MZ - Battle HUD Customizer using WYSIWYG Editor (Lite)

Hi @Aerosys ! I hope your trip is going great! No rush at all, just wanted to let you know there's some weirdness on the Skill & Item list section of the Battle HUD UI plugin -- the text doesn't render properly to fit the columns / width selected.

------

EDIT: Nevermind. Resetting the game and booting back up after a width change will force a proper display! Sorry!

Yes, the thing is, my plugin asks the windows "would you kindly stretch/shrink?" without resetting the whole battle so it sometimes looks a bit odd. That's too deep in the core code; if I touch it I will likely break something.

No worries, once I figured it out, not a big deal to restart and test at all!

BTW -- for the Pro version, it *does* allow each actor to have an individual, customizable window, right? So I might be able to have one larger / more important actor, with a set of "sub" or lesser important actors with smaller windows?

No, that's not supported. What the pro version has is a custom parameter, eg another gauge as aggro-meter or shield points if you have such a system.

But you can dm me with some draft what you need and then I can make you a short plugin, usually that requires me just about 5 minutes.

Ahhh okay! I misunderstood -- there was a "Split Windows" option in the Party status section that I thought would allow for split windows. I'll shoot you a DM!

The split function really splits the windows - but they still share the same size.

I downloaded the new version of the plugin and the battle won't load. The game crashes. I press Alt+F4, F12, I try to close the game, but nothing happens. The only way I can close the game is via Task Manager. There's no plugin colliding.

Oh sounds like a needle in a haystack.

Can you please check, do the files index_battle.js and index_battle.html exist in your game directory/uicustom? Is there anything on your machine that could block programmatic file creation?

Yes, they do.

About the latter, no.

Sorry for the impatientness, but this is worrying me. I don't wanna do the battle hud I've done again.

Just in care, I'll attach the files.

PD: Since I can't attach the .HTML file, I'll do this way -

Sorry for letting you wait.

Can you upload your config.json and config_battle.json, too? You can also send them to me via direct message instead of sharing here.

@Samus1076
I found the issue! A fix will come soon, and in the meantime, you can simply fix it by

• open config_battle.json
• type a non-zero number for "skillItemListItemHeight" or remove this entry

Found another bug actually! Strangely, the Item/Spells/Skills catalog is doing this. Same as before - there's no plugin colliding it AND I didn't edit it via the WYSIWYG Editor.

Sorry for being impatient, but, did you find the issue?

I tried fixing it - and nothing happens.

I'm working on a major update right now that includes a handful of fixes I've received lately and also serves as preparation for the next menu customizer.

I hope I can release it this upcoming weekend!
