Simple Side-View

by Jet

 

Introduction

 

As an alternative to fully animated sprites and such, I made this very simple sideview

for those who just want sprites shown and a little extra flare in their battles.

 

Features

 

- Sprites on Screen

- Lots of customization

- Plug-n-play

- Compatible with my Battle Pop-Ups

- And More...

Nice. Thanks for porting it for me

[Knightmare 170]

Groovy my man. I always love me a flying slime but those heroes should probably get off that pipe before they break an arm.

Glad to see sideview is available for Ace =D

 

EDIT: Seems great, the only thing I would suggest though is the ability to change the direction the characters face.

The best feature you should add is to change it so the battle back is the same as the field. More or less, only ht ebattle HUD pops up and you fight directly on the map itself. It saves all the tedious map background making, and it's more original than most SBS's.

Where exactly I should paste this on the script editor?

[Dalrus 1]

Ok, got it

BTW Jet, thanks a lot!

 

PS: Sorry for the double post, Im new in this forum's thing, an admin could please delete my other post? Thanks

There is some compatibility issues with this and Yanfly's Input Combo script, but I've made a mod to fix that:

 

 

#==============================================================================
# This script fixes compatibility issues between Yanfly's Input Combo Skills
# script and Jet10985's sideview script.
#==============================================================================
class Scene_Battle
 #---
 def use_item(*args, &block)
#---
if @subject.is_a?(Game_Actor)
  #---
  if !@subject.current_action.guard?
	if !@has_moved
	  @subject.battle_sprite.move_x(11, -6)
	  @has_moved = true
	end
  end
  #---
end
#---
if !@subject.current_action.guard? && !@subject.current_action.attack?
  #---
  if @subject.current_action.item.is_a?(RPG::Item)
	n = $data_animations[Jet::Sideview::ITEM_ANIMATION]
  else
	n = $data_animations[Jet::Sideview::SKILL_ANIMATION]
  end
  #---
  @subject.battle_sprite.start_animation(n)
  wait_for_animation
  #---
end

	  if @has_moved
		@subject.battle_sprite.move_x(11, 6)
		@has_moved = false
	  end
	end
	#---
  end
  #---
end

 end
 #---
end

Spoilering script.

Hey Jet, is there a way to use characters as enemies?

[Jasonicus 62]

Just crop out the graphics and place in the battler folder.

[Dalrus 1]

Just crop out the graphics and place in the battler folder.

but they won't walk like the player party character's right?

[Jet 60]

@Dalrus: Don't double-post, you could've just edited the original one saying you fixed the problem. Also, I've been planning on expanding this anyways, but you'll just have to wait.

 

@Jason: I think he means he wants them as sprites that do all the walking too, so a static image wouldn't work.

 

@zerbu: Thanks. Hope you don't mind, but I put it into a codebox and spoilered it.

[Ally 13]

Thanks Jet for this simple script =)

[Warrior of Myth 0]

Hi Jet! Could you please provide a demo?

[Jet 60]

This script is plug-n-play, there is no need for a demo.

You just have to plug the script in and see how it works.

[Rosenblack 79]

I have only 1 character (2 for a bit) so having my battler up at the top of the screen is annoying and i tried to edit the x value from 80 to 200 it work for a second untill i attacked then this came up

 

Script 'Game_BattlerBase' line 722: TypeError occurred.

 

no implicit conversion from nil to integer

 

It works fine with 1 character but when two go in it crashes

 

could you please fix my problem

 

 

Original place

 

Change Place

 

 

[Ally 13]

Can be made transparent when the character is a step forward? Or make it completely invisible?

[pinka 7]

I noticed a problem, every time the battler uses a normal attack, it steps forward, but it doesn't get back to the starting position after attacking, it keeps moving forward little by little in the next attacks, causing the battler to step over the enemies xD

[Jet 60]

@Rosenblack and pinka: I cannot replicate either of your issues. Please make sure you have the most current version, and that you are not experiencing a compatibility issue with a different script you are using.

[Rosenblack 79]

ok, jet. stupid me for got to keep updating the script files I have on my computer, problem fixed.

[pinka 7]

I updated the script, and now the problem it's only the last sprite. In battle, you decide the action, the battler moves forward, but it doesn't get back to the initial position, causing the battler to go too far from it's initial position. I have Yanfly Battle installed as well, but i dont think that could really be the problem.

Look at the last battler position. This was taken after the second turn in battle, so that battler already made an action, but it didn't return to it's initial position, while all the others did. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[Genesis 0]

This scirpt it's awesome, nice work. i include it in my project, but I have the same problem of pinka, the battler is walking to front, and not backing after the action, i use the yanfly CBS also. And so i have one suggestion, what you think about include the icons of weapons in the animation of atack? like the another sbs, it's only one idea you know. well thanks for this, nice work man. and sorry for my english.

[RoseGuardian 42]

I like how this script looks. I can't wait to use it when the english version of RMVXAce is out.

[Kite 6]

man,I REALLY liked this battle system! grats!...btw,how do I give cred to someone?

[Swish 2]

Does someone know how to edit yanfly ace battle engine or Victor's damage popup engine so popups appears over these animated battlers?
