Battle System and Balancing

[Pyrebird]

Hello, I got RPGmakerVXAce about six months ago when it was like, 7$ on steam and I've been playing around with it since.

Now, I'm trying to make a real game using it.

Of course being the newbie I am, I'm having issues with the Battle System, the main one being I want sprites for the characters involved to be shown during the fight along with things like an EXP bar.

I have a basic understanding of scripting, but I need help altering the script here so that I don't screw anything up and potentially kill the entire game.

You want to do it yourself? There are already side view battle systems available. Let us know if you want to use one of them, or create your own (battle system is probably THE most complex script to mess with), and we'll move it to the correct forum.

To have the enemy HP bars showing, you need a script.  Probably the simplest is Yanfly's, which you can get here

It is, however, an add-on to Yanfly's Battle Engine, so you would need that as well.  As it does so many things to improve the battle system, I recommend you to at least look at it.

I searched around, but couldn't find anything like that. Thanks for posting links.

Now that being said, I'd rather use a pre-existing script rather than alter it manually, so if you could post links to some side-view battle-systems it would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go.


That aside, I'd recommend Yanfly Visual Battlers myself.
