I've looked through the documentation and the default SceneBattle.yml, and can't seem to find an option to enable the use of sideview battlers. Is there something obvious I missed, or has this not been added yet?
Edit: Okay, nevermind, I got it. If anyone has the same issue as me:
1. Delete "showAnimationOn: ActorFace" from SceneBattle.yml
2. Set "ShowAnimationOnHud" to false in general.yml
The YML from one of the examples was in the 00_Base_Demo/luna folder. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a thing, or if it's a thing for anyone else, but if it is, this helps.
