I'll be anxiously waiting for that Menu Parameter Control plugin. There was one made by DreamX that was pretty good, but it's a tad buggy. Hope you finish it soon!

Hello! Was excited to use your Menu parameter control plugin, but I got this error:

Code:

ReferenceError: equipParams is not defined
    at Window_StatCompare.createWidths (ALOE_YEP_MenuParameterControl.js:252)
    at Window_StatCompare.setActor (YEP_EquipCore.js:813)

    at Function.SceneManager.updateMain (rpg_managers.js:1982)
    at Function.SceneManager.update (rpg_managers.js:1907)

I tried turning off all non-yanfly plugins, turning off all plugins except for Yanfly Equip and this plugin, and moving all non-yep plugins below the menu parameter control plugin, but it doesn't fix the issue. :\

Sorry about that!
Was a typo - I uploaded the fixed version.

Works great now! Btw, I was wondering if it's possible to have a special or ex parameter show up on the status and equip menu's as well? Is it possible, or too much work? Thank you regardless! :kaoluv:

This made my life a LOT easier, I had a ton of yanflys out of order apparently! All set now, thanks so so much!!

@SmashArtist @Neo Soul Gamer
I'll look into the data structures for those and see how easily it can be done. I'm re-using a lot of Yanfly functions as well, so I want to analyze what they created for those (not trying to overwrite a bunch of Yanfly stuff, just want to extend it). My initial idea would be to modify the plugin parameters to more complex structures, which might have an impact on backwards compatibility.

Update!

Tagging @Neo Soul Gamer @SmashArtist

I uploaded a new version of the Menu Parameter Control extension that allows you to use Ex-Params and Sp-Params in the Equip, Item, Class Change, and Shop Menus.
I decided not to add it to the Status Menu Core because Yanfly already added the Ex-Params and Sp-Params to the "attributes" option on that screen.

Sweet! I'll check it out tomorrow. :D

Also, solid addon for the Row formation! Thank you so much!

Hey thanks so much @Aloe Gunver! Though I am getting some issues. When going to the equip scene, if I click 'equip' I get 'undefined is not a function' as well as this in the console:

Code:

TypeError: undefined is not a function
    at Window_StatCompare.drawNewParam (ALOE_YEP_MenuParameterControl.js:482)
    at Window_StatCompare.drawItem (ALOE_YEP_MenuParameterControl.js:456)
    at Window_StatCompare.refresh (ALOE_YEP_MenuParameterControl.js:446)
    at Window_StatCompare.setTempActor (YEP_EquipCore.js:828)
    at Window_EquipSlot.Window_EquipItem.updateHelp (rpg_windows.js:2506)
    at Window_EquipSlot.updateHelp (YEP_EquipCore.js:700)
    at Window_EquipSlot.Window_Selectable.callUpdateHelp (rpg_windows.js:1233)
    at Window_EquipSlot.Window_Selectable.select (rpg_windows.js:797)
    at Window_EquipSlot.Window_Selectable.reselect (rpg_windows.js:805)
    at Window_EquipSlot.Window_Selectable.activate (rpg_windows.js:784)

And when in the shop menu all of the items which should give evasion rate bonuses show up as +0%, while those who shouldn't appear as bonuses appear as +100%. :\

Hopefully you can figure it out! :3

How exactly does the Plugin Order Checker work? I purposely put the Battle Engine Core above the Core, but nothing happens. Is there suppose to be a notification or something?
Aloe Guvner

#20 Jun 15, 2018, 07:41 PM Source

@SmashArtist Thanks for the report!
I found both bugs and believe both are fixed, the new version is uploaded. The first bug was because I implemented Ex-Params and Sp-Params into the Equip scene first, then I changed my strategy for the other scenes. I forgot to update the Equip scene to my new strategy.
The display bug was that I didn't quite understand how the Ex-Params were supposed to work o_O but I looked into it, and the display should be correct now.

Example with Evasion Rate

@Mihe Something must have gone wrong with the download, because the extension has a full help file that explains how it works and some parameters. I checked myself and it's working fine for me. Can you try to download it again?
I have a screenshot below that will show the correct way to download it from Github:
