Verus Tempus Proelium (VTP)
Authors: Vlad, (soon Jragyn)
Version: 1.0
Type: On-the-map Active Battle System
Key Term: Custom Battle System
IntroductionWell, first off, this isn't my script.
It was written by a fellow who names himself 'vlad'.
He also crafted a heavier version of this by the name of "Vampyr's SBABS".
This script is similer to Blizz's ABS he made, but its for VX.
It allows for the player to play and execute battle actions on the map.
Games like Zelda and Secret of Mana function like this.
The system isn't perfect.
Features
- Allows for quick action-based battles on the map.
- No need for sprite building or animations, it uses the basic character set!
- Functions with no custom input, allowing for use of USB Game Controllers.
- Utilizes the -note system- of VX for specifying many things, details for weapons etc.
Screenshots
DemoThe Demo you should download for reference.
ScriptThe Script REQUIRES at least the top two, in this order, while the extras are...well...extra.
InstructionsThe instructions from the author are somewhat dated, and I will be providing a text document or something to explain...everything. Or as close to it as possible.
QuoteHow to setup enemy events and the database.
Just ask in the forum if you have questions, I'll try to help if I can.
CompatibilityI can't imagine it working too well with other Map-based battle systems.
I am working on functionality in regards to other scripts, and will release modifications as I create them.
It DOES work with the RGSS2+ thingie, as suggested by the second screenshot above.
Should it be compatible with something? Gimme suggestions, I'll see if I can...
It is GAY when it comes to 8directional movement. Though the movement works, it screws up the attacking and all that jazz, and I haven't tackled the task of trying to fix it.
Credits and Thanks
- Vampyr! You crafted the base for it. gj.
- J, myself, because I'm trying to support it? lol.
Author's NotesRemember, the script isn't MINE, but I am trying to provide updates and fixes for it as the bugs come out, and also adding other features...though it'll likely be part of a bundley thingie, so it may be a bit before I release it/them.
Otherwise, have at it and have fun! ABS for VX yo.
(btw, if anyone has a better site or something that I could host these scripts on, lemme know, cuz I feel weird slapping them on Pastebin...)
