Scene Battle ReDux

WARNING: THIS SCRIPT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CUSTOM BATTLE SYSTEMS!

This is actually more or less a “full” version of Scene Battle. It overwrites the whole thing practically and constructs it in a more efficient manner. But other than that, it’s nothing more than a controllable and edittable version of your usual default battle system. This rewrite includes a couple of new features that I thought should have been options for the default battle system but you’re also capable of ignoring these new features should you desire.

COMMON FUNCTIONS
Since some people would like to create their own custom effects now and then at regular intervals, there are four common events now associated and played during battle. One common event will occur at the start of every battle, one will occur at the beginning of each turn, and one will occur at the end of each turn, and the final will occur at the end of each battle.

BATTLE MESSAGE REDUX
For those that would like to keep their party’s status window intact, enable the battle message redux to show battle messages at the top of the screen. The status window is then commanded to update whenever an actor undergoes a change in damage, MP usage, or a status change.

BATTLE POPUPS
Like most modern RPG’s, whenever a battler would take damage, healing, receive a status effect, or something unique happens, a popup would appear describing what changes occured over the battler’s head.

TEXT SKIPPING
With battle popups, some text displayed during battle becomes insignificant and actually pointless to keep around. You can now choose what text to hide and what should be shown. It’s all in your control now.

ACTOR ANIMATION LOCATIONS
Before, enemies never played animations on actors before. You would hear the sound effect and then see the screen shake. Now, it’s a little different. You can set the X and Y coordinates of where you want your actors to “appear” and animations will be played there instead.

And once again, this script is nothing more than an edittable and customizable default battle system. Do not confuse this for an advanced battle system.

HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT

This script isn’t hard to use but rather, requires you to actually pay attention to how you would like the settings to turn out.

———

When installing the script, make sure you place the script below the fixes but above the rest of the Yanfly Engine ReDux scripts. If you list your scripts like the VX page does it, you’ll be fine.

It’s not impossible to make a common event run at the start of each battle, start of each turn, end of each turn, and end of each battle without the script. However, it gets rather tedious making all of those extra pages in the troops tab. This will help cut down the tediousness by allowing you to bind 4 common events (one to run at each of the preforementioned instances) throughout battle.

COMMON_EVENT_START_BAT
COMMON_EVENT_TURN_BEGIN
COMMON_EVENT_TURN_CLOSE
COMMON_EVENT_END_BATTLE
Insert the ID’s of the common events that you want to run.

If Battle Message ReDux is enabled, rather than having a large message window cover up your actors (all of this is courtesy of the STR script and full credits to go STR for providing the base code for me to reference off of.), it’ll push the messages to the top where they will not hinder the party’s status window from being shown. The message window by default will display the active battler’s current actions. Damage messages, state messages, missing, evading, those messages have been turned off (although you may turn them back on) due to popups replacing them.

———

For those who would like to make their own custom popups and create new “rules” for them, you can do so with this hash. Here, you can change their font size, their popup height, bolded, italicized, colour, and font. For those who script and would like to know how to create their own custom popups for their skills, just refer to the Lunatic mode section inside the script.

———

Animations are also now played on actors. Before, they weren’t due to the fact that actors weren’t given a sprite on the field. Well, now, actors kinda have one (although not really). They have a designated X and Y coordinate that you can set for yourself, too.
