Animated Battlers - Comprehensive
Version 1.0

Title Art by LunarBerry

Introduction
This script adapts front-view battle systems (like the default battle system, or the RTAB system), and turns it into a side-view battle system. Battlers can bob and weave while waiting to attack, charge forward to attack, and strike a victory pose when they win.

Original Demo(with the old 10-pose system)
The earliest version by Minkoff (w/ RTAB) that I know


With the Battle Animations 'Flip' system
Another system that literally 'flips' the battle animations horizontally and/or vertically.




Instructions
Please refer to the following manual (in .chm help format) now available for download.
>Help File Manual<
If you are having problems reading the help file (the AnimBat.chm), follow these steps...

1. Right-Click the AnimBat.chm
2. Select Properties
3. Click the Unblock button at the bottom of the Properties dialog (above the OK and Cancel buttons)
4. You should now be able to read the CHM file.




Pre-Rendered Configs
The demo and the scripts above show how to generate a system that uses multiple types of spritesheets and RTP battlers. Below are two configuration files you may wish to use in it's place.
Minkoff Configuration ... the typical Minkoff system without any extra.
Cybersam Configuration ... a configuration system for Cybersam's 7-pose system.
Charset Configuration ... a configuration system to use Charactersets for battlers.
Holder Configuration ... a 13-pose system designed by Holder.
RM2K3 Styled Configuration ... based on RPGMaker 2003's style, but after formed into a single 1-row sheet.
RMMV Styled Configuration ... based on RPGMaker MV's style, but after formed into a single 1-row sheet.



The Formation System
Removed from Animated Battlers is the formation system. A new one (roughly similar in nature to Claihm's system) is available below if you want to make custom battle formations.

#    Animated Battler Formations
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    by DerVVulfman
#    version 1.0
#    11-22-2018 (MM-DD-YYYY)
#    RGSS / RPGMaker XP
#============================================================================== 
#
#  INTRODUCTION:
#
#  It has been a  long time coming  in that I  wanted to  replace the  built-in 
#  formation system I hardwired into  "Minkoff's Animated Battlers - Enhanced",
#  and finally that time has arrived.  While the base system now has the origi-
#  ginal single formation,  it is by  this system  the end user  can design the
#  battle formations  for the actor battlers.   They will start out  and remain
#  lined up in the order the end user sets up.
#
#  The system recognizes the  'Mirror Effect'  system  in Animated Battlers XP,
#  and will adjust and reverse the battler positions accordingly.  You need not
#  worry about  creating duplicate  formation entries  for both left  and right
#  sided formations.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  
#  CREATING THE FORMATIONS:
#
#  This system allows you to create multiple formations.   This is accomplished
#  by the way you use the 'ABATXP_FORMATION' array.  The syntax is as follows:
#
#  ABATXP_FORMATION = { id => [ formation set ], id => [formation set],... }
#
#  So...  with that,  you can make  multiple sets  of formations  which you can
#  switch to while the game is running..
#
#  Now...  each formation set holds the x and y position for each actor battler
#  in combat.  Not by their 'Actor ID' mind you,  merely by party member order.
#  So the first member in your party,regardless of their position in your actor
#  database, will be first battler position defined in the formation set.  The
#  layout for each formation set is as follows:
#
#             [ [Battler 1's X & Y], [Battler 2's X & Y],... ]
#
#  Most people would set a formation set with allowances for 4 battlers. But if
#  you wanted to use a large party script  to increase the number of members in
#  your battle party, you can add more than 4 battler arrays like so:
#
#  ...ON = { 0 => [ [350,200], [395,235], [440,270], [485,305], [530,340] ],
#            1 => [ [530,200], [485,235], [440,275], [395,305], [350,340] ]  }
#  
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  SCRIPT CALL:
#
#  There's only one script call you should be familiar with right now, and that
#  is the script call that changes the formation you want to use in battle.  By
#  default, the system uses the formation set by ID #0.  But you can change the
#  formation being used with the following call:
#
#
#  The call is simple:  $game_system.abatxp_form_id = number
#
#  Where the number is the ID number of your formation.  That's it.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  NOTE:
#
#  While designed and intended for use with Animated Battlers VX,  it can be
#  used with only the Actor Battler Graphics script to change the basic for-
#  mation of  the heroes.   With this,  you can make  a very simple sideview
#  system... just not animated.

The Window Depth Adjuster
The battlers in this system tend to draw themselves over the battlesystem's command windows. This patch can fix this for you.

#  INTRODUCTION:
#
#  This is a simple script addition  that lets the game developer (you) set the
#  depth perspective of the battlesystem's windows. Under normal circumstances,
#  the Item, Skill, and other windows appear behind the Animated Battlers. This
#  add-on patch lets you adjust the depth of the windows as you see fit.
#
#  It's pretty simple.  If you're creating your own battlesystem with this as
#  a basis, you can use these simple calls on your own.  ^_^

Awards and Badges
A few awards of note for Animated Battlers
[spoiler=Honorary Awards for Spritesheet Artists]

Compatibility
This side-view battler script was designed to work with both, the default battle system AND the RTAB system. It was also instrumental in making Charlie Fleed's CTB. And it apparently works with a whole host of others ranging from ParaDog's and the XRXS systems and those by Trickster. But I cannot account for it working with any other systems.

[Makamura 0]

may I ask? is there a way while using the Formation Script ,to load the X,Y from a variable?

[DerVVulfman 3]

Actually no.

 

You can define a number of various formations for your game if you wish and change them by a script call for what formation you're wishing to use. However, you cannot set an X,Y,Z to a specific actor in-game.

 

Z-Depth is pretty much a copy of the Y position, so setting a Z-depth iwouldn;t have been necessary. The lower the Y position, the larger the Z Depth value and thus the closer to the player visually.

[sasuke101252 0]

can u give me the complete script and tell me how to put it in rpg maker xp?

[DerVVulfman 3]

Sorry for the late responce. As you may guess (as an admin elsewhere) ... I keep occupied. There's that and Christmas present wrapping doesn't help matters much.

 

You ask for the complete script. Please look in the first post. The complete script is available in the various links, from the intro and config scripts to the battle, Misc and RTAB patch scripts.

 

Paste each part below Scene_Debug and above Main in your script editor, with the exception of the RTAB patch (part 6)... unless you're running the RTAB battlesystem. Configure as needed.

 

If you want to see it in action though, please note that there are 12 actual demos in the demo spoiler.

Does anyone know if you can disable character sprite animation for actor 2, Basil?

I can't seem to get the 11 pose animation sprites to work for this character and I'm not seeing how the code fixes actor 2 for the character spritesheet.

Easy fix is to just not use actor 2 slot it's just bugging me that I can't find what's making it stay with those sprites only.

[black mage 28]

@jcc123

I'd love help checking the problem. However, as we all can see, most (if not all) of the link listed on the first post are dead. I'd be grateful if anyone could reupload the script again (organize it on a new thread, even) so we can have some materials to discuss.

[Marked 197]

There should be a copy on Creation Asylum somewhere.... DerVVulfman still hangs around there last time I checked (although that was a long time ago). 

[black mage 28]

Whoa, you're right, Marked. Went to the asylum and I'm not only found the copy but the fact that DerVVulfman is still alive there.

 

Here's the thread:

Minkoff's Animated Battlers - Enhanced

 

It contains most (if not all) of the stuff from the original post in this thread, but with an active link. I'll check them later after going home.

[Marked 197]

Yeah, I've been around too long.

[black mage 28]

Yeah, I've been around too long.

Perhaps you belong to a museum XD. JK

Have you tried to emptying these brackets?

MNK_POSES_ACTOR = {2 => 4}

MNK_APOSE1   =   {2 => 2} 
MNK_APOSE2   =   {2 => 2}   
MNK_APOSE3   =   {2 => 2}
MNK_APOSE4   =   {2 => 2}
MNK_APOSE5   =   {2 => 2}
MNK_APOSE6   =   {2 => 3} 
MNK_APOSE7   =   {2 => 2} 
MNK_APOSE8   =   {2 => 2} 
MNK_APOSE9   =   {2 => 2} 
MNK_APOSE10  =   {2 => 2}
MNK_APOSE11  =   {2 => 2}

The hashes inside the brackets are the configuration to make Basil use charset graphic as a battler, thus I suspect that it contribute to the problem.

[DerVVulfman 3]

DEARLY BELOVED.  WE ARE GATHERED HERE TO GET THROUGH THIS THING CALLED LIFE. - Prince

 

This topic will SEVERLY be changed and altered as a totally new version will replace this.  New features will be:

1) Configuration page now broken into three.  All post handling (a main focus) will be on its own separate page and easier to understand.

2) Compatibility with Blizzard's Soul Rage v 6.1+

3) NEW Step Casting option (battler steps forward 'before' starting the chanting pose)

4) NEW Victim Delay feature (useful in ATBs so victims stop for an attacker)

5) Totally rewritten help file

 

 

Changes in the POSE section:

This just covers an individual actor... this being for the 1st and 2nd pose.

MNK_APOSE1 = {2 => 2}
MNK_APOSE2 = {2 => 2}

NEW:

 

The [0] denotes all battlers (no ID)

POSE_01[0]   = 1
POSE_02[0]   = 1

THIS denotes Actor battler #2 ([2]), while a negative key (like [-9]) would be for an enemy like the Zombie.

POSE_01[2]   = 2
POSE_02[2]   = 2
. . . 

But you can still use braces to hold multiple hash values like so (here covering both actor #2 and enemy #9):

POSE_01   = {2 => 2, -9 => 5 }
POSE_02   = {2 => 2, -9 => 4 }

The help file will be a lot more helpful.  I've had a few test reads already.  The last one read like an instruction manual for a 1970's ham radio.

[Marked 197]

Thanks DerVVulfman! You have a very rare dedication. 

[DerVVulfman 3]

This is more than a conventional bump.
 

This is a rebranding!

"Minkoff's Animated Battlers - Enhanced" has gone through a system rewrite and has now been rebranded as AnimBat!  Version 1.0

Reorganized and with many scripts within rewritten, it should come as no surprise that this system now uses  "THREE" configuration scripts.  Broken into three, the end user can now focus on what he/she wishes to tweak.

The system has a more in-depth and accurate method to detect the battlesystems in use.  This should cut down on possible errors.

There were a number of bugs in the system that were not reported, be it a z-Depth issue involving attacker/victim overlapping or enemies not properly vanishing if they were meant to escape.

Some patches were put into place that actively benefited other battlesystems, such as attack cancellations with Fomar0153's Action Cost system.

For those who still use the RTAB system by cogwheel, there is no longer any need to employ a separate script to bypass his native camera pan/zoom feature.  It is natively disabled by AnimBat!  And likewise, there is no longer a separate RTAB patch as Minkoff's Animated Battlers previously required.

Meanwhile, new features have been added.

There's been many requests to allow battlers to step forward from their group to begin chanting spells.  An enhancement to a feature where a hero or enemy must spend some time to get a skill ready for action, you have always had an option to make the character go through some form of active pose.  Now, you can have the character step forward before he or she even begins to chant a spell.

For some time, the battlers could move to the center of the screen to perform a special attack.  This, a feature that the game developer would need to code.  But Alistor of HBGames and Save-Point.Org requested that the attacker could stay verically lined up with their target when moving to the center of the battlefield.  So yep, it's been added.

Easy enouth to add was a battler death feature by hanetzer.  In essence, he wanted it so one could assign the traditional 'collapse' death to certain battlers while others would still use the Minkoff/Cybersam styled dead-pose animations.

And a long-awaited feature for those who use scripts that allow multiple weapon attacks.  Battlers who use two or more weapons do not return to their formation until they have finished their attack.  If a hero has two weapons, he doesn't run up to a ghost and slash with the first and return to his group, only to run back on the field for the second weapon swipe.   This feature is compatible with Guillaume777's Multi Slot Equipment Script, Fomar0153's Two Weapons, and DerVVulfman's MultiSlots!
