Centering Battlers

KhaoticErase · May 9, 2007

I know there have been people repeatedly requesting a script that centers the players' battlers (using the default battle system), but I haven't actually seen one.

Basically, let's say we have two party members.

[Enemies]
[Actor1][Actor2]_____________
With the script, it should look like this:

[Enemies]
________[Actor1][Actor2]________

2nd Example. Three party members:

[Enemies]
____[Actor1][Actor2][Actor3]____

See this script:

Ehhh. Sorry, but the first one's impossible to get permission from its creators, and the second one says the script is not for commercial use.

That's a problem.

Here's the script to center the battlers i made it and yes you can use it... I'm not sure how to get rid of the black area behind the battlers though.. and i know that the XRXS website has a script to do it, but like you said its impossible to contact him.. so maybe if you need it, maybe someone else can help you with that.. sorry

Off-Topic, but..
If you post whole script or partial code, please place them between [ code ] [ / code ] tags.

It didn't work. I got a script error.

Regarding XRXS's site, permission isn't necessary. If you edit a script, they request you send a copy of your edit to them... but nothing about requesting permission. It DOES say you are limited to 'Shareware' games (commercial like Aveyond by Amanda F... our own member 'Lambchop'), and you must include credit to XRXS in the game... title... credit roll... etc.

So you may wanna give it a shot.

What I babelfished from the site, and a link to said site

XRXS (Cherry Tree Elegance Resident in Earth)
...at 'Shelf Script'...

Condition of Use: In regard to utilization UPDATE

When the script of the script shelf is utilized in the game,

Including the mind of appreciation, the staff roll of the game* 1, or

It will try adding the name of the developer to the introduction page and the like of the home page.

When it utilizes, necessary item

Your copyright inscription of appearance. (Publication of script developer name)

Name to place, link, to insert in the staff roll, the variety.

There is no feeling of appreciation, (what), excessively the small-sized game and the like

Also those where name is not done are the ant. In addition, "cherry tree elegance resident in earth" and name of developer

Each also it is good to write, and, the cartridge it is the "script shelf" just inscription

Also those where it does are the ant. In your own appearance.

When it utilizes, when you do, delightful thing

When shelf the game which utilizes the script completes, the report and the advertisement.

When the game which uses the shelf script is released it becomes encouragement.

What this translates into is:

It says I got an error with this line:

That's happen if you don't have the SDK in your game, like Trickster stated that it is required.

KhaoticErase · May 11, 2007

Well, Trickster's already having a hard time answering that PM I sent him 3 weeks ago. I don't want to have to deal with using another of his scripts without permission.

Trickster · May 11, 2007

Please note that I get PMs from SA all the time and its rare that I see non SA related stuff

here is your answer, if I remember what you asked

Yes you can use my scripts, just credit Trickster no need to use my real name :p

Anything else?

KhaoticErase · May 11, 2007

OK, I got your SDK and the script you previously posted works. But now I gots a problem... The game won't let me choose targets in battle anymore.

KhaoticErase · May 14, 2007

BUMP.

xthexendxhasxcomex · May 14, 2007

what error were you getting on my script, even if you aren't going to use it i would kinda like to know so i can fix things, i can't figure it out, i have tried it with and without other scripts and i dont get an error at all.. unless it has to do with these lines

Code:

   self.contents.font.name = $fontface  
   self.contents.font.size = $fontsize

in which case change them to

Code:

   self.contents.font.name = "Arial"  
   self.contents.font.size = 24

also i figured out how to make the battle background fit the whole screen.

add

Code:

    @battleback_sprite.zoom_x = 1.5
    @battleback_sprite.zoom_y = 1.5

in Spriteset_Battle right under

Code:

    @battleback_sprite = Sprite.new(@viewport1)

KhaoticErase · May 14, 2007

Er.. That's not what I meant. I'm not getting a script error, it just won't let me change targets in battle.

Couldn't someone make a script that does what Trickster's "Battler Centering" script does, just without the need for his SDK?

Trickster · May 14, 2007

Ok 1

You don't need the whole SDK for this just Part I if you have all of it then remove those parts

Part I does nothing to your scripts so I suggest you just got the whole thing

I believe you can remove the dependancy by removing the SDK lines at the top of the script and removing the last end statement from the script. try it it may work
