I NO LONGER SUPPORT THESE SCRIPTS. I'm making a new version. If you want the scripts to get fixed.. ask someone else. Sorry guys.

.:Instructions and FAQ:.
Content Hidden
Q:I can not open the demo! A: Download winrar. Google it.
Q:What scripts do I need? A: You'll need the SDK 2.0 or higher if you don't have it. You'll need the main ABS script and you'll need the Input script. If you want to use the HUD or the Enemy HP Bars you'll need the Gradient bars by Trickster.
Q:My game crashes and all I did was add the script to my game! A: You need to add them in the same order they came in the demo.
Q:How can I display the mini-map? A: I believe I set the mini-map switch to Switch 3. Look in the Mini-Map script, it should show where the switch ID is and can be edited. To display the mini-map just turn the switch on.
Q:How can I turn off the HUD with using script call? A: Call this: $scene.hud_hide to hide and $scene.hud_show to show.
Q:How can I hide and show the allies? A: Use in a script call $ABS.hide_allies to hide and $ABS.show_allies to show.
Q:How can I edit the animations divided so that the SCREEN animations don't get smaller? A: Find:[/list][/list][/list][/list]
Q:What are all the [B]default controls for the ABS and the HUD and the squad?[/B] A:
ABS and Hud
ABS
Attack - S
Defend - D
Run - A
Sneak - Z
Skill - Hotkeys(look in the script)
HUD
Toggle On/OFF - E
Squad
Follow Key - J
Search and Destroy - K
Stay and Secure - L
Heal All Key - B
Change Leader - N(forward) or M(backward)
Q:How can I setup an enemy? A: First go to the enemies database and look at the monsters you will use. Set the stats, items, gold and attacks there. Now go to the event that will be the monster and:
# Since some skills won't be listed(i.e non-ranged) I made this for customazation of melee weapons.
SKILL_CUSTOM = {}
# if left blank the default mash time will be MASH_TIME(below)
# No need to use the animation suffix if you don't plan to animate the player's character set.
# SKILL_CUSTOM[Skill_ID] = [Mash Time(in seconds), Kick Back(in tiles), animation suffix, number of animation of the suffix]
SKILL_CUSTOM[1] = [3, 0]
SKILL_CUSTOM[7] = [3, 0]
SKILL_CUSTOM[8] = [3, 0, "_cast",2]
Expand to see the code.
Q:How can I edit the HUD? A: There is a HUD tutorial in the tutorials section. You can also request for one in the Script Requests section.
Q:Can you add [feature description] to the ABS? A: Probably not because there are already so many features but go ahead and ask and try your luck. [/spoiler]

Make sure to have taken all the graphics you need from the Graphics folder.
Error Reporting
Name the script you got the error in. There is 2 different ABSs so make sure to name which one you are using.
Sweet! Love it, I found some weird stuff (might just be me).
I cant switch hotkeys, if i use A (yea a works as a hit key) i cant change it to 1. Also when i press d it crashes. Overall i love it, keep up the great work!
The hotkey is suppose to be like that so that you don't have the same skill for 2 keys. I'll improve it next version, I don't feel like editing all my ABS(3 of them!) yet, this took alot of time.
I was waiting for these a very long time! (now i can release my second video with this on it) A question though, is it the same as your ABS (lag-wise) or the same as ABS-Lite? (or your planning to make a SBABS-Lite?)
I was happy to work with MrMo in testing the SBABS, Maybe eventually if i get around to it, I will continue on the mini-game that was to show everything the SBABS could do, from using mages, clerics, fighters, archers, and many other kinds of tactics. Find ways to have battles take place, show how the pathfinding, stay, follow, attack, switch player FW/BW commands work in a correct manor... so say we need to hit a switch across a pit? no problem, switch to your archer, knock it out and go back to the player you prefer, if a n enemy takes me damage from certain spells, hop onto the mage and fire away with the right spell. The possibilities are endless.
I'm happy to see he worked on it once more and that it works just as good if not better than when I tested it last. I'm not sure if I will make a HUD for the SBABS, it is very time consuming, but we'll see. ~Axerax~
Just finished testing it. It works like a charm, and I didn't notice any lag. I loved the ally interaction idea, but I think a better way is the use of common events that will allow more advanced interaction.
Good work Mr. Mo....

[QUOTE=cheatking;198311]If a squad member is in a corner and you move to him yoe end up on top of him.
My game was realy laggy[/QUOTE]
That is not an error, it is a safety so you don't get stuck.
As far as lag goes, its due to low ram. How much RAM do you have? Its not TOO laggy for me and I have 384MB Ram. I think 516 MB is the right amount these days.
@Neonyo
$ABS.active = false
@tibuda
Heh, I forgot all about that :p. I need to add it to my first post tomorrow.
Heh, I have 1 gig of ram and I still get lag down to 5FPS when it comes to certain parts of my game, its just RMXP and how much ram is being occupied at a time.
but..( excuse me for bothering ':| )
seems like items aren't yet assignable
also, I have a little request that shouldn't be too difficult...
In the hud, still about the hotkeys, i'd like to do
so that when i assign 5, the icon is shown in the 5th place..
(I don't script at all.. but I think the use of "count" should be modified)
i'm asking this since my interface needs it :p
better seeing it than reading thousand words, here it is..
AH.... i have the WinRAR! now i understand.....
Whatever
Anyone have the non lite demo?
Because the link of the Mr.Mo's Squad Based ABS (SBABS) normal[not lite!]
is broken
so anyone have this demo to pass to me?
