ZEELLO'S PROFILE

Its probably another yanfly script. Today I downloaded a script that makes the health bars look like the ones in the screenshots. Which made me think that most likely the party members is yet another script.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/core-scripts/party-system/
I think I'm good with 4 party members, even though the screenshots make it seem like 5 can be comfortably fit on screen so long as you have the Core Engine script which increases resolution. I'm shocked you can make it 6 or higher, since I fail to see how there is room.



The only issue now is figuring out how to increase the size of the portraits. The increased space means 96 pixels is no longer wide enough. Unfortunately when selecting a portrait you're forced to choose a 96x96 square, and I can't imagine how I'm going to get around that.

Though, adding a fifth party member might be a cheap last minute solution. At least this way all there won't be spaces between the portraits.

EDIT: or maybe, 96x96 might still be fine so long as all characters are facing right.
See where the HP/MP are, right now they are out of the way of the portrait, so that's one advantage of 96.
This might look bad if characters face left since their left shoulder would be cut off. By facing right their right shoulder is cut off, on our left, which makes sense because the cutoff is aligned with that character's HP and MP gauges.

EDIT: I'm browsing all the yanfly scripts to make sure there's nothing else I missed. Just so I don't forget, here are ones I might use:

https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/cast-animations/ Maybe in a future game. Also, you technically don't need a script to do this but it's probably better to use the script.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/death-common-event/ In a future game maybe.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/lunatic-parameters/lpp-empower/ - The lower your HP the stronger your attacks.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/lunatic-states/ - This might help me make a "super mode" for one of the characters.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/victory-aftermath/ For a future game, maybe. The script only benefits games with exp otherwise you don't really need it.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/gameplay-scripts/follow-up-skills/ This would be great for elemental bullets. (WW1 themed game)
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/gameplay-scripts/passive-states/ Might be good if I wanted to make the pig auto-battle like I originally planned. (The only reason I wouldn't is because he has an MP gauge and making him constantly berserk would mean he never uses MP)
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/menu-scripts/ace-menu-engine/ My future games would need this as a way of disabling all menu items.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/command-equip/ I should totally use this, even if simply as a statement on the genre. Because frankly, all games should let you change equipment mid battle. There's bound to be plenty of ways I can make my game take advantage of it, such as throwing weapons/equips on the player that are better against bosses but not so good against normal enemies, and vice versa. Also elemental systems. Also just having a wide variety of weapons with various effects.

https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/enemy-death-transform/ I needed this for a boss that I had decided to cut from the game. But this might still be nifty to have "damaging modeling" on certain bosses such as tanks.
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/field-scripts/button-common-events/ For shooting a gun outside of battle?
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/field-scripts/event-chase-player/ I don't need this but it might be worth checking out, seeing as I use visible enemies.

2017 update: The following scripts I ended up using!
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/state-animations/
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/gameplay-scripts/weapon-attack-replace/
https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/field-scripts/event-window/

Tried to use but failed or decided not to:

https://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/instant-cast/ This script causes a glitch that makes the battle window temporarily disappear, possibly because my skills trigger text during battle. The text isn't that important to have, but then again neither is this script and after thinking it over I'd actually rather have the text.

Prob won't use: (Probably!)

If the black smoke has a scrolling effect (which I'm assuming it does) then it probably looks a lot better in motion than in that screenshot.

For my mage, I tried to think of a unique effect for each element so that his spells are unique. Example:

Fire - burn status
Ice - freeze status
Lightning - splash damage / chip damage to other enemies
Poison - poison obviously

The problem of course is that I see no way to do splash damage in RPG Maker.
I found this script which seems really cool:
http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/9092-spash-damaging-skills/
But as far as I can tell it does the same amount of damage to all enemies, which defeats the point imo since RPG maker already lets you create spells that target all enemies. I want to make my Lightning spell to target a single enemy, but it would also damage nearby enemies.

I originally intended on a similar effect with grenades as well. (choose which enemy to throw the grenade at)
