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…

Thanks DreamX. Do I just make this as a separate plugin, or attach it to the existing plugin?

Neither. You actually just copy and paste what I posted into the notebox for an item.

Thanks a lot, DreamX! I thought because of the coding it would be in the actual script files, but this will work great, full power!

Sorry I had not been able to get back to you, but I failed to do further testing with the updated version you did with the Attach Augment fix. Apparently it went back to applying prefix/suffixes to all items created regardless of percent chance.

Using version 1.20c of your plugin, and version 1.22 of Yanfly's Item Core.

Ah, I actually asked a question about your problem a little while back, here was the question:

Second problem: What are you using for chance? If you'd like a chance for an item not to be made with a prefix/suffix, make an item without any attributes but with

either the name blank or the notetag <prefixSuffixName:>

Give it a chance with <prefixSuffixChance:x> if you wish.

It seems like you are trying to have a chance that an item won't have a prefix/suffix applied at all. In that case, I suggest making a blank item and adding that to the prefix/suffix choices. If this is not what you are trying to do, let me know what result you are exactly aiming for and I'll see what I can do.

Someone asked me how to put in random custom parameters from Quasi Params Plus

You can do so just with javascript in the custom effect for your prefix/suffix item.

Here's an example. It adds a notetag set that works with Quasi's plugin.

Code:

<Prefix Suffix Effect>
// the minimum value
// replace 0 with whatever you want
var min = 0;

// the maximum value
// replace 10 with whatever you want
var max = 10;

// the name of the parameter
// replace str with whatever you want
var param = "str";

// randomly choose from the min to the max inclusive
var bonusPoints = Math.floor((Math.random() * (max + 1) ) + min);

// add the notetag to the item
newItem.note += "\n<params>\n" + param + ": " + bonusPoints + "\n</params>\n";
</Prefix Suffix Effect>

Edit: Make sure to have the latest version of their plugin.

While this does help add a non-enhanced item to the pool, it still doesn't solve the issue as I would see it.

I'm using your default parameters, and by that standard an item should only select a prefix 10% of the time...should then the default weapon be as it is in the database? What is happening is no matter what setting all items get prefix/suffix no matter what percentage ( yes even 0% ) even if the notetag is added.

I guess I won't dwell on it too much, it may be something with just my game since no one else is reporting it.

I thank you for your time, and patience. I look forward to many of your plugins in the near future =)

Now if only someone would create a plugin that shows SP-Parameters, and EX-Parameters on items =)

Are there any plans to link this with Yanfly's augment system and item synthesis, ala Dragon Age-style crafting?

I'd like to do that, though I can't guarantee it since Yanfly's system operates on the assumption that the items and its ingredients already exist in the database.

For stats I believe this is an issue with Item Core's random variance. You can turn variance off to stop this problem for now.

But I will work on a patch to fix the problem while variance is on.

I've never seen any rerolls of the prefix or suffix in my testing though.

I have found a bug(or something) when I upgraded from version 1.19a to 1.20d and I will try to explain this the best I can.

I am using Yanfly's Equipment Slots plugin along with item core and just about everything else he has done and I have the latest versions (Item Core: 1.24, Slots 1.06a) and for some reason the Upgrade info window is no longer working properly. It is not drawing all the info like it should and stuff disappears when the weapons slots are completely filled.

I know it is this plugin, as I can move its location to above Upgrade Slots and nothing changes, or above Item Core and this plugin stops working, but the upgrades work as intended... I can have this below both of the others and this one works, but the upgrade slots breaks, but if i turn this one off while it is below the others they work just fine.

In the following pics the 'BEFORE!' ones are from the 1.19a version of this plugin with the most up to date yanfly plugins, and the 'AFTER!' pics are after updating to 1.20d for this plugin.

Spoiler

EDIT: I just tried it with everything except for Yanfly's Core Engine(for resolution problems), Item Core, and Upgrade Slots, and this plugin turned off. Still broken sadly...

v1.21 - Fixes bug that caused Item Core variance to reset after unequipping.
Now correctly shows slots from Yanfly's Item Upgrade Slots for items made with this version.

Fixed the slot numbers showing improperly, but when the weapon/armor has used up all of its possible slots all the slot info and item names disappear :/ so still holding onto 1.19a for the time.

I'm going to make an update sometime that will allow for a prefix/suffix item to not be applied if the chance is too low, and to add the original base item if neither is applied

Actually I'm having that too, and I wasn't sure if I was just doing something wrong. A possible work-around in the meantime, make an affix that's just default with no effect, and make that one have a really high chance of being picked? As far as the player's concerned, then it looks like a large number of the drops are basic without enhancements.

Awesome work, BTW! I was really hoping someone would do a good affix system for MV, I was sad when Vlue decided not to port his system over from VXA. I spent a good 100+ hours building things for it there, and I think it was one of the coolest features I had in my game there.

Feature request for you: in the VXA system I used, I included data for each affix to alter the text color of a generated item based on the affix given, allowing for items in the inventory to be identified at a glance as to what quality affixes they had, much like most MMOs these days (example screenshot below). I found a way to alter the text colors for the affix descriptions here as they're added to items, but I can't seem to do anything for the actual item names in the inventory. Would it be possible to add some kind of options to specify a text color in the notetags or something?
