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…

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...
Are you referring to Skills or Skill:ID?

If Skills, make sure the actor knows the skills and that they aren't sealed.

If Skill:ID, make sure the actor knows the skills and that they aren't sealed.

If both of those criteria are met, please provide the notetags you are using and the screenshot of the actor/class where they placed and where the skill and skill type are given and I will investigate further. :)

I'm referring to the default Skills set.

Yes, the actor knows the skill/s and they aren't sealed.

Here are the screenies:

Interesting, I had never intended for the icon tag to be used with Skills. Glad it works, I guess! :p

If you replace i72-Skills with i72-SType: STypeIDForMana does it work?

I'm not sure what you meant by replacing it with that:

I tried replacing i72-Skills directly with i72-Stype: STypeIDForMana and it crashed (sType ID not defined)

Replacing it with i72-SType:01 and it crashed as well (01 is the type id for Mana)

Replacing it with STypes(Mana):0008,0009 didn't crash but the command didn't show up at all.

(btw: "Mana" is the default Skills actually; i just replaced the actual text itself in the Type tab

Try:i72-SType:1

Instead of skills. If that works, I'll know how to recreate this and release a fix in the morning.

Also, if you want an icon, you should be using SType instead of Skills.

Tried i72-Stype:1 and it still crashed.

I tried "Skills" (without the icon) and it's visible but still disabled / can't be selected. Hmm, it might not be an issue with your plugin after all.

Regardless, i'll wait for your fix :) . Thanks!

[EDIT]: I can confirm that this plugin causes the disabled command. I turned this plugin off and i can access my skills again / not disabled anymore.

[EDIT2]: Tried another Skill type just to test, and now it's disabled as well.

[EDIT 3]: "i72-STypes(Mana):1" did the trick for me. Thanks! :)

I'm having a hard time understanding how to use the icons for commands, I just don't know what to put where and I don't really understand your main post, replies or help file. Can you add it to your FAQs how to add icons for stuff if that's all you wanted from this plugin?

Currently SType is not working.

STypes does work, but it's actually not an issue considering STypes does exactly what SType does except has the extra functionality of grouping skills together.

I got an error with my old notetags when updating to the latest version. Seems "Skill: 3" was the culprit as changing it to "Skill:3" made things work properly again.

Thanks for posting this, it helped me to figure out what my issue was as well.

Having spaces between the 'Skill' and the number of the skill used to work fine in 1.7, but in 1.9 it will break the plugin. Removing all the spaces fixed my issue.
Bobstah

#111 Nov 5, 2015, 10:11 AM Source

Version 1.9.3 is now available! Fixed notetags breaking when extra spaces used and skills/skill types always showing disabled. Download

Thanks for your patience, Sera, DustyCat Media, Cel, and residntevl. Please let me know if you experience any further issues.

If you only want to add icons, you still have to specify a battle commands notetag either at the actor level or the class level. It would look like this:

<Battle Commands>

i1-Attack

i1-Skills

i1-Guard

i1-Items

</Battle Commands>

Replace the number 1 in the above section to the icon index you want to use for each action. Note that if an actor has multiple skill types, the same icon will be used for each. To avoid that:

<Battle Commands>

i1-Attack

i1-SType:5

i1-SType:5

i1-Guard

i1-Items

</Battle Commands>

Replace the number 1 in the above section with the icon index you want to use (again). Replace the number 5 with the ID of the skill type from the 'Types' tab of your database.

Did this help?

@Bobstah: Actually your original suggestion (i72-Stype:1 ) worked even before the update; i just had to add the command name (i72-Stype(Mana):1. But anyway, thanks again! :)

If you didn't add the command name, it would break?

I believe I fixed that this time around, and if you're not renaming the command for combat, I would recommend taking (Mana) off of the tag. But it's your call. :)

I tried it just now, and while it works, the command just shows "???" instead of "Mana".

But anyway,what's important is that it's fixed. Thanks again! :)

It's not fixed if it isn't working like I want it to! :)

I tried to recreate this problem, but was unable to do so. Here are my notetags:

<Battle Commands>

attack

i11-SType: 00001

i11-stypes(Powers):1,2

i180-items

guard

</Battle Commands>

Can you post yours so that I can take a look?

Here's mine which produces the "???"

<Battle Commands>

Attack

Skill:0010

i72-STypes:1

i228-Items

</Battle Commands>

And here's a version that works:

<Battle Commands>

Attack

Skill:0010

i72-STypes(Mana):1

i228-Items

</Battle Commands>

I see the problem! You're using STypes, which requires a name to be specified. If you only want to list one skill type there, you should use SType:1 instead of STypes:1.

Make sense? :)

Yes it did!

Is it possible to include a "space" next to the icon and the text in the command window? Also, since the update, my actors "victory poses" are on fast forward now and they dance very fast after battle.

The first setting's default value is set to 1 for that very reason. :)

I can add a parameter called Icon Padding that would take a number. It would then add that many pixels between the icon and the text. Would that work?
