Bobstah's Battle Commands Customization v2.2.1 - Updated 05/17/2017

Bobstah · 2015-10-24T04:02:16+0900

Introduction This plugin allows you to add skills, items, and a combined skill menu option to an Actor's and Class' battle commands, as well as reordering existing commands to meet your liking. You can also have Weapons, Armor, and States apply new commands! Instead of specifying a static ID, icon, or name, you can run a Javascript code snippet! Surround your code with $(). Features - Combine multiple skill types into a single Skill menu (I.E. Black Magic and White Magic into a single menu called Magic) - Show only the first occurring or last occurring skill in a set of skill IDs! (Why show Steal when you have Mug?) - Show only the first occurring or last occurring item in a set of item IDs! (Why show potions when you can show HiPotions?) - Shows the appropriate icons for attack, guard, specific skills, and specific items. - Add a custom icon to Skill Types and the Items menu! - Overwrite the default icon with anything of your choosing! - Overwrite the command name of any skill or item to your choosing! - If a command is sealed or unusable, hide it instead of graying it out! - Class-based battle command customization. - Actor-based battle command customization that integrates with the class-based customization options above. - Weapon, Armor, and State battle commands that can be used with an Actor or Class! - Use Eval to customize each battle command even further! How to Use Add the plugin in your game and view the help information. It describes the notetags and provides the recommended usage, which I've pasted below. Also be sure to review the parameters as of version 1.3. Set only actor-specific commands (maybe a skill, skilltype, stypes, etc) on each actor. Set the general attack, skill, item, etc commands on each class, then insert ActorCmd where you want the actor's commands to show up. Please read the recently-overhauled Plugin Help inside of RPGMV for information on notetags! Plugin Get it here - File name is CASE SENSITIVE: BOB_BattleCommandList.js Dependencies None FAQ Spoiler 1. The help window parameters don't seem to do anything and the help window sticks after combat. Help! Make sure the plugin Javascript file is named BOB_BattleCommandList.js - CASE SENSITIVE! 2. It's not working after I set on an actor's note field. I didn't use any class . This was a bug that was corrected by the most recent release. Please grab the updated script from the link above. 3. Skills aren't showing up in the battle commands menu after adding it to the actor or class! Make sure the actor knows the skill, and that you have downloaded the most recent version of the plugin. 4. How do I use the stypes notetag? If you wanted to combine skill types 1 and 2 into a single menu named Powers, it would look like this: stypes(Powers):1,2 5. What are the FirstSkill, LastSkill, FirstItem, and LastItem notetags? The FirstSkill and Firstitem notetags will only display the first skill the actor has learned out of the skill IDs you provide or the first item the party owns out of the item IDs you provide. The LastSkill and LastItem will only display the last skill the actor has learned out of the skill IDs you provide or the last item the party owns out of the item IDs you provide. Changelog Spoiler 2.2 (05/15/2017) - Added Eval support to icons and command names. Added new icon support for currently equipped weapon. Merged contribution from waynee95 to support Yanfly Battle Equip command. Added BASIC skill cost support for MP and TP. 2.1 (10/26/2016) - Added VE Mix command support. Made STypes(CommandName) apply to the skills menu as well! (i.e. STypes(Magic):1,2 will show up as Magic under skills.) 2.0 (11/09/2015) - Added WeaponCmd, ArmorCmd, and StateCmd! Fixed a bug with the optional (CommandName) feature not working if a number was used. Fixed a bug where Attack, Guard, and Items would not have their names overwritten. 1.9.4 (11/05/2015) - Added a parameter to space Icons out from command text. See the Icon Padding parameter for more information. 1.9.3 (11/05/2015) - Fixed a bug with notetag parsing failing due to spacing and another bug causing skill types to always show disabled. 1.9.2 (11/04/2015) - Fixed a bug that would cause the game to crash if you were using any default commands (attack, skills, items, guard) without specifying options. 1.9.1 (11/04/2015) - Added a parameter to enable/disable drawing icons. 1.9 (11/04/2015) - Added support for drawing icons, icon overrides, and command renaming. 1.8 (11/02/2015 - Added the SType(CommandName):ID notetag. Read the help for more information. 1.7.1 (10/30/2015) - Fixed a few bugs relating to excess spacing and using long-form numbers (0003 instead of 3, etc) 1.7 (10/29/2015) - Added position parameters for the help window. This fixes compatibility issues with some battle plugins. 1.6.2 (10/29/2015) - Fixed a bug that caused skills to sometimes not display when using the FirstSkill and LastSkill notetag. 1.6.1 (10/28/2015) - Fixed a bug tha…

I got it solved Bobstah.

I believe there was a problem with the file upon download as it ended in ".js.js".

So I just copy/pasted the raw into notepad, and then saved it as a ".js" and plugged it in. It's working perfectly!!

Believe it or not, the only reason why I wanted this plugin was to eliminate "Items" from all actors (Except my Tech/Chemist Actors), but now I think I'm gonna use it a little more than intended.

Great work!! And I think it's easier to use than even Yanfly's VXAce Battle Commands Script (No Offense Yanfly, I still ADORE your work!!)

Yup, that was the problem. Bob has also already fixed that issue a couple of hours ago =)

I wasn't going to make a post, but this is severely helpful! Thanks so much.

(Would it be too difficult to add the dates/times you updated the plugin for future instances. Had it not have been for me having issues, I probably wouldn't have read through the forum and realized you updated the plugin more than once.)

I'm glad the plugin is useful to you! :) I'm working on a huge one now that is already over 700 lines! It's consuming all my free time! :(

I added the date and time the current version was released at the top of the first post, and added dates for prior versions. Thank you for the suggestion!

Bobstah, is there any chance you could enable tooltips or descriptions for the commands that are used in this way?

For example, when you hover over the 'Spark' command, to display the description that would normally be provided within the 'Magic' submenu.

Is it possible to add a menu that contains multiple skill types, not just separating the skills by skill type?

Ex: I have Physical, Magical, and Immortal skill types. I want a menu called Skills that contains all Physical and Magical skills, but Immortal skills are not included.

I'm not getting any tooltips when I run a game with no plugins, or when I disable my Battle Commands script and run one with a good bit of plugins from the preorder. Do you know what plugin is providing this functionality so that I can take a look?

I'll see if I can whip something up for this. Would stypes:id,id,id work as a notetag?

Sorry, tooltips might have been the wrong word. What I meant was just this:

It would be amazing if there was still a space for skill descriptions when using this plugin, without needing to go into any submenus to see it. My command menu is going to be something like 'Attack, Fire, Potion', so players will probably be a bit clueless as to what their skills do without it.

I haven't really looked in-depth at this, but I will give it a go once I finish the multi-skill command mentioned above.

I think stypes:id,id,id would work just fine!

Version 1.4 available from the original post (10/28/2015)!

I've updated the plugin with this function, but I went a little further. Now, you would use:

STypes(CommandName):1,2

Let's say that skill type 1 is Black Magic, and skill type 2 is White Magic. To combine them into a single battle command named Magic, you would use:

STypes(Magic):1,2

Does this make sense?

Also, on to the tooltip/help window request from Sera. :)

Yes yes yes!! Thanks so much! This really clears the clutter and confusion of having skills in different menus!

You've just done what I've hoped to be able to do for a while now. Man, you are great at this... Even letting us name the category... Props to you.

Heads up, there is a game-breaking bug in version 1.4. I've got a fix coming, hang tight.

(Edit: Bug fixed in version 1.5)

(Activating Skills from the main menu will cause the game to crash due the way I am intercepting Window_SkillList's functions)

I fixed the bug and added four new features!

FirstSkill:ID,ID,etc - Show the first skill that the actor has learned from the provided list.

LastSkill:ID,ID,etc - Show the last skill that the actor has learned from the provided list.

FirstItem:ID,ID,etc - Show the first item that the party owns from the provided list.

LastItem:ID,ID,etc - Show the last item that the party owns from the provided list.

Version 1.6 is now available!

Sera said:

Done! Download version 1.6 and make sure the new Parameter, Show Help Window, is set to 1. It will display the skill or item's default description.

There isn't a good way to show MP and TP costs this way, as it would involve me combining description and costs together, which might get messy. I may look at doing something about this, but it would be hard to factor in all of the custom cost plugins out there and making them display properly in the help window.

Mods: Sorry for the triple post! I thought adding the help window would take a lot longer, so I made a stop-gap version until I had it figured out.

Version 1.6.1 is available, fixing a bug with the new help window!

I'd like to hold off on any new features day or two and just focus on fixing bugs. Adding this many features over such a short time is causing more and more bugs to crop up. If anyone finds a bug, please reply here and I'll take care of it.

Feel free to continue requesting features as well, I'll get to them in a few days. :)
