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…

@Neutrality Are you using that edited version you linked to, or the actual MV plugin?
The original MV plugin from MOG's showcase project.

Okay. For future thought, it's probably more useful to link to that :wink:

I'll take a poke, but do you have a demo project with a battle set up that demonstrates the issue?

That's true. I wanted to get a link directly to that specific plugin instead of the whole package to save time originally, but obviously doesn't make sense to work with a modified version.

Regarding the Demo Project, went ahead and tried to set up quickly to send, but now I ran into another problem? The Instant Cast actually worked with the consecutive battle, and not only that but it didn't freeze after winning a battle as if the bug didn't exist. (This is without including your fix yet.)

I presumed this was because the bug occurred due to certain plugins causing it to not work correctly, so I tried porting over certain plugins from my original project to the demo and turning off plugins from the original, then testing out each to try to get an environment where I could easily replicate the issue-- but I'm not having much luck so far.

Once I figure this out I'll send it over.

Found the troublemaker, I think. It turns out that it was another unrelated plugin used in my project that was causing the mishap with Instant Cast, called LB_SummonActor.

When LB_SummonActor is disabled, Instant Cast works as normal. When it's enabled, it appears to be what's causing Instant Cast to not show the battle window afterward. Everything else is the same as my first request, the patch for Instant Cast works for normal battles but then no longer functions with the consecutive battles.

Here is the link to the demo.

@Neutrality For future reference (no worries, I didn't think to mention this beforehand) you don't want to include plugins that are paid or have terms to not redistribute in test projects. Just set them up in the plugin manager and let the other people drop in their copies of the files.

Open the Mog plugin, go to line 445, and add after it
Code:
this._instantCasting = false;

Ahh... Didn't think of that, I went ahead and disabled downloads of the project.

That fixed it, thank you!

With the announced forum closure, I've moved all my plugins (including the tweaks in this thread) into a Google Drive folder so anyone who cares can conveniently grab them all in one place.

The link may be shared, but please do not redistribute the plugins separately.

Thanks Turan, I'm going through the plugin section trying to preserve what I can. So this will come in handy
