Is there any way to show all status effects on a character or enemy instead of just one? Options

[LostSamurai]

I am an avid user of status effects. My party learns status effects, and the enemies use status effects. The problem is, only one status effect shows up at a time with the standard battle system, and it's impossible to keep track of all the positive and negative effects on your characters and the enemies. Is there any way to make it so all status effects applied to your character are visible?

I've dealt with something similar before, but let me say that this could lead to a massive lag amount.
You have basically three alternatives:

1 - showing states one by one, like a slideshow, in the status window;
2 - showing states as icons near enemy's name;
3 - make a "scan" skills which gives an info page with every status.

Try browsing google or this site, maybe there's a script done yet

1 and 2 are both perfectly acceptable methods for me. I've looked into the scripts so far and have not found anything that does remotely what I'm looking for. I'll look again.

Edit: No such luck. I'm looking into the scripting myself, but I'm running into a dead end.

Edit 2: It seems to have something to do with Window_help

CODE

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # - Enemy setting
  #     enemy : The enemy which indicates name and the state
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def set_enemy(enemy)
    text = enemy.name
    state_text = make_battler_state_text(enemy, 112, false)
    if state_text != ""
      text += "  " + state_text
    end
    set_text(text, 1)
  end
end

EDIT 3: It definitely has to do with that, that is the code which displays enemy name and status effect when you're hovering over it. I made some modifications which allowed me to change the text displayed, but I wasn't able to make it display more than one different status effect at once.

EDIT 4: I found Blizzard's Tons of Addons script. Now I have the animations toggle, so all status effects are visible, and there's icons for my characters so all their status effects show at once. But the enemy still has the text and it only shows one. I'm going to see if I can change that.
