Visual Equipment!

Rexal · 2015-11-12T15:17:13+0900

Visual Equipment v1.1bRexal Intro - Want your equipment to actually show up on your actors? Now you can! The Plugin(v1.1a) - Here Demo - Here Github Repository - Here Due to its complexities, I highly recommend downloading the demo. I even tried reducing the file size as much as possible Features - Able to have equipment be visual by applying "parts" to a sprite. - Can have multiple parts per equipment. - Can have actors have default parts. - Have quite a bit of control on how the parts are colored. - Can have equipment hide default parts - And more! Plugin Commands Spoiler UpdateActors - Forces the game to update the actors, for any reason that you need the game to do so. SetVEPose ActorId pose - Sets the actor with the ActorId specified to search for sprites with _pose at the end of them. For example you set pose to "dead", "body" becomes "body_dead". This effects characters on the map only. ClearVEPose ActorId - Restores the actor's pose to the default one. Parameters Spoiler Debug - Will write to the console if true. THIS SENDS A WHOLE LOT OF LOGS WHICH CAN LAG THE GAME, SO ONLY TURN THIS ON IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES One Sprite Per Layer - By default, you can have an infinite amount of parts per layer. However, making this parameter true will cause only one sprite to show per defined layer, which saves performance. This can be rather difficult to use however, so I recommend using this only if you really need it. Show Fadeout - If true, this will fade out the screen until the actors are done loading. It's up to you whether you want to use this or not. Note tags Spoiler VE Prefix: prefix This can be set to actors and equipment both. Basically, when you define a prefix, instead of searching for "hat" when you use VE Image, it'll search for "prefixHat". When used with equipment, prefixes are determined by the equipment's slot order, but they will always override the actor's settings. [VE Actor] This is, of course, Actor's notes only. Using this tag will make the actor's sprites(and any instance of them) invisible. This is so you can create an actor entirely from parts. Make sure that you have a blank sprite in parts/battlers named "blank", otherwise it'll soft-lock in battle for some reason. VE Image name,layer,hue,saturation,value,ignore prefix This can be used for Actors, Weapons, and Armor. If used for actors, they will always have those parts no matter what...unless you use the One Sprite Per Layer parameter, of course. First, ensure that you have a folder named parts, and inside that folder are three others named character,face, and battler. When you use this tag, the plugin will search the folder relevant to the situation for the sprite with the name you've specified, For example, if the actor's face pops up, it'll look in the "face" folder. The layer tells the plugin what order the part should be created in. It goes lowest to highest, and by default is 0. hue is the color of the part. saturation is how colorful the part is. 255 is completely colorless. value is how bright the part is. 0 is the normal value, -255 is black, and 255 is white. note: everything but name can be set to an eval formula. Keep in mind though that right now it only sets these values the moment the parts are created. VE Image Neutral: name,layer,hue,saturation,value Exactly the same as VE Image except that it always ignores prefixes. VE Hide: layer When set to equipment, it'll hide the actor's default parts on the layer specified. Think of it as One Sprite Per Layer lite version. VE Color: layer,hue,saturation,value This will color all parts in the specified layer unless said part already has color settings. Future Plans - - More notes for more control- More things that can take advantage of the notes (classes, states, events, etc.) - Somehow make this constantly update the parts without killing the frame rate. - A guide or something on how to use this thing. Terms of Use - Free for commercial and non-commercial use. Change Log Spoiler v1 - Initial Version 1.1a - - Added VE Prefix, which lets you have different images per VE Image. - Added VE Image Neutral, which ignores all prefix settings. - Added another variable to VE Image, which allows you to ignore all prefix settings. - Added Show Fadeout parameter, which will fade out the screen whenever the actors are updated. - Added VE Color, which allows you to change the colors settings of parts, as long as those parts don't have color settings themselves. - Added VE Hide, which is an equipment tag that lets you hide an actor's default parts. - Save file now properly updates with the character. - It no longer crashes when it can't find a part. It'll still send an error to the console, though. - IF YOU USE [VE ACTOR] YOU MUST NOW HAVE A BLANK SPRITE NAMED "BLANK" IN PARTS/BATTLERS OTHERWISE IT WILL SOFT-LOCK IN BATTLE. - General Improvements. - Added SetVEPose, which lets you set the pose for the sprites to use. - Added ClearVEPose, which restores the spri…

I have looked at SRD's Character Creator and I do think its a good plugin but Rexal's Visual Equipment fits my needs better for the game I am developing and has less fluff that I do not need. SRD's Character Creator I guess covers a more general audience so if it works for you by all means use it. I got Rexal's Visual Equipment plugin working in mine (RMMV 1.4) so it works for me and does what I need to do :)

It seems, that this Plugin doesn't get any support anymore. But maybe someone can help me out.

I try to use two interfering layers/equipment slots: "Hair" and "Helmets". There is "VE Hide" but it doesn't work the way I need it to work.

Rexal said:
VE Hide: layer

When set to equipment, it'll hide the actor's default parts on the layer
specified. Think of it as One Sprite Per Layer lite version.

It only removes the default parts on the layer (Actor Tag) but it should also hide any other parts on that layer. So that the helmet hides the hair.

Does anybody know what code I need to change, in order to make this work?

Thank you!

Someone really should fix or remake this plugin hard...to believe it’s literally the only visual equipment plugin available

@?????
What do you mean?
This plugin works for me, and I'm using MV v1.6.2. It works with Equip core and Item core. You just gotta make weapons/armors that change your appearance "Non Indepent Items".
So what things need to be updated/changed? Cuz unless you want it to work with Indepent Items(That's a compability patch), theres really no need to edit/alter this plugin outside of that.

I have a question, hoping someone can help me.
If you have equipment which isn't shown at the face graphics (for example, shoes), how can you tell the plugin it shouldn't look for this graphic in the face folder? I always get an error message cause it doesn't find the shoes graphics in the face folder.
I had a look at the demo, there is a shield which isn't shown at the face, but I can't find out how it's done.
Any ideas?

Well it's still broken. It doesn't show damage to actors and still there are some errors with Yanfly stuff like turn order.

Correction it doesn't show the damage number. It does show the hp getting lower and lower.
On Turn Order Window, you can use an icon for the Actor to represent them as they use the turn window.

only thing I cant figure out is how to use resize commands to work with this.. if I enlarge my actor, the armor equips are even bigger.. and if I shrink my actors the armor equips are extra smaller.. so strange. I look through the code but im not sure how to go about making this work right with resizing my characters. Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a way to show the weapon during motion standby? the plugin shows the weapon only when attacking
