Help with Minkoff's animated battlers script...

[Emmanuel]

Hey guys, I'm new at all this, and I was just wondering if anyone knew exactly how to configure the script to allow Rpg maker 2003's battlers, because now it just shows the all the different poses of the battler, instead of just showing one animated battler. People have told me how to actually do the configuring, but unfortunatley, I'm kinda slow,lol, so if I could have the section of the script with the actual changes, that would be great. Help would be very much appreciated, because I know how creative and intelligent the people on this site are...thanks.

Actually, I had a previous demo that actually DID that.

I'll see about digging it up (somewhere).  Mostly, it was just setting it to use 3 frames of animation instead of 4... and changing the poses around for a 13-pose system.

Thanks man! I didn't think I was actually gonna be answered by the best. I am honored!!

But I really appreciate this, the sooner the better...but take your time. I'll just work on everything else but the battle scenes.

Again man, Thanks!

I guess you're using battlers supplied by The Charas Project (http://charas-project.net) which can generate RM2K3 battlers for ya.  I don't have the demo anymore, but I did modify a portion of the config script for ya.

This is only the top portion.  Just do some copy/paste right now.  And yeah... it's up to 10.5.

Yeah, I'm using that website...lol.
I copied and pasted the the script edit you posted up there, but I'm still getting the same effect. The character battler picture is still allover the screen instead of being just one animated battler.

I don't know whats going on, and I'm lost...help?

Thanks for helping me with this anyways.
