2. Implicit Reverse ATB Feature(Approximate)

Spoilerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w6lG5xfebE&index=26&list=PLp-0SJbFnYdw-laxpgITmo88EvluvBg2x

The following are needed:

1. Set DEFAULT_FILL_TIME as an extremely small value. In my case, it's 6.

2. Set the charge rate of every skill as an extremely small value. In my case, the charge rate of Attack is 1%.

3. To stop displaying the atb bar(but not charge nor cooldown bar), DoubleX RMVXA Color Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB is needed. Set ATB_RGBA as true and both ATB_COLOR1 and ATB_COLOR2 as Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0).



3. Some Possibly Uninformed Info

Spoiler1. The maximum atb value is 100000.0

2. $game_system.set_battle_system
system) can be used to change the battle system from catb to any of those supported by Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Battle Engine. The vice versa can also be done.

3. DoubleX RMVXA Percentage Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB may cause a significant average fps drop on less powerful machines. Mine is i7-3820 + 2 * 2GB DDr3 1333 and the average fps dropped from roughly 119 to roughly 110.




Level 2(Needing little scripting proficiency)

Spoiler1. Some Uninformed Script Calls

1. battler.catb_filled_rate

    Returns the battler's atb fill percent.

2. battler.catb_ct_filled_rate

    Returns the battler's skill/item charge percent.

If DoubleX RMVXA Bug Fix to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB is used:

1. battler.catb_action_times

    Returns the battler's number of action points.

If DoubleX RMVXA Cooldown Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB is used:

1. battler.catb_cd_filled_rate

    Returns the battler's cooldown percent.

If DoubleX RMVXA Escape Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB is used:

1. battler.ct_catb_value = val

    Sets the battler's skill/item charge percent as val / 100000.0

If DoubleX RMVXA Reset Addon to YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Reset is used:

1. battler.reset_value

    Returns the battler's atb reset value used when that battler's atb's reset

2. battler.reset_value = val

    Sets the battler's atb reset value used when that battler's atb's reset as val



2. Some Uninformed YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Rate Usages

Spoiler1. Its notetags can be used on actors' skills as well. If an actor's skill list has skills having the notetags, those notetags will be effective as well.

2. Severe average fps drop can take place if an actor's an extremely long skill list. This can be remedied by not letting those notetags to be applicable to skills:

  def lunatic_catb_rate_formula    formulas = []    formulas = self.actor.catb_rate + self.class.catb_rate if self.actor?    formulas = self.enemy.catb_rate if self.enemy?    value = real_gain_catb    value_percent = 100    if self.actor?      if self.equips        self.equips.each { |a| formulas += a.catb_rate if a }       end            # Delete this part      if self.skills        self.skills.each { |a| formulas += a.catb_rate if a }      end      #    end    states.each { |state| formulas += state.catb_rate }    # The rest of the codes



Similarly:

self.actor.catb_rate refers to the notetags in the Actor's notebox

self.class.catb_rate refers to the notetags in the Class's notebox

self.enemy.catb_rate refers to the notetags in the Enemy's notebox

if self.equips  self.equips.each { |a| formulas += a.catb_rate if a } endrefers to the notetags in the Weapon and Armor's notebox

states.each { |state| formulas += state.catb_rate } refers to the notetags in the State's notebox



Level 3(Needing some scripting proficiency)

Spoiler1. Some Extended YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Rate Usages

1. Adding new notetag string types(needing basic regular expression knowledge)

For example:

    for formula in formulas      case formula.upcase            # Add this to implement a new notetag string type      #----------------------------------------------------------------------      # Custom Notetag String      #----------------------------------------------------------------------      when CUSTOM_REGEX        does_custom_stuffs      #      #----------------------------------------------------------------------      # ATB Rate Formula No.1: BOOST PERCENT      # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -      # Boost ATB rate by x percents.      #      # Formula notetag:      #   <custom catb rate: boost percent x%>      #----------------------------------------------------------------------      when /BOOST PERCENT[ ](\d+)([%?])/i        value_percent *= 1 + $1.to_i / 100.0            # The rest of the codes



This can also be used on YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Reset and YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Start.

2. Variable atb gain value per frame

It can be done as the atb gain value per frame is always reevaluated per frame as long as the atb's refilling.

For example, to have a 10% variance from using the <custom catb rate: boost percent x%> notetags

Spoiler#----------------------------------------------------------------------      # ATB Rate Formula No.1: BOOST PERCENT      # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -      # Boost ATB rate by x percents.      #       # Formula notetag:      #   <custom catb rate: boost percent x%>      #----------------------------------------------------------------------      when /BOOST PERCENT[ ](\d+)([%?])/i        value_percent += ($1.to_i - 10 + (rand + rand) * 10) / 100.0



3. Doing completely unrelated stuffs

For example:

Spoilerdef lunatic_catb_rate_formula    # Add this    does_completely_unrelated_stuffs    #    formulas = []    # The rest of the codes



This can also be used on YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Reset and YSA Battle Add-on: Lunatic CATB Start.


2. Some Extended DoubleX RMVXA ATB Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB Usages

Spoiler1. Doing completely unrelated stuffs

3. Implicit Reverse ATB Feature(Real)

Spoilerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w6lG5xfebE&index=26&list=PLp-0SJbFnYdw-laxpgITmo88EvluvBg2x

The following are needed:

1. Set DEFAULT_FILL_TIME as 1.

2. Use DoubleX RMVXA ATB Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB. Set CATB_GAIN_MODIFIER as:

"charge = max_catb_value? && @ct_catb_value < MAX_CATB_VALUE; charge &&= current_action && current_action.item && (!actor? || current_action.confirm) && current_action.item.charge_on; charge ? charge_gain_modifier / original_default_fill_time : 1"



Where charge_gain_modifier is a desirable reverse atb gain rate modifier set by you and original_default_fill_time is a desirable default reverse atb gain rate modifier set by you.

3. To stop displaying the atb bar(but not charge nor cooldown bar), DoubleX RMVXA Color Addon to YSA Battle System: Classical ATB is needed. Set ATB_RGBA as true and both ATB_COLOR1 and ATB_COLOR2 as Color.new(0, 0, 0, 0).
