Introduction
This script adapts front-view battle systems (like the default battle system, or the RTAB system), and turns it into a side-view battle system. Battlers can bob and weave while waiting to attack, charge forward to attack, and strike a victory pose when they win.

Pre-Rendered Configs
The demo and the scripts above show how to generate a system that uses multiple types of spritesheets and RTP battlers. Below are two configuration files you may wish to use in it's place. Minkoff Configuration ... the typical Minkoff system without any extra. Cybersam Configuration ... a configuration system for Cybersam's 7-pose system. Charset Configuration ... a configuration system to use Charactersets for battlers. Holder Configuration ... a 13-pose system designed by Holder. RM2K3 Styled Configuration ... based on RPGMaker 2003's style, but after formed into a single 1-row sheet. RMMV Styled Configuration ... based on RPGMaker MV's style, but after formed into a single 1-row sheet.
The Formation System
Removed from Animated Battlers is the formation system. A new one (roughly similar in nature to Claihm's system) is available below if you want to make custom battle formations.
Spoiler: Formation System
Code:
#==============================================================================# ** AnimBat Add-On:# Animated Battler Formations#------------------------------------------------------------------------------# by DerVVulfman# version 1.0# 11-22-2018 (MM-DD-YYYY)# RGSS / RPGMaker XP#==============================================================================## INTRODUCTION:## It has been a long time coming in that I wanted to replace the built-in# formation system I hardwired into "Minkoff's Animated Battlers - Enhanced",# and finally that time has arrived. While the base system now has the origi-# ginal single formation, it is by this system the end user can design the# battle formations for the actor battlers. They will start out and remain# lined up in the order the end user sets up.## The system recognizes the 'Mirror Effect' system in Animated Battlers XP,# and will adjust and reverse the battler positions accordingly. You need not# worry about creating duplicate formation entries for both left and right# sided formations.##------------------------------------------------------------------------------## CREATING THE FORMATIONS:## This system allows you to create multiple formations. This is accomplished# by the way you use the 'ABATXP_FORMATION' array. The syntax is as follows:## ABATXP_FORMATION = { id => [ formation set ], id => [formation set],... }## So... with that, you can make multiple sets of formations which you can# switch to while the game is running..## Now... each formation set holds the x and y position for each actor battler# in combat. Not by their 'Actor ID' mind you, merely by party member order.# So the first member in your party,regardless of their position in your actor# database, will be first battler position defined in the formation set. The# layout for each formation set is as follows:## [ [Battler 1's X & Y], [Battler 2's X & Y],... ]## Most people would set a formation set with allowances for 4 battlers. But if# you wanted to use a large party script to increase the number of members in# your battle party, you can add more than 4 battler arrays like so:## ...ON = { 0 => [ [350,200], [395,235], [440,270], [485,305], [530,340] ],# 1 => [ [530,200], [485,235], [440,275], [395,305], [350,340] ] }##------------------------------------------------------------------------------## SCRIPT CALL:## There's only one script call you should be familiar with right now, and that# is the script call that changes the formation you want to use in battle. By# default, the system uses the formation set by ID #0. But you can change the# formation being used with the following call:### The call is simple: $game_system.abatxp_form_id = number## Where the number is the ID number of your formation. That's it.###------------------------------------------------------------------------------## NOTE:## While designed and intended for use with Animated Battlers VX, it can be# used with only the Actor Battler Graphics script to change the basic for-# mation of the heroes. With this, you can make a very simple sideview# system... just not animated.##------------------------------------------------------------------------------## TERMS AND CONDITIONS:## Free to use, even in commercial projects. Just note that I need some form# of due credit... even a mere mention in some end titles.##==============================================================================module Formation # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- POSITION = {} # Do Not Touch # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ID Battler 1 Battler 2 Battler 3 Battler 4 # =========== ============ ============ ============ ============ POSITION[0] = [ [450, 200, 0], [495, 235, 0], [540, 270, 0], [585, 305, 0] ] POSITION[1] = [ [485, 200, 0], [440, 235, 0], [395, 270, 0], [350, 305, 0] ] POSITION[2] = [ [350, 200, 0], [350, 275, 0], [495, 200, 2], [495, 275 ,2] ] end#==============================================================================# ** Game_System#------------------------------------------------------------------------------# This class handles system-related data.

The Window Depth Adjuster
The battlers in this system tend to draw themselves over the battlesystem's command windows. This patch can fix this for you.

Compatibility
This side-view battler script was designed to work with both, the default battle system AND the RTAB system. It was also instrumental in making Charlie Fleed's CTB. And it apparently works with a whole host of others ranging from ParaDog's and the XRXS systems and those by Trickster. But I cannot account for it working with any other systems.
