  1. Something that was very big for me back in VX Ace were the plugins that could add Boss Bars (Like Moghunter: https://atelierrgss.wordpress.com/rgss3-boss-hp-meter/ ) and enemy HP bars. The coolest thing was that you could change the interface graphically to design your own and using the script itself, you could change where it would appear on the screen and how wide/long the bar would be. I attempted to make a plugin that would allow the user to graphically create a bar, backdrop and battler image for the face but sadly, my limited knowledge of JS has failed me. 

    The reason I bring this up is that this plugin will be able to help players tell how much Health a boss or enemy has left, without having to consult the Bestiary and subtract the HP subtotal or guessing because it is a one time encounter.

    If I remember accurately, most Enemy Health bar plugins had something known as "float" in which case the HP bar would hover over the enemies head, or they could be at the enemies feet using a different setting.

    It would also be neat if the bar was pushed down when the battle hud appeared on screen so it was never covered, and would move back to its original position when the hud vanished. Below is an example of what I mean by the "hud appearing below the giant text when it appears while selecting a target". You can see that it would take over the image of the bar.

    I thought this would be a good request to put in since sometimes a boss bar is needed so some bosses don't feel like a grind. This would also be helpful for several other users I'm sure. I saw no other requests for this however so I thought I might drop one in.

    Thanks a tonne,
