Dead Battler Graphics with default battle system

[lurk]

Hi, this might be a dumb question, but I have searched everywhere and could'nt find a satisfying result. I would like my battlers(player only) to stay visible when killed, maybe replaced with an alternative picture. I tried SephirothSpawn's scripts, but they applied to the enemy too, and I could'nt find out how to correct this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Edit:
I actually almost have it working. Right now, the player's battler stays on screen, with this slight modification to the original script. All I would need now is a way to include the change to a battler_dead picture.

class RPG::Sprite
  alias_method :seph_dontcollapsebattler_rpgsprite_collapse, :collapse
  def collapse
    if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor) && @battler_visible && @battler != nil
      return
    end
    seph_dontcollapsebattler_rpgsprite_collapse
    end
end

class Sprite_Battler
  alias_method :seph_dontcollaspebattler_spritecharacter_update, :update
  def update
    collapses =  @battler != nil && @battler_visible && @battler.damage == nil and @battler.dead?
    seph_dontcollaspebattler_spritecharacter_update
    
    if collapses 
      @battler_visible = true
    end
  end
end

I almost managed to reach the desired effect. The problem is, the battler changes BEFORE the attack animation is played, and the amount of damage displayed.

#-Credits SephirothSpawn
class Game_Battler
  alias_method :seph_deadgraphics_gmbtlr_bn, :battler_name
  def battler_name
    name = seph_deadgraphics_gmbtlr_bn
    name += '_dead' if self.dead? && self.is_a?(Game_Actor)
    return name
  end
end

class RPG::Sprite
  alias_method :seph_dontcollapsebattler_rpgsprite_collapse, :collapse
  def collapse
    if @battler.is_a?(Game_Actor) && @battler_visible && @battler != nil
      return
    end
    seph_dontcollapsebattler_rpgsprite_collapse
    end
end

class Sprite_Battler
  alias_method :seph_dontcollaspebattler_spritecharacter_update, :update
  def update
    collapses =  @battler != nil && @battler_visible && @battler.damage == nil and @battler.dead?
    seph_dontcollaspebattler_spritecharacter_update
    
    if collapses 
      @battler_visible = true
    end
  end
end

Is there anything there I'm not doing properly?
