Turan's Terrific Tweaks

ATT_Turan · 2021-11-05T14:24:25+0900

With the closure of the forums imminent, I've created a repository of all my plugins. It includes a document with all the tweaks below: Download link This thread is a compilation of tweaks and snippets I've written as I work through my game or respond to requests on these forums. A couple of small things are by me to fulfill requests, but most of this is for the Yanfly Engine Plugins, both fixes and modifications. Due to Yanfly's terms of use, I can't post the full fixes in plugin format, so they will require some user installation. You'll want a text editor, such as Notepad++, that will show you line numbers (the common shortcut to go to a specific line is Ctrl+G). I use three common instructions here: Save a plugin indicates the following code can be copied into an empty text file, saved as a .js file in your plugins folder, and then added in your plugin manager. Add a line means you go to the specified line number, place your cursor at the end of that line, then press Enter and paste the code as a new line. Change a line to read means you go to the specified line number, highlight it, and replace the entirety of that line with the code I provided. Please let me know if you find any bugs while using these snippets, and if you have any reproducible bugs you'd like addressed, or ideas for features to add. Spoiler: MV Change Class Skill Learning There's an oversight in the default Change Class event command which prevents an actor from learning the skills of the new class unless Save Level is checked and the classes have different experience curves. The plugin is attached at the bottom of the post - have it above any other class-related plugins. Spoiler: Passable Events This small plugin was written by request - it will allow two events to move through each other if they both have the notetag. They will still interact normally with players, impassable tiles and other events, unless you turn Through ON as normal. Save a plugin with the following code: Code: // Allow two events to move through each other if they both have the notetag Game_Event.prototype.isCollidedWithEvents = function(x, y) { var events = $gameMap.eventsXyNt(x, y); return $dataMap.events[this._eventId].meta["passable"] && events.length>0 ? !events.some(event => $dataMap.events[event._eventId].meta["passable"]) : events.length>0; }; Spoiler: Phantasy Star Wall Slide This is legitimately a little plugin I wrote, attached at the bottom of this post. This will emulate the Phantasy Star movement system - if you press against a wall, and there's a valid space "stepping" around it, you'll automatically move that way. It's compatible with both MV and MZ. Spoiler: DreamX_ShowParam with Quasi Param Plus This plugin has an error with displaying custom parameters defined in Quasi's Param Plus. Delete lines 631-636 and replace them with: Code: for (qParamIndex = 0; qParamIndex < QuasiParams._custom.length; qParamIndex++) { if (QuasiParams._custom[qParamIndex].abr == param) break; } if (qParamIndex < QuasiParams._custom.length) paramValue = parseInt(QuasiParams.equipParamsPlus(item)[qParamIndex + 17]); Spoiler: Frogboy Magic The way this plugin handles the various forms of payment for skills is what I consider a bug: it ignores dual MP/TP costs, it subtracts costs (e.g. spell slots) once for every target hit by a skill, and it appears to double-charge MP on top of that per-target payment. This modification corrects all of those behaviors to pay the cost once when the skill is performed and to treat TP costs as expected. Go to line 1980. Select from 1980 through 1988 and delete it. Then go up to line 1883. Replace that whole function from 1883 through 1891 with: Code: Game_Actor.prototype.paySkillCost = function(skill) { var classMagic = FROG.Magic.getClassMagic(this, skill.stypeId); if (classMagic) { switch (classMagic.resource) { case "Spell Slots": FROG.Magic.gainSlotUsed(this, skill, 1); // Only remove the spell for Prepared casters, not Hybrid ones if (classMagic.casterType == "Prepared") { FROG.Magic.gainSpellPrepared(this, skill, -1); } break; case "Magic Points": this._mp -= this.skillMpCost(skill); break; case "Powers": FROG.Magic.gainPowerUsed(this, skill, 1); break; } FROG.Magic.useSpellComponents(this, skill); FROG.Magic.gainSpellXp(this, skill); } this._tp -= this.skillTpCost(skill); } Spoiler: SRD Picture Choices There's what I consider an oversight in this plugin - if the user has set their Window Color to be anything other than the default transparent, that color will bleed over the entire screen when using a picture choice. To correct, save a plugin with the following code: Code: Window_PictureChoiceList.prototype.updateTone = function() { this.setTone(0, 0, 0); }; Spoiler: Victor Engine Action Dodge This plugin appears to be broken out of the box. To make it work correctly, change line 439 to read: Code: var elmtnValue = item.damage.elementId<0 ? subject.attackElements() : [item.damage.elementId]; elmtnValue = elmtnVa…

By default, Custom Remove Effects do not trigger when the states are removed by death. If you would like them to, save a plugin with the following code and put it above all Yanfly plugins in your plugin manager.

Code:
Game_BattlerBase.prototype.clearStates = function() { for (let i=0; i<this._states.length; i++) { if (Imported.YEP_X_StateCategories && this.isCustomClearStates() && (($gameTemp._deathStateClear && $dataStates[this._states[i]].category.contains('BYPASS DEATH REMOVAL')) || ($gameTemp._recoverAllClear && $dataStates[this._states[i]].category.contains('BYPASS RECOVER ALL REMOVAL')))) continue; this.removeState(this._states[i]); } this._states = []; this._stateTurns = {}; };
Having a little trouble with this one. I made a fresh project to make sure it wasnt my plugins and checked all the versions to make sure i dont have some old copies somehow but it still doesnt work. Console says that this._states.length on line 2 is undefined even though its correct and works without the plugin? This happens at the start of any play test

@Robro33 Stick it inside a conditional to make sure the property has been initialized.

Code:

Game_BattlerBase.prototype.clearStates = function() 
{
  if (this._states)
  {
    for (let i=0; i<this._states.length; i++)
    {
        if (Imported.YEP_X_StateCategories && this.isCustomClearStates() && (($gameTemp._deathStateClear && $dataStates[this._states[i]].category.contains('BYPASS DEATH REMOVAL')) || ($gameTemp._recoverAllClear && $dataStates[this._states[i]].category.contains('BYPASS RECOVER ALL REMOVAL'))))
            continue;
 
        this.removeState(this._states[i]);
    }
  }
    this._states = [];
    this._stateTurns = {};
};

@Robro33 , also make sure that TUR__YEPDeathRemoval is below YEP_BuffsStateCore and not above
to read the values corerctly from YEP plugin.

was just following the instructions, but when I had the error the first time, shifting around the plugin's placement was one of the first things i did. no position prevented the crash

I don't get what i'm doing wrong, i've added the DeathRemoval thing for the yanfly buffstatescore plugin, however even when dying it doesn't work, am i doing something wrong?
<Custom Apply Effect> user._holyguidance = user.def - user.mdf; user.addMdf(user._holyguidance); </Custom Apply Effect> <Custom Remove Effect> user.minusMdf(user._holyguidance); user._holyguidance = undefined; </Custom Remove Effect>

@Shamil0 I don't know. I used a basic setup and it works for me.

I put the notetag:
Code:
<Custom Remove Effect> console.log("Executed!"); </Custom Remove Effect>
and it produced the expected result when the actor died in battle:

Try pressing F8, go to the Console tab, see if there are any errors in there indicating the plugin code isn't loading or your code isn't running.

You're using script calls from Yanfly's Base Parameter Control, which I don't see in your plugin manager above.

Additionally, if it is there but off the screen, that's in the wrong place. It should be immediately beneath the Core Engine.

Double check the order of plugins on the Yanfly Engine Web page, make sure yours are exactly in that order. Not following it can cause random bugs.

@Shamil0 Are you using an outdated version of MV? That syntax is in ES6 which MV supports as of...I think, like, version 1.4.

If you open your rpg_core.js file, what does it say at the top?

Its 1.6.2, but also weirdly I reinstalled the rpgmaker and its working now... no clue how but yeah

Found a thing

The Buffs and States fix to allow death to trigger remove effects seems to also remove states with <Category: Bypass Death Removal> when a battler also has a state without that tag on them. it seems to be tied to the battler refreshing. i had noticed that at some point, clearStates() was being ran twice on death with the second being while $gameTemp._deathStateClear was false in some cases, resulting in states with the bypass death tag to be cleared anyways. Changing the removeState within the plugin for eraseState and not triggering the refresh seems to fix it

-blank project-

plugins

test state

method of killing

turn 1 - Apply test states to actors 1 and 3

turn 2 - actor 1 guards, actor 2 uses an item to kill actor 1, actor 3 uses item on self

@Robro33 The problem is that eraseStates() doesn't call the remove eval notetags, so that fix defies the point of the snippet in the first place.

Do you have a test project you set this up with I can mess with?
