This is the core engine for Warrior Engine Ace, made for RPG Maker XP. This script provides various changes made to the main engine including bug fixes and GUI upgrades.

---

Bug Fix: Interpreter Fix

The script here fixes the multi-line issue with the call script command and improves the execution of the wait idea. For those who don’t know. If the call script evaluates to false then the event waits a frame before running the script call again. (Consider it like Repeat next frame)

If the script call was on multiple lines there was a single frame wait before it continued with the next event commands. This script fixes this issue so it wait whether single-line or multi-line.

Bug Fix: Encounter Fix

This script is more or less a fix to the default rmxp encounter rate. How many people have noticed that when they set the encounter step of the map to something like 30, they’ll encounter monsters after 4 or 5 steps or something bizarre like that? Well, this script fixes that. The default rmxp encounter rate makes it so that the encounter step that you put for the map will be the most amounts of steps it’ll take to encounter another monster. The default script gets a random number from 1 to the number you chose plus 1. This script gets a more reasonable number from the encounter step that you chose. So let say that you put in 30, you’ll probably get something around 25 – 35.

New Feature: Draw Actor Face

You can now add actors faces by adding them to the picture folder by there actor name. You can call the script into any window with this call:
draw_actor_face(actor, x, y [,size = 96])
Note: You can ommite whats in the bracket if you don’t want to change the size. Just make sure the brackets aren’t actually in the real code.

New Feature: Gradient Draw Text

== Example ==
If You want to see your text with gradient colors, use this code:

class Window_Base
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Draw Name
# actor : actor
# x : draw spot x-coordinate
# y : draw spot y-coordinate
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def draw_actor_name(actor, x, y)
gradient_text(x, y, 64, 32, actor.name, Color.new(255,0,0),Color.new(0,255,0), 0, false)
end
end

---

New Feature: Numeric Digit Grouping

This will change various scenes to display numbers in groups where they are separated by a comma every three digits. Thus, a number like 1234567 will show up as 1,234,567. This allows for players to read numbers quicker.

---

New Feature: GUI Modifications

There are quite a lot of different modifications you can do to the GUI. This includes adding bars to HP and SP, adding Shadow and Outline to Font, changing the colours of each individual font aspect, and more. Also, you can change the default font setting for your games here.

■ Compatibility

 This script is made strictly for RPG Maker XP. There would be no need to add this to RPG Maker VX/VX-ace as majority of the features already exist.  Look inside the script comment section at the ‘Script Conflicts and Compatibility’ for more information.

Due to the rewrite in most of these classes, this Engine should be above all other custom scripts and below Scene_Debug.

▼ Instructions

To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script to an open slot below  Scene_Debug but above ▼ Main. Remember to save.
