Felskis Skilltree Plugin

Felski · 2018-09-26T07:06:01+0900

Introduction This plugin is a complex skill tree plugin. It allows you to create multiple skill trees for actors and classes. To unlock nodes the party has to spend currency or items. You also need to unlock the nodes in order. Not only learns the actor skills when activating a node of the skill tree, you can also change switches or run common events. It's highly customizeable with sizes, margins and fonts for tree nodes. You can also define background images and animations. With animations, you can not only play the animation effect, but also flash the screen or play sound effects. There is also a editor for the skill trees! See the plugin and the demo for more infos. How to use You need to provide a Techtrees.json file. Check the demo for a working techtree. I've also added a JSON Schema and a JSON Editor thanks to https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor. Additionally you need to add a tree to an actor by adding the uids of the trees via notetags: HOLY HEALER You can alter the system look by changing the files in /img/system/techtree. Requirements This plugin is developed and tested in RPG Maker MV v1.6.1. Video Video Tutorials How to install How to create a simple tree Demo and plugin files https://felski.itch.io/felski-skilltree Lastest Update v1.3.7 fixed a bug when using the class change core by Yanfly together with no actor based skill tree. fixed a bug visual in the node confirm window that prevented the window from updating the cursor properly. fixed a bug when switching from a tree with a background image to a tree with no background image. The old background image will now disappear properly. fixed multiple bugs with the preloading of background images. All background images should now display when first selecting a tree. Spoiler: Older Updates v1.3.6 fixed a clipping error with the description of skills in the node confirmation window v1.3.5 added a plugin parameter Compact Texts which fixes makes texts use line heights based on their fontsize. This makes texts look more compact and actually adds a use to different font sizes. It is enabled by default. changed the node confirmation window to properly draw all content. Be warned. Many content will still break the window. fixed a bug that would cut of skill descriptions on word wrap. added an option to draw a bigger window for a node. Added an option for this in the Tree Builder App. You can find it in each node. fixed a bug regarding the background image in the node confirmation window. It should now display directly. added the plugin command HASACTORNODEACTIVE [actorId] [tree uid] [node uid] [switch id]. it checks if and actor has a specific node in a tree active or not. added a warning popup on start when you have a faulty node. Currently this only alerts you of skills that dont exists. you can now open trees of actors that are not in the party using the TECHTREE [actorId] plugin command v1.3.4 fixed a bug that made the tree look weird in certain cases v1.3.3 added the plugin command ACTIVENODESGOLDCOST [actorId] [tree uid] [variable id]. it saves the gold cost of all active nodes for an actor and a specific tree. added the plugin command ACTIVENODESJPCOST [actorId] [tree uid] [variable id]. it saves the JP cost of all active nodes for an actor and a specific tree. added the plugin command ACTIVENODESITEMCOST [actorId] [tree uid] [item id] [variable id]. it saves the item cost of a specific item of all active nodes for an actor and a specific tree. added the plugin command ACTIVENODESWEAPONCOST [actorId] [tree uid] [weapon id] [variable id]. it saves the weapon cost of a specific item of all active nodes for an actor and a specific tree. added the plugin command ACTIVENODESARMORCOST [actorId] [tree uid] [armor id] [variable id]. it saves the armor cost of a specific item of all active nodes for an actor and a specific tree. v1.3.2 added support for SumRndmDde's SwipeInput Plugin. This was only tested on Windows, but should work on mobile, too. See http://sumrndm.site/swipe-input/ added message replace features for descriptions: \V[x] \N[x] \P[x] \G \C[x] \I[x]. They should behave similar to the RPG Maker standard feature. v1.3.1 fixed the RESETTECHTREE and RESETTECHTREES refund bug. It should refund or not refund accordingly. v1.3.0 Minor Changes: added a new plugin parameter to make the skill tree scene in the menu display only. added plugins commands to prepare the TECHTREE command. TECHTREE DISPLAYONLY opens the tree in display only mode, similar to the new plugin parameter TECHTREE PRESELECT [tree uid] preselects a specific tree for the actor. If the tree isnt found, the default selection is used. TECHTREE SINGLE prevents the user from changing trees these two changes can be used to make the plugin work with skill trainers Example: Enable the plugin parameter so the skill tree is only for display in the menu and then add skill trainers all over the world (use the plugin command TECHTREE to open the trees in change…

Oh ok. I thought I can just edit the demo and copy-paste it in my project. Thanks for the quick response!

EDIT: Oh I didn't notice the skilltree html in the demo folder, sorry. Thanks again!

Well, you can. Just open the data/Techtrees.json with the TreeBuilder App and then save the result to your game. Then add:
<techtree>
TREEUID
</techtree>

to an actors notetag or a class notetag to add it.

This seems like a very useful plugin, but when I pick an actor in the skilltree menu, I get the error "TypeError: Cannot read property 'iconIndex' of undefined".

I'm very new to using plugins, so this is probably a super obvious noob mistake I'm making.

It's a fresh project, all I've done is use the copy-and-paste installer, copy the Techtrees.json file from the demo, and added the techtree notetags to Harold in the database.

EDIT: I made some trees of my own, and now I can get to the part where I choose a tree. But when I do pick one, the nodes don't show up. If I press enter, I hear the buzzer sound, and if I press an arrow key I get the error "TypeError: Cannot read property 'technode' of undefined".

Hey @PrincipalMonokuma

there are multiple reasons that can lead to such errors.
First, which version of RPG Maker MV do you use? The plugin is developed and tested for RPG Maker MV v1.6.1.
Do you load a save file that was created before you added the plugin? Using a new started game should fix it then.

When the error comes up, could you open the console (F8 is the default key if I remember correctly) and take a screenshot of the error message and post it here?

Best regards,
Felski

Here's a screenshot of the console error.

Like I said, it's a fresh project. I don't have an old save file to load.

I'm using the newest version, 1.6.2, which is said in the patch notes to not actually have any differences from 1.6.1.

Hi @PrincipalMonokuma

I finally found the time to check this out. The issue is that Techtree.json from the demo has more skills defined in the database that a new project has. Just increase the skill amount or copy the data/Skills.json from the demo (the project needs to be closed while doing this).

here is what I have so far :

In a classic menu or Battle :

Thanks a lot for your work anyway !

Regarding your screenshots. What shows when you click on the button next to Visibility Requirements?

Hi @CropseFather

the swipe input is a plugin by SumRndmDde. You can find it here http://sumrndm.site/swipe-input/
Just load it in your plugin list before my plugin like in this picture: and the main tree window will support swipe input to scroll.

Hi, out of curiosity, can the skill tree be used with the regular size MV window or does it have to be the wider window?

Hi @Paladin-Cleric of Awesome

the regular size MV window is no problem for this plugin. You can change all sizes from fonts to windows. So you can make it fit onto any screen size you want.

Sorry about this but I've been trying to use your wonderful skilltree in my project. I've copied everything over to my project added a new tree, but everytime I go to open the skilltree remotely (through a crystal) it comes up with cannot read property 'actorid' is null. I'm not sure what to do to fix it. I've checked your demo and I can see nothing different between them.

NVM
I just moved my game maps and stuff into your file and it works now. not sure what I did.

Hi @Paladin-Cleric of Awesome

when you open a skill tree from an event you usually have to give the plugin command an actor id to know which skill tree to open.
Would you mind posting a screenshot of the error and a screenshot of the event that you use to open the skilltree remotely?

@Felski
Wondering if it would be possible to be able to use text codes in the json file for node descriptions? Such as being able to use \i[n] for icons and \c[n] for colors.

Hi @J0M0,

you can use \V[x] \N[x] \P[x] \G \C[x] \I[x] in node descriptions since version 1.3.2 of the plugin. They should behave similar to those used by RPG Maker messages.

Hi everyone, I am completely new when it comes to making games or anything that has scripts or coding, but I have a younger brother who really wants me to make him a rpg game with no people in it and with a skill tree that he can play. I really need all the help I can get, and this plugin looks great from what I understand of it. So what I'm needing help with is showing the skill tree and the skills in the game and where to put them in my project folder. I know I need to make the skills first, but I have absolutely no clue what to do from there, but my brother is so excited that I don't want to quit the project or make him upset. Can anyone help me? I know it's a lot to ask for but I would really really really appreciate any advice. Thank you so much.
