Rewrite to make "Slanted Bar"

[Zankoku no Yami]

Hi,

Well, this is definately something I have no idea on how to do. so I am going to jump ahead and ask for someone to help me with the coding here.

I want to get the CT Bar (which serves as the ATB bar) to be a slanted one; Sephiroth Spawn style. But, I have no idea what coding to add to the script to make that happen. So, if you could either just tell me what to add so it redraws the bar in battle as a slanted one, or whatever, I would really appreciate it!

Here are the links to the scripts i am working with, if they help any!

I am using Paradogs battle system:

And Seph's slanted bars, which i'd like to know, to get them to work correctly you have to use the script found in DVV's lmit break script:

If there are any questions, or something i left out, ask away or let me know!

Thanks in advance,
-Zank

Yeah, those the bars I am using (they had to be rewritten, which is why I pointed to DVV's limit break script. He rewrote them to work with his script; which can be found in the limit break demo). But I need the scripting so that it overrights the CT bar in Paradog's battle system with a slanted bar. Thats what i can't figure out (just to get it to replace the HP and SP bars I had to make a side script to redraw and over write the old HP and SP bars. Curtiousy of DVV).

And phooey. I could have sworn that the last time i read the 'bump' rules it said 48 hours, not 72. My bad. Things change around here whenever i turn my back, i swear! (just getting back into this part of the forum, so thanks for the heads up)

Anyways, to further elaberate on what i said; since i don't think it made much since, this had to be put after seph's bar script to make it work (i had to add an extra part to make the limit break bar different in battle than it was in the menu... i just can't figure out how to add the CT bar in this equation and make it slanted...)
