what a cute little name...totally using this
very clean and user friendly to configure

Perfect script & A very well done job
this is just an idea, theres one more feature in the future that you can put there, its stamina bar

^@supercow ~ (stamina) you mean the CT meter?
so make this exclusive to XAS!?
ok brilliant!

whoa whoa this is just an idea
dont force yourself to exhaustion now , you already made so many cool script , bask in its glory for now (did i say it right? bask? it mean shower in it right? still need to refine my english)

^,^
\_/

it's a great idea how could I resist,
hey your English is better than my Indonesian

^ update!
added yellow stamina bar and purple charge bar ! ^,^

i run out of words to say ,its pure AWESOME !!!!!

experimenting with the viewports under the Sprite class instead of the traditional window class for this mini HUD. this way there's no overflow (lag) when other scripts that use Window_Base are running.

here's what I have so far... the script doesn't update/refresh as I'm working on a conditional update method so I can keep the game running above 35fps.

any skilled in script are most welcome to lend a hand or share some pointers,
it appears the more RGSS you learn the more RGSS there is to learn.

edit: got a few pointers from wiggles about bitmap rects and
some good advice on refresh, update methods from Hackel.

got a new structure for how this script is called, now to get a baby smooth refresh, update method before I re-add the remaining features to this version.

I'm trying to edit it, but I guess it's still lagg
I wonder why

-----removed-----

Drago! it runs perfectly now on a new XAS3.9.1 project WITH the Emini HUD.

like a priest, you blessed these scripts and performed an exorcism on the lag demon LOL!

Maybe your project has a conflicting script?

no lagg at all this is awesome
i even put >30 enemy in one map and only lag a tiny bit awesome

@supercow - I'm just as as you are

@Hackel, mr_wiggles, LiTTleDRAgo - thanks guys couldn't have done this with out you.

Original post updated with latest version!!!

If you're not noticing it when attacking / attacked the enemy the FPS dropped by almost half in my project

there may be a script in your project or event causing this...?

supercow tested it too and works fine for him.

here's a screenshot with my project on a simple map,lots going on still at 38FPS.


I'm sure it's not your PC

edit: need to make that enemy Hud behind/blow the hero

This looks so clean and cool on any project! As always you did an amazing job gf, good to see that everytime you release something your skill level seems to get better and better, hope to see more from you!

I guess I should add fade function on your enemy hud
you didn't mind do you?

Man you have freereign with all of them
your code skill is powerful.

this script had
HMINI_DISABLE
but i dont see it anywhere in the script and cant seem to use it hope i can get some help

here you go

------removed------

Cross Engined !!

cross engined!? way too cool LiTTleDRAgo, thanks for throwing the disable switch back in ^,^
