Re: battle system ?

Yes you can, but how you do it, that's up to you.

Too many ways to go into this answer, so I'll use the simplest way. You can modify the default battle system by editing stuff in the battle scripts (or making your own and replacing the old ones), or you can create one from scratch completely separate from the DBS.

Creating a new one is the easiest option, but then you become more limited on the enemies you can have since the DBS monsters can't be used outside the DBS.

dbs?

oh, and can u make a real-time battle system?

Re: battle system ?

dbs= Default Battle system

But if you want to make your own, you have plenty of options and I always make my own.

ACBS= Active Custom Battle System, this is the one I always make think of Zelda. Your always in the battle system and can attack from wherever you are.

TBS= Tactical Battle System, Think Final Fantasy Tactics. You can have your own grid system and moving system.

MDBS= Modified Default Battle System, Change the system that's premade to your liking.

ChargeGauge Battle System= Think final fantasy, where gauges charge and you get that characters turn an stuff.

And basically any other style of battle you could dream up you could make.

Re: battle system ?

RPG Maker 2 is a very powerful and complex program. You can't just change a few things and make a battle system. You need to understand simple computer programing using the script commands and math. Understanding Visual Effects (VFX) is also useful for making your battle system more interesting.

I just spend 2 years (off and on) modifing the DBS to create a totally new system. Nash spent months working on his ACBS and is still finding new ways to improve on it.

If you really want to make your own battle system, study all the script commands, variables, and flags until you understand what they do. Press Start to get help messages on everything in the game. You can read my FAQ (see RPG Maker 2 Tutorial section) for more detailed notes on what the Variables and Flags do. Once you understand everything, start messing around and see what you can come up with. Then you can come back here and ask questions about how to get your battle system to work.

I suggest you spend some time messing around making a simple game using the default system. Once you understand the basics you can start working on the complex stuff like a battle system. Good luck.
