Just one more minor question, and this has probably to do with me misinterpreting things.

I have a ranged weapon equip for my character and I have it set for the missile animation from the data base. However it doesn't play the bow animation. It does this weird poses which I'm guessing come from "idle2" and "walk" which I set to a single frame. The same with magic. Is my configuration wrong? I deleted idle 2, idle3 and walk to see if it did anything but now the animation goes blank.

well idle1 is for when you're in the party window ( when you pick fight or run ), while idle2 is when the actor already picked an action but is waiting for his turn to act.

So the what should be happening in the motions is:

idle1

> picks attack with bow

idle2

>turn starts, and actor attacks

walk

>once walk is complete

missile

>then action ends

walk ( not sure if it walks back dont remember )

idle2

> turn ends

idle1

If you want, you can send me a sample project, or the battler img that uses that sprite config so I can see for myself and debug it.

Thanks for the clarification. I went ahead and made idle2 the attack animation and it's all working well now.

Thanks for all the help.

Actually, scratch that it obviously doesn't work :( The fire animation plays for idle2 but as soon as the action is over it repeats it. It's skipping over the "missile" motion.

Here's a link to a sample project if you want to take a look:

Ah yeah I see now. From testing I can see it's an incompatibility with one of yanflys plugin. I disabled them all, and made idle2 a copy from idle1 and it looks correct now. I'll look into seeing why it's not using the missile motion when you use it with yanfly.

Alright:
v1.085

Ah, now it's working well.

Further testing shows that it's not compatible with Yanfly's animted sideview enemies.

But overall it works well for the playable characters. Thanks for all the help and patience.

Hi Quasi and the rest of this forum!

I noticed a problem with your Sprite Plugin: The diagonal idle poses "idle1", "idle3", "idle7" and "idle9" don't seem to work correctly. They just show the first frame of the animation, not the complete animation.

I attached some test files for you to validate (or proof incorrect): I created a new project in MV, installed QuasiMovement and QuasiSprite, put the SpriteAnim.json in /data, and the png in /img/characters. Then Harold got this character sprite.

The animation configuration shows the red moving sprite when being idle diagonally, the green sprite when idle "normal" (not diagonally) and blue when moving. Dashing is not configured.

Could you or someone else please look into this? I don't really think, that it's a problem just for me, but you can never be sure.

Thanks!

UPDATE: It works with version 1.082 (included in the demo).

@josaaku I'll look into it, thanks for attaching sample files to test it.

Diagonal idles work again, thank you. I had a incompability with yanfly's Battle Engine Core that didn't appear in 1.082, but it's fixable with load order.

Spoiler
I didn't use a QuasiSprite as SV-Battler (there is no configuration in SpriteAnim), still the game crashes when the character is about to attack. Guard works fine.

I had the following log error:

ReferenceError: Alias_Sprite_Actor_forcetMotion is not defined

It worked in 1.082. The solution: Load Battle Engine Core after Quasi Sprite. Easy peasy.

Great work, Quasi! Amazing plugin.

Is there any way we don't have to use the ''#'' in the spritesheet name? It results in an error called "Failed to make distribution package" when you try to deploy the game.
josaaku

#52 Jun 30, 2016, 06:04 AM Source

You can easily change it in the plugin parameters (It's the only parameter so far):

* @param File Name Identifier
* @desc Set the file name identifier for QSprites
* Default: #{config}-
* @default #{config}-

Just leave the {config} intact, like " %{config}_ " or anything like that.
Iruga2266

#53 Jun 30, 2016, 06:36 AM Source

Oh... Well.. I had tried something like that. Instead of putting "%{config}-", I did "${config}-". I guess it does not work with $. Maybe something to do on how the engine reads this symbol.

Thank you. I've tried with % and it worked just fine.

Any news on the animated sideview enemies patch yet? :D

Edit: It worked with the character spritesheet. But the SV Spritesheet does not. :/

It does work if the config is #SV-. But if it is %SV-, it won't read.

Edit²: I've managed to make it work by editing some of the code. On the lines 54 and 398 I've replaced #{config}- for %{config}, and it started to work again.

#54 Jun 30, 2016, 10:24 PM Source

Well you don't have to edit the JS, just open the plugin manager and change the parameter. As for $ not working, that's probably because that is already used in MV for single character sheets.

No news for the sv enemies yet, mainly because I'm not a fan of making patches. So there's a chance it might not come.

As for it not working for SV, that is a bug, an a more proper way to fix it would be to edit line 398 and change it to:

var string = _identifier.replace("{config}", "(.+?)");

I'll have this fixed in the next patch, just looking into a few other possible issues atm.

Okay i think i found the bug.

If in the editor all my chars take for there actions the frames from the first actor.

Here are the 'damage' motion frames from my first actor:

And here the Damage frames from my healer:

The Pattern 48-51 get ignored by the programm/plugin and take the frames 32-35 from my first char. So my healer take here 'chant' motion for the Damage Motion.

And in this case i only can create own motions for the first actor and the next actors can't get their own motions :((

Puh... i hope u guys know what i mean :D

That is a bug. And it happens when you change your spritesheet in the editor. Try to re-open the editor and see if it solves the issue.

Hmmm... but in the editor is everthing allright.

The problem is ingame, like i said befor in the upper post:

How's your SV Spritesheet named?

If that is Scarlett, is it named as #Scarlett-...?
