OcRam MZ -plugins

OcRam · 2020-09-04T01:22:49+0900

Introduction This is the main thread for all of OcRam RMMZ -plugins! NOTE: ALL OcRam MZ -plugins are RETRO'able to MV! RETRO thread (for MV): Click here Spoiler: MZ Demo -project video Terms of Use: Click here OcRam_Core is required by all other OcRam (MZ) -plugins. Purpose of this plugin is to keep code base minimal, optimize memory and CPU usage. OcRam_Battle_Core This plugin provides battle features like action sequences, substitute behaviours, animated SV enemies, enhanced damage popups and much more! This is also required by other OcRam_Battle -plugins. OcRam_Battle_Troops Ever tired to create troops for all possible enemy variations? Or needed to form random encounter with 1-4 enemies from this enemy pool? This plugin will save you from creating thousands of troops! OcRam_Time_System will add highly customizable Time System to your RMMZ -projects. Includes map/menu clocks, dynamic seasons, months, weekdays and much more! OcRam_Weather_System will add highly customizable Weather System to your RMMZ -projects. Includes weather pools, enchanced RMMZ weathers integration to Time System (not required) and much more! OcRam_Movement will enable diagonal and pseudo-pixel movement for you RMMZ -project! Supports all default input devices: gamepad, mouse/touch and keyboard! OcRam_Events allows you to streamline your eventing by creating event bases! Only 1 place to make changes globally! Or need to spawn events (like loot chests, projectiles etc...)? Autofill speaker name and face with emotions? And much more! OcRam_Followers Actor toggling with designated hotkey(s), commands to (re)locate followers, enable or disable followers follow (QoL for cutscenes)! Apply move routes, balloons and animations to any follower! Lost Vikings style puzzles (where you need to toggle characters) and MUCH MORE! OcRam_Audio will give possibility to play several BGS at the same time. Events may emmit also DYNAMIC sounds with desired radius and other parameters! Create example rivers, camp fires, beach etc... It's nice to hear the closer you are the louder you hear (also possibility to AUTO PAN!) OcRam_Lights will add light layer to your RMMZ -projects. Light sources comes with all possible colors (and can even rotate colors) and several types (flickering, pulsating, fire, normal, strobo, flash light etc...) ...Oh and events can have multiple light sources! OcRam_Layers display ultra fast parallax layers or dynamic scrolling/looping tiled layers (even in title/battle for fog, sandstorm etc... effects). This plugin also offers plugin commands to show, move, tint, rotate and erase pictures! OcRam_Title_Shuffler How cool would it be to show different locations from the game world in title screen?! OcRam_Layers and OcRam_Weather_System is highly recommended to utilize full potential of this plugin! OcRam_Title_Info This plugin will enable you to show various information in title screen! Example: Your game version, Copyright info, Website and even allows JS eval! OcRam_Indicators OcRam_Labels has evolved to OcRam_Indicators and swallowed also OcRam_Messages (as known in MV) in the process! This plugin also provides some extra options for player to choose if labels, messages and/or indicators are shown! (Options can be hidden with plugin parameter) OcRam_Passages this is must have if your game has several floor levels (bridges, cliffs etc..) and want to easily create in-depth effect. Easily prevent event interacting between different floor levels but it is also possible allow interacting for desired events at any level. Even AUTOTILES can be drawn above player! OcRam_NPC_Scheduler Ever wanted to create a town where townsfolk lives their life like going to market, pub and their job-/hangout places? But probably don't want to go out if there's storm or blizzard going on? OcRam_Star_Tile_Fix All who have used larger than 1 tile sprites, have propably strugled with star (*) tiles. This plugin will sort star tile z-index by y axis! No configurations needed - This is plug'n'play plugin! OcRam_Local_Coop This plugin allows up to 4 players to control their own party member! All players can interact with events, call menu and participate in battles. You may use this plugin to create some awesome coop dungeons (Lost Vikings style), which are also playable in single player mode with OcRam_Followers! OcRam_Map_Transfer Give map notetags to tell maps which map they are connected to. Make your transfers easier - especially if there are several connection points between maps! Includes also new type of transfer "Scroll" (Old school Zelda like)! OcRam_Credits This plugin adds new Credits scene to your RPG Maker project! Each category may have it's own background. Fallbacks to plugin default BG and after that fallback to previous scene bitmap snap (like default menu). OcRam_Misc This plugin should cover all those 'minor' things, that I thought won't need own dedicated plugin for it. Like features 'pixel perfect rendering', JS eval on items/states, CE on ma…

Hello OcRam. Great work with the plugins.
I'm using "star tile fix" and "movement" in MZ and I found a bug (or maybe I'm doing something wrong)

If pixel movement is enabled then this happens even when event and character have the same priority
It is not possible to collide with the NPCs

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Thank you for the message,

It almost seems like they have different "floor levels" provided by OcRam_Passages. You are not using Passages?

What if you try to log _higherLevel instead of _priorityType?

Hello. Thanks for the prompt reply
I was not using OcRam_Passages, but I added it now and it works fine.

Not ideal to have the plugin installed just for the fix, but maybe I'll use its features in the future as well

Thanks a lot

Thank you for the info!

It should NOT require passages. Were they on different "floor level" (._higherLevel)?

Actually, that value is undefined, maybe I'm getting it in the wrong way?

That is exactly how it's supposed to look w/o Passages... I'll take a closer look this in next few days.

Hey, is the light plugin compatible with the latest corescript for MZ? Battle lights seem to be messed up, but ambient lights are fine otherwise. No worries if I need to revert, by all means.

Screenshot of issue

Edit: False alarm. Seems getting rid of a rogue plugin fixed the problem.

Hello OcRam, I'm stressing your plugins a lot lately, sorry! :LZSproud:

I got the Movement plugin to hang the browser. Good thing: It is easy to reproduce.
If I call
Code:
$gameMap.event(3).findDirectionTo(x,y)
and x and y are the position where the character is
( Not sure if this also affects: and the event(3) is close to the character )
It hangs.

I added some console.log to try to see where it happened and added the result here in the screenshots

Thanks a lot in advance for your support!!!

I always support latest version for both MZ and MV. Glad you got it all figured out and sorry I couldn't reply sooner.

Thank you for the message,

I will take a look at this. Also noticed that I must revert path finding algorithm to original one or make plugin parameter (Unlimited path find), because now all maps needs to be designed in the way there are no unreachable areas... I'm working on it as we "speak".

Edit: I tried to replicate this, but everything worked like supposed to. It might be that my dev version has already fixed this (it has some other diagonal related fixes).

Hello, @OcRam I hope this is the right one. Lol.

I was playing poorrabbit's demo for the rabbitMap plugin and noticed an error for the Movement. Not sure if it's already been fixed or not but figured I would go ahead and let you know.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's a compatibility issue or something going on with this specific plugin. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. And yes, I tested it myself by disabling the plugin. Ocram Core alone works just fine. Just not Movement. It happens when you walk for a period of time. Like... 5 to 10 minutes and then it'll appear.

EDIT:

If you're curious, here's a link.

Also, I was using MZ. Lol.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan of your plugins and your website - great work with both! :)
I'll buy some of the plugins as soon as my new game is almost finished :D

However, I also ran into a bug regarding two of your plugins (in MZ). I deactivated everything else - except the core of course - to make sure it has something to do with those two. When I activate the Time system as well as the Weather System and try to open the menu in game I get a 'Cannot read property '2' of null'. The Time system is above the Weather system. If I deactivate one of them, everything is fine.

Hmm... Have you updated those plugins recently? After updates revalidation of all new parameters should be done via clicking "OK" for each new plugin parameter.

And are you using any menu related plugins?

I downloaded them yesterday from your website and put them into my game, so they should have been all revalidated. I tried putting your plugins into a brand new game, but I still got the same error when I try to open the menu. I don't use "Events", "Followers", "Indicators", "Local Coop" and "Movement". But, just to try it out, I copied all plugins over to that clear test project and used the same order you did in your demo.
It was still not working for me while it did work in your demo, so I continued fiddling around and figured out it has something to do with the settings of the Time system. There were three settings different from your demo, so I changed them in my clear project one by one to match your demo settings to find out which one causes the problem. I found out if I set "Clock type in map" to 0 (so just plain text), the game gives that error when opening the menu.
I then tried to change the same setting to 0 on your demo and if I then open the menu in playtest, I get the error 'Cannot read property '0' of null' instead of 'Cannot read property '2' of null', but that may have something to do with one of the other settings. You'll should get one of the two errors this way.

I hope this helps you somehow :)

Hello @OcRam I want to report a bug with Star Tile Fix.
When a Layer 2~3 tile is combined with a Layer 4 tile (for example trees), the below layers (2~3) are gone.

However, as you could notice on the right image, the trunk tiles are still kept.
There are no regions drawn. I tried to fix this with Passages, but didn't worked.

I tried it with only Core and Star Tile enabled, in blank project and even in your own project.
Seems that this is caused due .txt file not existing with the png tile.

In your project, on the city the issue doesn't happens since the default tiles are using a .txt file which apparently performs how certain tiles interacts ingame, however any tileset missing the .txt file with such value causes your script to absolutely erase layers 2~3 below layer 4.

EDIT: Also I noticed that you can't disable weeks/months/seasons feature in your Time System, could you please allow us to disable Weeks/Month/Seasons features separately? So we can use just the 24h feature if we want.

Thank you for the message,

Txt files shouldn't matter. If I remember correctly this should be fixed in latest version (OcRam_Star_Tile_Fix v1.02).

Clocks are made dynamic so you can choose what you want to show to player. They (months etc...) will just need variables (no need to show them anywhere).

Thank you for the quick reply!

I already updated the plugin, also Core, but the problem persists, reinstalled MZ to 1.3.2 version to ensure it's on the lastest version and made a new project just in case there's any saved data somewhere, see:

It sometimes happens, sometimes don't, also the character in some cases still behaves like not having the script enabled, look at Reid (Leader).
This happens when an O is behind a * (see image below):

Keep in mind that a tree below another tree was drawn by Autolayer. So if you already mapped, for example a forest wth two differernt trees combined like on the image, and the display bug happens, and there are a lot of trees, this could mean we have to redraw this map and all others affected.

You were right at least that the txt file has no impact on the script.
Hmmm....

Regarding the time system, the problem is on the menu:

Even deleting the vars and the strings, the date is still shown. How can I disable the date?

Can you put on "Debug mode" (in OcRam_Star_Tile_Fix parameters) send screen shots from results?

I'm so sorry! I remembered wrong I thought I had added menu time format parameter... I will add this to my to do list (so that you may display only time in menu).

And @Padramyr I have now fixed "Plain text" menu crash bug.

Thank you both for the reports!

Regarding the Time WIndow inside menu, by any chance do you know how can I reposition it?

I tested exactly same tree formations with my own project. I use autotiling/layering mainly, but had to force few layers where orange zero is shown (see picture). Mentioned issue must have something to do with layers if they do not follow "auto ~~tile~~ layer logics".

I'll try to check if I could make "Custom time window pos in menu" feature at the same time when "just time shown" feature is done.
