Have you tried edits of the RTP icons? I did that for ACE, and got some interesting ones just by tint changes or combining two into the same icon.

well they aren't actually sprites since i'm going the old XP route. i'm just drawing out my characters. you can see two of them in my profile picture actually.

Do you have any more?

not yet unfortunately... I'm still drawing them lol. 2 down and 4 more to finish.

By posting a question in the Support forum for the engine you are using, not by asking in a Status Update.

Just make everything do 1 damage, always.

You can just edit the image in the system folder and make the whole thing transparent.  But if you really need help with stuff, you should post on the forum.

oh wow... never thought of making them transparent lol. if that doesn't work, then yeah, i'll definitely post. for now it's not the biggest deal until i make a bit more progress.

What part of the game is having issues by the way, so I know what to look out for?

battles are lagging heavily with Yanfly's Battle Engine Core on. I'm not sure what's causing it or what not. No one else seems to be having this issue with it. Animations come out really slow and everything else seems a tad laggy as well. here's the link... I forgot to erase a lot of the image files though so i think it's kinda big... if you need me to erase stuff first lemme know. here's the link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wywn87v5ejdjb08/AABYOrs4UyjdxISi4SaOC5M_a?dl=0

If you suspect it's a plugin, just disable the plugin and see if it still lags. You don't need to send someone the project.


Since this has turned into a "help me" request, I'm going to go ahead and lock it.  Please post in the forum if you need help.

hmm I thought about that. Luckily I've got the files to go back and do edits. As for the shadows... I THINK there's a way to do it in Victor's plugin, but I'm not sure.

I guess they are supposed to be sideview battlers. In that case, Brown hair dude should be also looking towards left (like blue haired) and maybe hold is sword towards left too. Otherwise, your art is really nice.

I was thinking about the eyes on Ray (brown hair). It was changed when I was trying to get a front view RPGMakerXP thing going. I never changed it back lol. And thanks! It takes time drawing these characters (still working on the 3rd one as I type), so I appreciate the compliment.

i've done just that Shaz lol. i omitted some addon's with the plugin that i didn't need due to the nature of my games appearance. it's a bit less laggy now. considering it's a Yanfly plugin, i'm sure it's gotta be super optimized. i'm honestly not sure what was causing lag for me during battles. and even weirder was the lag would drop a lot without the plugin. but seeing as it's the Battle Core Engine, i needed it for at LEAST the Hp bars and definitely the CTB lol.

Are other people commenting about lag?  It could be that it's conflicting with something else you've got installed, or maybe you need to tweak some of the settings.  I'd post in Yanfly's thread asking for help before considering ditching it.

i did actually post a day or so ago. i don't "think" anyone is dealing with it. i searched the word lag and found nothing other than what i'd posted. i THOUGHT it might just have been my laptop, but again, with the plugin off... much of the lag went away. i'll look further into it to see if it is a conflict of plugins though. though, without the action sequences, it's not as bad. with me hand drawing static battlers i figured it'd look odd if they did a ton of moving lol

thanks. it was actually a bit of a hassle lol. had to handwrite each letter and number and then import them to a font creator.

But got the effect you wanted so I am sure it was worth it.

definitely! oddly enough it reminds me of the font in the old Simpsons arcade game from Konami lol. but yeah, i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Looks pretty cool. Congratulations, savor the fruits of your hard work

thanks! that means a lot. it took quite a few hours to get this to this point. i've got plenty more to draw though... such as action stances, victory, hurt, dead, etc lol. but i'm looking forward to it!

Well, it looks pretty cool already, in my humble opinion.

thanks! i like it too, but i know it can be better. mainly gonna adjust some things and mainly get my colors to look better.
