Holders Animated Battlers -streamline- Give your battles that unique look and make it stand out! Can be used with any engine since RPG Maker XP to MZ and even Unite! Set-up guide: https: //animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/rm-mz-akea-2/ Open project demo: https://holder-anibat.itch.io/holder-aab-demonstration Set-up guide: https://animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/mv-battler-graphic-setup/ Visual weapons add-on: https://github.com/foppii/Tei_CustomWeaponOverlay Demo: https://github.com/foppii/Tei_CustomWeaponOverlay/commit/09b84257295893e226a047b024b0d3a2afc1f3bd Set-up guide: https://animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/ve-animatedbattle/ Set-up guide: https://animatedbattlers.wordpress.com/scripts/set-up-guides/xp-animbat/ Spoiler: About Holders Animated Battlers Holders Animated Battlers is a project which I started early 2011 time ago to give everyone who's developing an RPG a chance to have a consistent and solid collection of animated battlers. Since then I've improved in what I can do and what I'd like to see this project be. It's now in it's third and final version and I've combined all my knowledge to start as a means to go on. First goal I've set it to have a basic set of enemies and a full set of bases containing 15 classes! Each will have two different weapons available giving some nice alternative classes which will double the total class range to 30. Spoiler: How they work Actors and Enemies will follow the same style and format so they can even be used as either depending on your preference. I've created this to be as flexible as possible. Also with that the format style is not to that of any default RPG Maker engine, reason for this is that the engine keeps changing what's default. So outside scripts and plug-ins are always required to use these. I've started creating guides and help to use these in whatever engine you're using. If you'd like to submit your own guide (Video or Text) I'm open to submissions. Thank you and enjoy. Spoiler: Examples The best way to show your weapons in battle! Have them seen all the time during the fight and simply equip different weapons to see the difference in battle! Once set up adding new weapons is easy and so effective on your players. Give every weapon their own unique look in battle, from swords to guns, there's thousands of weapons that you can have your party use! 32x32 images for actors and monsters, includes all colour variations and without boarder. Use in battles, save file previews, mini-maps and more. 32x32 weapon icons for every weapon there is! Plus for every weapon there's a single still image file for a close look at the weapon. Use in menus, shops, info books and even in pop up windows when collecting. Single large weapon images for those special shops Character and enemy images come in Portraits, Busts and Face cropped sizes.

Well it was only yesterday since I released the male Knight but with thanks to inazumas design I've brought one of his monsters to life. Original sprite by inazuma, animated by me. I hope to do this again.

A mimic barrel.

Incredible stuff! How did I not see this before? There's plenty of personality to all of these sprites. And on a personal note, seeing mag sprites is a treat as a fan of the PS series.

@Biestmann Thanks that means a lot, I try to get as much character into the battlers as I can :)
It might be because it's in the general resources since these aren't engine specific.

I'm desperate for PSO to come to the UK, but there's been no talk of that yet, the beta was XBox US only which is a shame. I loved the idea of bringing the little mags into RPG Maker, https://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/16414-battle-pets/ Galv made it possible in VXAce and they've got all their PSO traits.

Added two different barrels and two screenshots for XP and VXAce

Love that you returned to doing it!
Sadly for me only is that i made a bunch of battlers for my game in the style of the older humans

Been working on expanding the Dungeon type of enemies. Still working on sizes and the idle poses.

Needless to say I had a pretty productive night, and super happy with how these are coming along.

Thank you for those kind words, always like to see these are helping people with their projects and people enjoying them.
Hope to see MZ being able to use them eventually if there's an audience for them.

Bit of update news:
I've been reworking how I upload my weapons for bases, got them in three different sheets; the full complete sheet, one for what goes behind the base and the last for what'll be on the layer above the base.

Also completed my Male Archer base, planning to do one job f per gender for a first batch then completing the alternative gender for the released classes.

Stay safe and enjoy, discords always open for those wanting to join: discord.gg/Jkd4XDC

Those new battlers are spotless. You are absolutely amazing.

Half finished mock up, on top of my female squire template.

I'm actually really close to deciding to do animated battler sheets in MV/MZ format. But with that I'd NEED to include Advance & Enter poses, replacing Ready Physical & Stabbing. Shooting pose is redundant so that could be where I place credits.

I think you should keep the size for VXAce as it still fits MV/MZ, in a way that you don't need to resize them or start from scratch again.
The work you've done so far is brilliant and I'm always looking forward your releases.

Thank you :) The size itself will stay the same it's the sheet format that I was looking into altering. Well I'll still release the 14 pose 4 frame versions but something else that works by default(ish) with MV/MZ

I didn't have long today so I started some wooden weapons for a visual equipment side of things.
Holder

Completed Level 1, Wooden and now working on a Necromanic set.

After that I'm leaving them there for now, go back to the bases for at least one gender to use them. Hopefully by that point I'd be able to have someone to help me work on a plug-in for MZ to use the alterations for the default battler layout and a visual weapon plug-in.

That's the example of what I'm after. A lot of them are the same as the RTP layout.
Holder

#240 Aug 23, 2020, 11:27 PM Source

Almost completed! Just a few different genders to finish.

Also finished the third weapon set. I don't think I'll do any more of these for a while unless I get distracted, still gotta fully rotate the ones I've done. Dot's are for position references when I apply to the battler frame.

Finished all the single poses.
