    Hi there, not a bug repot, I'm just posting to ask if there was a way to change the battle status size as shown in the attached screenshot. I can't seem to figure out how in the settings, and it's an issue as it overshadows some of my character portraits. It can be a change to any portion of the status (whether gauges, fonts or the whole thing).

    For reference: I am using the VisuStella Battlecore with ATB, and the Portrait battle setting with it.

    Please let me know if any further information needs to be provided, or this is even possible. Thanks in advance! :)

    I was going to suggest what Cyberhawk suggested, but otherwise, I'd say it's probably safest to just adjust the image itself. If there's transparent filler space on the image towards the top, it's probably pushing the image down.

    Otherwise, the best bet would be to enlarge it. If you need the image enlarged, I'd recommend using http://waifu2x.udp.jp/ for the best scaling.

    @Yanfly you already helped me! Thanks! Curious about the next plugins to be released, do you have a spoiler?

    Sadly, I cannot say which ones will be released since those are paid products and go against the forum rules. However, a list will be announced very soon on Yanfly.moe!

    @Yanfly, is the procedure for reporting a bug in your MV plugins up to date on your Web site? I followed those instructions, but have not seen anything indicating it was received, my inquiry to VisuStella has not been answered, and you have direct messaging disabled on here.

    You're welcome to initiate a message with me, or tell me how else you'd like me to proceed. I apologize that I couldn't think of a better way to ask you than by interrupting this thread.

    Sweet! Grabbing that Dragonbones update right now so I can test out the chant animation I made for Aekashics' slime.

    Is there a way to increase the "padding" between the text and the edge of the text box with Word Wrap? This issue comes to mind (only using VS plugins, all of this text is on one line). <br> will work, but it's tedious and I'm wondering if I missed something in the directions.

    How can I increase a character's special parameter per event? evasion, critical and others?

    I have a question related to darklugia1997's: how do I increase custom parameters via events? Like, how would I make an item that increases Constitution by 3 points? Or how would I check set a variable to be equal to the value of said Constitution (if CON would have 5 points, I'd like to set the appropiate variable to 5)?

    I am not certain whether or not there is an answer to this - or if anyone can help me, be it Team VisuStella or someone else, but is there any way to adjust the offset X and Y for the Status Menu when using the Portrait-style Menu Images??

    I have the Main Menu set up to use Portrait files; and they are offset so that the face actually appears inside the window. However, when I go to the Status screen - using the updated layout from Element/Status plugin - the portrait image display with the upper half of the body being cut off because the offset settings are not being applied to it (it needs to be lowered down the Y axis to have the face visible)...

    Another issue with these portraits, is in the Skill screen shows a giant bottom-half of the portrait in the upper right corner that I am not sure how it is being generated.

    Am I missing a setting somewhere in the Core Plugins and Elemental/Status plugins that let me adjust these portraits (or remove the ghost portrait from Skills screen) ???

    Thanks in advance!

    Hmm.. digging through the Core Engine help file, I don't see any way that you would be able to increase a custom Parameter through events - due to the fact that the custom parameters are not 'new' stats in the game, but rather derivatives of already existing stats.

    For example, Strength, by default, is a derivative using the formula (a.atk*0.75)+(a.def*0.75) - and not its own brand new stat that can be selected with traditional item usage and events. If you are trying to use a custom parameter as a brand new stat, I don't think the Core Engine plugin has any method of directly increasing those stats by themselves.

    I could be wrong though, but that is just what I can see after digging into the JS files.

    EDIT: A potential work around for at least the itemmight be to have the Item you want, increase the stats that make up the Custom Stat....

    For example, if you want an item that increases Constitution by 4 - using the base formula Constitution = Defense*0.75 and M.Defense*0.25; so you could have the Item increase Defense by 3 (4*0.75) and M.Defense by 1 ($*0.25) and it should give you the same result.

    However, this would cause the extra stats to affect your combat stats and if you aren't using them in that manner then it could cause problems.

    I think you need to downsize the portrait of the image.
    It's probably too big.

    Ah, yes that seems to be the case - looks like I'll need a set of portraits that are 'Menu' window sized in order for them to view properly. Thanks!

    I have a bug
    I'll save Yanfly the trouble and give the obligatory "This is not a bug report thread" response this time. However...at first glance it seems like a problem with the new Wave 8 plugins. (Oh no I mentioned the paid plugins! *gasp*) Make sure all your plugins are updated (including Battle Core, Event/Move Core, PartySys, etc.). If it still happens, create a blank project and test each plugin out one at a time (with NO others installed), and then in combinations of two to see if there are compatibility issues. You can report bugs at Yanfly's website, but you really should get an idea of exactly which one(s) are the problem before you report it so they don't have to cross-check between over 50 plugins. Yanfly's troubleshooting page gives more precise steps. Odds are the issues will be fixed in a weekly update soon; Wave 8's still Early Access.

    Hi Wilson,

    Thanks for the tip- I will check it following the steps you described.

    I'm kind of confused about this action sequence. I'm trying to have the character move toward the enemy, let's say 6 pixels away, do an attack, then move behind the enemy, 6 pixels away, do an attack, then move back to the front again and repeat. How exactly do I do this?

    That's the part where I'm trying to make the character move behind the enemy. For when the character is in front of the enemy, the melee distance is positive.

    In the message window, in the lower central part, I see a vertical line that is very annoying.
    How is it removed?

    Can you please allow to change custom accuracy formula from the Core plugin? The one you provide is good, but Im sure alot of people can use some customization, and the code is obfuscated, so I cant edit it in .js file itself :(

    In the default TPB system, we can switch characters if multiple characters’ turns are up by using the cancel button in the actor command window. But this function seems to be removed in the BattleCore, and there seems no way to select from multiple turn-up characters.

    I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but this function would be very useful in time-based battle system (especially for ATB system). For example, a healer (or a interrupt skill user) can reserves his action for the incoming enemy skill, while other characters keep doing their jobs. I am wondering if there is any way to add similar function?

    One possible solution might be adding a "pass" command in the actor command window that will select another turn-up character if available, although I don't really know how to do it...

    While reviewing an issue of some incopatibility between Visustella's Core plugin and ChangeEquipOnBattleMZ plugin, which is included with the purchase of RPG Maker MZ, I came across some weird issue and I don't know if it is because of Visustella design or part of their obscuing process. This is not a bug report in itself but it might be a reason that some other bugs happen for other plugins be it from Visustella or other plugin developers.

    It seems that Visustella's Core plugin has a function that reads a value from an array, that array is filled with the plugin parameters and some other information. The problem is that, in some instances, the return value from the call of that function will either return a primitive value (boolean, int, etc) or a function to call and that can be used latter from the program to be assigned to a variable or to call a function. The problem is that, if for some reason a primitive value, for example a boolean, is returned but the code assumes that the returned value is a function, then the "x is not a function" type error will be thrown by javascript.

    Since I don't know if this is a design choice from the Visustella team or is part of the obscure process they use to obscure the code, I would suggest that they review it to add checks to prevent this, since it might cause issues for other Visustella's plugins. I'm not a Javascript expert, and there might be a very good reason for this development choice, but seems cumbersome and difficult to maintain on the long run, but that is just my opinion on this. Hope it helps.

    We don't provide compatibility support for the plugins provided with the software. We only do inhouse support for VisuStella MZ only as per the terms:

    5. VisuStella is not responsible for problems found in your game due to unintended usage, incompatibility problems with plugins outside of the VisuStella MZ library, plugin versions that aren't up to date, nor responsible for the proper working of compatibility patches made by any third parties. VisuStella is not responsible for errors caused by any user-provided custom code used for custom control effects including advanced JavaScript notetags and/or plugin parameters that allow JavaScript code.

    I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
