Sideview Frames

DreamX · 2016-02-19T02:35:16+0900

Sideview Frames By DreamX Introduction/Features With parameters and notetags, you can define for the frame count and frame speed for actors. Patch Notes v1.6 - Should now work with one frame. v1.5e - Fixed the script causing an error when Yanfly's Sideview Enemies isn't on, and damage is now correctly applied at the end of an actor's attack motion instead of before. v1.5 - Battlers will perform their full damage motion. Enemy sideview battlers no longer use the chant motion incorrectly. When "Motion Waiting" is set to true in Battle Engine Core, animations will take correctly take place after actors have finished their attack motion. v1.4 - There is now a parameter to decide the default looping method. Use on an actor or enemy to have a battler's frames loop from 1-2-3-1-2-3 instead of 1-2-3-2-1, if the parameter Straight Loop is false. This will override the parameter setting for that battler. Use on an actor or enemy to have a battler's frames loop 1-2-3-2-1,if the parameter Straight Loop is true. This will override the parameter setting for that battler. v1.3 Added holders configuration. You can put as a notetag for an enemy or actor and they can use unedited holder style sprite sheets, like those you get from the high fantasy main party packs from pvgames. Also fixes clickable selection of enemy sprites. v1.2 Fixed problem from v1.1 that caused motions other than idle not to work correctly. v1.1 Now loops correctly such as 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 if there are 5 frames. How to Use Right click the script link and select save link as. Adjust parameters to your liking. Parameter "Frame Number" is how many frames an actor has for motions by default. Parameter "Frame Speed" is the frame speed an actor has for motions by default. The lower the number, the faster it is. Parameter "Yanfly Enemy SV Frame Number" is for use with Yanfly's Animated Sideview Enemies and is the number of frames for animated SV enemies (that use the sprite sheet for different motions) by default. Use with x as the number for frames to override the parameter for an enemy or actor. Use with x as the number of frame speed to override the parameter for an actor. Note that you will have to edit the sideview sprite sheet when you change frame number so that each motion has the number of frames you set. Script Compatibility Must be placed UNDER Yanfly's Animated Sideview Enemies if you are using it.

Can you confirm that this plugin works with just one frame for each "animation"? I've made a 3x9 sprites spritesheet and set the plugin parameter to 1, but the battler continues to loop through some frames instead of being static for each "animation".

*Update: Solved*

Just had to set the "Straight Loop" parameter to 1.

The newest version I uploaded just now should work with 1 frame. I've tested it, so make sure your sprite sheet is in the same kind of format as the defaults, but with only one frame instead of three.

Awesome! Just updated and it now works with the "Straight Loop" parameter set to "false" (the default).

Thank you very much for the plugin. It will make my spritesheets 66% smaller now that I don't have to clone frames anymore. That means A LOT of saved space since I'm using huge battlers on HD resolution. \o/

Since I don't know what you did to cause the error, please start a new project and recreate the problem is as little steps as possible, and then tell me what steps you took.

Also please post the entire console error log.

Hi and thank you for making this.

I set it up and made a sprite sheet to test this. With a sprite that isn't mine. The sprite has 8 frames so the sheet ends up being 3072x768.

It seems to work when I start the battle but the it crash with a similar error as other people has reported.

I would post the console error log but I don't know where it is?

EDIT:

I started a new project and put in only the essensial plugins but I still get the same error.

The error doesn't happen when I disable the YEP_X_AnimatedSVEnemies

Use YEP Core Engine and turn on the console. It will appear as another window when you test the game. Copy the error log that appears in the console and paste it in a post here.

If you want speed up the fixing of this error even more, you can use this to create a small file size demo recreating the problem in as few steps as possible. Upload it to dropbox and post the link.

Hmm, im having a problem making the frames loops 1-2-3-1-2-3 rather than 1-2-3-2-1. I tried using <SVStraightLoop:true> in the notetag but it's still looping as 1-2-3-2-1

can you do only 1-2-3? or 1-2-3-4 or 1-2-3-4-5?

In case it happens to anyone:

The Maximum call stack size exceeded means a Javascript function is trying to call itself without a sign to stop (also known as infinite recursion in programming). In rare cases it occurs from wrong plugin order, but it's much more likely when there are compatibility issues... And there are indeed compatibility issues here.

If we take a look inside Yanfly's animated SV enemies, we can see this snippet:

Code:

Yanfly.SVE.Game_Enemy_performDamage = Game_Enemy.prototype.performDamage;
Game_Enemy.prototype.performDamage = function() {
    if (!this.hasSVBattler()) {
      return Yanfly.SVE.Game_Enemy_performDamage.call(this);
    }
    Game_Battler.prototype.performDamage.call(this);
    if (this.isSpriteVisible()) {
      this.requestMotion(this.damageMotion());
    } else {
      $gameScreen.startShake(5, 5, 10);
    }
    SoundManager.playEnemyDamage();
};

In DreamX's plugin there is this snippet:

Code:

Yanfly.SVE.Game_Enemy_performDamage = Game_Enemy.prototype.performDamage;
       Game_Enemy.prototype.performDamage = function () {
           if (!this.hasSVBattler()) {
               return Yanfly.SVE.Game_Enemy_performDamage.call(this);
           }
           Game_Battler.prototype.performDamage.call(this);
           if (this.isSpriteVisible()) {
               this.requestMotion(this.damageMotion());

               // new
               var frames = this.DXNumFrames();
               var frameSpeed = this.battler().motionSpeed();
               var waitTime = (frames * frameSpeed) - 12;
               if (waitTime > 0) {
                   BattleManager._logWindow._waitCount += waitTime;
               }

           } else {
               $gameScreen.startShake(5, 5, 10);
           }
           SoundManager.playEnemyDamage();
       };

Both have identical alias. I think it was an oversight from DreamX when he copypasted the function. But it essentially means that since we have one alias two times, when that alias gets called, it enters the infinite recursion and crashes.
Also, this only happens if an enemy is attacked while he's not an SV battler.
To fix the issue, open the DreamX's plugin and replace all occurences of
Yanfly.SVE
with
DreamX.SideviewFrames

You're welcome.

Do you have any plans to update this plugin for RPG maker MZ?

I dunno if this is considered necro-posting, and so sorry if it is?
But is there any way to differentiate what actions get sped up when you set the Frame Speed?
I noticed by default the idle animation in RPGMV is the right speed. But the attack animations play INCREDIBLY slow. I'd like to just speed up the attack animations and nothing else. Perhaps a way to add a note tag into a skill itself?

*EDIT* When i sped up the default it made the idle breathing animation go so fast it looks like the whole game is in fast forward lol.
