Need modification to script

[Indie_Goblin]

Hello, This's my first post, i just need someone to modify this script. Replace the character sprite with a modifiable sprite sheet, 106 by 106 in size, 3 frames across, 12 frames down, I'd also like for status effects to change the portraits. Make the sprites come up before the turn starts, and pop down after actions are selected. Here's the script for you to modify;

#==============================================================================
# ** Earthbound-Ish Sprite Display
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version: 1.0
# Author: cozziekuns
# Date: February 17, 2013
#==============================================================================
# Description:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This script attempts to emulate the battle system of the Earthbound/Mother
# series; most notably Earthbound and Earthbound 2 (Mother 2 and 3). This
# certain addon addresses the character sprite movements found in Mother 3,
# where active actors bobbed up and down the screen.
#==============================================================================
# Instructions:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but
# below Materials.

  alias coz_ebishspd_btlmngr_init_members init_members

    coz_ebishspd_btlmngr_init_members(*args)
    @dummy_battler = nil
  end
 
  def dummy_battler
    @dummy_battler
  end
 
  def next_subject
    loop do
      battler = @action_battlers.shift
      unless battler
        @dummy_battler = nil
        return nil
      end
      next unless battler.index && battler.alive?
      @dummy_battler = battler
      return battler
    end
  end

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a coder, but wouldn't just work if you change the 128 in these lines to 106?

sx = (Graphics.width - width) / 2 + 128
self.x = @battler.index * 128 + sx / 2 + 12 + 32 * (4 - $game_party.members.size)

Nope, i need to assign the battler a special spritesheet, that would just zoom the existing sprite in.

modifiable sprite sheet, 106 by 106 in size, 3 frames across, 12 frames down

Are you referring to using multiple different sheet sizes?
The method in the script on line 99 is where it gets the sprite dimensions.
It's based on the single sprite sheet with 12 frames at 3x4 or a standard character sheet of 96 frames at 12x8.
If other options were to be added, are they to be gathered from a note tag in the actor note box or directly configured or pre defined in a variable?

I'd also like for status effects to change the portraits

Change the sprite sheet if poisoned and such?

That's getting into extensive rewriting.
That's why no one has been helping you yet.
You would easily get this done with a commission request.

I think i'll just get this commisioned, Thanks for the help though.
Can a mod close this thread?
