[VX] RPG Tankentai Sideview Battle System 2.6 Translated + A

[psymastr]

2.7, doesn't fix the force action glitch.

This is the biggest help, EVER. I've needed a side-view battle system for so long and holy crap you've saved my life.

The only problem I'm having is that although the game itself runs fine, the RMVX Project won't open. When it tried, it says that is "Failed to load Actor Data". What does that mean? Any help? Please?

it seams like your data file for actors may be corrupt, past a new one from a separate project (back up your old one) and try that.  It might work it might not.

Thanks, I'll try it out now..

EDIT: Thanks! It works now!

OK, couple things...

1)  Enemies can sort of "USE" weapons.  What I did was set up a bunch of enemy skills that had an attack power of 1, 100% phys attack influence, and 20 variance.  Then I set up an animation and set up whether or not the skill is piercing, slashing, etc, etc.  Set the MP use to 0 and then adjust the config as to how to handle the animation.  That should help.

2)  ATB's are a pain in the *** to try to integrate into this.  I've messed with it, but given up on it.  Also, if you bring in an ATB, you will lose all your combo attacks.  Those rely on simultanious executions which an ATB would overwrite.

3)  The failed to load actor data...  does that have a line number or module?  And does it hit when you play test?  Dunno what exactly that will require, but I can take a peek at it.

OK, now my problem...
I use the KGC modules in combination with this system.  One of the systems I am trying to bring in is a stealing system they have.  Problem is, in the combat, my thief just sits there and does nothing.  No animation at all.  Either way, here's the code for it.  If anyone knows what the problem could be, I'd appreciate it!

#_/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#_/                        â—† Instructions For Usage â—†
#_/
#_/  Setup is simple. To assign a skill as a Steal skill, add the tag "<steal>"
#_/  (without quotations) into the "Note" box on the skill you choose in the

#_/  database, you enter <steal X:ID Probability %>

#_/  Where ID = The specified item, weapon, or armor's ID #, in the database
#_/            OR the amount of gold that can be stolen.
#_/  Where Probability % = The chance of the item being stolen.
#_/=============================================================================
#_/  Example: You have a bandit (enemy) who has a Long Sword and 100 gold you'd
#_/  like to be able to steal from him, at a 50% chance. Tag him with:
#_/    <steal W:2 50%>
#_/    <steal G:100 50%>
#_/  Simple, yes?

I've got another question, now that I've got the side-view battle system working on my end, I want to start using Minkoff's side-view battlers, and the only problem I'm running into is that I have no idea how to switch out the sprites.

Like, for example, I would use the main spritesheet that is the default for "Ralph" in RMVX, and use that for moving around in maps, but I need a way for the Ralph sprite to change into one of Minkoff's sprites during a battle, like the ones Kylock shows in the second image of his DEMO game.

All I need to know is how to switch out the sprites when you transfer from a map to the battle screen.. thanks!

First open up your script (SBS 2.6 Config)
Second on lines 111 & 133 change the numbers to 4 and 11
Third replace lines 170-183 with this code

  "WAIT"			=> [ 1,  0,  15,   0,   0,  -1,   0, true,"" ],
  "WAIT(FIXED)"	 => [ 1,  0,  10,   2,   0,   1,   0, true,"" ],
  "RIGHT(FIXED)"	=> [ 1,  5,  10,   1,   2,   1,   0, true,"" ],
  "DAMAGE"		  => [ 1,  9,   4,   2,   0,  -1,   0, true,"" ],
  "ATTACK_FAIL"	 => [ 1,  1,  10,   1,   8,   0,   0, true,"" ],
  "MOVE_TO"		 => [ 1,  4,   1,   1,   0,  -1,   0, true,"" ],
  "MOVE_AWAY"	   => [ 1,  5,   2,   1,   0,  -1,   0, true,"" ],
  "ABOVE_DISPLAY"   => [ 1,  0,   2,   1,   0,  -1, 600, true,"" ],
  "WPN_SWING_V"	 => [ 1,  6,   1,   2,   0,  -1,   2, true,""],
  "WPN_SWING_VL"	=> [ 1,  6,   1,   2,   0,  -1,   2, true,""],
  "WPN_SWING_VS"	=> [ 1,  6,   6,   2,   0,  -1,   2, true,""],
  "WPN_SWING_UNDER" => [ 1,  6,   2,   2,   0,  -1,   2, true,""],
  "WPN_SWING_OVER"  => [ 1,  6,   2,   2,   0,  -1,   2, true,""],
  "WPN_RAISED"	  => [ 1,  11,  2,   2,  28,  -1,   2, true,""],

fourth upload the animated battlers with the appropriate names (see first post).

Note: If you want the sprite to use the victory dance animation follow the following instructions.

1) On line 184 past this code

"Victory_Dance"	   => [ 1,  9,   2,   0,  28,  -1,   2, true,""],

2) replace line 240 with this code

  "VICTORY_JUMP"            => [  0,   0,   0, 300,   0,  0, "Victory_Dance"],

 

[tuti05]

for the animated battlers i'm noticing the fourth animation in the row wont show, that animation would be guard. and the item animation row i think its 10 wont show. Instead it's showing the first frame.

 

[Avgen]

Is it possible that you can post me a demo or give me the script where the bow/sword/club et.c isint in it (a.k.a animation)?

I'll post the correct line of code later to help you there

Is it possible that you can post me a demo or give me the script where the bow/sword/club et.c isint in it (a.k.a animation)?

you should be able to dissable or remove the animation, for the bow you can just not use the bow script that comes in the demo and for the sword/club you should just be able to remove them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the funny thing is that this is the only script that I can do somthing with.

 

[tuti05]

thanks let me know if you need anything from me to help

Hi! Need some help as I'm not experienced in these kind of things. I'm using this script, and everything works except this

so any help would be appreceated.
Thanks in advance!

dammit, no way implementig ATB uh? Never gonna give you up! (LAWL)

You need to export the charsets for the party members, then rename them and put a $ in font of the name. Each charset must be seprate. To insert it into the game use the resource tool.

Ok. Got it working now. Thanks for the help.

 

[Ghostxpo]

I implemented the Enemy animation script, I made both enemy requirement (actor, and enemy) or something, and during the fight all is well until the enemy attacks with either a skill or normal attack or anything, and it errors me.

Script 'Sideview 1' line 963: TypeError occured.
cannot convery Array into Integer

the line is this:

      @wait = $data_animations[anime_id].frame_max * 3 if $data_animations[anime_id] != nil && @active_action[4]
      waitflug = true

if anyone can help me out it would be very appreciated

do you have the two copies of the enemies images?

 

[NunoAle]

Ok, I'm sorry, I believed this has been asked before, but it's just a question:

Is it possible to have the animated enemies use weapon icons, like the animated battlers?

EDIT:

And another question:

Is it possible to have the bow animation show, afterwards, another animation?

For example:

I have a skill called (let's imagine) Ice Shot, that shows an ice atack, or something like that. Is it possible to have the bow + arrow show before it hits the enemy?

 

[Yazus]

so is NOT possible to have ATB in this script? Too bad :|
