Shanghai's Fancy Deaths+, Shanghai's script with an added Boss Death feature. Options

Fancy Boss Deaths
This script uses Shanghai's fancy death script (located here Fancy Deaths). It requires changing a few things around in a couple different places, so to make it easiest to use I'll just add a copy of the whole script.

This script brings back the functionality of the Epic Boss Deaths which were super cool in the tankentai battle system, by Enu. By using <fancy death: boss> in the note section- when the enemy dies, the screen will flash twice and the enemy will slowly fade into the ground. It should be compatible with anything fancy deaths is compatible with.

#======================================================================
=========
#
# Shanghai Simple Script - Fancy Deaths
# Last Date Updated: 2010.05.09
# Level: Normal
#
# This makes certain enemies die a fancy way if they have the fancy death tags
# inside of their notebox. These were made for the default animations. If you
# are using different animations, you can change the IDs these fancy deaths use.
# Works for default battle system, Battle Engine Melody, and Tankentai.
#
# Boss collapse code written by Enu ( http://rpgex.sakura.ne.jp/home/ ) and
# added by Nohmaan (but just give credit to Shanghai and Enu).

# Instructions
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below ▼ Materials but above ▼ Main. Remember to save.
#
# <fancy death: string>
# Replace string with one of the ones below:
# fire - Makes the enemy die in a fancy fiery death.
# ice - Makes the enemy freeze and die.
# elec - Makes the enemy spark and die.
# water - Makes the enemy melt and die.
# stone - Makes the enemy change to stone.
# wind - Makes the enemy vanish with the wind.
# holy - Makes the enemy disappear into light.
# dark - Makes the enemy disappear into darkness.
# boss - Mimics the Epic Boss collapse from the Tankentai Battle System

Sorry to necro, but it says Tankentai? Does this mean it works with it? Cause i havn't got it to work with it yet. Just wondering, this would be great to use I love it soooo much. SSS and Yanfly are the best~

[nohmaan]

Negative, my version of the code will work ONLY with the Yanfly Battle Engine Melody. If you want it to work with RPG Tankentai, you'll need to use the original code by Kylock:

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ■ EPIC BATTLES 1.1 for RPG Tankentai Sideview Battle System
#     5.12.2008
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Script by: Kylock
#==============================================================================
#   This little script provides EPIC functionality to your battle system - The
# ability to easily define and create boss encounters.  Or any other noteworthy
# battle as you will see.  The first function is to define special collapses or
# death animations for special enemies.  Instead of the normal fade, they make
# some popping sounds as they fade, or something... The second function allows
# you to specify special battle BGM and victory ME for certain battles.  This
# is set up by using the Troops ID in your game database.  You can set up as
# many special battle BGM's as you can imagine.  Just add to the existing
# arrays.  It's not too hard, just look below for the example.
#==============================================================================
# ● Change Log
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  1.0 - Original Release.
#  1.1 - Fixed a huge problem where the script would only work in random map
#        encounters.  It turns out theres no easy way (that I can find) to read
#        the troop id.  So instead, I hate doing this, but until I figure it
#        out, the boss fight needs to set a variable before the fight to tell
#        the script what music and me to use.  What's imporant though is that
#        this script is now useable and functional for practical use.
#==============================================================================
# ● Shameless Plug
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   I STRONGLY suggest using my Fade Battle End ME script if you use custom
# fanfares.  It is distributed on a plethora of forums, or you can find it
# here: (http://rmvxpuniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1434)
