Updated 11/10/2015 at 10:54 AM ET. Introduction This plugin introduces a new basic battle layout that can somewhat customized. Inspired by Anon "Withlove" at /rpgmg/. You can use the notetag to change the face graphic of a battler depending on state. More states will be added as time goes on. See the Notetags section for more information. Features Draw an actor's face into the status window! Change the actor's face depending on their current state in battle! Enable a new skill and item window position: right! Redesign and style ATB Gauges from Ellye's Simple ATB plugin! Change ATB Gauge direction from horizontal to vertical! Screenshots Spoiler Parameters are set to defaults. Yanfly's BattleCore parameter adjusted according to the Compatibility section. BattleFace State from top to bottom, no ATB specified Debug1 - Waiting Debug2 - Inputting Debug3 - Undecided ATB Screenshots Spoiler Parameters for each screenshot are listed above it. All of these screenshots have the parameter ATB set to ellye and Gauges Behind set to 1. Below is the default look.

Version 1.0.1 is now available! Fixed the issue where this plugin would always reduce the number of skill columns to 1. Download

DustyCat Media said:
Hello Bobstah, setting this one to 0 would indeed leave the skill window alone; but, the list would still be considered as a single column
I've released a fix for this. Thank you for the bug report!

@firelad: What width would you like to adjust? I'll put this as an addition for 1.1, where I am also adding more face statuses and potentially adding a feature to expand the face portrait on an actor's turn.

Also, everyone, thank you for your patience when waiting for updates to this plugin. I mainly designed this layout for myself and did not think it would be used by many people. I released it as a plugin because I already had the code in-place. I also have a large rewrite of my Custom Stats plugin underway, as well as a brand new plugin coming this week.

I got to thoroughly test the plugin lately, and I want to say thank you again.

I am looking for customization of the Item Window in the same vein as the Skill Menu in the future as well. That way, I hope that both windows can display in a similar fashion for coherency.

Sorry, my English was failing me. Anyway... with your plugin above Yanfly's ATB system, the face is in front of the bar whenever it is set under name. I'm thinking if it is possible to adjust the width of the bar so it will not be behind the drawn face, but I'll like to switch between adjusted and non-adjusted width of the bar so I can customize to my liking.

The skill names does not look normal when the anchor is off.
I meant the skill columns isn't in two.

Version 1.1 is now available! Includes Ellye's Simple ATB support, Item Window formatting, and a vertical gauge framework! Download

This is now available in Version 1.1 Make sure you update the parameters after updating, or it will crash!

I looked at adding support for Yanfly's ATB, but I'd have to overwrite their ATB calculations to draw the gauge. This means that I would have to update my plugin every time they released an update to their ATB plugin. Ellye was kind enough to make changes to their plugin to accommodate this request, however. I'll reach out to Yanfly and see if they are willing to adjust their plugin in a similar way.

This is a great plugin !

I use it with Ellye's ATB and it's almost perfect.

I use also the PrettyGauges plugin by Rocketmancer, that changes the style of the gauges, but unfortunately, not "your" ATB jauge...

Do you think it could be possible ? A least for horizontal ATB Gauge...

Thanks !

I will look at integration with that plugin this week. Thank you for the suggestion! :)

Unfortunately, Yanfly isn't interesting in modifying their plugin. I've started the process of working around it, but it is taking a bit longer due to this.

I still haven't forgotten about the Pretty Gauges request, and I plan to come back and add that once my Socket plugin is stable and my next plugin is released.

Unfortunately, it is not compatible with Yanfly's ATB at this time. It is something I want to do, but it is not at the top of my list at this time. Sorry! :(

Please, implement also these functions :p :
1. White flash effect on the avatar for the active player or even a rectangle that selects the whole status of that actor (I mean from the avatar/atb to the mp/sp bar of the active actor).
2. Single-time red flash for when the actor is damaged, or even a shake effect that affects to the actor status plus the use of a different avatar for a set amount of time when the actor was damaged.
3. Light-red colored (or chosen by the user by FFFFFF~999999) avatar when the actor is in danger, or even change the font color of all status of that actor plus the use of a different avatar when the actor is in danger.
4. Black tonaly (or chosen by the user by FFFFFF~999999) avatar when the actor is dead, or even change the font color of all status of that actor to grey or another, because you already provided the option to change the face depending on the state, we just have to put the proper notetag in the death state for change the actor face.
5. Display a image background for the status instead of the window, or even a combination of these two so if we are using something like Yanfly's Options (VXACE which I'm sure is being ported to MV with extra functions) that allows personalize the window colors, we can combine it with a personalized gradient background image with drawings of dragons or elven writings for example, and the color is changed by the window skin, or even display a different background image for all the battle windows.
6. Use another window skin file for the Status Window or even a different window skin file for each window, this would overwrite any change made by another plugin (your plugin should be placed below these kind of plugins).
Amazing plugin by the way!

So far this is the battle window plugin i've enjoyed the most.
But all i wish was that this could fit for 3 party members or less

I'm having an issue with the skill's name, the cost is appearing above it

Hey Bob, found an issue.

Im using;

<BattleFace Inputting: 0, _act>

<BattleFace Waiting: 0, _act>

<BattleFace Undecided: 0, _act>

<BattleFace Casting: 0, _act>

1: This works as intended, but everytime my character uses an item, his portrait changes back to the original portrait for a second and then it goes back to the inputting/waiting portrait.

2: Sometimes right before the battle starts, I get the original portrait on my characters and it changes back to my intended inputs.

3: No matter what I modify, I cant change the icon position offset.

Are there other states that I can modify so it doesnt change what I mentioned?
