GTBS v1.5.1.4 - A FFT Styled Battle System (5/19/2010)

[Lucas Scoppio]

I will seek your topic until more info comes out (also, im really excited about the possible mouse feature and the bigger monster feature)

 

[Vivere]

Vivere.. the script is not public and was make specifically for his game to my knowledge.  Here is the link to his project page if you are interested.  Link

Thanks GubiD. His battle system is not exactly like Live A Live's but it's definitely a lot closer, you're right I look forward to playing his game when it's done.

 

[Ynlraey]

I actually tried that I followed frog's template, but anyway I'll try once again and see if it'll work out.

 

[Gubid]

If you want to provide me the graphics(PM).. I can put them in the template for you.    I have a base template around here somewhere...

For my project I want to make certain skills with two effects like "Steal Time" which causes slow on one enemy and haste on the user.
I thought that the easiest way would be to create to separate skills and the use of the first one would trigger the other. I managed to do it with the regular battle system (yay!) but I've been looking through Scene_Battle_TBS and  I could figure out how should I do it...
Thanks in advance. Also, here is the little code I made for the regular battle system, (not that you need it) yet I felt like showing it.

module Second_Skill
  Second_Skill = { 3 => 537 }
end

class Scene_Battle < Scene_Base
  alias double_execute_action_skill execute_action_skill
  def execute_action_skill
    double_execute_action_skill 
    ssi = Second_Skill::Second_Skill[@active_battler.action.skill.id]
    unless ssi.nil?
      @active_battler.action.set_skill(ssi)
      double_execute_action_skill 
    end
  end
end

 

[Lucas Scoppio]

I having troubles trying to do an enemy/neutral to join the battle in the middle of the battle... how could I "make" an event (enemy9 or something like neutral3) when the "battlr_turn" reaches a specifc value?

 

[Gubid]

use $scene.set_character(type,[x,y],dir,animation)
Look it up in the help file.

uresk.. you are going to need to modify tbs_phase_9 which is where all the actions take place.  You need to say if !ssi.nil? @step = 1; @targets = [@active_battler]; return; end or something close to that.. somewhere in there.

 

[Lucas Scoppio]

Thank you GubiD, I'll try it

Thanks GubiD, this is how it turned out. Not many changes actually

Also, during a battle, there's no help window for items or skills.
I've looked trough the code but have no idea whats causing it...

 

[Gubid]

Cool, nice to have another scripter out there to make some small changes!  Thanks alot.

Edit -
Here is the animation template that I use.  Technically it can be any size as long as it follows this pattern and total number of frames.

I was trying to add an script that actualy do the "in middle of battle spawn", but I dont have any results since i dont know the sintaxe of ruby... was doing something like this

class Battle_turn
  def new_enemy_neutral_troops(turn_actual, turn_of_deployment, switch, map_id)
    @turno = turno_actual
    @turno_e = turno_of_deployment
    @switch = switch
    @map_id = map_id
    if @map_id == 5
      if @turno == @turno_e
        $game_switches[@switch] == true  
        @turno_e = @turno_e - 1
      end
    end
  end
end

but the switch ive pointed in $game_switches[@switch] do not trigger and my battle event (the character deployment) do not happens... any idea? Ive also tried to transform the $game.temp_battle.turn in to a variable in the game_variables but ive got no success, I'm forgotting any returns or something like?

I tried to use the $scene.set_character(enemy,1,[13,4],4,0) (example) in place of the switch thing but the script crashed.
(my event is running on paralell process as an EXTRA, the switch I want to get spawns the new actors/neutrals/enemies in the field)

 

[Gubid]

Here is a code snippet from the demo, which sets a enemy in the middle of battle using the troop tab in the database set for battle span at turn 3 -

$scene.set_character("enemy",1,15,14,0)

It would seem that I lied earlier by putting the x,y in []'s but had I actually reviewed my own code.. it is actually

$scene.set_character(TYPE,ID,X,Y,ANIM_ID)

 

[Lucas Scoppio]

Ok, Ive found how to do it now, Thanks for your great help GubiD!

I will try to implement the "mult-language" system now in your TBS.

 

[Ynlraey]

Gubid, I have a question, I am working with woratana's NMS, it works perfectly fine but

Spoiler

http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w320/ynlraey/bleh.png[/img]

This happens, am I missing something? It only happens in battle.

 

[Gubid]

Probably because of this..

@message_window.z = 1000

Find the line and just comment it out.  See if that corrects it.  I adjusted during troubleshooting of the message window during battle, so I may have forgot to reset it.

 

[Ynlraey]

Ah it worked! Thank you very much ^_^

 

[Unclesatan]

I have a question. I'm using Kylock's light effects script, and Woratana's fogs script, both of which are a very prominent feature in my game.  I would REALLY love to use your system, and I've actually figured the whole thing out.. BUT, for some reason, when I start a battle, both fogs and light effects are removed.  I've tried using extras, but they don't work, and I've also tried using set_open_scene_event(), which again doesn't work.  Is there anything else that I need to do to make my fogs and light effects work?

Another thing, when I start a battle, for some reason the camera pans left, up, right, then back down before I can start the battle.  I've tried doing two separate battles, and the same issue comes up.  If you could help me, I'd be very thankful

Oh, and I love the system.  It's just what I was looking for

 

[Gubid]

please provide me a demo (via pm) and i will see what i can do to resolve the issues.

Also, during a battle, there's no help window for items or skills.
I've looked trough the code but have no idea whats causing it...

I am having this problem, too. I've tried forcing it to be visible and some other stuff but to no avail. :< Great script overall, though! It's perfect for my project.

Hey man, can you get that done as quick as possible?  Sorry for the rush, it's just I can't make any progress on my game until this gets fixed, and I have a deadline that I need for my game.
