Want some more battle sprites for your game? Using a front view battle system? Or a side view system? Here are two links I recently came across which contain awesome battle sprites. They are brilliant for both RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX. You may find the material them useful no matter what game engine you are using. I’ll post a few picture and then the links for you.
First, for the front view battle system
It's a monsterrrr
^ Wow. It’s amazing how weird this thing is and yet it still looks so scary. Perfect for a front view battle system. I really like the mask.
One of the most popular and most wanted scripts for RPG Maker VX is the side view battle system. What this script does is put the character and enemy sprites on map allowing the player to visualise the battler more.
Please be aware that the battle system can be hard to modify if you have never used an addon script for RPG Maker VX. You may need to spend a little bit of time reading the guides posted in the video below and searching around the links provided below.
The side view battle system is not superior to any of the other battle system with RPG Maker VX either. There are many pros and cons to it. While visually it looks better, you may find it incompatible with certain script. Though the side view battle system can make some awesome gameplay if you use it well.
Watch the video below to find out how you can get the side view battle system. Double click the video to be taken to the video page. Links from the video will also be posted below on here.
A question came up from eXisentZ at the youtube RPG Maker community which were along the lines “But how do I actually install this script into my project?”. The anwser is simple.
Simple copy and paste the scripts one by one below the “Materials” section and before the “Main Process” section. You may need to right click and insert new rows to enter the scripts in. Afterwards you can do ctrl+c and ctrl+p to copy and paste each script after highlighting the rows.
If you need a video on this please watch the one below. You can double click the video to leave a comment for further support. Though, do make sure to read other comments as well in case the question already has already been asked and given an answer! It just saves a lot of time for you and the people supporting too. ^^;
Finally, if you are using this script remember people have worked hard to produce this script for you! Make sure to credit Enu, Kylock, Mr Bubble, Shu and Moonlight all of which have made this script possible for you to use. If you do not credit them it is like you are then stealingthe script, so you must give credit. But that should not be a problem for anyone.
Why should I use this script?
A good question. Many people prefer the side view battle system over the default front view as most players find it more fun to be able to see the characters run up to an enemy and attack it rather then only seeing the animation without the character. (So basically, they prefer it because of the visual look.)
There are also some people who think the other battle systems has problems, since it seems boring to them, and they think this will make their game better, I’m afraid that is not true though. The problem would relate to skillsets, actors, classes, troops, enemies and events rather then the battle system if you or someone else is finding it boring. Since gameplay-wise both battle systems can be fun.
At the same time some RPG fans prefer the front view system as they feel it gives a more classic theme to RPG Maker VX. At the end of the day it goes down to personal choice. I would choose the battle system you prefer. There are a few other choices for battle systems on RPG Maker VX but we will cover those in a future blog post.
Hope that helps and good luck with your game. You may leave comments below this page if you found it useful or have any questions.
