Battle Graphics - Backdrops

Backdrops in battle mode are images at 320 x 240 pixels.

In the backdrops that came with RPG Maker, the horizon line tends to be about 3/4 of the way up the image or higher, while indoor areas put a back wall closer to 2/3 of the way up.  Here's an example.


The placement of the characters on the backdrop are aligned like this:


The opponent is on the left side, while the heroes are on the right side.  Everywhere the lines intersect is a location the characters can be placed.  However, you can go into the options and manually place the characters elsewhere if you want.

There are several backdrops that could likely be used in our game, (or tweaked a little to be used) so when we get to working out a certain location, we can look through them and see if there's anything useful.
