heh, this was my first script for XP and now it's my first for VX.
Irony

Restrictions

This script is not to be posted on any website aside from RMRK and Chaos Project.

and please, credit me for writing it.
I'd love links to games that use it as well

Good stuff NAM, I hope to see more of your stuff for VX

EDIT::

I've tried it out. It's pretty cool the amount of customization you've given the script. I always get tired when I'm making the customization stuff and so a lot of my stuff that should be customizable ends up hard coded. Anyway, good work.

just played the demo and it seems to play the "lowWin" even when the only damage taken was 4HP

hi i dont know about scripting but this is cool, have to say it does crash due the lack of sounds, i dont know if im doing something wrong

Change the sounds to ones you do have. There is a configuration section starting around line 135. It looks like:

well, upload your project and I will take a look. It's a file missing error, so it might be something to do with format or naming, but I can't tell just by looking at the script.

ok ill do it in few min, this is my first week using this type of program so i will appreciate any constructive feedback i think it may be some confilcts with the scripts im using, i dont know a thing about scripts

well, it seem im a new in this of posting too i tried 2 times to upload my project and when the load was completed my page turned out as a new post page...nothing attached :S....

in other hand i find out what my problem is, it seem you need to have battlecries set for all party members or the game will crash, i did a couple of test an all of them were the same, when i have a full party game crashes if the voices are not set for each member, wich is kind of a pain for me cuz im planning to use a 6 members party and eventually some temp party members...... seems im gonna have to set voices for everyone T_T

Hello.  From the looks of this, this script is almost exactly what I'm looking for.  I was curious though, and wanted to ask, if there are any plans on adding features such as attacking, being attacked, using skills/items, when HP gets critical in battle, sound effects for each character?  I have found a similar script that does what I am looking for, however it isn't compatible with the Tankentai atb side view battle script.

I just thought I would ask.  Not sure if the script creator still checks on this thread or has any plans on doing any additions or not.  Can't hurt to ask.  Thanks 

well i dont know if they are going to add damage/hit configurations or something like that, but for skills what im doing is, editing the skills animations and adding the voice i want, is kind of a lot of work because if for example you have 3 char using fire you gonna have to copy/paste 3 fires animation and add the voices you want for each char,  but at least is something im only doing with the signature skills of  my characters though, i dont wanna crazy with that

omg them necro

Well i always run into the same problem over and over again, at some point the script starts error either at the start of the battle or at the end

the error i get is as follows:

Script 'Battlecry VX' line 205: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

the error i get is as follows:

Script 'Battlecry VX' line 205: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Alright so after just testing, it does the same for me when I am loading from a previously saved game.

It runs fine after starting a completely new game.


Have you done this and are you still getting this error?

Yes i'm in the middle of Testing the Scripts, i didn't really start with the Game itself yet XD i first want the scripts to work.

Are you using custom audio?

Or did you use the ones included with the demo like I did?
(cause I'm too lazy to make my own right now)

i use custom ones but they're named exactly like the one the script calls for (Copy&Paste).

Well if they've got the exact same name as the demo, then there shouldn't be a problem.

And it looks like something that I will actually need to look at before I can solve it.

Any chance you could put your script and audio files in a new project and upload it somewhere, so I can take a look?

urrr so all scripts and Audio files into a new project?

i just had made a little bit of effort in getting the Start to work, but it Errored at the end of the battle again...

These Nil errors are annoying me

No, just Battlecry VX and the custom audio files you're using for it.

Before sending it to me, test it out in your new project and see if it works.

If it does, then another script could be the problem.

If it still gets an error, then upload it somewhere for me.

AH STUPID ME

since i have two actors with the same name (powered up scene planned) i typed the Wrong ID so the Actor in the party wasn't in the script ><

i should've doublechecked that ._.
i figured that out when the Error in the new project changed from that Nil Error to ''Sound: Actor002_normalbattle not found'' ><

i thought the script doesn't check the other teammates and only plays sounds assigned to the partylead xD

well yes, the scrip checks every members of the team, and if you dont have sounds assigned to each of them the game will give you an error, just make sure to have all the sounds for all your team members in the script and it should be fine

thats a pain though if you have a lot of team members like i do.....i have 8 members and imagine my pain assigning diferent sounds for all of them

I thought I had that taken into account, weird.
I programmed if the hpState was nil, but not if the actor id sounds were nil.

It should be fixed now.

I don't know if you're still around but I don't really intend to update the script with more features, I don't use RPG Maker anymore really.

Very useful indeed! I imagine it isn't that hard to edit.
EDIT: What's up with the signature type thing?

well yes, the scrip checks every members of the team, and if you dont have sounds assigned to each of them the game will give you an error, just make sure to have all the sounds for all your team members in the script and it should be fine

thats a pain though if you have a lot of team members like i do.....i have 8 members and imagine my pain assigning diferent sounds for all of them

42 Actors, and about 22 i had to assign voices to...
this Game will take more time to get all them scripts and Actors to work than actually working on the storyline..... XD
