Increasing maximun party size?

Does anyone know if they can increase the maximum party size and having them appear in the deafault battle system in XP PK?

I found this to be a pretty useful script. It allows party changing also, but if you dont want that just make the max_battle size and max_party size the same number.

Note: It can be any amount of heroes(really, try like 50 its pretty awesome) But around 7 or 8 is when if your using gradients or anything the words just scramble together.

Party Control

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is basically a combination of my two scripts large party and party changing.
Meaning you can have as many people as you like in the party and choose how many take part in the battles, naturally it is game over if the battle party loses.

To use this script requires you to enter 2 numbers and either make the neccassary changes to spriteset battle or copy and paste the provided one.

First the main script.

Code: [Select]

Otherwise in spriteset battle find:

Code: [Select]

    @actor_sprites.push(Sprite_Battler.new(@viewport2))
    @actor_sprites.push(Sprite_Battler.new(@viewport2))
    @actor_sprites.push(Sprite_Battler.new(@viewport2))
    @actor_sprites.push(Sprite_Battler.new(@viewport2))

And replace it with:

Code: [Select]

    for i in 0...$game_party.max_party
      @actor_sprites.push(Sprite_Battler.new(@viewport2))
    end

Then find:

Code: [Select]

    @actor_sprites[0].battler = $game_party.actors[0]
    @actor_sprites[1].battler = $game_party.actors[1]
    @actor_sprites[2].battler = $game_party.actors[2]
    @actor_sprites[3].battler = $game_party.actors[3]

And replace it with:

Code: [Select]

    for i in 0...$game_party.max_party
      @actor_sprites[i].battler = $game_party.actors[i]
    end

And your done with this bit.






Ok now to use this script as I mentioned you have to pick two numbers.
At the top of the main script find

Code: [Select]

  Battle_Party_Size = 5
  Max_Party_Size = 10

That means 5 people are in a battle and upto 10 in the party.
So change the 5 to however many people will be taking part in the battle and the 10 to the maximum party size.
So enjoy this script

It isn't work me man? is that allright or I'm the one who failed copying it?

thx with the code, I need it, so, I will loking for your answer

Bai Bai

No matter how hard I try, I can't make it work!!!

I need to paste overwrite the main codes or under the main codes?

(sorry, double post ñ.ñ)

Slightly offtopic, but edit posts next time instead of double-posting

ok first script place under all others. Second script, you place under spriteset_battle OR replace the script with the other code.

YAP!! It's working n_n I found my mistake ñ.ñ

But, I have a problem, there are 6 members on battle, the 5th & 6th members don't show the action box

What can I do?

hmm really? Works fine for me, if your using something besides default or have an edited default battle system it might not work.

nop, there is an special script for that, if there is, please, quote the code for me here.

Any way to increase the max battle party size past 6? I always thought it was kinda silly that a 8+ party would only have 3 or 4 people fighting. What are the others doing? Cheering? Getting drunk? Placing bets on the winner? lol Having more than 6 may not be practical but I'd like to at least see how it works out.

Seems broken to me. When the battlers reach 0 hp their battler graphic fades but they can still be selected to attack. Also it makes all character stats (hp, mp etc) in the main menu and in the battle interface dissapear. Anyone have a better version of this?

Edit: Found an excellent script for having a bigger party but doesn't include increasing the size of the battle party which is something I'd like to do.

I just tried using this script, but I seem to be having a problem. I have six characters in my party, but during battle the sixth member doesn't appear, and I can't see the HP/SP of the 5th member. Does anyone know what I need to do?
