INFURIATING QUESTIONS OF A NEWBIE

I think these are probably going to be really dumb questions, or questions that get spammed a lot by newbies - So if you've got Newb-Intolerance then I suggest covering your eyes and running away from this post! D:

I've only got one question for now, but I'm sure I'll find many, many more!

I'm not a fan of the VX Ace Battle UI, the old one was much nicer - When you could see the portraits of your heroes. Is there anyway to change the UI to add the portraits in without using scripts? I've looked at the Yanfly UI script stuff but that's way, way too complicated for me to even begin to fathom D:
Changing the battle system at all would require at least some minor scripting. I'm not enough of a scripter to tell you how, sadly, but I know there are a ton of much more simple battle scripts out there that you might find useful.
Implementing that particular Yanfly script is not complicated, it's a simple copy and paste work. You don't need to know anything about programming at all.

Not as simple as you might think :<

Tried copy pasting the script thingy lots of times into the script editor and it just comes up with errors when I try to start the game.

What about enemy health bars, can these be added without scripts? :D

No, but there is a simple script that does it. When you download a script you can open it and read the instructions section. Some scripts require other "base scripts" to work properly. That's probably happening to you because most battle scripts work that way.

There's the yanfly channel with all his scripts. You can see there is a core engine on top, and then a battle engine script below. And then below the battle scripts section there is an enemy health bar script that uses the battle engine.
Basically anything that is indented to the right relies on the script above it on that page.

I could add both to a new project in about two minutes by simple copying and pasting. Did you put them on the right place?
You have to follow the directions in the scripts - if it says it needs a certain script to work, get that script. They also need to be placed below the Materials area, but above Main Processes. (Pressing INS will create more slots, btw)
