the skill not memorizing bug, I've tested it both with and without Grouping and Details system and I'm not getting any issues like that. Perhaps you're using a script or event that, for any reason, adds and removes skills in the middle of battle? Since it memorizes skill by ID (and not the index of the window) it could be that you use skill #67 and some event/script removes it, then you go to the skill screen again and it should default to the very first index if the skill (with the ID) isn't found. I'm just throwing out a likely cause, because I can't think of what else would be causing the problem since it works fine with what I've tested.

You might wanna share what scripts you're using, I'll check them out and see if any could be causing this one not to work correctly. Best bet would be just PM me a demo if you can, so I can see myself whats going on.

Again, thanks for the bug reports much appreciated :thumb:

BTW, I've fixed a couple bugs thus far in the script and updated the post above, one is related to checking if Window_Command commands should be defined based on if SDK is present, I changed it to check instead if self.method_defined? for the methods in question which might be causing NoMethodError errors.

SP27 · Sep 20, 2009

No I'm not using any scripts that change skill ID's at all. :grin:

I'll test this update you have and I'll let you know if it works or not. :biggrin:
