And I'd like to request some modifications if anyone wants to/has the time.
The modifications are as follow:

First, I'd like for the window with the enemy names to be visible at all times after you press ''Fight'', not just when pressing attack.
Second, I'd like for the enemy names to be displayed one below the other, rather than one next to the other.
Thirdly, I'd like for the ''command box'' in the left to be a bit wider so the text doesn't get stretchy, and also for the Actor who is controlled at the time, his name to be displayed on top of the command box(preferably centered), with a separating line underneath.
Lastly, the enemy name window should be slightly smaller(as the command box would be slightly wider), and the enemy name ''boxes'' to be displayed a bit more to the right, so the cursor doesn't merge with the white of the windowskin.

This is how the battles look right now:

This is how they'd ideally look after the changes:

Also, there is a slight flickering during combat(as shown in this video: ), if someone could fix that also I'd be grateful.

Thank you for your time!

@A-Moonless-Night
Thanks a lot!
It works nicely, but there are some more modifications I'd like you to make if you're willing.

Notice how in these pics the cursor goes over/blends in with the white?

Spoiler

It is possible for the monster names and attack/defend commands to be a bit further to the right(about 2 or 4 pixels) so the cursor doesn't blend in with the white?
Also, attack and defend look stretchy, can you make the command window a bit wider so it fits in about 2 additional letters for each command?

I'd like for the stats window(the one on the top)to be visible even after the battle ends(when it says ''Hero was victorious'').

In the DQ Battle script, when the player/enemies attack or perform actions, the stats window gets smaller. While I'd like to keep this feature, the window its ''cut off'':

Spoiler

I'd like it to be something like this instead:

Spoiler

Also, I'd like you to modify the item & magic menu(in battle).
See how it overlaps with the other windows, but because the windowskin I'm using for battle is transparent, it looks messy. Also, the cursor blends in with the white of windowskin here too.

Spoiler

I'd like the battle magic menu to be something like this mock-up I made:

Spoiler

In the left there's the spell list, and on the right the spell description, with the mp cost below.

Also, there doesn't need to be any space for icons, since in my game spells & items don't use icons.
The item menu should be something similar, except the mp cost window.

Lastly, I wanna know if the flickering in combat windows can be fixed, aswell as if windows can open up instantly, as detailed in this video:

Sorry for the long post and thanks again!

 

[A-Moonless-Night]

I've got a bit of time today, so I'll get started on some of these. One question: if you need to select an enemy using a skill, where should the enemy window go?

 

[Koulucky]

@A-Moonless-Night
When selecting an enemy using a skill, the enemy window should go above the spell window, something like this:

This applies for skills that require selecting an actor too, but the window should be smaller because no actor will have a name longer than 7 letters.

 

[A-Moonless-Night]

Give this a go:

EDIT: Forgot something, so I updated the script here.

 

[Koulucky]

@A-Moonless-Night
Thank you very much, it works almost perfectly!
However, there are still a few light changes it needs and it has a bug.

Whenever a spell is cast on an ally, the enemy window goes up higher and higher for some reason, as shown in this video:

For the light changes, I want the cursor to be further away from the white in some windows(like you did it for the enemies):

Spoiler

In these places:

Spoiler

The ''actor targeting'' window could also be a bit wider so it fits longer names, in addition to the cursor not blending in:

I'd like the command window to be even wider(a bit)bcz attack/defend and skills are stretchy.

Also, I'd like the spells and items to be one below the other, since there are gonna be some pretty long item & spell names like Medicinal Herb, Kacrackle, etc.

If it helps, here are the graphics/scripts I'm using for battle in my game;
The windowskin:

For the cursor, I'm using this script:

# 2012.01.16 - Started Script and Finished.
#
#==============================================================================
# ▼ Introduction
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# This script creates visible menu cursors for your game. Whenever a window is
# selectable and active, the menu cursor will appear for it. Menu cursors catch
# the player's attention better and helps the player figure out quickly which
# window became the active window. Also included with this script is the
# ability to disable the highlighted selection bar since the window menu cursor
# can replace it.

# ▼ Instructions
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below ▼ Materials/素材 but above ▼ Main. Remember to save.
#
# Make sure you have a cursor image within your project's Graphics\System\
# folder. By default, the cursor's filename should be MenuCursor.
#
#==============================================================================
# ▼ Compatibility
# =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# This script is made strictly for RPG Maker VX Ace. It is highly unlikely that
# it will run with RPG Maker VX without adjusting.

You can set the position of the menu cursor in the Menu Cursor script, line 56. I set it to 10 and that seemed to do the trick.

EDIT: Also, you should add Mithran's Text Cache to your project. It stops the text shrinking like that. https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/text-cache.1001/

 

[Koulucky]

@A-Moonless-Night
Thanks a lot! I also added text cache and set the menu cursor to 10 and now it's perfect!
Thank you again for all your help!!

EDIT: I've encountered another bug, when I select a monster to attack, the wrong one is attacked. For example, in this video I target the candy cat, yet Hero attacks the dracky:

EDIT2: Also, when the party starts to escape, there's no escape text for some reason.

 

[Roninator2]

@Koulucky Under Window_BattleEnemy in def deactivate there is an unselect. Comment that out. Around line 106.
Maybe AMN can explain why that was needed.
This is not a fix, but maybe it is. AMN will have to let us know if that's good.

 

[Koulucky]

@Roninator2 Thanks, commenting that out seems to have fixed the selection problem.

 

[A-Moonless-Night]

Oops, yep, sorry, I was playing around with something and forgot to get rid of that.

 

[Roninator2]

Oops, yep, sorry, I was playing around with something and forgot to get rid of that.

Does that mean that the entire deactivate part can be removed?

 

[A-Moonless-Night]

@Roninator2 Yep, it doesn't need to be there at all.

 

[Koulucky]

@A-Moonless-Night
When the party starts to escape, there's no escape text for some reason. Is it a bug or...?

 

[Roninator2]

edit

 

[A-Moonless-Night]

The easiest way to fix that is to make it so that the status window never disappears, so I've done that:

This script updates the battle scene from Jamiras843 Dragon Quest Battle script,
changing the position of certain windows and changing the way some information
is drawn.

You can choose whether to draw icons in skill and item lists in the editable
region below.

All windows now open and close instantly, no fade-in/-out transition.

The only issue I can foresee is if you display a message during battle that would sit at the top of the screen. If you stumble across any issues, let me know.

@A-Moonless-Night @Koulucky
I did a little testing.
The values for Window_Base are too high it seems.

class Window_Base < Window
 
  def update_open
    self.openness += 254    <- changed from 255
    @opening = false if open?
  end

  def update_close
    self.openness -= 254     <- changed from 255
    @closing = false if close?
  end

@A-Moonless-Night @Roninator2
It seems to be fixed now, thx!

EDIT: Ignore this, I forgot to turn off an empty Event after Turn 1, so it made the fight messed up. Sorry for the necro!
