Bestiary
Authors: Blizzard
Version: 2.4
Type: Enemy Catalogue Display
Key Term: Player / Party / Troop Add-on

Introduction

This script will allow your characters to retrieve information about enemies during battle and show them in a window. It also has built-in compatibility for my "Advanced Analyze System" script and allows adding enemies to it only if enemies were analyzed at least once. This script can easily be used for Pokémon typed games.

Author's Notes

You MUST configure the script if you have scripts that use dummy elements! Do NOT give your enemies MORE than 11 elements/status effects of one resistance type (e.g. 12 or more elements, that are absorbed), because they won´t be displayed.

If you find any bugs, please report them here:

That's it! N-Joy! =D

Hey Blizzard I was wondering if you could please make a call script call that will allow me to add enemies to the bestiary, this will help majorly for compatibility with ABSs. So you use the call script and in the call script somewhere is the enemy's ID that you would like to add. If you could please do this I would be gratful, thank you for reading this post.

Sase

I'm pretty out but isn't it something like $game_system.beasts.push(id)

Thanks for the quick reply but it didn't work, but no error, wierd. Here is what I put as a call script "$game_system.beasts.push(29)", i'm not sure but I don't think there is one. That's why I asked. Thanks for trying though ;).

NVM it worked, with $game_system.add_beast(enemy.id) you have to take the 's' off of beasts.

Blizzard

Yeah, I did make an extra command. ^_^

Hi I'm using this script and I wanted to no if someone could adapt your script so that when the buttom was pressed to open the beastiary it was done in the script instead of having an event on every page that would controll it.

thanx if you can.   :) :) :)

Starrodkirby86

Do you want the Bestiary to be launched on the Menu instead of using an event? That's the only thing I can pick out of it...

Try going for these posts:
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=115.msg26363#msg26363
For this link, just replace everything that says RO Skill/System with Beastiary.

Here's another post with that information.

Use both. :)

What's osu!? It's a rhythm game. Thought I should have a signature with a working rank. ;P It's now clickable!
Still Aqua's biggest fan (Or am I?).

Do you think or help me by making this work with animated battlers. What line(s) would I edit so I could divide the battlers bitmap width and height?

Please help!

fugibo

Just splice the code from the add-on into this script. It's not hard.

G_G

No not the tons of add ons the actual RTAB or whatever sideview animated battlers.
It has 11 poses each pose has 4 frames. Not the one from tons of add ons.

fugibo

Hmm.

So.

Find the code from the battle system.

Splice it in.

Done.

Hey, i hope this isn´t necroing, but i want to know, can i add enemies to the bestiary,when they´re killed, if i use BABS? I mean, you wouldn´t analyze, but add them to it once they´ve been killed. If i´m not clear enough, tell me what you need to know more specific.
