Really Experimental Temporal Reliability Operations - R.E.T.R.O. v0.10 Drakkonis Introduction This plugin has the rather lofty goal of allowing MZ plugins that are otherwise incompatible to function in RPG Maker MV. It is a work-in-progress, and is nowhere NEAR ready for a full release. RETRO now has a documentation file located here. This file will provide an overview of the major elements RETRO currently enables, some of its under-the-hood supporting functions, and a detailed breakdown on manual command entry. For MZ plugin commands, I highly recommend OcRam's RETRO Plugin Command UI. This little program was made by @OcRam specifically for RETRO. It emulates MZ's plugin command UI and builds a command string that you can just copy into MV's existing event command for plugin commands. For complex plugin commands, like some from his own plugins, this UI is practically required. Features RETRO's list of functional features grows with each release. For a (non-exhaustive) overview, please see the documentation text. Previously it was brought to my attention that the method RETRO used to read plugin information was only possible on PC environments due to requiring Node.js functionality, which mobile and web versions of a game apparently don't or can't support. It originally only affected the use of MZ plugin commands. However the functionality in question has expanded slightly in scope, so adjusting the information retrieval method got pushed to the front of the line. RETRO should hopefully now be compatible with mobile/web releases, but this hasn't been tested yet. WIP Working through Casper's CGMZ plugin library. So far, one plugin mysteriously non-functional. No crashes on it, so figuring it out is low priority, as I've sunk too much time into it already. I'll come back to it. How to Use Save this plugin as "RETRO.js". Make sure it goes above all MZ plugins you're using in the plugin list. Update to Plugin Commands (v0.10) - The MZ Plugin Command system has been overhauled a LOT. It is now capable of handling nearly any kind of command and argument list, with two exceptions. However, this also means that its usage has become very complex if the command itself has any complexity to it. To use MZ plugin commands, you will either need OcRam's RETRO Plugin Command UI(the easiest solution), or read the documentation VERY carefully(the hard, potentially painful way). The two known exceptions to RETRO's MZ plugin command functionality are both for nested arguments. RETRO can handle an array inside a struct(object), or a struct inside an array. But it currently CANNOT handle structs inside of structs, or arrays inside of arrays. Attempting to use arguments like this will crash the game. This is planned to be remedied in the next update. Plugin Commands / Script Calls This plugin offers no commands, and any custom functions declared are really only useful within the plugin code itself. Known Functional Plugins The plugins listed here are ones that I or others have personally tested with RETRO, and can confirm are functional. Coelocanth's Item Crafting Drakkonis' Plugin Core Drakkonis' TP Control Casper Gaming Plugins - His Core is required, full functionality unknown, but no issues so far with any of his plugins on this list. Some of these plugins are compatible only because the core doesn't break with them, if they were standalone they wouldn't even need RETRO. Casper Gaming's Achievements Casper Gaming's Encyclopedia and Bestiary Casper Gaming's Extra Stats Casper Gaming's Infinite Colors Casper Gaming's Item Crafting Casper Gaming's Item Conditions Casper Gaming's Menu Theme Casper Gaming's Splash Screens Casper Gaming's Game Info OcRam Plugins - OcRam was kind enough to work with me on RETRO, primarily in getting his MZ plugins operational. His MZ plugins are all in their own dedicated thread. OcRam's MZ Plugins Partially Functional Plugins The plugins listed here are technically functional, but currently have certain issues that will be explained for each. I intend to fix as many of these as possible. Download Really Experimental Temporal Reliability Operations Useful Links RETRO Documentation OcRam's RETRO Plugin Command UI Terms and Credits This plugin is free to use in any project, commercial or otherwise. Make sure to credit myself(Drakkonis), and anyone else mentioned below: Restart - Created FOSSIL and inspired the creation of RETRO. OcRam - Provided substantial assistance in not only getting his plugins operational, but also provided insight that improved RETRO's efficiency in a few areas. He also created the RETRO Plugin Command UI tool, making the newly-complex plugin commands a trivial matter. Miscellaneous This is a work in progress, and it will probably be a long time before it's ready for a v1.0 release. As such, I don't recommend using it in its current form for a finished/released game unless its current compatibility is sufficient for you. Until it's released at v1.0, RETRO is to be considered a…

At first glance (without actually trying to use the plugin yet), it looks like the primary issue is how the plugin is written. The exact error is the program trying to get a value that doesn't exist. This is because the author doesn't create the object the program is looking for until just AFTER the function that looks for it. Obviously it's something that MV and MZ are handling slightly differently, but because of the way he's written it, I'm not sure if the problem is something RETRO needs to address directly. I THINK the issue is a single line in the plugin's code needs to be moved two lines up.

If I'm able, I'll try to look into it more directly tomorrow, with actual testing to reproduce your error and trying to eliminate it with just a line move. I can't promise whether or not it's a RETRO fix or just an adjustment needed to the plugin itself. I'd have to learn how to set the plugin up and use it properly. I've not dealt with doodad plugins before.

Need a help or suggestions...

I want to use Video player plugin, but it gives an error while loading a video file.
I did everything as instructed.

Am I able to do something with it or is it hopeless?
