Awaiting Question...

Compatibility

SDK 2.x compliant
Requires Animated Gradient Bars + Window Sprites + Seph's Multiple Damage and Multiple Animations
Requires MACL Version 1.5
Compatibility unknown (but should be good) Rule if it isn't compatible with my CTB or ATB then chances are it isn't compatible with this

Author's Notes
Everyone knew this was coming from me for the past few months.

(For Laughs) You can call this script TRTAB, Advanced ATB, STARTAB, but not RTAB.

Downloading the TAB (Trickster's Active Battle) system right now. Gonna have to go after that so I won't be able to try it till later.

Ciao.

Wow! Looks ace Trickster...a few problems though...sometimes when you cast spells it would take me back to the command window...not all the time but when other party members got closer to their turn.

And also sometimes when you try to choose your move it takes numerous presses to actually work.

Other than that its looking mighty fine

Not TAB -_- , TAB is Trickster's Animated Batters

@Mac - that goes with the action is not smooth, there must be a wait (like 1 frame somewhere or something)

Looks good but like you said :
..the system is not complete and I expect there to be alot of bugs in the system at this point"

I noticed that if you aren't quick enough to select an "Action" then it puts you on hold. Then whoever would be next to act, you would have to cancel in order to be able to proceed.

Omg Trickster there are too many errors! I couldn't even fisnish testing it out since there was one that was so annoying. But here's what I got so far:

I think the command menu keeps refreshing strangely. It wants to go back to highlighting attack all the time and in turn this causes quite a few annoyances. It won't let you scroll down to other commands and will force back to attack. Sometimes after entering in a command it will just show the command menu again like it was never entered. If you do not select a spell fast enough either another character's command menu will come up or the original one's will pop up again.

Turns seem to be skipped when selecting escape. Though I could be wrong since that error up top could be making it seem like it. Like if you have a character select escape and you go on to the next person that one will be skipped and the command menu will never come up for that character but the character highlights like it's performing an action but never does (or at least I think so since the whole thing is kinda jumbled) But I know I never gave them a command.

You gotta fix that first error though because it's confusing and difficult to even test it out since I can't enter the commands in right. Hope that helps you. :#

 

[Trickster]

Oh, lol, wow I never noticed that until you told me, most of the bug will occur when you select actions very rapidly, but I will try to fix all of the errors that have been reported so far today (but we all know I might not get to it today)

 

[Trickster]

Ok, The First Bug was a Bug inherited from ATB () I have fixed that I don't know about the second

Last Major bug to remove is the unsmoothiness

 

[RavenTDA]

Ah much better now Trick. There's just a few little things I found.

When an animation is played you can't enter in a command. It just ignores you pressed enter until the animation is finished.

The skills help menu lingers when selecting the enemy when choosing a spell to deal on them.

Just a few minor things and I think it's golden. The escape problem seems to be solved although it might have been just me but it's more rare that you can actually escape.

Hope that helps. :#

Will look into this

Bug with the new SDK, Seph should be fixing it as I type this

Its because of the enemies to heroes speed ratio, I think I may have fiddled with their agility values.

Hey Trickster,
I'm getting this bug when I try to inflict a state in map using events.

Script 'Game_Battler' line 125: ZeroDivisionError occurred.

divided by 0

The line is

  alias_method :trick_rtab_battler_add_state, :add_state
  def add_state(*args)
    # The Usual
    trick_rtab_battler_add_state(*args)
    # Set Wait if not already set
[COLOR=Red][B]    self.state_wait = Rtab_Setup::At_Max / self.at_rate[/B][/COLOR]
    # Return if not dead
    return if not self.dead?
    # Reset At
    @at = 0
  end

And I think it's because there's no at in the map, only in battle.

 

[Trickster]

Eeek That is probably an inherited bug from CTB

well you should know how to fix it yourself

 

[tibuda]

Yeah, already fixed it...

 

[Trickster]

Well Now All I have to do is fix the animations error and *POW* Version 1.0


Edit. Expect it a an hour or so I have just isolated the problem

 

[Trickster]

Removed Beta Status and updated to Version 1.0 Enjoy Guys

*wheeeeeeeeeeeee*

 

[Kururu]

Ummm... yes. Maybe I'll use this, maybe I'm a lion...


whatever. *gets FFIII-gun ready*

 

[DerVVulfman]

What took you so long???

*runs off quickly before getting knocked silly*

EDIT:

http://www.creationasylum.net/style_emo ... lright.gif[/IMG] Tried it and found no bugs at all! Skill Delay system (well, any action delay system) already built into the system as well.

 

[Unrivaledneo]

Woot! It is finaly done! Kick ass.

 

[Sandman53]

So my question is geared towards compatability.

Will it be compatable with your other scripts... mainly your skill effects script?
And will Ccoa's battle status's work with this as well?

And one more! Can we use the re-drawn bars like in RTAB?

Try it and see if it works if not then wait for my new version of skill effects

No you can not switch the code used to draw the bars (the most you can do is remove the code for the HP and SP bars, you can not change the AT Bar), you can however make a copy of the gradient bar you want and configure the Animated Gradient Bars script to use that.

Updated to Version 1.1 (A measly .1 update)

And Again...

Cleans up code (More for me than for you)

Cleaned up the Setup (everything is in one section)

You may now choose to use the hp/sp bars or not, but I have also included 14 new gradients to the gradients folder to use

You can use the simple escape command or have the attack/escape window (but it comes up at the start of battle and never again)
