Introduction
This script overhauls the default battle system and replaces it with a "CTB" system similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy X.
Battlers now use their speed to charge up a hidden turn gauge, and when it's full, they get a turn immediately.
This causes turns to alternate in a semi-predictable order, making for a more strategic battle system.
Features
- Customizable "charge rate" formula: you can use any stat to determine turn order and adjust it to fit your experience curve
- Dedicated turn window so you'll always know whose turn is next.
- Weapons/Skills/Items can be set to boost/hamper speed when used, allowing you to create "quick attack" skills that let the user act sooner or "mega-death" skills that use up two turns.
- Designate specific enemies as "bosses" which will give them a special icon.
- Can customize turn icons on a per actor or per enemy basis.
- Customize the "escape" term.
- Built-in "scan" skill that's easy to set up and use.
- Optional expansion to add icons for states, removing the boring state text.
- Optional expansion to add a beastiary
How to Use
Download the zip file. Import the EnemyIcons pictures into your project into the "pictures" folder.
Open the text file containing the script and copy/paste it into the script editor below all of the default scripts but above Main.
FAQ
