[REQUEST] Script to show battle character like in Phantasy Star and Pokemon

I want to know if there is a script or if one could be made where each battle character has their own picture but them turned to the enemy in battle like in Phantasy Star or in Pokemon.

Screenshot examples:





I would like something simple and easy to use, like in battle the picture could be above their name or something and when it is their turn the picture can slightly move up but they stay there until the end of battle.

Thank you.

I found this...err...somewhere.
Its by DerVVulfman, so appropriate credit shuld be given.

It shows 'battlers' in battle, as it worked in rmXP.

You just...well...need to have the battler graphics. Obviously.

# ** Actor Battler Graphics
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    by DerVVulfman
#    version 1.0

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  INTRODUCTION:
#
#  This system permits you to include 'Actor Battler' graphics that were not
#  included in the RPGMaker VX system.   This script mimics many of the lost
#  features, and includes a new one:  Actor Battler Centering.
# 
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  USAGE:
#
#  --Positioning--
#   A nice feature to this system  is the ability to adjust the left/right &
#   up/down position of your battlers.
#
#   Actually, the vertical up/down position  can be adjusted by changing the
#   value of the SCREEN_Y variable.   The left/right positioning is a little
#   different.
#
#   The CENTER_X value is a true/false value  that sets whether the battlers
#   line up from the left and space themselves out  in the manner of the de-
#   fault RPGMaker XP  or whether the system calculates and centers them ac-
#   ross the screen.
#
#   The DEFAULT_X value establishes  how many actors  are typically shown in
#   the battlefield. While this is the default value, the maximum value used
#   can be changed with a script call.
#
#   Finally,  the TRANSPARENT value is another true/false value that you can
#   use to make the battlers lightly transparent until they're about to per-
#   form an attack.  Another feature from RPGMaker XP.
#
#  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
#
#  --The Actor List--
#  This system DOES require you to edit the configuration system to list all
#  of the 'actor' battlers  that you  are using.   It is assumed  that these
#  battlers will be in the  'Graphics\Battlers'  folder with the rest of the
#  enemy battlers.
#
#  Each value in the ACTOR array holds two values:   filename and hue.  This
#  not only allows you to add battle graphics  for your heroes,  but adjusts
#  the character's hue as well.  If you do not include the hue setting, it
#  goes to the default setting of '0'.
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#  SCRIPT CALLS:
#
#  There's only two script calls that you need to know.
#
#  --Changing Battlers--
#  Given that this system allows you to use 'Actor' battlers, you may find a
#  need to 'change' the battler in-game.  Unfortunately, this cannot be done
#  with a pre-rendered map event, so I had to make a script call:
#
#           $game_actors[ID].set_battler("filename", hue)
# 
#  By using this call, you can change the graphic and hue of a battler while
#  the game is running. 
#
#  As an example:  $game_actors[1].set_battler("Ylva")
# 
#  ...would set actor #1's battler to use "Ylva.png" as the graphic desired.
#  You may note that the 'hue' was not included  in this call.   The default
#  value of '0' was used.
#
#  NOTE:  Just calling $game_actors[2].set_battler() would erase the battler
#         from actor #2, rendering it invisible on the battlefield.
#
#  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
#
#  --Changing Position Value--
#  This script allows you to have the battlers centered in the battlefield
#  and spaced out evenly.  Under most circumstances, you have four members
#  in your party.  But what if you want to increase the number of members
#  to 5 or 6?
#
#  Now, this system does not increase the number of members in your party,
#  but it is already set up to adjust the spacing of your members in the
#  battlefield.  With a simple script call:
#
#           $game_system.actorbattler_max = 7
#
#  You can make the system space the battlers on the field with the under-
#  standing that up to 7 members are in the party.
