SDK compatibility help needed coff*Seph*coff+[compatibility request]

[karthack]

Ok here I go, im using SDK v 2.2 from ur test bed 4, party switcher, state pops and enhaced battlestatus... all from Sephspawn v4 beta, they all work great with my scripts, i desperately want to use an active time battle system and i only found Active timer cbs 2.01 for SDK v 2.1, i just want to have the active timer cbs for SDK 2.2 , i saw there are no plans to include that into Seph test bed.

and im using a blizzard script which is vital to my game "Chaos Drive", its compatible with everything except for the "active timer cbs".

so basically i just need to upgrade active timer cbs to sdk 2.2 and fiz a compatibility problem with chaos drive

i would be very thankful if i can get ur help

ill attach a mini demo designed to test chaos drive with all my scripts making it easier to help me out

thats the code of chaos drive:

#==============================================================================
# Chaos Drive System by Blizzard
# Version: 1.31b
# Date: 10.10.2006
# Date v1.3b: 3.11.2006
# Date v1.31b: 23.2.2007
# 
# 
# Compatibility:
# 
# 99% chance of full compatibility with SDK, not tested altough. WILL corrupt
# your old savegames. Can cause incompatibilty issues with following scripts
# and/or systems:
# - exotic CBS-es
# - Limit Break systems
# WILL cause incompatibility issues with:
# - Soul Rage System + Soul Limit System of any version
# 
# Complexity:
# - average to high
# 
# Special knowledge REQUIRED:
# - reading long and boring instructions
# - using the "Call Script" event command
# 
# 
# Features:
# 
# - configure your database easily
# - contains universal font fix, never ever "I can't see the letters"
# - replaces entire party with one Chaos Drive
# - revert Chaos Drive anytime
# 
# v1.3b:
# 
# - choose either to remove the entire party or only the actor using the CD
# - completely new system of functioning
# - better coding
# 
# v1.31b:
# 
# - slight improvement of the code
# 
# 
# Instructions:
# 
# - Explanation:
# This script will allow the player to use Chaos Drive when in the critical
# HP zone. Chaos Drive will transform the character into another and remove the
# entire party from battle. If a Chaos Drive dies, his original form will also
# die and the party will be brought back. Chaos Drives are always full with HP
# and SP when they enter the battle.
# 
# - Configuration:
# Press CRTL+SHIFT+F and type into the window: START Chaos Drive Database
# You can jump now to the database directly. There are more instructions.
# Also please configure the following macros found below:
# 
# CHAOS_COLOR   - set the values in the () to numbers between 0-255, also note
#                 that they determine the color ammount in the color like this
#                 example: (RED, GREEN, BLUE, ALPHA) - note: alpha = opacity
# CD_PRECENTAGE - the max percentage of HP the character must have to unlock CD
# EXP_NORMALIZE - set to true if the EXP/LVL of your Chaos Drives should be set
#                 to the same as their caller
# REMOVE_PARTY  - set to true if you want the party to disappear when a CD is
#                 called, set to false if you only want replace the caller
# MAX_PARTY     - set to the value of the maximum size of your party
# 
# To add a new Chaos Drive to a characer use the "Call Script" event command
# and use following syntax:
# 
# $game_actors[X].learn_cd(CD_ID)
# 
# To remove a Chaos Drive from a character use this syntax:
# 
# $game_actors[X].forget_cd(CD_ID)
# 
# X is the ID of the character in the database and CD_ID is the ID of the Chaos
# Drive skill in the database. Also create a status effect and name it "Chaos".
# Add whatever animation you want.
# 
# 
# - Additional info:
# You can use animations and common event calls (i.e. for enhanced animations)
# for any CD skill. It is recommened that CD skills target the user. If you
# want Chaos Drives to have the same ammount of experience as their callers.
# Also, don't forget to create a status effect and call it "Chaos" or
# "Chaos Drive".
# 
# Important note:
# 
# Chaos Drives are not normal skills and should be NOT used as such. Chaos
# Drive skills as normal skills will not make a transformation happen. Do not
# assign two different characters the same Chaos Drive character. If you want
# them to access the same character, make a duplicate CD character in your
# database.
# 
# 
# If you find any bugs, please report them here:

# or send me an e-mail:

Hi Im the one who posted this topic, ill be checking if this gets updated Karthack is my brother's account

 

[Unrivaledneo]

From what Trick tell me Blizz's script rewrites alot of Window_Command stuff, So may not be able to work with a few things, but then agian, I may be wrong.

 

[busbuzz]

Yeah i think thats the problem, i would like some1 to make trickster's timer battle and chaos drive to work together. i hope its possible :|

Trickster's active timer cbs is awesome and gives a lot of Fun to the game, i think it may be vital to my game
