CHERRY'S PROFILE

author=dragonheartman
So Large, it sounds like you want time-based regenerative effects rather than turn-based. That's actually fairly easy to implement as well. Every couple frames you can check if an ATB has updated, and if so, add/subtract health from the actors that are affected with the stat effects.

@Feld, there was a battle system patch that cherry posted on his site, the only issue was that it was largely specific to a certain project and wasn't general enough to be of much use (if I recall correctly). DynRPG works best I'm learning with smaller modular patches that just target specific features so users can pick and choose the patches of their liking.

For example, in SU I have the following plugins:

- menu_updater.dll, which updates stats dynamically in the menu (such as max HP) when certain gear is equipped
- animated_monsters.dll, which animates every monster. Even cooler, the poses are stored in a folder based on the monster name, so I have something like /Monster/Green Slime/1.png for the first monster frame. I want to see if I can include additional animations (such as death and maybe even hurt) before I release this.
- threat.dll, which actually handles the new "Focus" System and some of the DBS interface updates. This has bloated out to handle all sorts of DBS tweaks here and there and I wish I'd actually go back and separate some of this out, but for now it is what it is.
- condition_icons.dll is a modification of Cherry's condition icons so the conditions are animated.

Lastly, I've been having more ideas than time, so I haven't been able to rapidly develop all of the ideas for plugins I've come up with, but I thought of another you guys might like: a proper Enter Hero Name command. ;)

I just wish I could actually sit down and do these instead of saying "OH IT'S EASY GUYS"
