How to change battler window size

[chessplayer]

I want to know how to tweak the battler window box. I want the window to limit itself according to the actors in the team. How do I do this? E.g Now I have 1 hero in my team, but the length of the default battle system window is too long and meant for 4 heroes. So I want to tweak it so that the size depends on the player's party size. Thanks.

I had a script that would center your characters based on how many were in your party. So for example, if you only had one party member at the time, he would be in the center, instead of on the left. I don't have the script on this computer, but I could post it on here in a few hours if you would like, if no one else does it before me. But, this might not be what you're looking for...

So... it doesn't remove the empty spaces around the hero? Not exactly what I am looking for but centering my character wouldn't be too bad either. Thanks. I would appreciate it if you had posted the script. But it would really be nice if I could size the sides of the battle window then. Something like Master of the Wind's battle system. Centered and without the sides. Very nice.

There is a script, at one point, I had it but that was over a year ago. The one I had, the window was only as wide as the number of characters and it auto-centered the window.

Now, I think there's one that's with the RTAB, but if you aren't using that, then I don't know

You could also use something like:

In Window_BattleStatus search for:

super(x, y, width, height)

Just use for the width something like:

super(x, y, $game_party.actors.size * 160, height)

Thanks! That was exactly he line of code I was looking for. I didn't know it was in window battle status. So what about the centering?

Sorry, almost forgot. The centering script is a bit more complicated. I'm not sure if there's a simpler way to do it. I just found it on the forums a while back. The author's name is "Matte"

Then go to Spriteset_Battle and change this line

@viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 320)

to this,

@viewport1 = Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 480)

I'm not sure if this will conflict with the previous code you edited or not...
