Need a coder.

Sorry, I've been ditched by three people over the course of half a year. :( I really needed help with three things:

Fixing Battle Engine Melody's (RPGmaker VX) GUI
Fixing my custom menu system
This "mini-game" battle

All of the graphics are custom, so I guess I really wanted to not use the default look in Battle Engine Melody.

The menu system is mostly done ... but it is kind of broken, like the options don't align correctly, and there needs to be a class equipping system in it. :-S

I think the most involved are these "Conflict" mini-games, which sort of simulate old school battles where armies lined up. http://i.imgur.com/mI1hr.png There's a primitive explanation of it here. It's not been updated.

Basically you can place your party members and 15 generic characters in five rows of four. There is pre-battle fighting where each one has an action depending on your class. For example, a musketeer can fire in front of them, a "general class" has a "falconet" command that blasts the front row or second row of the enemy. The hit points used is the normal hit points. After the pre-battle fighting, you engage in a regular JRPG battle BASED ON who is in the front row. This is mimicking old school battles where people lined up in rows and fought each other. In the JRPG battle, there will be a clock that times "five turns" and the battle is interrupted and pre-battle fighting occurs once again. If anyone dies in the pre-battle, the person behind them moves up, if anyone dies in the normal battle, same situation. Victory outcomes are always "defeat all units" or "survive X pre-battle rounds."
