Use character sets for sideview battles.

[Prescott]

Currently, side view battles can only display an enemy's graphic. There are plugins I know of to kind of animate them, but none as far as I know actually replace them with their character graphic. Presumably, you would have the monster's "battle graphic" (probably a 24x24 pixel image with a number on it or something) and it would use the character set of the same name as the fighter. For instance, you name the character set Fighters. Then the battle graphic would be Fighters_1 for the first character in the sheet or Fighters_4 for the fourth, etc.


I'm looking for a plugin that does this, but ALSO does the same with members of your party. I'm not looking to get all fancy with the battle system, but I still want it to be a side view system. This is partly due to budget restraints unfortunately. This means that our artist only has to make one version of the characters and enemies.


Just a simple system where the character set it used, and when a battler goes to attack, they take a few steps forward and get locked in the "moving" frame until the animation of the attack on the enemy or party is finished, then they step back.


If anyone could help me with this it would be GREATLY appreciated  if you make the plugin, you'll get a free copy of the game too :3

Have you searched?  I'd be surprised if this isn't already out there.

I couldn't find one because it seems I was searching too specifically. Finally found one after about an hour of searching though!





EDIT: It's not what I'm looking for... it requires a "basic module" to run which contains features I don't need or want. I'll ask Victor if it's possible to use it without the extra features, but in the meantime if anyone finds anything else please let me know!
