You've encouraged me to start scripting Forte >>

Here is the HP Bar AddOn Script :3

# *** HP/MP/ATB/LimitBreak bar Slanted Style Compatible with RTAB ***
# *** Version 2.1
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# by Clive
# based on Cogwheel's Bars and Sephiroth Spawn's Slanted Bars.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ----- GREAT THANKS to DerVVulfman for solving the lag problem
#------This is a plug and play script so it should work without any problem!
#=============================================================================

# If using with Limit Break, must paste BELOW the Limit Break script as it re-
# writes the 'Gauge drawing' system.  Will cause an error if not properly put.

# If used with Trickster's STEAL SCRIPT version 6 R1 (revision 1), then the
# height of RTAB's AT Bar (Draw Actor ATG) may not be smaller than 5 pixels
# due to a float-to-float error.  A height of 6 pixels is the smallest.

EDIT:

ive been checking this thread for a few days and I am just NOW noticing theres a second page...

[Ramenuzumaki]

Well heres an update! I am waiting for someone to help with the HP bar problem. I think Ike is working on it cuz its his Menu script that I'm using. However, one of my team members had an amazing idea as either an AddOn or a small edit to the CBS. Would it be possbible to add images the battle. There is a lot of white space, and since it uses the overworld sprite as a battle graphic you cant really get a feel for the characters looks. With this little addition I'm hoping itll bring a whole new horizon to the battles!

Here is the current look of what the system looks like now
[spoiler][/spoiler]

I have with me a little mock up my teammate made in photoshop. Obviously the images used are just ones from google. I would be using real art custom made for the game in the actual make up.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

if anyone could do this that would be SIQ
one OPTIONAL thing that my teammate thought would be kewl is if you could make it so the person who's ATB is full/turn to make action if theirs was in colour and the rest were saturated like in the screenshot above. However, that is completely optional that he thought would be a kewl idea. if you dont want to do that portion thats fine! :3

Bump?

so with the help of Dragon324 from RMXPUnlimited we have solved the hp bar problem. Now I just need to know if its possible to have the battle screen look like the image bellow. Just to add an image to the screen to fill up the dead space, and add some depth.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

I wonder if anyone would get mad if I came here and said that I wish I checked this thread again. Hope the game kept going forward. Putting an image is easy, however it depends on where you place it.

An approach is to use the Pictures folder. You can use subfolders to keep things clean too. So for example:

Code Select Expand

# The image will be in a folder inside Pictures called BattleBars,
# and the name of the file will be the actor's ID. This is because
# the actor's name can be changed ingame so I've always thought it's
# safer to use the ID, which never changes ingame.

# I'll assume you got a variable called actor
# You'll also need to figure out what the right x/y are, however uh...
back_x = 0
back_y = 5 + actor.index * 32
bmp = RPG::Cache.picture("BattleBars/%03d" % actor.id)
self.contents.blt(x,y,bmp,bmp.rect)
Place that above whatever draws the name and the bar.

I'm talking to the void but I don't care. Take care everyone.
