SBS Battler Window Options

[Logan110]

I was originally making a project in XP but decided to try out VX a little bit. While on VX I liked the Tankentai Battle Status window better and wanted to transfer that to XP. I spent awhile trying to go through the code to find where it was at but couldn't. Anyway is it possible to transfer the style to XP via copy and paste or will it take extra coding to be compatible?

Here is an example of the window on mine.




Here is what I want the bottom window to look like




Here is a copy of the vx demo if needed

Works great. One more thing. Would it be possible to take the hp/mp bar from VX as well? I was looking through the RTP to find the bars but couldn't find it. Im going to guess it uses the System / Window.png file?

[Night_Runner]

Sephiroth Spawn made a script that allows you to have slanted bars (link).
The only thing is that you'll probably need to edit the colours if you wanted to get the exact colours, you just need to look for the lines like this:

CODE

draw_slant_bar(x, y + 18, actor.hp, actor.maxhp, bar_width, 6, bar_color = Color.new(100, 0, 0, 255), end_color = Color.new(255, 0, 0, 255))

Those last two arguments, Color.new(100, 0, 0, 255), end_color = Color.new(255, 0, 0, 255), specify the red, green and blue of the colours at the start and end of the bar respectively

[Logan110]

Thanks a lot . Exactly what i wanted. Sorry this is in script support guess it shoulda been in the request forum. I had originally thought the sbs script edited the entire battle.

[sapphireluna]

Sorry, where would I paste this script for it to work?

[Night_Runner]

It should work if you go in to the Script Editor, along the left look for 'Main', and if you right click on Main and select 'Insert' it should make a blank window on the right, and along the left it will be ABOVE MAIN, it should work if you paste it in there (so long as you have Tankentai's Sideview Battle System (there may be a newer version, but from memory I think that's the version I made this for) installed as well)

[sapphireluna]

Got it. Thanks!

Is there a way to display the character's level as well?

One more thing, is there a way to make it scroll so it shows the info of the 5th character, if there is one?

Just a question... why you're using an custom script, when the tanketai itself have an add on that allows COMPLETE customization of status window?

The tankentai itself have the add-on battle window, that allows you to change the position of every information in the status screen, and show things like level, face and character graphics. With it you can even set the font individually for each info.

[sapphireluna]

I saw that. It's just that when switching to the horizontal display, all items appear on top of each other and you have to manually move them. That sounds time-consuming because of the trial and error you have to do until you've placed it exactly where you want it.

Um.. I'd like to humbly ask.. what add on is that? I can't seem to find it.. I'm sorry.. I'm new to this..

Did you really searched for it?

If you don't saw that, you should see a doctor... you might need to use glasses.
