[Mr. Bubble]

ziifee's Wait Gauge Battle
Scripts by ziifee
Translation Team: Mr. Bubble and TakamiDaisuke

Original script website: ( http://neomemo.web.fc2.com/ )
Permission to translate this script into English was granted by ziifee.

Summary
Compared to another particular battle system, ziifee's Wait Gauge Battle is much simpler. It adds an active time battle system similar to Final Fantasy, but keeps the simple front-view aesthetic of the default battle system. Animations and damage pop-ups appear on actors' face graphics similar to RMXP's battlers.

I should also note that this battle system uses Spin Command, another script made by ziifee.

Demo
( http://www.mediafire.com/?0f3kbjqzxiq )

See this post for information regarding changes from the last demo release.

Installation
Scripts are in the Script Editor of the demo. All image files in the Graphics/System folder of the demo are required.

How to Use
Please read the customization module comments in the scripts. All pertinent customization information is translated and documented. It should be fairly straight forward for normal RPG Maker users. The demo also provides explanations for some aspects of the battle system.

I apologize that a lot of those notes may not make that much sense. If you want the original Japanese text for these notes, please feel free to ask.

Notes beyond user customization modules have not been translated, but have been kept in.

Nice work Bubble (and ziifee and Takami Daisuke of course). This is a very refreshing way to make the DBS and makes me more apt to want to use it. I'll probably use this for my Dragon Quest side project. Thanks.

[Tevak]

Nice script. is it possible to remove the spin command?

[Mr. Bubble]

Nice script. is it possible to remove the spin command?

Probably with some scripting knowledge. I believe it's required by default, though.

... That is a MASSIVE translation... bigger than the normal ones, nice job!

[Blaziruku]

This is great! It looks very cool. ^^.


EDIT: How come when I use it, (I set my own icons) the escape is gone?

EDIT 2: I made a mistake with the attack instead of guard. So I'll update this after (Still no escape option?)

Is there any way to change the mode to a "wait" type instead of "auto" like it is now? I looked around in the scripts but I didn't see anything like that. Did I miss it? Or is there just no way currently?

Can this be edited to work with a Kaduki SBS?

There isn't any point the newer versions of SBS have it built in

Dear there,

There was no user customization module included that could change the wait type of battle. I think it can be changed within the script though.

As Kyler said, there's no point to.

It means that you have another script which alters/uses the [S1,S2,S3,S4] S1 = Attack, S2 = Skills, S3 = Defend etc etc.

what other scripts are you using?

I've only used all the scripts in the demo required for this wait gauge battle.


ziifee | WGB Layout
ziifee | WGB System
ziifee | Damage/State Pops

ziifee | Spin Wait Gauge
ziifee | Actor Command Name
ziifee | HP/MP Bar Rearrange
ziifee | State Icon Animation
ziifee | Help Window Color

Are you processing that battle from an event? Make sure you have "Can Escape" checkmarked.

Are you sure this can work with that SBS? I prefer the looks of this one.

Oh yeah... I forgot. Sorry. Thanks!

I've plugged in all the scripts under materials, but every time I battletest on my own porject, the battle style is the same. Any1 no y that is?
Please help! The regular battles! They're so dull!

Save your game before using Battle Test. Any changes to the Script Editor that you make will not take effect in Battle Test until you do save.

Thanks. I really needed that!

HOORAY!!

Thanks a lot, but all of my enemies deal like, no damage because as soon as you start your attacks/skills etc. his gauge stops working. Is there any way to make the battles 'active mode' like in FF4??

What an amazing script (Everything seems so streamlined)!

I have one question though. I'm using Syvkal's Cogwheel gauges, but I was wondering if there was a way to use those instead of the default gauges in battle?

EDIT: I have another question actually. Is there anyway to extend the help window during battle (Like when you use items/skills and the description pops up) beyond 1? I'm using KGC_Help Extension if it helps.
