is there any scripts for battle narration similar to earthbound for RMXP, i have found this forum but the link seems to no longer work ( Battle Narration ) and I can not find other scripts
The site in question was in an old host service that was shut down long ago, and unfortunately can’t find traces of it either. So far seems that it would be either asking people if someone has it on their drive for some reason.
Second option is finding another one, but I can’t seem to find one either. Funny enough found another thread directing to that same thread you posted… 
Third option is making one, but I think this takes more than 5 minutes.

Here is an unstable version of a script I made in 2020, feel free to modify it.
It’s a battle log, but I’d recommend waiting a bit longer, as I’m currently working on a script pack that recreates most of the EarthBound systems.
I’m repurposing some scripts that Cap’n Coco Charm released on Starmen.net ages ago. Anyway, I could look into developing a more complete version, but for now, I’ll send you this one, you’re free to modify it.

I still have an old *EarthBound* “Cap’n Coco Charm Starter Kit” project; it’s quite incomplete, but it’s the closest thing to *EarthBound* in RPG Maker XP. I can send the project over, since I’m probably the only one who still has it.

Yeah that would be great! also I will ceck out that script you sent earlier!
I tried out the script and it works really good! its a little confusing to try and customize it but other than that its amazing!

Well, if I were you, I’d wait until my EarthBound system for RMXP is finished. I’m working on it right now, I recommend checking out the video I made about it, It’s still in the early stages, but I’m working on it daily so I can release it later this year.
