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…

Would that create a sub-menu under Magic?
It would present the player with a single skill menu containing both White and Black magic. The order of the skills is determined by the order you place the skill type IDs in the STypes tag. If White Magic is skill type 2 and Black Magic is skill type 3 in the following example:

STypes(Magic):2,3

Then White Magic skills would be displayed first and Black Magic skills would be displayed second under the command Magic. There are no additional submenus; The player selects 'Magic' and is presented with a unified skill list containing both White Magic skills and Black Magic skills.

Does this answer your question?

Would there be a relatively simple way to add the mana cost of a skill to the bottom right of the description box during battle? Or maybe add another smaller description box above the other one that holds mana cost and (in my case) cooldown/warmup speeds? I'm willing to code it myself if someone can give me a good starting point.

I've been looking into a good way to accomplish this while incorporating skill cost plugins like Yanfly's Skill Core etc. Stay tuned, I have been making progress. :)

Thanks for the plugin.

I want to do a limit break (like FFVII) : hide a "Llimit" command, then pop that command when TP is full. I don't know if i'ts possible to do that with your plugin. I haven't managed yet :/

Wow. This thread has gotten some attention. Following as a fan of Bobstah. I'm still using the earlier version (as it satisfies all my needs), but I am looking forward to the potential of Battle Command Icons!! :)

:3, Thanks!

You really should upgrade though, depending on version. Bug fixes and all that.

What enabling alternate attack commands? I have a skill called quick attack that I want to use as a normal attack with weapons sprites showing and everything on one of my characters.

The Kadokawa plugin folder that came with my RPG Maker MV download has a plugin called WeaponSkill. Using notetags, it allows you to change a weapon's attack skill to be something different.

If that's not what your looking for, I think a combination of Yanfly's Action Sequence and my plugin should put you on the right track. This plugin isn't really meant to adjust animations, and I think going down that road would add bloat.

Is there not another plugin available that accomplishes this yet?

#89 Nov 3, 2015, 09:40 PM Source

I haven't seen any other plug ins that enable an alternate normal attack yet.

Using a combo of my Battle Commands plugin, Yanfly's Battle Core and Action Sequence extension 2, you can accomplish what you want.

For the Class or Actor you want an alternate attack skill for, use this Battle Command notetag:

<Battle Commands>

skill:ID

skills

guard

items

</Battle Commands>

Then, on the skill you want to be an alternate attack, add the appropriate action sequence commands. I'm not very familiar with Yanfly's action sequence commands, but I'm going to give it my best shot for you:

<target action>

attack animation: target

action animation

</target action>

I can't guarantee that the above section for Yanfly's Action Sequence Extension 2 will work, but I think that's the correct way to approach the situation.

I'm using

<Battle Commands>

skill:ID

skills

</Battle Commands>

The help window for skill:ID appear directly above the command window but the help window for skills appear at the very top. How to adjust help window for skills to appear directly above the command window?

I'm assuming that the command is showing up, just disabled until the TP bar is full, and you want the command to be completely hidden until then. Is that correct?

Do you mean when you're inside of a skill menu and trying to pick a skill, the help window is at the top? If so, that is expected. I only modify the position of the skill window during the command selection phase.

Version 1.9 is available! Added icons, icon overriding, and command renaming! Download

New things:

It draws icons, which makes the command window really tiny. I might make it larger at some point.

It should be a lot faster on slower devices.

New Notetag things:

Any command except ActorCmd can be prefixed with iX-, where X is the Icon Index to use. Example:

i15-Skill:5

Any command except Attack, Guard, Items, and ActorCmd can have (CommandName) after the command to rename it. Example:

Skill(Jump):5

You can combine the two:

i15-Skill(Jump):5

Version 1.9.1 is available! Added a parameter to hide icons. Download

New parameter information is below and in the first post.

Show Icons

* 0: Do not show icons.

* 1: Show icons. Note, this causes Window_ActorCommand.drawItem, Window_ActorCommand.itemTextAlign, and Window_ActorCommand.addCommand to be overwritten.

I gave version 1.9 a quick try a moment ago and got an error - did you notice this and fix it in 1.9.1, or shall I give a more detailed bug report?

I didn't fix any bugs with 1.9.1, all I did was add a parameter that I forgot to add. Please provide more information. :)

The error occurs almost immediately after entering combat. I haven't updated since 1.7, so it could technically be the 1.8 update that's causing this (using 1.7 doesn't give me an error).

No other plugins are on.

Check and make sure all of your skill IDs are valid. From what I can tell, the line on which this is occurring is looking up a skill based on ID. If everything looks good, shoot me a PM and we'll continue there to avoid clogging up the thread.

Hello, the most recent update did something weird; I haven't updated for a long time though. Anyway, ever since i applied this update the default "Skill" command set got disabled in battle. It's still there; but it's not selectable...
