[REQUEST] Simple Add-On for Default Battle System

[memberp]

Hi all!

Didn't have too much success with my requests so far, but I figured this one should be fairly easy:

I'm looking to use the default battle system (rather than the Tankentai system). My only real gripe with it is that the enemies don't have any attack animation. Is there a way that I can appoint a battle animation to an enemy?

When I add a skill to an enemy now, it only shows the screen flashes, but not the actual images that come with the original animation. I don't need a completely new battle system or anything like that, I only want the ability to play an attack animation for the enemy. Would be nice if an enemy could have a couple of different ones like, say, up to 3?

Any help is much appreciated!

I am not sure if this it is but here is Yanfly's Monster Animation fix

#===============================================================================
#
# Yanfly Engine RD - Animation Fix
# Last Date Updated: 2009.05.30
# Level: Easy
#
# This is just a small animation fix to something that was done terribly by
# Enterbrain. This also lets you check whether or not you want enemies to play
# animations on themselves when they're using skills. This script is just made
# shorter and cleaner than the protoype Yanfly Engine version.
#
# This script also provides for three new features. Skills and items can now
# play different animations depending on whether or not an actor is using it or
# an enemy is using it. This will provide more varying animations each skill.
# The third feature takes something back from RPG Maker XP, casting animations.
# Now, actors and enemies can have a casting animation played on them before
# they use their skills or items.
#
#===============================================================================
# Updates:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# o 2009.05.24 - Updated to include <ani casting x>.
# o 2009.05.20 - Added <actor animation x> and <enemy animation x>.
#                Converted ENEMY_ATTACK_CUSTOM to <attack animation x>.
# o 2009.05.07 - Added compatibility with YERD System Menu Options.
# o 2009.04.19 - Added enemy normal attack animations.
# o 2009.04.13 - Started script.
#===============================================================================
# Instructions
#===============================================================================
#
# The following are tags you may input into your skills' notebox.
#
# <actor animation x>
# This will cause actors to play a different animation when using this skill
# or item. x is the animation ID to be played.
#
# <enemy animation x>
# This will cause enemies to play a different animation when using this skill.
# x is the animation ID to be played.
#
# <ani casting x>
# This will display a animation when the skill or item is casted.
#
# The following are tags you may input into the enemy notebox.
#
# <attack animation x>
# This will give the enemy an attack animation other than the default.
#
#===============================================================================
#
# Compatibility
# - Alias: Scene_Battle, display_animation
# - Overwrites: Scene_Battle, display_attack_animation
# - Overwrites: Scene_Battle, display_normal_animation
