KBattleFront XP
Version 0.11.0

by Kyonides


This is an Animated Front View & Side View Battle System!​

After reading a couple of threads where people complained about fellow scripter's battle system, I decided that I could give it a chance. The GUI is almost done based on my first impression of those scripts' interface.

1. Status window remains pretty much as static as always, but it includes faces if enabled.
   States might be displayed as icons, too.
2. New actor menu on the top of the screen.
   It uses icons and a label to tell you what's the command currently in display.

The escape feature is still a WIP.

The script is almost Plug n Play, except for a couple of Constants I've included there.
For instance, order the commands the way you like it and pick their icon indexes and that's it, guys!
It also includes a single script call and that's it!

There is No Good Reason
For Frontview Battles to be Boring at All!​

Ever since version 0.6.0 of KBattleFront XP, we have the option to actually watch the heroes move and even jump to hit their targets! Shocked

And now the guard option can also have its own animation! Shocked

And I have brought you some darn convincing proves of it!

Now Actors Can Escape Individually!​

We all know that RMXP only allowed the party to escape as a group and not as mere individuals with all their innate flaws. You know what, scratch that like right now!

That's no longer the case with KBattleFront XP!
Any of your heroes can now be a true chicken wuss!

Just like in old classics like Final Fantasy 6 where you could pick somebody like Terra or Locke to escape, leaving the comrades behind just because, now you can emulate them in this new installment!

KBFXP's Default Judgement of an Escaping Party is the following:

Either some people escaped or got killed, thus the battle gets aborted.

This might sound weird for some of you, but I'll see if I can add another option at least.
Yeah, that would include a brand new Constant in the KBattleFront module for sure.

Did I Say My Script Was a Frontview Battle System!?
It is also a Sideview Battle System as well!
​

This afternoon I managed to adapt my script to let it work swiftly as a Sideview Battle System and it has been a terrific success indeed!

Yes, I have got some nice proofs to demonstrate that it truly works as promised!

I also added a couple of extra Constants to make my script be even more Sculptor customizable than before.
