Chrono Engine Alternative?

[Woland]

Hey! My game has actually a very simple combat system and for 90% of the time you don't even fight. But I would still prefer the battles to happen in the maps, not to move into the battle screen.

I know there's moghunter's Chrono Engine, but I've been at it for hours and can barely scratch the surface of making it work. There's a constant doubt in my head whether a few battles that I'll be having are worth the long days of setting it up. Especially since I am trying to set it up in an existing, advanced project, not based on the test project included in the engine.

Are there any simpler alternatives? It can be turn-based. I don't need the zelda-style combat included in the plugin.

Or maybe some of you know how to set the damn thing up and would be willing to help / give advice?

I am looking for the same thing, so here's hoping! Mainly because I think I'm too new to really figure out how to customize the Moghunter one well.

Alpha ABS

Alpha does look awesome. Is it all ABS, though? I couldn't find an example of a turn-based or ATB system for it.

What I would love is having a normal random battle spawn the enemies from the map’s Troops into the game world like Chrono ATB instead of going to a battleback.

I am actually slowly figuring out the moghunter one. Just copying one plugin at a time, then copying whatever images it screams that are missing. Then copying events and configs from the demo project. It is going slow, but I did manage to get an enemy to attack and kill me so far. Figuring out how to attack now
