you're gonna need a program called NSAOUT. after you download it, put the exe file into the game directory(the one with the arc~arc4.nsa files). After the program is finished, there should be a file called "arc" that contains three folders containing the game's backgrounds, sprites, and voice files.

unfortunately, battles are quite a hassle to code in side stories, and I personally haven't tried to make one. however,  you should already have a couple battle sample side stories in your mod folder whose text files you can open and see how specific commands affect battles.
