Moonpearl’s Animated Battlers

One day I got tired of seeing stiff dolls clumsily bashing at each others, and I decided it was time to put some life in battles.

This script makes actors jump before attacking, move away when dodging, hurl foes in the air, scream in pains when struck, taunt their enemy, and much more.

• Lively animations
• Horizontal scrolling with camera and perspective effect
• Voice acting support
• Thoroughly customizable – create battle animations setting up various parameters (pose, jump/rush, range, knockback strength…) and freely bind them to weapons/skills/items
• Theoretically compatible with any battle systems that comply with RPG Maker XP’s base engine specifications

This work requires the scripts flagged as MP Scene_Base and MP Common bundled along with it in the demo. You should get them as well to have it work properly.

I put a great deal of efforts into the making of this script. Please comment if you like what you see!

Also please visit my blog to find future updates for this work, and other works of mine.

Since this script changes only the battles’ appearances, it should be compatible with any custom battle systems that are cleanly encoded.
