Need help editing Threat System script (XP)
So I am working on integrating Fanatist's Threat System script into my game and I've come across a minor snag.
My goal is to move the threat gauge down so it's below the HP counter. I'd also like add the letters EF (Enemy Focus) to the left of the threat number.
My first and biggest problem is that while I have been able to move the Threat counter, it only moves to the correct spot for the first player character. The other two move down but are too far to the left.
My second problem is that I just don't know how to pop the desired "EF" in there. I can do without this if I need to, but I'd like to have it there.
If anyone with more experience might be up for taking a gander at the script (below) I'd appreciate the help.
(I used Hide rather Code because Code was giving me some weird problem where it stretches out so that it's unreadable.)

# ** Threat System
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# by Fantasist
# Version: 1.2
# Date: 23-Oct-2011
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version History:
#
# 1.0 - First version (13-July-2009)
# 1.1 - Fixed Force Action bug and added enemy-specific threat ignore (21-Oct-2011)
# 1.2 - Added disable by switch, threat by damage, fixed a display bug
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description:
#
# During battle, enemies will choose their targets based on their "threat"
# rather than randomly. The threat for an actor changes depending on what they
# do. For example, attacking raises threat and defending decreases threat.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Compatibility:
#
# Might be incompatible with other battle systems or battle addons.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Instructions:
#
# Place this script anywhere above "Main" and below "Scene_Debug".
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration:
#
# Scroll down a bit and you'll see the configuration.
#
# ATTACK_THREAT: Threat to increase when actor attacks
# DEFEND_THREAT: Threat to decrease when actor defends (read THREAT_BY_DAMAGE)
# THREAT_CHANCE: The chance of enemies attacking based on threat
# THREAT_SWITCH: Turn this ON to temporarily disable the threat system
# THREAT_BY_DAMAGE: When "true", an actor's threat increases by the damage
# caused to enemies. Enabling this ignores ATTACK_THREAT.
# When defending, actor's threat is divided by DEFEND_THREAT.
# THREAT_DISPLAY: Display players' threats besides their name
# THREAT_WINDOW: Whether to enable or disable threat window
# To enable it, set it to "true". If you want to set it's
# position and width, you can also set it to an array with
# it's X position, Y position and width (eg: ).
# ENEMY_IGNORE: List of enemy IDs which ignore the threat system
#
# Skill Threat Configuration:
#
# Look for "SKILL THREAT CONFIG BEGIN" and follow the example.
# In the given example:
#
# when 57 then
#
# the skill 57 (Cross Cut) increases user's threat by 10 and decreases the
# rest of the party's threat by 2.
#
# Item Threat Configuration:
#
# Works exactly the same as skill threat configuration.

Looking for an artist for some detail work
Hi all,
So I recently hired an artist to help me do the coloring and detailing for a character battler. Sadly, they backed out and now I'm looking for someone else to give it a go.
Rather than shoot off messages to random artists I find on Deviant Art, I'm wondering if anyone with talent here might be interested and looking for a bit of cash.
If you worked out there would be potential for more work and of course, a credit in the game
Here is the battler I need finished:

Looking for ideas for my battle screen layout.
So I'm dealing with a minor quandary. I'm making a demo for a game I hope to Kickstart and someday take commercial. Hoping to put my best foot forward I've invested in unique music and am still putting together a nice repertoire of custom art (both hand drawn and pixel) that I'm going to use to make a playable demo.
The thing is, my battle layout is the standard XP one and I think I need something a bit more unique to my project if I'm going to ask people to give me money. My problem is that I have no clue where to go with this.
I actually really like the basic XP layout and don't want to stray too far from that classic Dragon Quest style. That said, I know I need something....
As such I'm turning to you kind folks. I've posted a couple screens from my game below and if anyone has any ideas I'd be much appreciative. Moreover, if anyone has the ambition to help me actually put something together, I'd be willing to compensate them financially. I'm not rich so we're probably talking in the area of like $20, but hey, you can buy a copy of Dragon Quest V for $20, so that's something!
A few pertinent details:
-My art is tailored toward the aforementioned Dragon Quest static battle screens, so it has to fit that.
-The Carmichael character art is currently a placeholder. Another artist did a better piece that's currently being detailed.
-While the mockups have an SP counter there will be no SP in the actual game, just HP.
Let me know your thoughts!

Fog effects in battle?
So my artist just finished up a nice night time village background for me. Thing is, there's going to be a sequence in my demo where the village is being burned down and I'd like that to come across in battle. Is there any way to use a fog effect (or something) in battle to create a fiery/smoky haze over the background?
Here's the background for kicks!

Anyone played Final Fantasy VI as a PS1 Classic?
FFVI is probably my favorite game and I already own the GBA port. That said, I love my Vita and would prefer to play it on that platform if I could.
I am contemplating downloading the PS1 classic version of the game from the PlayStation Store but I know the PS1 version of FFVI was dogged by painful loading times. I'm wondering if anyone's played it on either the PS3, PSP, or the Vita and could attest to the quality of its performance?

Hand Drawn/Painted Tilesets
Custom pixel work is rather expensive, much more so in my experience than commissioning a more traditional artist. That said, I'm wondering if there is any precedent of using hand drawn/painted tilesets and sprites in an RPG Maker game.
I've searched around and found some "cel-shaded" tilesets that weren't really and some that were striving for a painted look but I've never seen one that eschews digital art altogether. I'm wondering if there's a particular reason why? Is it not possible or would it just be really difficult to pull off.
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. It just didn't strike me as a Help/Request sort of question!

Have a concern about my art assets and could use an opinion.
Hi all!
I'm building up some resources to make a demo for my game and recently I've begun to have some concerns that I might be digging myself into a bit of a hole. I have commissioned some talented artists to make custom battle backgrounds, battlers, etc for my game but as the work comes along I'm starting to worry that maybe it won't mesh well with the more standard pixel art that will be making up the game outside of battle... I will fess up to not being super experienced about these matters and was hoping I could get some opinions.
Here's an example of the art out of battle:

Odd issue as a result of scripting (XP)
Hi all.
I've recently been playing around with the Sacrifice HP script made by LockeZ along with a script that removes SP from the game.
The problem I'm having, and I can only guess that it's as a result of my adding these scripts to the game is that when a character's HP hits zero, they can now perform actions. If all player characters die you still get a game over, but until that happens death is fairly inconsequential! Kind of puts a damper on the experience!
The two scripts can be found below. They were made to work with one another. I'm just hoping someone with more experience than I could take a gander and see if there's anything present that could be the root of the problem.

Changing the battle screen layout (XP)
Just a curiosity.
Is there any way, script or otherwise, that people know of to alter the layout of XP's standard battle screen? I like simple turn-based combat but I'm looking for a battle screen that's a tad different from the standard one. Any recommendations would be appreciated! :)

How do people port their games?
Hi all.
I am slowly inching toward making a game but I would eventually like to sell it. Forgive me, I know some frown on the whole "make an RPG Maker game for profit" thing but I'm of the mind that if I can do something I enjoy and make money doing it, then why the bleep not?
Any who, I have seen in my research people mentioning porting their projects using Unity and I was wondering if anyone knew exactly how this is done? I'm not so confused mechanics wise (there are simple add-ons you can buy to add in RPG mechanics)but more terrain wise. All the 2D stuff I've found (I bought UniTile) seems to be tailored toward making sidescrollers and such. I'd like to create a game of the top down variety and haven't had much luck figuring that out.
