General Question, first time post, possibly in the wrong place...

[Vainglorious]

Hello, Hola, Holla Holla, etc.

Google is not my friend today and I'm having issues trying to get information on what I'd like to accomplish using RMVXA.

Rather than the traditional battle sequence, I was thinking about some kind of card battle replacement.

I've seen stuff on creating a card battle system in the game (like FF8), but I was more looking for replacing the actual

main fighting battle stuffs with that kind of environment. I'm working on a photoshop mock up of what I'm looking for, but if I've described something that already exists, can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you very much!

Vainglorious

yes and no.


There are a lot of battlescripts that replace the default battle with something else, but most of them don't do card battles.


One game has focused on card battles, but its scripts were never released to the public as far as I know.


There is also a topic on this board where someone started to develop a card battle script, but that was recently and I really doubt that it has been finished yet.


You might want to search for that (sorry, I don't have the link) and combine your efforts, because all battlescripts are a lot of work.

Thanks for the response! I know so very little about this program, but when I was looking over how the battle

system functioned, I was just hoping for something different.

Thanks again!

Definitely doable, but relatively difficult.  There's a lot that would go into creating the systems that manage the cards and even more that would go into creating a good interface for such a mechanic on the battle screen.

I would strongly recommend learning to script with RGSS3 yourself, or hiring someone in the Classified - Requests section.  It's something I might take on myself, but I've got too much on my plate for the next few months.

You would need to define how the battle would go exactly... Just saying Card Battles won't do any good...

Depending on how the battle would be, I might be willing to do it...

Dekita was working on something, but I don't know the stipulations of its use. Here is a link:

Dekita is working on a script for building actual Trading Card Games (think Yu-Gi-Oh or MTG), whereas Vainglorius seems to be asking for a true Battle System that happens to be based on cards somehow (like Baten Kaitos or Lost Kingdom).  While there could be some overlap between the two (like deck management), for the most part Vainglorious' request would require making something from whole cloth.

Yeah, Honestly, I'm having a hard time thinking about how to describe what I really need. I think what I want is like profile pictures of the characters doing battle rather than the default battle system. But, honestly, I haven't even started using the program much at all. So my request was really more of a point of interest.

Vainglorious seems to be asking for something that likely doesn't exist. If it does, it is likely inflexible at best, completely user-unfriendly at worst.

You're better off learning how to script or working with a more typical battle system.

 

[Vainglorious]

Works for me! I just thought it'd be more interesting/better looking than the default. But I'll do more research on what's available

Thanks for all the responses!

So just like having battlers for the actors? just find an actor battler script

Yeah, Honestly, I'm having a hard time thinking about how to describe what I really need.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

It kinda sounds like Vainglorious wants a battle screen similar to the snes game arcana.  Each character is represented by cards that move when they perform actions during battle.
