change strength and dexterity battle system to attack and defense system?

[Ecchi777]

please help! i hate how in rpg maker xp the characters stats are strength and dexterity, etc!! its so much easier with attack and defense, etc like in VX and 2003!!! I heard that you can script all of that back. do u guys have the script for that. because i really hate how in XP your charcaters have to have a weapon in their hand just to do and basic attack. please help!!!! ^_^ thank you

There are multiple possibilities on how to proceed... first, if you just want to enable damage without a weapon in a characters hand, that's easily done with a couple of lines one of the other helpful guys in here can tell you... I can't, because I don't have RMXP anymore.
If you really want to change the whole damage calculation (and yeah, I do recommend that), you need to change a bunch of methods within Game_Battler, mainly attack_effect definition - search that in the script editor under Game_Battler and have a look in there. With a little interest, that can be a nice training for scripting beginners, so instead of trying to remember some code from the past I can't even backup, you might try it by yourself.

class Game_Actor
  alias add_str_base_atk base_atk
  def base_atk
    n = add_str_base_atk
    n += base_str
    return n
  end
end

STR will add to ATK even without weapons.
