Minkoff's Battle System script help

Hi, I am kind of new, and don't have much experience with scripting, but I want this battle system. For all those who can help, thank you very much for you time.

Here is a video of what I was looking for....

Here is a copy of the config script (the only things i edited were the default actor / enemy from false to true where I'm still using default RTP battlers). I have all 5 of the 5 categories all inside their own folder, all above main, below everything else.

# The first value in each set indicates the index number in a spritesheet.
# This value is overrided by a value in one of the other two accompanying
# arrays... one for actor battlerss, the other for enemy battlers.
#
# To define a pose linked to a specific battler, the syntax is...
# '' hash array '' = { battler.id => pose# }
# Where Aluxes and the Ghost (RTP) would be the 1st battlers (per array),
# and the pose# would be the pose in your spritesheet.
#
# Combinations in the hash arrays are possible, so if the MNK_POSES_DYING_E
# array has {1 => 5, 9 => 2}, then the GHOST (enemy #1) would be using the
# 6th pose (index 5) and the 9th enemy battler would be using the 3rd pose.

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------

# otherwise, and the pose it brings up. These mimic the 2nd array type in
# the above Non-Default poses. As such, a hash value of {1 => 10) for the
# MNK_POSES_WEAPONS hash would make the 'Bronze Sword' use the 10th index (or
# 11th spritesheet) pose... aka the 'Defeat' pose.
#
# To define an advanced pose linked to a specific battler, the syntax is...
# = { battler.id => { item/skill.id => pose# } }

The problem:
The enemies are in the middle of the screen, rather than on the left side. The background is black, theres a background selected in the database: tileset: battleback.
The battle itself works fine, everyone moves at each other and attacks. WHen the bad guys are killed tho, they turn red and stay on the screen red.

I really am a noob at this, and its tough to find help, thats why I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can make my game look like the one in the video. I would probably give you dibs on my first unborn child. It sincerely means that much to me.
