my new battle system (screen shots and feedback)

[Calintz]

If you decide to make the command window horizontal, it opens up a ton of new options.

You could place it under the Status Window like I had originally mentioned, or you could place it above the Help Window as earlier stated, but you could also cascade the help and command windows to equal the full 640px. You have a lot of options.
You could even place the Help Window above the Command Window, but I wouldn't care too much for that I don't think.

I think it would look best horizontal but agains the right side of the screen

[Calintz]

LMAO you guys are such rebels!!
Everything in this world is left justified for a reason, Lol.

So everything flows together. It's an eyesore to adjust to the new placement.

Make a module to allow options.....

Left, center, or right justify

horizontal, or veritcal

[Calintz]

That would be the best ...
That is what I did in my edit of Reno's script.

[Valcos]

The other windows in the system should look like the HP/SP bar window at the top. Just think it would flow better as a whole. 

Otherwise, its looking good so far.

um... I don't know. I considered that in the beginning but it seemed like it just wouldn't look right with the status bar the way it is it add beauty to the system and yet doesn't clash with anything else if i made even one more window in to a black box i would have to do the same for all the windows and then i think it would clash with everything else... what do you think of that idea Calintz?

[Calintz]

To be honest I would have to see screenshots to make an actual decision.

Argh! Modules are only good for static options, that's a dynamic option!

lol

so make constants outside the Module?

[G_G]

add a game system thing than

class Game_System
  attr_accessor :alignment
  attr_accessor :commandwindow
  alias battle_system_config initialize
  def initialize
    battle_system_config
    @alignment = 0, 1, or 2 # 0 = center, 1 = left, 2 = right
    @commandwindow = 0 or 1 # 0 = horizontal 1 = vertical
  end
end

[Calintz]

That is actually quite brilliant Game_Guy ...

[G_G]

That makes it so it can be changed in game where a module makes it so it has to be changed in the editor and cannot be changed in game.

[Calintz]

Gives the player even more control ...
What's more, this would add an extra feature to the Menu's Options tab.

That is the route I would take.
You could set the default in the script, and just let the player choose in-game how he would like it.

[G_G]

Maybe make an addon in your menu Ryex. If you do use this and take this route have it check in your menu options

if $ryexbattle >= version here
  alignment choice
  command choice
end

  alias battle_system_config initialize

    @commandwindow = 0 or 1 # 0 = horizontal 1 = vertical
  end
end

This is what I always do.

Spoiler: ShowHide

mock up of having the windows look like the status bar

[Valcos]

NICE!

I think it looks way better like that. Looks good 

[G_G]

That looks way better. I cant wait to use that battle system. Maybe you should also include an option to use characters instead of battlers.
