So I am using SRD's Stat Distribution plugin and when I playtest on web distribution, the Stat Boost option won't even show up at all like its not enabled.
I am assuming this is a visual bug, because it works for desktop distribution.
Help, if you can?
:)

Late bump

Can you show a screenshot of actual vs expected?
Also, can you test on a variety of different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge/Safari, etc.) and see if any of them work?
Edit: Also show a screenshot of the browser console to look for errors -

OH, I thought it was 24 hours. Thanks.

Sorry it took so long. Elsword is hard to put down right now.
Web version (bugged):

If you wanna test it yourself, you can try at the link in my signature.

First error thrown code: _.isNewNWjs = process.versions['node-webkit'] >= "0.13.0" && Utils.RPGMAKER_VERSION >= "1.6.0";
Second error thrown code: })(SRD.GameUpgrade); (????)
Third error thrown code: _.isNewNWjs = process.versions['node-webkit'] >= "0.13.0";
Fourth error thrown code: (Same as second)
Fifth error thrown code: FileManager.checkDataExists("DistributionStats.json", JsonEx.stringify({
Sixth error thrown code: (Same as fourth and second)
From what I can see, it might be a few things:
- MOST LIKELY I didn't completely downgrade when going from 1.6.1 to 1.5.1 and the errors from 1.6.1 are being thrown when using SRD's plugins (Could be a .js file or something, needs further testing)
- Plugins aren't in the right order (but then it wouldn't work otherwise)
- SRD's code and RPG Maker don't like each other and need to get over it.

Bumping...

I haven't used these plugins before, but I just skimmed through it to read what they do:
The "process" keyword is for Node applications (such as nw.js, the browser that comes bundled with the .exe file). This won't work on a regular web browser.
Because the "process" keyword causes an error in "SRD_SuperToolsEngine", none of the functions that are defined in that plugin get loaded. The "SRD_StatDistribution" depends on the SuperToolsEngine, therefore, it is trying to reference a function that doesn't exit (because SuperToolsEngine had an error).
Basically, SuperToolsEngine and GameUpgrade are designed to be used by the nw.js browser, not a web browser like Firefox, Safari, etc. This is because a lot of what these plugins do is create and read local files on your computer, which a web browser is not really allowed to do. -

So do I wait for an update or just go with .exe distribution only?
I am ok with the .exe only version, I just wanted something where people didn't HAVE to download it (even though they are during loading screens and such). -
did you post it in the thread for that plugin?

There are threads made for specific plugins?
What? -

SumRndmDde dropped out of the RPG Maker plugin making game so you might be out of luck there. You might have to stick with the exe. -

That's fine, being what it is. Slowly but surely SumRndmDde is being replaced by Yanfly. I only have a few of his plugins left active in my game so... -

Yeah, if you want to use these plugins you can't use a web deployment.
Even if SumRndmDde was active, it's not likely that a version would be released that could work with an HTML deployment. The Stat Distribution plugin, for example, saves/reads the data to/from a json file, courtesy of Node's filesystem module. Such a thing is not really possible on a web browser (imagine if a web browser could save files to your computer without your consent :o ).
For the Stat Distribution plugin to work on a web browser, it would require a different strategy (to save the stats within the normal save data instead of a separate file). -
Because he's not making plugins any longer and this one is quite popular, there's a chance that I might make my own version of it sometime. I'll add it to my, admittedly long, list of ideas to work on. When I made my Talents plugin, I designed it took look and function a lot like this one as the similarities were obvious and I knew that some devs would end up using both. Since his Stat Distribution isn't going to be updated or expanded any longer, it might be time for a newer version to be implemented. I don't know when that'll be, though, so don't wait on me.
