I'm having a rather strange error that I can't seem to remedy.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a362/ ... oABS01.png[/img]
Things I've tried:
I copied the scripts data and other files directly from your game folder.
I've tried to rewrite the method itself.
Removed all additional scripts I was using.
I think it's because I don't have data for the skills completed inside the editor. I haven't tested this theory just yet, but if that is the case, is there anything you can do about that? It would help the testing process significantly. Anyway, I'll test this out and edit if I figure out what's wrong before you respond.
EDIT:
Ok, I found that the problem is when you have no characters in the party. I don't know if that can be fixed or not considering the fact that this is an ABS, but even if it can't be it's no big deal. I can always use a dummy character.
PS:
There's is also an error when loading a game, but I'm guessing that's because the dump files weren't recorded when the script was integrated. I'll test that too.
EDIT:
I was right about this error. You cannot load game data that was created prior to script integration.

Suggestions
For a future ABS, you could focus more on skills. So far you have the everyday "fireball" attacks with weapon hotkeys. Maybe with the implementation of a quality mouse system you could allow support for ranged explosive ranged attacks.
With the mentioned mouse system, you could also allow support for ranged gun weapons
User applied multiple animations for attacks, to allow more variation in battle to keep things chaotic
Option to change screen color tone as HP decreases at a certain rate / display an image on the screen as damage is taken, such as blood.
Grapple system that will let the player grapple the enemy and beat them by mashing a button. Option to turn this off on certain enemies.

That would probobly be a lot of work for Mr. Mo to do. I could see the grapple system happening, though.
Some throwable explosive weapons like grenades would be nice.
Edit:
::Update::
Script updated.
Fixed bugs and added HIT, check screen.
/end Edit
Its actually because the ABS is not in "real time" but on "frame time". So everything is executed in frames, like in any other game. When the animation appears, the character's X and Y are actually already different, so the attack goes through.
And I've made it so the attacks of squads go through each other.
Yup, I can't fix none of those errors actually XD.
Actually, with the mouse system, I'm thinking of making a strategy based ABS. More info will be released later if I decide to do it.
Wrong, the grapple system would be the most annoying cause it would interfere with other features :-p.
And grenades, well, there are missiles and rockets already. Grenades are possible too but maybe later.
::News::
I've decided to enhance my battle systems with extra graphical features. Such as Combo(HIT) showing on screen as the player hits an enemy. Voice effects for attacks and getting hurt will also be included.
My friend showed me couple of jap made ABS systems and I liked how they displayed the Combo effect and the sound effects.
Other features I plan on adding are(after the next released version):
Scripted Skills - Wanna use a skill that makes the player/enemy/screen do certain things before attacking? I will use Common Events for scripting, so no need to know how to script RGSS.
Destruction Engine(for combo kills) - Finish off death combos with a cool effect. First I need to make a destruction engine though :-p.
Summons - Summon a monsters you've killed before, must be summon enabled. (ABS only, probably)
News on the SBABS add-on
I'm pretty much done. The squad can get effected by status such as poison. I've disabled rotating party when a party member is dead or inflicted with some other status, for now. The Squad can also attack using weapons or skills.
Whats left: Healing, graphical stuff such as HUD.

Keep it up, Mr. Mo! We're looking forward to this!
How is the AI coming? Earlier you mentioned the idea of Active and Defensive AI based on class...

Hey, Mr.Mo, how do I use the Shift Key for attacking?
I mean, I tried "Input::Letters["SHIFT"]" but that didn't work. Can you help me?

Take a look at line 1632 onwards on "Aleworks Input" this is where you can see the definitions for the keys.
You will see that Letters["SHIFT"] doesnt exist, so instead just use Shift, which will make the code Input::Shift. I gave you the line so you can see what other definitions you can use and how to use them ;D
Hope this helps you

I'd love to use this in my game, however, I have a second party member, BUT you can't switch to him, he just follows and attacks, I've tried your SBABS, but I always get a Send Error Report whenever I try it out (game.exe), so I was hoping thered be a way to make it happen on this instead ? It'd be like an NPC which follows you round, but you cannot heal him, you can use a skill to make him come, he can't be in your party. It's like a summon.
Any way of doing this on here because as I said, the SBABS won't work.

Err... happens when I'm fighting; guessing it's got something to do with the enemy disappearing.
Line 788 (Class Additions) is:

I don´t know... But in your game thread ( http://www.rmxp.org/forums/http://dev.r ... 74#p358674 ) people seemed to have trouble playing your demo. Linkin_T wrote this to you:
"Are you aware that you just distributed a demo made with an illegal/non-official version of RMXP? People here can be pretty harsh about that. Also, you could´ve avoided it by just distributing the RGSS102J.DLL DLL together with Game.exe, in the game's main folder."
Maybe that´s the answer to your question?

Nice ABS mr. mo!
But its still not what I want or need. I am making a zelda like game and I need a ABS that is very modular in weapons and enemies. I have been searching japanese sites and all over for the internet I thought the XAS could solve it for me but it still didn't do what I wanted. I saw your system and I thought it work but sadly no.
So now I have come to the sad realization that I need to program this ABS myself. But I have very little experience with RGSS. Most of the script I have figured out but what would be really great mo is if you could help me out with the enemy AI and objects on the map. This is the biggest problem I am having as I don't know how to interact with events on the map.
If you could help me out that would be great.

Hey Mr. Mo :smile: It's been a while since I have been on these forums, but it's nice to come back to something like this. Even though I am probably not going to be using RMXP anymore, this is still pretty cool and fun to mess around with. Your scripts really are getting better and better, I can't wait to see what you have in store for GMS.net :lol:
