 #  DP_PLUS_X and DP_PLUS_Y control the position of the damage pop sprites,

 #  DP_FONT is the font used for displaying the damage popup. When it is an
 # array, that is the priority in which fonts are checked. So, for instance:
 # ["Verdana", "Arial", "Courier New"] would mean that the font would be

 #  MISS is the colour for when the target evades or is otherwise missed
 DP_MISS_COLOR = [255, 255, 255]
 #  If you still want damage to show up in the message box as well, change
 # this value to true. false means the damage won't show up in the message

Known Compatibility Issues

It likely will not work with exotic CBSes. It also won't have any effect with sprites not subclasses of Sprite_Battler

Hey, is there anyway that this code can be applied to the Character sets in the overworld. I'm making an RPG style action game and i want the numbers to pop up on the character sets not in battle mode.

[modern algebra]

The way I wrote it, not really. It would be easy to make a script that could, though.

Do you know of any?

[Mushu]

I tried pasting this directly, pasting it from wordpad and notepad and none worked is there a download for it?

[modern algebra]

You can get it from here: http://pastebin.com/RM27SGN9

Oh btw! I had my comp set to Japanese locale to play the 3D script and changing it back to American let me paste scripts normally, because after I changed the locale it pasted all the scripts wrong. Just an interesting tidbit xD

[abitsicamica]

Hey Modern Algebra, this is a very simple yet cool way of aesthetically improving one's overall gaming project. I would like to suggest color-coding the damage pop-ups depending on damage. For example, color white should be attributed to damages ranging from 0 - 300, yellow from 301 - 1500, orange from 1501 - 4500 and red from 4501 - 9999+. Just a suggestion! Very cool script though!

[Mushu]

Is there a version of this for ace or should I post a script request?
