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…

For a single actor, or skip a turn for the entire party?

Couldn't you just make a skill for that, Fisher?

Also, why do I get the feeling we're making the exact same game...?

The scope of this plugin was meant to customize commands for every actor. Now, that being said:

You could! Make a skill that sets a "wait" state on the entire party that restricst all actions for one turn, then set the skill speed to max. Next, set that skill to be part of an actor's command list using skill:id. That actor will go first and order the party to wait.

I know it's a rough workaround, but I know most people get rid of the "Fight" and "Escape" menu. If there was a plugin that enabled a command to exit your turn entirely, it should be compatible with this one. If not, I will make it work. :)

Alright, l still need a plugin before l can see if this solution works or not.

Another suggestion: icons on commands

Bug found: if the help window for single skill is enabled, the help window will show up for the whole action.

You must be using an old version. I had the same issue before, but an update fixed it.

Version 1.7 released! Added help window positioning, see original post for details! Download

I might be able to do something with the command icons. Let me look into it.

That bug is from a previous version. Make sure you download the latest version from the original post, replace your existing .js file with the new one, then view the plugin parameters (mandatory, even if you don't change anything!) and save your project. That should fix the problem. :)

I'm still having problems with the help window sticking and blocking the battle log. I have the latest plugin version. I also tried turning all the other plugins OFF, but that did not solve the issue. I can't figure out what's the problem! :headshake:

Edit: Also, changing the parameter Show Help Window to 0, doesn't actually remove it!

Edit2: The actual problem seems to be, that the help window doesn't work correctly if I locate the skill directly to the same menu with attack, guard etc. When cast from the skills menu in battle, the help window seems to work fine.

Can you provide me with a screenshot of your js\plugins folder and a copy/paste of BOB_BattleCommandList.js via Pastebin (or similar site)?

This is exactly what I'm doing and it's working fine.

Thanks Bobstah for this plugin! Really nice!

However, I've got the exact same issue as Aatujoonatan. I'm replacing the Attack command by a skill and the help window stays stuck the whole round up there, hiding the log. I have the same version as him, similar plugins and the Show Help Window Option is set to zero...

Also, if I a could do a little suggestion: it'd be nice to be able to set a skill directly in the battle menu even if the character/class hasn't learned it. It would prevent to have the same skill copied over in the skill menu. (Right now, I have a mage with Fire Blast replacing the attack command, but he also has the same Fire Blast in the magic menu).

Try renaming bob_battlecommandlist.js to BOB_BattleCommandList.js (Case-sensitivity, maybe?), then viewing the parameters in the plugin manager, hitting ok, saving your project, and trying again.

If that doesn't work, please try moving the plugin to the top of the list. (Personally, mine is at the bottom below Yanfly's, but I have the plugin named BOB_BattleCommandList.js)

I renamed the plugin and everything works fine...

**Major facepalm that echoes through the world**

Yup, renaming did the trick :) Thank you!

I migrated my download links to my Dropbox, which should prevent this from happening in the future.

So, this may not be in the scope of the plugin, but I had another addition idea.

Would it be possible to "seal" certain commands, such as due to states?

I.E. The actor is affected by state "Guard Bind". It makes it so that actor cannot use Guard while affected.

I was thinking using <BlockCommand: ____> or something like that as the tag on a state, etc.

You can make the state seal the skill by default, which should hide it or disable it from the battle command menu. Did that not work?

Hm, I can't seem to actually get rid of the "Attack" command from my command lists. I'd like to remove it completely, not just seal it. Right now I'm using:

<Battle Commands>

STypes(Command):1

Items

Guard

</Battle Commands>

on my actor and then

<Battle Commands>

ActorCmd

</Battle Commands>

on her class. I figured maybe classes added Attack by default, but seems it's something else causing it to stick. I'm running Yanfly plugins on the side, other than that I can't imagine anything else interfering with your plugin.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks. :)

I have a project with all of the pre-order bonus plugins added and enabled. With that project, I copied your settings into my actor's notes field:

And your settings into my class' note field:

This was my result:

For reference, my Force Default Commands parameter was set to 1 for this test, although changing it didn't seem to affect the result above.

Did you confirm that your actor is indeed the class where your notetags are set? That's the only thing I can think of.
