EDIT: Download the Calibri font pack from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=238ecaa...04e75f6e8ebb871

Download it or change Blizzard's tons of add-ons script's Ultimate font override part.

Big error the font in your demo doesn't show up and I HAVE the LEGAL VERSION! I have no clue why this happens please fix.

I know what's the problem. Lucky it can be solved easily.

a./ Install the Calibri font (comes with Windows 7 or Office 2007)

b./ Change the Ultimate font override of Blizzard's tons of add-ons to a font you have (I've turned that plugin off, but it seems not to work).

Thank you it worked! Great CBS by the way I will use it in a future project.

Ive used one or two scripts in the past by Claimh and this cbs is quite sweet too. The only thing I would
change (quite easily) is the command window to seat in the left window as to prevent it covering any of
their names as it moves from left to right.

This is a grat script, but I think everyone should wait till moghunter has finished his version, its about %70 done last time I checked.

Can this be edited to allow a 4th party member? Well, it works as is with a 4th member, their battle bar shows and they can take turns with everyone else just don't show their name or HP/SP stuff.

Will probably have to rearrange the HP/SP/ATB display. I don't know exactly how, but I'll try and look into it.

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

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!

You just need to check your graphics in the character set's. So if you have new character's you need to make them. If you want a sample go in you ressource editor and extract for example 191-Down03 from the character set folder. (If I undersood you right)

theres no diffrence betwwen some scripts any way cool but midea fire never works!!

Is there a way to make an animated enemy?
I want to use this battle system because it's easy enough and it looks pretty good, but some of my characters have to be enemies in my project.

Copy-paste the character graphics from the characterset, and create 4 different troops, each facing a different direction (or decide which direction the enemy will face and use only that).

Naridar - I don't get it. How is this going to work? Why do I need 4 different troops? o_O'
I just want enemy to walk when attacking at close range, and not 'flying' like those ghost from demo. :I
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't know how it's going to help me.

Wheres the ultimate font override located in blizzard's tons of add-on?

I have the demo now.

I'm a bit new to rpgmxp but I've never changed the scripts I have a game in progress that I'd prefer a Chrono Trigger BS for can someone please tell me what scripts I'm supposed to put where thank you.

I still have the problem. I have changed the font to calibri but the text is still not showing.

2 Questions.
One is there any way to AUTO set the battle location co-ordinates? (centre of current map or wherever?)
At the moment I've got a parallel process event on EVERY map, so that every battle, encounter and random,
fights on the map.

Secondly aren't enemies supposed to attack when my gauge is full? if I just leave my game running, enemies don't attack until I take my turn. Is it meant to be that way?

Does anyone know how to move the command window to the top of the screen instead of the bottom? Can't find any info on how to do it

thanks!

Go to sideview battle Command module and look at lines 50-51
It looks like those positions aren't being used, but if you modified it would work...almost

There are some other places that you will have to change also which I'm not sure.

These scripts look really good, but when i clicked on the link at MediaFire, it said, "File not found". You might need to re - upload the file

Sorry for the necropost but the download's broken. Does anybody have the script/demo to reupload? I really want to use this one and I can't wrap my head around ATOA's

It's been like a week, so I'll ask again, politely. Does anybody still have Claimh's CT Battle system and if so, would they be willing to upload it to a filehosting service like 4shared/dropbox/megaupload/mediafire? Or at least send it to me? I really want this for my game and I cannot wrap my head around the ATOA one to configure it. (Doesn't help that I have no internet at home, only library access for the moment)
