Oh well; I'll stay tuned in case inspiration strikes you to add it. ;) Thanks again for your amazing work!!!

EDIT:

Editing this to say I've got my sideview battlers alive and well!  Still struggling to get weapon animations (nothing is happening yet), but for now, I blame myself; hopefully I'll figure this out.  Thank you for another amazing plugin!

EDIT 2:

I figured out my problem!  I think.  This is in reference to a skill - it's a spell of water magic.  The battle animation from Action Sequence Pack 2 (motion swing: user) is leading my party members to swing their wands before casting the spell, then it performs an animation on the target and does damage.  With sideview, the same swing animation occurs, but the enemy doesn't display a weapon (though there seems to be a few pixels of something inexplicable flashing over its head for a frame).  I've made sure they have a weapon equipped, I've even added the <Sideview Weapon: 27> tag, as it uses custom weapon #3, and yet, no weapon appears.  The party members are using the same custom weapon #3 with no problem.  I tried changing the weapon to any of the other 30 animations, and the enemy never displays their weapon via the Action Sequence Pack 2 call for them to swing it.  Could you look into this?  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Dear Yanfly,

 

In your Animated Sideview Enemies plugin, the Scale function can be used in a more random fashion?

Think how it would be magical a tag like:

<Scale: 90 to 110%>

 

Thus the Rat would vary somewhat in size, increasing the density game!

 

Grateful for the attention.

Hey Yanfly,

Not sure if you noticed but when the party only has one actor, the Battle Status tends to look a little weird. The Gauges span the entire length of the window with the Actor graphic on the far right side. The Damage popup, however, still appears over what I assume is the actor position set by the plugin. (In this case, on the far left)

I remember in your old Battle Status script, you had an option to keep the graphics and gauges centered based on the party size.

Is it possible to include that option in your next update?

Yanfly,

I was playing around with your item upgrade plugin and I was surprised to find it was far more limited than I'd expected.  There doesn't seem to be any way to add or modify any traits, nor can you modify stats by a percentage.  What I'd like to do, for example, is create a whetstone you can use on your weapons that adds +50% slash element to the weapon.  The idea is pretty simple, you can use a whetstone on something like a Staff, but since it uses crush damage it's really only going to be useful if you want to use it with a skill that has the slash element, but using it on something like a Sword would be more practical.  As another example, you might use a fire gem to add a fire element to your weapon, or enchant a weapon to change it's attack element altogether.  I'm playing around with the whole different types of attacks and resistances thing, and spirit enemies are pretty resilient against physical attacks (slash, crush, pierce) but I'd like to be able to add a 'special' element to weapons that they are weak against and it would be nice if it could be added by upgrading your weapon.

Also, a generic shadow for static enemies would be nice too.  It would really allow the floating effect to stand out, but I think it's like a poor man's SSAO, it just adds a little character to the scene no matter what.

Whether or not you do anything with this, thanks for all your hard work over the years.

EDIT:  I just realized that element rate, again, doesn't affect how much damage you do but how much your receive.  I wanted to make weapons work on their elements instead, but I guess that's both more complicated and less possible than I thought right now.

After the last patch, my instant cast libra skill now causes the game to crash.

@thechancellor: You're right about that. It looks way off with less members. In the VXA version the dimensions were set and the actors' windows would divide the space based on the current number of actors in the party. This was done without stretching. Without centering it would just occupy the corresponding slots in the window like this:  [ Actor 1 | Empty | Empty | Empty ]

Since the resolution is easily changed in MV, it would be better to just divide the window space based on the max number of party members to set how big each individual actor status window can be, and then use the two methods above.

@Yanfly: I found a visual bug for CTB. If you have enemies appear halfway through the battle they don't have their Letter tags on their turn order graphics. The regular BattleEngineCore assigns the extra Letters just fine though. 

Hey Yanfly!

I'm not sure if I asked this before (If I did then my apologies) But I was wondering if it would be possible to increase the jp cost everytime it is used. (preferably by a set amount or maybe a percentage), using your own tips and tricks of course.

<Learn Cost: 500 JP>

<Learn Cost Eval>

user._paramPlus[0] += 300;

user.forgetSkill(52);

user.refresh();

</Learn Cost Eval>

I'm trying to implement your CTB plugin and I'm having an issue. I'm not getting an error message but it's still using the dtb system. I've changed it over in the Battle Engine Core plugin.

I tried making a new project and starting with just the base plugins I needed to test and then slowly added in all of my plugins and... it worked fine all the way through, so I'm not sure how to figure out where the error is at this point.

Start a new game with your old project. If you're loading from an old file, you're loading the default battle system there which was DTB.

ACTION EFFECT: 15%

ACTION EFFECT: 65%

Hi Yanfly,

I was wondering if it was possible, using the action sequence, to have a little control on the damage dealt. I explain.

I have a character that use a three hit combo as their standard attack, but I don't want to have each hit deal the formula's damage exactly. The two first hits are rather weak, it is to weaken a bit the foe's awareness to have the last hit deal the most damage. So, in order, I'd want the hits to go by percentages 20%, 15% and then 65%.

I'm asking if it is possible at all to be able to put,

in order to have even more control of damage (or healing) received upon using the Action Sequences...

What you described sounds a lot like the action sequences you get from using Damage Core extention plug-in. Give it a try. :)

Have you tried it with other weapon ID's? I'm having no issues displaying it on mine.
