Introduction
This CBS supports front and side view positions (possibly more if you work with the script), included with the CBS is my Animated Battlers script, and my Battle Formation System. This is still in a beta state, but almost all of the features I planned for the first version are done and the script is in a "presentable" state. This script is also SDK compliant. (was originally a Front View Battle System)
Copy all of the scripts from the demo above main but below the SDK, The Options can be configured in the script Master Options List The options are pretty self-explanatory since these lines are commented.

Notes: Frames, Zoom level, and Opacity
the format for their hashes are
{file => value, file => value, ...} (the ... means going on and on)
where file is the name of the battler to set a default for the whole sprite
or file_(pose) to the the value for that pose, yes this allows for multiple frames per battler, I'll talk about the different poses later (see template).
Battle Formations
This is the probably the core of this script along with the animated battlers, since this sets the battlers position in battle I have came up with a few formations that I included in the demo, lets take a look at the data structure.
#============================================================================
# Free Fight Formation
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description:
# Default Formation. Note: The First Formation must support 1 to the the maximum number
# of Actors in your party
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Appearance:
#
# For One Actor Party
#
#
# 1
# For Two Actor Party
#
#
# 2 3
# For Three Actor Party
#
#
# 1 2 3
# For Four Actor Party
#
#
# 1 2 3 4
#============================================================================
Names << "Free Fight"
Number_Members << '1-4'
Front_Row << []
Middle_Row << []
Back_Row << [0,1,2,3]
Screen_X << "(4 - $game_party.actors.size) * 80 + index * 160 + 80"
Screen_Y << "452"
Effects << {}
Description << "The Default Formation"
Names
is a String and is the name of the formation
Number of Members
is a Special String (A Range String) which may be setup like so "n, a-b, ^n"' Entries are separated by commas (n, a, and b are Integers)
the first adds n to the range, the second adds a-b to the range, and the last deletes n from the range
Examples
"1-3" will result in numbers 1, 2 and 3
"4" will result in the number 4
"^7" will result in nothing (which will propably result in a bug later)
"1-5, 7" will result in the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, and 7
"4-7, ^6" will result in the numbers 4,5,7
"7, ^7" will result in nothing
"1-10, ^4, 16, 11-12" will result with 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, and 16
Number Members is the number of members allowable in the formation if the number of numbers is not included in the numbers formed a formation break occurs (The Formation is Broken and will go to the default formation)
Note: The Default (First) Formation must support the 1 to the maximum number of people in the party or else you will receive an error
Front Row, Middle Row, and Back Row
These sets the row the actor is on, The classes Position variable was
replaced with this. Also influences who the enemy attacks. (use 0 for
the first member in the party 1 for the second and so on)
Screen_X and Screen_Y
This can either be a String (holds the formula) or a Hash (appoints the
positions by member index here are two pictures to help you with that.
Here is a good example it places the four battlers in positions forming a square (Go on ahead scribble on the pictures to get a good look at this example)
Screen_X << {0 => 240, 1 => 320, 2 => 240, 3 => 320}
Screen_Y << {0 => 388, 1 => 388, 2 => 452, 3 => 452}
Effects
Here comes the fun part, you get to decide on stat bonuses and other effects of using this formation. It is a Special String (Increaser String) setup like so {, }
where index is an index of a party member, all is for every party member
and row type is either front, middle, or back for their respective rows
effects is a string setup like so ":<*/-+><*/-+>..., ..."
is one of the stats (maxhp, maxsp, str, dex, agi, int, pdef, mdef, eva, atk) or damage for now, obviously <*/-+> is an operator and and an integer
so {0 => "atk:*3+40,maxhp:+50,maxsp:+40", 'front' => 'damage:*2', 'back' => 'damage:/2'} will..
Raise Party members 1's 3 times and adds 40, Raises Maximum Hp by 50, and Maximum Sp by 40
Anyone in Front Row Damage is increased by twice as much
Anyone in Back Row Damage is reduced by Half
Description
self-explanatory, press shift in Scene_Formation to display it, which utilizes my draw text scripting tool see this topic for information on how to use it
But really if you don't get any of these then check the demo for examples
Using Formations
By Default Every Formation is Disabled and will not appear in Scene_Formation (I did this to prevent formations that give uber bonuses to be gained later in the game), To enable a formation do this.
and it will appear in the Formation list in Scene_Formation, provided if the correct number of party members are in the party.
Templates
There are two templates for this CBS but only one of them is required (movement template for enemies) (you'll get better results if you use both), The First Template is the movement template, just look at any characterset for the template (Down Facing, Left Facing, Right Facing, Up Facing).
You may remove down and up facing (leaving a blank space for the poses) if you plan to use this as a side-view battle system, if you edit the options correctly you can allow for eight movement poses (or you can wait for an update), If the movement template is not found (for actors loads their characterset, for enemies you will recieve an error) the movement template file must be named (battler_name) + _movement (ex. name_movement)
where battler_name is in lowercase and all spaces replaced with underscores "_"
Exceptions
If you name a file (battler_name) + one of the pose names (see template) then that file will be loaded and the one from the template (if found) will be removed, this is similiar to how ccoa's CBS loads battlers
Conversions
You can use the other templates in this battle system (Minkoff's and Cybersams (You just have rename the battlers used from ccoa's), and you may configure a custom template (not completed)), but they must be named specially. For Minkoff its (battler_name) + _default + _m, for Cybersam its (battler_name) + _default + _c, and for custom templates (Supports 3 Custom Templates) its (battler_name) + _default + _c(1 2 or 3). This Also loads the movement poses from the templates (loading from cybersam's requires flipping the move to enemy pose).
Last Feature
If the Upper Left Pixel on a Pose is Black (0,0,0) then it will load the default for that pose (see Second Template Not Found), you shouldn't use black as a transparent color. since the script will get confused and load the default when you didn't want it to. (If anything I've added a debug method called test, call it in a call script to see each pose for the battler), here it is just add it in a new script above main and do test() where is a Game_Battler object ($game_party.actors[0], $game_actors[4])
Code:
def test(battler)
array = ['down','left','right','up','command','ready','attack','skill','defend','item',
'damaged','status','death','victory']
sprite = Sprite.new
poses = RPG::Poses.new(battler)
for i in 0...14
sprite.bitmap = poses[array[i]].bitmap
p array[i]
end
end
Change to Side View
Ctrl+Shift+F is your Friend
Code:
# The View Style Front or Side for now (for movement)
@view_style = 'side'
Code:
# Command Pose Direction (Character sets)
@command_direction = 'left'
# Victory Pose Direction (Character sets)
@victory_direction = 'left'
# Other Poses Direction (Character sets)
@other_direction = {'Game_Actor' => 'left', 'Game_Enemy' => 'right'}

Hey, I posted this publicly. You can use it. What do you expect? But if you do use it, I do expect you to spell my name correctly in your game. And yes you can use it in commercial games too.
Introduction
This script allows you to play the mini game BlackJack in rmxp. I'm pretty sure everyone knows the rules for this game, but the objective is to get close to 21 without going over. Aces are worth 1 or 11 and all face cards are worth 10. If you get an Ace + (10|face card) it is considered BlackJack and you get 2.5 times your bet.
Features
Animated Dealing
Double Command (Doubles your Bet - Draw one hard - and stands)
Two Different AI's (Hit on 16 Stand on 17 - Hits when Advantageous Risk Taker)
Easily Customizable (Choose Number of Decks used, min and max bet, etc)
Script
No Thanks I prefer not to save families, too long too complicated, too much of a hassle to update when bugs are found.
Instructions
Add this in a new script above main, see the Game_System section for changable options and the Setup Script for System Settings

Author's Notes
The Data structure classes are reusable feel free to use them. I encourage some of the scripters here to use them to make more card mini games. In fact I would love to see that happen :D.
Next version will include Splitting (If you get two cards of the same value you can split into two hands), and other features I've seen in various BlackJack variations.

Hey, I posted this publicly. You can use it. What do you expect? But if you do use it, I do expect you to spell my name correctly in your game. And yes you can use it in commercial games too.
Instructions
To add this to your project
1) Copy the Five scripts (Scene_Panel(1-3) Scene_Result Window_Result)
2) Note the changes I've made in class Game_System)
3) In a call script event command see using this script
4) If you did it correctly then you will be playing the minigame
5) If not then take a look at how I did it in the demo (Before bugging me)
Tutorial mode
$scene = Scene_PanelAttack.new(special, false, 1, 100, 5, false, type)
or
$scene = Scene_PanelAttack.new(special, false)
where special is the number in Scene_PanelAttack 3 that correspond to the panels you want
and type is the mode that will appear in the Results Window if you use the second one the Standard will appear as the mode
Endless mode
$scene = Scene_PanelAttack.new(nil, true, speed, inc_speed, colors, false, type)
speed is the starting speed
inc_speed is the number of panels needed to clear before speed increase
colors is the number of colors
type is the name of the mode that will appear in the results window
Timed mode
$scene = Scene_PanelAttack.new(nil, true, speed, inc_speed, colors, true, type)
where the time_left is stored in $game_system.time_left
speed is the starting speed
inc_speed is the number of panels needed to clear before speed increase
colors is the number of colors
type is the name of the mode that will appear in the results window
Extra Stuff
Music is stored in $game_system.music
Background is stored in $game_system.background
Panels is stored in $game_system.panels

Introduction
This is a new bestiary script based on the Scan Window I created for my Stealing/Mugging/Scanning script. It works both with or without that script (Although the secondary and rare items will appear if you use it in conjunction with that script). It also shows Enemy Hp, Sp, Stats, Enemy Weaknesses and Resistance Elements, Number of times Encontered, Number of times Killed, Maps Found, and a Description.
Script
Sorry the families should not be looking at a Bestiary
Instructions
Add above main
See the Setup Script, its pretty much self-explanatory

Introduction
This is a fairly simple script that allows you to display an animation at any (x,y) instead of at an event or the player. This means no more blank events just to be used for the show animation event command. If used correctly you can have a smoke effect to chimneys, etc. You may also choose to have the animation loop a certain amount of times or infinite. This Script can be easily implemented into a scene so you can have animations playing in that scene. You may also choose to disable the sounds with the animation. This also allows you to show an animation at an event or the player and specify x and y offset from their coordinate.
Screenshots
Yeah go to the Animations tab in the database and look at the animations there, play them a few times. There is your screenshot.
Script
Families?, what Families?, because I'm not saving them so you might as well say goodbye to them
type is the type of animation use either 1,2,3 or 'screen','tile','map'
1 or 'screen' follows the player it stays on the screen
2 or 'tile' stays at a particular tile (x,y)
3 or 'map' stays at a particular position (x,y) on the map
4 or 'player' follows the player (x,y) defines the offset
5 or 'event' follows an event (use x parameter for id and [x,y] for offset)
id is the animation id to play
Optional loop is the number of times to play the animation.
Set this to nil an the animation plays forever, otherwise the default value is 1
sound set to true and you will hear the animation's sounds
Set this to false and the sounds will not play, otherwise the default value is true
viewport is the animations viewport the default is the whole screen
If you want animations in your scene just add this to the update method (Note: You can only use type 1 or 'screen' when in a Scene other than Scene_Map)

Introduction
This is a fairly advanced script that allows some of the party members in battle to be controlled by an algorithm I made up. The system may still have a few hiccups. The algorithm is setup up to ten different variables aggressiveness, magic_casting, item_using, supportive, defensiveness, intelligence, cautiousness, laziness, cowardice, and strategist. The script also comes with an implementation AutoBattle command which just runs the algorithm and chooses the action for you
Instructions
See Setup Section everything is explained there.
Note this: Some of the variables are not meant to be set to 20 (cautiousness for one)
Compatibility
May be incompatible with your battle system
SDK 2.x compliant
Any Battle Addons Like Overdrive Systems and Skill Effects will not be taken into consideration in the AI formula

Instroduction
This script is the Ip System featured in Lufia 2. This system can be explained like so: The Heros have another stat ip. This stat grows (depending upon damage taken) whenever a character is attacked. When a character dies their ip goes back to zero. Ip (Ikari/Item Points) allows you to execute an ip skill. The Ip Skills you have are determined by what weapons/armor you have equipped. Not all equipment has a skill associated with it. Whenever you execute an IP skill your Ip drops depending on how much ip the skill requires.
This script is also part of my CBS
This version allows your ip bar to grow in 20 different styles instead of just being damaged, see the demo for more information.

Introduction
A completely rewritten version of my Skill Scope Library and Hero/Enemy/Single/All Target Switching, The Skill Scope Library builds upon the default scopes (None, One Enemy, All Enemies, ...), and adds new ones (Random Ally, All Enemies and Allies, All Enemies and the User), and the Hero/Enemy Target Switching allows you to switch targets in battle (from enemies to allies and single to all targets).

Initial Setup
If using Seph's Dynamic Enemies set that up
Create a new element and call it overide scope In the script Setup set this to the id of the element you just created:
Code:
Overidden_Scope_Element = 17[/code[
[b]Tagging Scopes[/b]
To Tag a scope to a item/weapon/skill, set the element which you created above to the skill/weapon/items in question
In the description of the item/weapon/skill enter one of these codes depending on which scope you want. Use the first five characters, there is no space between the code and the Description
[list][*]scop0 - None
[*]scop1 - One Enemy
[*]scop2 - All Enemies
[*]scop3 - One Ally
[*]scop4 - All Allies
[*]scop5 - One Ally Hp0

[b]Tagging Scopes to Enemies[/b]
To Tag a scope to the enemy see the Script Setup
[Code]Enemy_Scopes = {3 => 'scop2'}[/b]
The format for this hash is {enemy_id => scope, enemy_id => scope, ...}
where enemy id this the id of the enemy and scope is one of the scopes above (This is where scopes 1-8 on the list are useful, you can alternatively just use 0-7 for these scopes) So now you may have an enemy that attacks all heroes, or just attacks itself :P
[b]Disabling[/b]
Again refer to the setup script take note to this section
[code] #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Hero Enemy Switch syntax id => (bool) [true: enable false: disable]
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hero_Enemy_Switch_Weapons = {}
Hero_Enemy_Switch_Skills = {15 => false}
Hero_Enemy_Switch_Items = {1 => false}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Defaults for Hero Enemy Switch [true: enable false: disable]
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hero_Enemy_Switch_Weapons.default = true
Hero_Enemy_Switch_Skills.default = true
Hero_Enemy_Switch_Items.default = true
The first section disables/enables Hero Enemy Target Switching for weapon/skills/items just enter the id of the object in question and enter true to enable or false to disable. The second part sets the default which everything not defined is enabled. From the default setup:
Skill id 15 or Mass Thunder can't be switched from All Enemies to All Heroes. It can only be switched from all enemies to a enemy
Item id 1 or Potion can't be switched from All Enemies to All Heroes. It can only be switched from all heroes to a hero.
Everything else can be switched from Heroes/Enemies since the default is true
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Single All Switch syntax id => (bool) [true: enable false: disable]
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single_All_Switch_Weapons = {1 => false}
Single_All_Switch_Skills = {}
Single_All_Switch_Items = {1 => false}
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Defaults for Single All Switch [true: enable false: disable]
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Single_All_Switch_Weapons.default = true
Single_All_Switch_Skills.default = true
Single_All_Switch_Items.default = true[/list]
The first section disables/enables Single/All Target Switching for weapon/skills/items just enter the id of the object in question and enter true to enable or false to disable. The second part sets the default which everything not defined is enabled. From the default setup:
[list][*]Weapon id 1 or Bronze Sword can't be switched from All to Single. It can only be switched from a enemy to a hero
[*]Item id 1 or Potion can't be switched from All Enemies to All Heroes. It can only be switched from an enemy to a hero, but since Hero/Enemy Switching is also disabled there is no switching at all, it is fixed at a single hero.
[*]Everything else can be switched from Single/All since the default is true[/list]
This section deals with the damage multiplier when you switch from a single to all target if the flag for the object here is true then the damage will be split up by the number of targets.
Other Stuff
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Show Enemy Hp
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Show_Enemy_Hp = true
In the target window if this is true then enemy hp will be shown. If false it will not show.
[Code] #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Advanced - Phase 3 Selection Windows syntax: variable => method
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selection_Windows = {}[/list]
This is an "in case something goes screwy" option if you see a window not disappearing after selection is complete then you need to setup this option the syntax is variable of the window => end_method. This option increases compatibility if used correctly since you may have some other windows used for selection or in the selection process.
Compatibility
As this script completely rewrites the whole scope/targetting system, there is sure to be some incompatibility, there is also a change to make_basic_action_result_attack to flatten the array of battlers to prevent errors
SDK compliant
If using my Multi-View Battle System, this script should be compatible except for the one change to make_basic_action_result_attack, which could not be aliased, if you put that one script above the CBS then it should work, also there will be an extra addon for this script, dealing with the formation system + this script, which will add a few more scopes Row, Column, and allowing to attack rows more in front before attacking backer rows

Terms and Conditions
Hey, I posted this publicly. You can use it. What do you expect? But if you do use it, I do expect you to spell my name correctly in your game. And yes you can use it in commercial games too.
Introduction
This script allows you greater control over the commands that show up in battle. It also allows you to define the names of the Attack, Skill, Item, and Defend and allows you to create new commands. This script also works with my Bag of Battle Commands allowing you to create more diverse commands. This script also has the functionality of commands being learned at a certain level (class or actor), or learning a command when a certain item is equipped, or by a condition in battle.
Features
Individual Battle Commands
Make commands depend on ammo
Make commands learnable by level, weapon, armor, condition
Make commands that link to a skill/common event
Make commands that have a subset of the actor's skills
Make commands have their own skill set
Make commands which name depends on the actor
Make commands which have their own icon/description/help text
Instructions
Copy the scripts form the demo to your project. Also Copy the file BattleCommands.rxdata from the data folder of the demo to the data folder of your project. You can edit the Command Properties by opening the file in Notepad. Instructions are also given in the file
In the script Setup you can define the Actor's starting commands. Again Instructions are given
If you downloaded the non text file version you must download my Command editor program - The Database. In addition you may need to install ruby to get this to work. For more info see the read me file.
