Free to use commercially and non-commercially. 
Core script isn't a basic module or anything, it's the CTB itself. It's separated from the main configuration file.

Looks really good.

 

[AwesomeCool]

Does this work with battle symphony?  If it does I am using it. 

 

[Lowell]

Oh? my previous CTB didn't work with a battle system I used. Wonder if this will be what I'm looking for.

 

[Archeia]

Does this work with battle symphony?  If it does I am using it. 

It works with Kread's Animated Battlers. I'm not sure about Symphony though...

 

[AwesomeCool]

got it working with battle Symphony 

all I had to change was this...

def input if @actions[@action_input_index].nil? @actions[@action_input_index] = Game_Action.new(self) end @actions[@action_input_index] endto this...

def input if @action_input_index.nil? @action_input_index = 0 end if @actions[@action_input_index].nil? @actions[@action_input_index] = Game_Action.new(self) end @actions[@action_input_index] endEdit: found a bug, states do not work right.  If poison is put on a character, it never damages him and the state never expires.  I guess this is due to turns never being incremented.

 

[Archeia]

Oh wait, that IS odd. Lemme try to fix that.

 

[AwesomeCool]

Also, can I ask what determines the order in which battlers go?

I can't seem to change the order from the initial order that the characters go in.  No matter what I change.  Changing agility nor speed mid battle or before battle has no effect.  Which makes me believe the order is bugged somehow.

I will try to dig deeper for more info. 

edit:  I think that @action_battlers array needs to be sorted by ctb_ticks in AEA - CTB after line 143 (So that if two battlers go into the action_battlers array at the same time the one that moved faster will go first).  Still trying to find out why slowing down agility of battlers mid battle is not messing with the order in any way.

interesting battle system lemme check if it work with tankentai if it not (probally the Battle camera will not work) I will fix this for you  because I know you are a pretty occupied person archeia~

 

[Nirwanda]

I admit to be a little concerned about compatibilities, but this looks so great. Thanks a lot, Archeia!

AwesomeCool makes a good point. It pretty much looks like a turn order bar script, not an actual battle system. I can't figure out the actual mechanics or do anything mid battle to put any of the battlers at a disadvantage. Could you explain how the turn mechanic works?

Don't know if this fixed the problems :/ Use with no other fixes, place this under CTB script

nope it doesn't sadly. I set an enemy at 999 agility and the order looks like it works until the first action is made then it defaults to the standard order.

add this fix to the fix and it will work perfectly (place below all other AEA CTB scripts and yami's fix):

YBE compatible?

 

[Archeia]

Hello everyone!


Here's a new version of the CTB with some fixes! Please give a warm thanks to AwesomeCool and Yami-chan for all the help they gave! The script page is also updated. It fixes the following things:


1. If the enemy can't make any actions it crashes (example would be a monster without mana thus can't using abilities) - line 203 the error occurs due to current_action being nil.


2. States do not expire nor does damage tick from them.


3. Forced actions do not work.


4. Set an enemies agility to 999 (kept rest the same) and order didn't change at all (at first it looked like it was going to till after the first action when the bar changed to its normal order)


Bug that needs to be fixed:


The order is sometimes wrong (I noticed this with the slime I gave various different skills to that all have different speeds set. Making me believe that skills with different speeds on one character will throw off the order bar).


Some of the stuff AwesomeCool has implemented isn't included but we're all working on it ;w; )/


Enjoy and Good Luck with your Indie Game Contest entries thingmajingers too!

This seems to be working better now. However, there might be a bug. If not, then I think this should be looked at more carefully.

Whenever you highlight a skill that alters the speed (Guard), it will show the turn order preview correctly. But as you scroll through the other commands, the turn order preview doesn't change until you get back to "Attack."

I believe when the cursor moves off of "Guard" in the Command Menu, the turn order bar should show a preview based on the standard speed.

 

[Archeia]

I don't get this issue with guard?

 

[Neo Soul Gamer]

It's quite hard to explain. I apologize for the confusing explanation. This video should help.

 

[Farr]

I don't think it's a bug, ctb predicts who will act next turn and so on, if guard speed is high, it means you'll have more actions to perform before the enemies does.

If you watch the video you will see that the turn order doesn't refresh itself after "selecting" guard, thus giving players a wrong interpretation of what the turn order will look like if say, they hovered over guard, and then instead used a "Magic" ability. The order gauge only seems to fix itself once the player hovers back over the basic Attack command.
