Random Item Prefixes & Suffixes

DreamX · 2016-02-28T09:55:52+0900

Random Equipment Prefixes & Affixes By DreamX Introduction/Features With notetags, you can specify random traits for an equipment by using an affix and/or prefix item. Do not use prefix/suffix notetags with starting items. If you want an actor to start with an randomized item, add the item to the party and then equip them with it. Patch Notes v1.24: Note: This version does not allow for independent items (randomized) to be used as augments. I'll try to find a solution but Yanfly's plugin isn't supposed to be using independent items for augments. There's a link to the last version (1.23d) in the topic post if you prefer it. -Added compatibility with large icon display in Item Core and Shop Core, for icon overlays -Added new notetags to use more than one prefix/suffix, with chances you can decide per individual item or item set -Added new notetags to pre-augment item with augments, with chances you can decide per individual item or item set -This version may possibly not work correctly with saves of older versions Other New Notetags: Won't add the prefix/suffix name Doesn't add space when adding prefix/suffix name Will capitalize the first letter of the new item's name and lower case every other letter I tested: -Everything new that was added -Adding Upgrades to randomized items -Drops with and without YEP Victory Aftermath -Drops with Yanfly Extra Enemy Drops -Saving/Loading -Removing augments from pre-augmented items -Pre-augmenting items in Hime's Shop Core -Buying pre-augmented items in Hime's Shop Core -Removing augments from pre-augmented items bought from Hime's Shop Core -Buying multiple randomized items from Hime's Shop Core Past Patch Notes: Spoiler 1.23a - Fixes a bug where the default parameter bonuses would go up to min + max, instead of between min & max. 1.23 allows for icon overlay. Quickly made example of what it can look like: The icons are drawn on top of each other. You can specify the order. * * This will allow the new item derived from this item to have its icon * overlay or by overlayed with another item. It must exist on at least two of the * following items when the new item is being made: the base item, prefix item * or suffix item. * -- * with x as the order. This will determine the order * in which the icons are overlayed. Lower values are placed first, with * higher values overlayed on top of those. v1.22 - Was skipped for some reason. v1.21a - Fixes resetting variance from Item Core from unequipping, fixes slot display from Yanfly Item Upgrade Slots. v1.20d - Allows for proper custom parameter setting with Quasi's Param Plus. Make sure to have the latest version of their plugin. v1.20c: Fixes item upgrade slot number not being shown when using Yanfly Item Upgrade Slots. v1.20b: Fixes bugs with Yanfly Attach Augments and few others of theirs. v1.20a: fixes a bug that caused shop core randomization not to work. v1.20: The plugin now requires Item Core. Items may only be randomized if the item type is independent (check Item Core parameters. By default weapons and armors are independent, but regular items are not. You'll need to change the parameters from the default for regular items). The plugin must now be named DreamX_RandomPrefixesSuffixes Previous saves are not compatible with this version. But should fix save issues. You will need to redo the parameters. Regular non-weapon/armor items can now be randomized. Compatible with all Yanfly plugin notetags as of 4/28/16. Fixes empty bonus text still causing the sign bonus to be shown. You can now use 0 in the range for random bonus parameters. Many notetags have been renamed or added. Check help file for more information. You can use a parameter to keep the old tags if you want, but I suggest you rename them. My recommendation is to use a text editor like notepad++, open the weapon and armor json files (after backing them up!) and convert them for both files at the same time. Here are the conversions: to to to to to to Prefix Affix to Prefix Suffix DreamX.RandomPrefixAffix to DreamX.RandomPrefixSuffix 1.19 -Added parameter for added price for prefix/affix items with random bonus stats. * Use with x as the name to override the database name * for this item when making the new item. This means you can name the * database item in a way convenient for you, but have the name display * differently in-game, as whatever you put in the notetag. 1.17 - You can now add item ranges instead of having to do them one by one. Like this: 5-10 In that example, item ids 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 will be added to the pool. You can now apply a custom js ef…

How can I add one quasi param to randomize with items?
I tried several things but they do not add up together.

For example if I would use HRT into the <Prefix Suffix Effect> set. The next set with the same HRT will not add up together.
The <params> set (from quasi) does not add to any random item sadly. Maybe I have the plugins in the wrong order, or I am doing it wrong. Please help :(

Hey!
Sorry I know it's a kind of necro-posting but I have a really important question. First, this plugin is like REALLY cool. But I have a problem, I'm bad à JS and I wonder how to had random element rate as bonus in suffix / affix. Can you please help me ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

It has been forever since I have used MV, let alone this plugin. I believe all the instructions are still intact. I'm not sure if it is set up to allow an element rate as a bonus. You're asking a lot from people by necro-posting this thread. I doubt many others will reply at all. My advice is to copy and paste the plugin's instructions into Chat GPT and ask your questions there. It will give you advice on how to use the plugin.

I suggest you learn more about coding; it's better than saying you're bad at it. Most coding questions can be handled with any number of AI tools now. Always remember to never alter code without the author's permission.

No, it's literally the point of the thread. The alternative would be to post a new thread with the question in Plugin Support and link back to here, which makes no beneficial difference.

This is very poor advice.

AI does not correctly understand code, and can not reliably interpret and explain what it does. It often gives incorrect instructions on how to use plugins (you can find multiple posts here where ChatGPT gave notetags that are combined from multiple plugins or just don't exist at all).

The majority of people who have tried to do what you describe end up posting here again with completely nonfunctional code that AI generators made up - because that's what generation is.

And then if you do run into trouble getting your generated code to work - which is very likely - the rules of the forum prohibit you posting it to request help with. So this recommendation is a good way to get left out in the cold, not knowing any more than you did before.

Yawgmoth said:

This is also functionally pointless. You should not distribute modified code unless the author's terms permit it, but there's no reason not to tweak a plugin to work the way you need it to for your game. Also, the terms in the first post of this thread explicitly allow it, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

You would use the Prefix Suffix Effect to construct and apply the trait to the item.

I'm not sure from your question whether you're asking for the element to be random, the rate to be random, or both. So I'll give you a demonstration using both and you just take whatever you need from it.
Code:
<Prefix Suffix Effect> // List the element IDs you want to choose from let elemIds = [2, 4, 5, 7]; // Define the minimum and maximum for the rate, in integer let rateMin = 25, rateMax = 70; // Determine a random value between the minimum and maximum rates let randomRate = Math.randomInt(rateMax - rateMin + 1) + rateMin; // Turn it into a decimal rate randomRate /= 100; // Construct the trait object let trait = {code: 11, dataId: elemIds[Math.randomInt(elemIds.length)], value: randomRate}; // Add the trait to the item newItem.traits.push(trait); </Prefix Suffix Effect>
The above code is untested, but looks like it should work - if you need any further help, feel free to ask any of the humans on the forum who are very willing to assist :stickytongue:

they made a thread for it afterwards and got their question answered by someone. its a part of the purpose for the forums. to ask for and receive help from others

@ATT_Turan
I did not think anyone would reply to a thread this old. I have been away from the community for a very long time. I am glad you were able to assist Krythias_san. My advice was to only copy and paste the instructions into Chat GPT and ask questions about the instructions. The second paragraph is where I suggest they learn more about coding, not for this specific problem but for all future ones they may have. Its fine to ask for help on the forums but a better solution is to put in some work yourself and not be at the mercy of waiting for a reply on the forums. I never once told them to generate AI code (You have made an incorrect assumption). AI is a learning tool and does not replace a person's creativity. As for my statement to never alter code without an author's permision that was not in regards to this plugin, that's why it was in the second paragraph with my suggestions for the future. It was just a reminder.

I'm even more confused. Whether this specific comment was directed at this specific plugin or something else, it's at best misleading as the vast majority of plugin writers explicitly state that anyone is free to modify their plugins. In fact, I've yet to stumble upon a plugin that states otherwise...

Also...

Yawgmoth said:

You did recommend ChatGPT to solve problems, knowing (or maybe you don't know?) that ChatGPT will spew lies without hesitation. This should never, under any circumstances be valid advice, IMHO. If all else fails, then maybe as a last resort, I can see it being useful. It's also not like this forum has had a track record of not helping people; quite the opposite.

My two cents.

Hi maybe someone can help I have an issue with the plugin, likely I'm doing something wrong.
I get the following item names show up for all items - strong sword of power undefined
So everything works, in that it applied a prefix and a suffix but at the end of every prefixsuffix item it shows the word undefined.

<Prefixes>

51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 75%

71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 50%

</Prefixes>

<Suffixes>

61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 100%

</Suffixes>

here is the item that is using the slots

First set of pre fixes
<prefixSuffixParameters: ATK 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: DEF 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MAT 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: AGI 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MHP 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MMP 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: LUK 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MDF 1|10>

1st set of siffuxies
<prefixSuffixParameters: ATK 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: DEF 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MAT 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: AGI 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MHP 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MMP 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: LUK 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MDF 1|10>

2nd set of prefixes
<prefixSuffixParameters: ATK 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: DEF 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MAT 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: AGI 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MHP 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MMP 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: LUK 1|10>
<prefixSuffixParameters: MDF 1|10>

I had this working in a previous RPG maker mz project which I no longer have access to so have previously
not had this issues with the plugin.
Using in a RPG maker MV project, so sure why I get this bug

any help would be great thanks :)
