Very nice, I always enjoy a plugin that gives some customizing features.

Is there any way of adding that LP stat as a variable from you Permadeath plugin, say instead of the TP or something?

Will it be a gauge or just text?

For me, I would like just the text.

Make a plugin, paste this code in and adjust it if you want, then turn the plugin on.

alias_Window_BattleStatus_drawItem = Window_BattleStatus.prototype.drawItem;
Window_BattleStatus.prototype.drawItem = function (index) {
alias_Window_BattleStatus_drawItem.call(this, index);
var actor = $gameParty.battleMembers()[index];
var variableId = actor.actor().meta.NoPermadeathVariable;

if (!variableId) {
return;
}

var rect = this.itemRect(index);

variableId = parseInt(variableId.trim());

// adjust the text as you wish
var text = "LP: " + $gameVariables.value(variableId);

// adjust the x position by changing 0 to something else
var x = rect.x + 0;

// adjust the y position by changing 0 to something else
var y = rect.y + 0;

this.drawTextEx(text, x, y);
};

This will draw the lifepoints of the actor. The way it is in this example it is drawn on the upper left, but you can adjust it.

I really like how you set up your HUD. What settings would I have to change to emulate that?

Thanks so much!

This is nice! How can i remove the MP bar and place there only a circle bar with a counter inside showing the current amount of MP? Or just the counter without the circle bar, or something like the picture

You can remove the mp bar by turning the Draw MP Gauge parameter off.

I haven't seen a circle gauge in MV before.

Here's how to draw the actor's current mp. Adjust x and y values as you want.

alias_Window_BattleStatus_drawItem = Window_BattleStatus.prototype.drawItem;
Window_BattleStatus.prototype.drawItem = function (index) {
alias_Window_BattleStatus_drawItem.call(this, index);
var actor = $gameParty.battleMembers()[index];

var rect = this.itemRect(index);

// adjust the text as you wish
var text = "" + actor.mp;

// adjust the x position by changing 0 to something else
var x = rect.x + 0;

// adjust the y position by changing 0 to something else
var y = rect.y + 0;

this.drawTextEx(text, x, y);
};

I used these functions and put into a plugin:

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.DXIconX = function (actor, rect) {
if (actor.actor().meta.IsPlayer) {
return rect.x + this.textPadding();
}

var availableSpace = this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect);

var x2 = rect.x + rect.width;
if (availableSpace < actor.allIcons().length * Window_Base._iconWidth) {
return x2 - (actor.allIcons().length * Window_Base._iconWidth) - this.textPadding();
} else {
return rect.x + Window_Base._faceWidth;
}
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.DXIconW = function (actor, rect) {
if (actor.actor().meta.IsPlayer) {
return rect.width - (this.textPadding() * 2);
}

var x2 = rect.x + rect.width;

if (this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect) + Window_Base._iconWidth
< actor.allIcons() * Window_Base._iconWidth) {
return x2 - (x2 - (actor.allIcons() * Window_Base._iconWidth));
} else {
return this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect) + Window_Base._iconWidth;
}
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.DXThreshold = function () {
return 64;
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.DXGaugeNameX = function (actor, rect) {
if (actor.actor().meta.IsPlayer) {
return rect.x + this.textPadding();
}

var availableSpace = this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect);

if (availableSpace > this.DXThreshold()) {
return rect.x + rect.width - (this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect));
} else {
return rect.x + rect.width - (this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect)
+ Window_Base._iconWidth);
}
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.DXGaugeNameWidth = function (actor, rect) {
if (actor.actor().meta.IsPlayer) {
return rect.width - (this.textPadding() * 2);
}

var availableSpace = this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect);

if (availableSpace > this.DXThreshold()) {
return this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect) - this.textPadding();
} else {
return (this.DXRectFreeSpace(rect) - this.textPadding())
+ Window_Base._iconWidth;
}
};

Window_BattleStatus.prototype.DXRectFreeSpace = function (rect) {
return rect.width - Window_Base._faceWidth;
};

For gauge/name x parameters:

this.DXGaugeNameX(actor, rect)

For gauge/name width parameters:

this.DXGaugeNameWidth(actor, rect)

For Hp Gauge Y:

rect.y + this.lineHeight()

For Mp Gauge Y:

rect.y + this.lineHeight() * 2

For name y:

rect.y

For icons x:

this.DXIconX(actor, rect)

For icons y:

rect.y + rect.height - Window_Base._iconHeight - this.textPadding()

In the screenshot I had also had adjust columns in YEP Battle Status Window turned on and I edited the gauge height/font size in YEP Core Engine.

I didn't use TP so for that you'll have to decide what you put in. It's a good idea to learn a little programming to get things exactly the way you want.

Oh I know a bit of Javascript. I've coded and translated a lot of scripts from Ruby to Javascript. (All on my own mind you) Just didn't know where to start!

Thanks. :D

Not sure if you're still taking suggestions, but... The Battle Animations.

Displaying them OVER the Battle Hud would be ideal for Frontview Battle Systems. By default, Yanfly has the priority of the battle animations lower than the Battle Status Window, so they're displayed behind it.

1.1:

Added parameter to get frontview animations displayed over battle status window

Added parameter to help get hud looking like my example screenshot
Added parameter to decide whether face image gets drawn for actor
Fixed default parameter for MP Gauge Width

Looks really nice :D

By the way, do you mind giving me a start on how to reposition the window and make it vertically?

If it's not present, I would like to make it as a request then :p

Thank you for this plugin by the way!

#17 Jul 29, 2016, 06:23 AM Source

1.2

Now requires Yanfly's Battle Engine Core
Added Battle Status Window X, Y, Width, Height parameters
Added Actor Command X, Y, Width, Height parameters
"Frontview Animations On Top" parameter now displays damage popup above window as well
Added parameter for animations/popups displaying near the center of the actor's face image
in frontview
Added compatibility with Yanfly's Visual HP Gauge

Edit: Note: The damage popup x value for centering doesn't account for the text length without Victor Sant's Damage Popups plugin, which I really recommend. I wrote an extension for it to get it to work with Battle Engine Core here.

It's possible now with the parameters I added. That said, it's probably better if you give me a mock-up or example of what you want it to look like and I can help you out from there.

Wow! as you requested, i did some screenshots of my previous system and I thought I would like to reproduce it using this marvelous plugin :p

How the party command looked:

Spoiler

How the actor command looked:

Spoiler

The actor command window would change position to align with the corresponding actor:

Spoiler

This was done using Mog_BattleHud, but I wanted to switch to yours since it's more friendly with other plugins (mainly VE_DamagePopup)

So I request other things, but sure is optional since it derives from your plugin's goal:

- Align Actor Command with Actor's faces (Optional)

- Customize Party Command Width, Height, X and Y position

- (Very optional) Customize other windows Width, Height, X and Y position (including Help Window, Skill Window, Target Window, Item Window, etc)

Other than that, since you did a very good effort just for satisfying my request, I will customize my windows myself using your plugin. After all, it's my turn to work on it a little bit :p

Customizing other windows would be nice, but please do it only if you feel it will help others or if you want to do it anyway.

With this, thank you for your plugin and sorry for my english :D

I like the extra customization given by this extension, but it seems like there is a lot of wasted space in between the actor's name, and the HP/MP bars, at least in my usage case because I don't use TP or ATB. The empty space could be filled by more state icons, but for some reason, they only ever show one single row of them. Is it possible to use this to show more than one row of state icons?

I don't have a widescreen resolution, so I can only get a maximum of four icons to show onscreen using this setup, without using the battle status plugin I was able to show six icons by decreasing the gauge and name areas.

All of this is customizable. How much space is left can be configured by changing the x, y, width and height values of the parameters. By default without changing any parameters, the battle status window should look exactly how it would if you only used Yanfly's plugin without this extension.

The default without any plugins is to also show only one row.

But showing more than one row is a good idea so I made a new parameter for icons height. If it is an integer multiple higher than 1 of the icon height, then more than one row will be shown. For example, with the default icon height, if you wanted to show 2 rows, you'd use 64. For 3 rows, 96, etc. I've made sure it's compatible with Yanfly's turn/counters/buff rate text on the icon from their Buff States Core plugin.
