This is not compatible with YEP CTB and YEP HP VISUAL GAUGES and  those are plugins related to combat.

They mess with the Sprite Battler, wich this plugin uses used to display the sv sprites.

i know you preffer to support your scripts 1st, but  i'm not programmer and i'm not sure if this is inteded for reasons either


with YEP HP VISUAL GAUGES

This error appears when using YEP CTB, funny that it only happens if the menu status is active only

It's no use, Victor stated several times he will not go through all the work, to make a compatibility patch again.

Yeah, i won't make compatibility patches again. This don't means that I will not check compatibility issues. If I can improve the code to fix those without a patch, I will.


Sometimes incompatibilties are created by bad placement of some code or because you don't add failsafes for issues, that can be improved without messing with the plugin.


Wich by the way was the issue with the Visual HP, I just changed the order of two lines (that had no impact on my onw plugin) and it is now wotking.


On the Visual HP Gauges, add this after linde 413:


if (!$gameParty.inBattle()) return;




On the CTB plugin change the line 2425


from this:


if (scene && scene._helpWindow.visible) {


to this:

Making a compatibilty patch for yanfly plugins is a headache... He/she uses his own code to make his/her scripts and for some reason the patches stop working when they are updated.

This is very nice, thank you!


I don't suppose there is a way to separate the sprites positions on each of the menus? So that I can position the sprites in different places in each menu instead of it applying globally across the Skill, Status and Main menu?

As stated on the plugin help, displaying the sprites on anything beside those windows requires to insert the code manually on the scripts (the code used to display the sprite is provided on the plugin help).


Obviously, this requires some scripting knowledge, since editing the scripts without any knowledge will more likely break your project.

Is there a way to flip them?

No. I might add an option for that in the future.

That's weird, i can show the battlers but now i wanted to show the charset and it's not appearing.
When i turn off the menu plugins and keep yours the 3rd and 4th party members charset appears on the 1st and 2nd actor's face. When i remove them from the party i can't see the charset of anyone.

Can you post a screenshot of your setup?

By setup you mean my load order or how i've set the plugin options?


I'd like to say that if i turn Galv Bust Menu on the charset will not appear on the Menu screen, the battler does though.

Does the issue happens without other plugins?

If i disable all of them and keep yours i can see only the battlers.

Then send me a screenshot of the plugin parameters. I don't have any issue on my testings, so I need to see the setup that is causing that.

The setup is 'always', not 'aways'.


Other than that, using this setup didn't show any issue. Charsets and Battlers are showing properly, 

Funny thing is that i've wrote "aways" and works as if it was "always" to display the battler.


After playing around for a long time i got them together
