Very nice work. People have been asking for something like this, so it's really nice to see this so soon after release. I'll try it out later when I make some custom weapon sheets for my current project.

Thanks a bunch and welcome to the community!

Finally! Thank you so much Rexal, I've been asking for this since RMMV was released xD

This is some solid work, and has all kinds of possibilities. Thanks for crafting this! :)

hi and welcome rexal. this sounds just like what i needed. one question about the motions: for example "swing" means, that a single sprite is rotated like the icons back in ace's sideview battle systems? or is it the 3 frames default animation?

also about the images: do they have a fixed sizes/frame, like for the default ones it is 96x64px? or can i just freak out and make a gigantic sword sized 192x192px?

Can I make a totally new image file and at different sizes for the weapons or am I stuck to using the weapons1, 2 and 3?

This looks Amazing Great Work :D

Does this mean that we can have more than the 6 custom weapons we are given by default?

Still learning, but what does changing the weapons index do exactly?

when you look at the "weapons1" file in your projects img/system folder you see there are multiple sorts of weapons. index 1 would be the uppermost - dagger, index 2 - sword, index 4 - axe, and so on..

that is, if index is the same as id.

btw i use some yanfly battle plugins and put above or under those plugins, yours doesn't seem to have any effect : /

edit: i tested all of my other plugins. this plugin does not have any effect when yanfly item core is enabled.

Thank you. It's working. Wonder if this will support larger weapon sizes? Realllly want that.

the weapons can be as large as the weapon template can accommodate. the template can be found in the pinned topic in the resources forum.

"swing" is the name of the animation the battler plays. So if you used "victory" it would play the victory animation when you attack.

You can set the frame to however many you want.

Right now you can only use the default 96x64, but since there's quite a few requests for it I'll go ahead and add a note tag to let you choose any size.

And as for Yanfly's stuff...hmm...I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Yep! You can use whatever image is in the system folder.

It does indeed :D

Awesome work. Could you add compatibility with SVActorPosition or could you let the X and Y of the weapon be adjusted? I was using that plugin to align my weapon to where I wanted it in regards to where my character is because hes larger than default. However when I use your plugin the weapon goes back to the normal position. Other weapons not modified by your plugin are moved correctly

Thanks for this :D being able to use more weapons has completely saved my game and I'm glad I,m not making tons of weapons for nothing. You've done real good with this and I really appreciate it :D

haha when that happens, i can see the resources forums flooding with custom weapons (at least in my thread that is ;) )

and well.. "item core" is not that urgent for me now.. and as said all the other yanfly plugins work well with it

#19 Oct 27, 2015, 02:52 AM Source

Hmmm wonder how a 3 frame attack animation is going to work with a 10 frame weapon animation? Might need to wait until something is made for the SV animations to extend them as well?

#20 Oct 27, 2015, 03:27 AM Source

Hmm, I can't quite get it to work. I copy-pasted your example for a test, but nothing happened after that and this is with all the other Yanfly plugins turned off. Is there something I'm missing there?

EDIT: I see you're supposed to save and reload when you turn off Yanfly scripts it appears. Doing that did eventually work, but for some reason whenever Lucius attacked barehanded I got an "undefined" error.

EDIT 2: If you have your script above Yanfly's own it works perfectly! But there is one rather large bug... if you equip barehanded the system will crash with an "Undefined category" there seems to be no exception in your script for barehanded.
