Maybe it sounds stupid, but I have no Idea how to apply all the scripts I saw and try.
I believe those all placed in Script editor. But where I should place them?
Some just say : Make new above "Main"
I tried, but nothing changed.
Some say : Replace some script
I tried, but the game just error n won't start.
I believe I using legal RM XP
Anyone willing to help or just tell me where I can get the solution? I'm new here tough

Note : I haven't touch the script yet from standar script from the RM.

All I had to do was copy all the scripts and pasted them at the same places.
Had an error at first due to the gauge window skins, so i imported them in the right folder. Worked from that point on.
Make sure to copy the event for the battle as well, since it activates the script for battle position.

Other then that I just delete anything else that gave an error in the bliz pack, since I had tons of other script that conflicted, although it was all off.

I am still hoping this can be edited to allow a 4th party member (show their stats)

I found another turn based system thats similar to this here: http://www.creationasylum.net/forum/index....showtopic=12223 (go down to one post from the bottom for the script file), however unlike this, the bars wont stop when the attack window shows, and that sorta defeats the purpose of such a system if you just have to wait with the window open (and the enemy can't attack during 'your turn') for all the bars to fill for everyone and allow everyone to attack together.

Personally I like that one better as it don't come with a huge tun of 'extras' when all I'm looking for is a battle system, but the bars filling with the attack window open makes it more eh.

its easy to do you just need too change 2 lines to make the fourth person`s hp and sp and bar appear

These lines just needed to be reajusted (between 23 and 146 in Chrono Trigger battle interface

CODE

#==============================================================================
# ■ Window_BattleStatus (redefined)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 　Displays party status.
#==============================================================================
class Window_BattleStatus < Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Object initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize
    super(240, 360, 400, 120)##########(X,y-20,X,y+20) per extra char after 4 (for 3 it was (240,380,400,100))

and for the bar it`s

#==============================================================================
# ■ Sprite_ActiveTimer
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#   ActiveTimer sprite display
#   Window_BattleStatus modification
#==============================================================================
class Sprite_ActiveTimer < Sprite
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # ● Object initialization
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def initialize(actor_index)
    super()
    self.x = 500
    self.y = actor_index * 20 + 392#########Reduce by 20 for every extra character after the 4th (3 chars is 412)

Ahh! I see!
Now I understand.

But I want to ask something

At the Sideview battle motion control, there's lines :

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# You can use seperate pictures for KOd actors.
# Set them here.
# Have the image you want in the Graphics\Characters folder
CORPSE_F = {
# How to set another one up:
# Actor ID => ["Image name", X, Y] (X and Y range from 0 to 3)
1 => ["189-Down01", 0, 0],
2 => ["189-Down01", 1, 2],
3 => ["189-Down01", 0, 3],
4 => ["190-Down02", 2, 0],
5 => ["190-Down02", 1, 1],
6 => ["190-Down02", 2, 1],
7 => ["190-Down02", 0, 3],
8 => ["191-Down03", 3, 1]
}
# Set the directon the characters are facing.
# Use variable 10 for this!
# 2:down, 4:left, 6:right, 8:up

I wonder how to make the dead chars to show it original dead graphs?
Where should I change? Or perhaps anyone can give sample? Both, for origin graphs and edited graphs for Ko'd Chars

Thx a lot guys!
