  #==============================================================================
  #
  #  INTRODUCTION:
  #
  #  This script is not a battlesystem but a graphic overlay system that can con-
  #  vert a frontview 'Strategy'  battlesystem into a Sideview battlesystem.   It
  #  has gone through a number of changes over the months that I have put my spin
  #  on the system, originally coded by Minkoff himself.
  #
  #  As of now, this system works  with the default battlesystem, the RTAB system
  #  by Cogwheel, ParaDog's ATB, XRXS's system,  and a number of systems designed
  #  by Trickster.
  #
  #  Again,  this system  changes the  'graphic'  overlay system  and is meant to
  #  change the battlers  and battler's startup positions  for a sideview system.
  #  It is not meant  to alter  anything else,  including combat values,  defense
  #  levels, or any other graphics other than those related to the battlers them-
  #  selves.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #  REGARDING:
  #  Skill and Item Scopes:
  #  Until recently,  the revised system did not allow  for target scopes beyond
  #  a single target.  This was unintentional and unforseen.   However, with the
  #  revision made in version 7.3, this was corrected. But, skills or items that
  #  have a target scope of  'None'  would still create an error if this form of
  #  attack is set in either $moving_item_atk or $moving_skill_atk hashe arrays.
  #  Don't supply the id #'s of any 'None' scope skills/items into these hashes.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #  COMPATABILITY ISSUES:
  #
  #  RTAB:  Connected Attacking
  #  A powerful add-on to the RTAB system by Cogwheel, this script allows an ac-
  #  tor to apply multiple hits on a target.  At first, there was no auto-detect
  #  feature which gave ME MIGRANES... having to use insert switch in the config
  #  section.  Now there is one.  The only caveat is that you must STILL comment
  #  out or remove the entire 'action_phase' routine in Con. Attacking (which is
  #  roughly lines 30 to 80).
  #
  #  LARGE PARTY (Fomar0153's)
  #  In order  to take advantage of the 'Large Party' system,  and still keep the
  #  actors and enemies in the proper viewport,  the second half of Fomar's Large
  #  Party script (the Battlestatus Page) must be placed under Animated Battlers.
  #  The first page  must still  be pasted  above the  battlesystem script(s)  as
  #  before.  Please follow all of Fomar0153's instructions as always.
  #
  #==============================================================================
  #
  #   ADDITIONAL CALLS AVAILABLE PRIOR TO COMBAT:
  #
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  SIDEVIEW MIRROR:     This value switches  the positions  of both enemies and
  #                       heroes to opposite ends of the screen.
  #
  #   Script : $sideview_mirror = [number]
  #   number : a value indicating whether the hero & enemy positions are switched
  #            0 = Default:  Enemies on the left, Heroes on the right
  #            1 = Switched: Heroes on the left, Enemies on the right
  #
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  BATTLER FORMATIONS:  This value changes the way your heroes line up when the
  #                       battle starts.
  #
  #   Script : $formation_style = [number]
  #   number : a value indicating the type of formation your heroes will use
  #            0 = Diagonal (Default)    4 = Column Pattern 1
  #            1 = Diagonal Pattern 2    5 = Column Pattern 2
  #            2 = Slanted Pattern 1     6 = Wave Formation 1
  #            3 = Slanted Pattern 2     7 = Wave Formation 2
  #
  #            8 = Randomized (system will choose from 0 to 7)
  #
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #  FORMATION OPTIONS:   These values  may expand your system  to go beyond the
  #                       default four player system.
  #
  #   Script : $formation_max_member = [number]
  #   number : A value indicating the maximum number of members in your party.
  #             (default = 4)
  #             
  #   Script : $formation_max_height = [number]
  #   number : A value indicating (in pixels) the top height of your party shown
  #            in the Battle Screen.  The higher the number, the lower the party
  #            on the screen. (default = 220)
  #
  #   Script : $formation_max_width  = [number]
  #   number : The left/right width of the party's formation.  (default = 128)
  #
  #   Script : $battlestatus_height = [number]
  #   number : The actual height of your battlestatus window. (default = 160)
  #
  #  NOTE: The combined $formation_max_height and $battlestatus_height determines
  #        the vertical distance between battlers in their formation.
  #

First you download the Demo, and open it up with RPGXP. Then you look into the scripts and modify what you wish, and follow the instructions inside. I have been planning to use something like this really. I just need to learn how to move things around (like the health bars and enemy name placements) and I should be fine.

hey, sorry for the major necro, but i was wondering if anyone knew how to change the default actor in this script? say for instance on load up the default actor is the one with the id of 7 in my actor list, and i want it to be id 1, i also cant change the names of the default actors, when i do it comes up with an error when launching the battle system, and cant see anywhere that defines them in the scripts  :<_<: one last thing :D i was wondering if its possible to switch party members around, as i want my game to consist of many playable actors, thanks if anyone can help, it will be much appreciated :)
