[YEP] Yanfly Engine Plugins

@Hikitsune-Red I had to resist double posting for a third time for that top of the page :p  

 



You are on the wrong thread :)  (There isn't a Yanfly specific plugin support forum, normally you just use the regular plugin request or support forum)

But since I have to respond to tell you that, I might as well throw in a possible solution;

First, create for each of your actors an unarmed weapon. So, using your above example, the player replaces Sword 1 with Unarmed. Make sure that Unarmed is unique for each character, so it doesn't show extra stacks. If you want you can even give the unarmed specific stats, so that the player could essentially attempt to fight if it doesn't have the sword equipped, elsewise, just keep it as a weapon without benefits. If this is unsavory to you, there are plugins out there that create an invisible version of this that auto equips whenever an item is unequipped. 

If you want your players to have the option to unequip the sword to use the synthesis on there own, or they have the synthesis menu option, then you will be finished and can upgrade Sword 1 to Sword 2, then re-equip. 

If you are using the synthesis as an event (like a shrine or a shop or something) then you can get fancier, by having the event automatically unequip the Sword, and equip the Unarmed at the start of the synthesis event, then have it equip the new weapon (or the old if the player canceled) at the end of the event.

Like I said, there are probably better ways of doing this, but they would involve javascripting and plugins. If you are like me and only have basic coding knowledge, this should be the easiest solution.

That was... far more polite than I was expecting. In other modding communities I have been in, people with plugins as popular as yours do not treat contributors with such respect. I was worried I'd be scolded for failure to follow the bug reporting guidelines.

Should I find similar documentation errors in the future, I shall not hesitate to report them. Thanks not just for the wonderful plugins, but for your positive community involvement as well.

Thanks!!


I will do that!


And I'm sorry, the next time I'll post at the right thread! 

Plugin Name: YEP.40 – Event Mini Label v1.08


(Note: There seems to be some confusion on yanfly.moe about the latest version of this plugin. The file on yanfly.moe says it is v1.08, as does the DropBox file. However, the changelog says the latest version should be v1.09. However however, the new tags and commands from the changelog appear to be in the script I have that says it is v1.08, so I believe I have the latest version, whatever version number it is.)


Bug Explanation:


If labels are turned off when a map loads, subsequent ShowMiniLabel commands will not work right. Specifically, it will fail if labels are off at the conclusion of the first frame after map load. This happens regardless of whether the labels are hidden by default in the project, labels were hidden with HideMiniLabel prior to the map load, or an autorun event on the new map hid the labels with HideMiniLabel on the first frame. If even one frame passes with visible labels before the HideMiniLabel, everything is fine.


Furthermore, once in the bugged post-ShowMiniLabel state, certain actions will cause the labels to appear suddenly. I haven't made an exhaustive list, but teleporting within the same map, changing the active page on the event that should be labelled, and opening and closing the menu will all cause the labels to suddenly appear.


Error Report: N/A


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug:


There are several variations that will reproduce the bug, but the easiest one by far is:

1. Turn labels off by default in the plugin's properties.
   
2. Start the game. The first map load is your buggy map load.
   
3. Have an event try to use ShowMiniLabel.
   
4. You are now bugged!
   
5. To see the labels magically appear, open and close the menu.

Special Thanks: To FlyingPig, who actually found this. I just drew up the sample project & report.

Thanks, I'll get this fixed!

Hi, i think i find a bug...


Plugin Name: More Currencies


Bug Explanation: In a new project when i put a currencie in weapons or armors based in weapons or armors, the currencie is not show in the shop, just cost 0 gold, the plugin works fine in items, (i used in flour to get a cake by example) but when i put a weapon cost (or armor) to get another weapon, this just dont work...

Couple things about your error report


Firstly, as per Yanfly's Bug Report Instructions


This is required so that Yanfly can better see what is happening here, and to minimize the question of user-error.


Secondly, are your weapons Independent Items via the Item Core?


If so, using Weapons and Armor as costs will not work.

Ok, i will put a sample propject, but Hikitsune-Red (thanks for answer)


"Secondly, are your weapons Independent Items via the Item Core?


If so, using Weapons and Armor as costs will not work."


what is a independent item weapon or armor, can you give me an example?? maybe that is my problem

If you are using the Item Core and have not changed the Independent Item parameter, then yes, your weapons and armors are independent.


You can find more info on the Item Core's page.

This is the test Project: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjY0IWk6HxkOhdVBYg_gXKmrMT_GSg


"if you are using the Item Core and have not changed the Independent Item parameter, then yes, your weapons and armors are independent.


You can find more info on the Item Core's page."

I think i get it; i put the notetag in each weapon and armor (-_-) <Not Independent item> and apparently works fine... 
is fine do it that? or i'm do it in the hard way?

Please follow the notetag formats. If you misformat them, including the spaces, then they won't work.

Thanks for the answers, by the way, a last question, (I'm using the YEP: battle core and animated enemy) during a battle whith an enemy of big sprite, the game start to slow the speed (or frame rate) when i selec an enemy, the animations sometimes are very slow, so i can't back the acctions by the slowness, can someone tell me where i can post this? is here maybe? or this goes to another topic?

I've got an issue with (maybe?) buffs/states core, or possibly instant cast, or battle engine core...


Mainly that forcing actions is weird.


Plugin Name: YEP_BuffsStatesCore


Bug Explanation: When you force an action via a state (like in your jump tips and tricks video) the actor is treated as if he had taken two turns, but only for the purposes of buffs and states remaining turns. If you force an action via a battle event, this doesn't happen. This also doesn't happen if you force an action via battle event that forces another action via the state.


Error Report: N/A


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug: 

• 
  <Custom Action End Effect>
  if (!target.isDead() && this.isPhysical()) {
  BattleManager.queueForceAction(user, 12, -2);
  }
  </Custom Action End Effect>
  Make a state with a Custom Action End tag on it that forces an action, such as the above. It is important to note that this is the same sort of action being called as your jump tips and tricks video.
  
• Add this state to an actor
  
• create a skill in skill 12 that targets one enemy and does damage, and is not physical.
  
• when your actor performs any action, as long as the target doesn't die, they will trigger this extra skill
  
• create a battle troop that will inflict the actor with a debuff that lasts a set number of turns
  
• have the actor inflicted with the above state perform an action, and the second skill should trigger
  
• note that the remaining turns on the debuff will decrease by 2 instead of one, when this action finishes.
  
• make a different battle troop where you force an enemy to debuff your actors, on turn 0, and then force the actor to use the same skill you created before, but via battle event instead.
  
• note that when forced via battle event, the turn counter doesn't change at all.
  
• make a different troop where you inflict a debuff on the actor, then inflict him with the state, then force him to attack via battle event.
  
• The added effect skill should trigger off the forced attack, but the turn counter on the debuff will still remain the same.
  

Sample Project (REQUIRED): ForceActionIssues.zip


Edit: I can see reasons why this might be by design, with this particular force action script call (as there are a couple of other ways to call it, and it might not react the same way), but I noticed this particular problem because I have the skill that is being forced set to be an instant cast skill. I believe it wouldn't be too much to ask, to maybe patch the instant cast plugin to make it work on actions forced in this way, if they are also instant cast, as well. That probably wouldn't be nearly as time consuming as changing the queueForceAction function.

Hello Yanfly.
I have been using and enjoying your plugins!
Recently I updated your plugins and I noticed
"Battle Select Cursor" is no longer showing on top of "Animated Sideview Enemies"
Before I updated it was on top of the Animated SV enemies. It still works fine for
SV actors and Without Animated Sideview Enemies.


So I'm wondering if it is possible to make
"Battle Select Cursor" show on top of "Animated Sideview Enemies" somehow?


Thank you!

I've got another bug to report, also to do with forcing actions from states. I'm not sure which plugin the issue is with though, either BuffsStatesCore, or action sequences.


Plugin Name: YEP_BuffsStatesCore/ YEP_X_ActSeqPack1


Bug Explanation: If you have a state that forces an action using BattleManager.queueForceAction on turn end, using the <Custom Turn End Effect> tag, the forced action does not take place at the end of the afflicted battler's turn, but at the very beginning of the next battler's action.


Additionally, this can be worked around by using an <Action End Effect> tag instead of the turn end tag. But this will cause the same exact problem if you have the afflicted battler use an instant cast skill. Using an instant cast skill will cause the state to not force the action until the actor takes another action, which will cause the forced skill to happen before the action is taken.


Furthermore, if in either case, the battler targeted an enemy that died from the forced action, they will still attack the empty spot where the enemy stood, and replay the death sound of killing the enemy again.


Error Report: N/A


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug:

• create a skill that targets the user, and inflicts them with a state with 100% chance.
  
• 
  <Target Action>
  eval: user.turns = 0
  action effect: user
  </Target Action>
  
  
  Make sure this skill uses the above action sequence, the other action sections can be omitted for testing purposes. (this part makes it so that the force action effect in the state we're going to make will happen on the first turn of the afflicted battler)
  
• create a second skill that deals damage to all enemies
  
• 
  <stateDescription:Storm's a brewin'>
  <Custom Apply Effect>
  target.hurricaneDmg = 200 + (target.mat * 4)
  target.hurricaneTurns = Math.floor((Math.random() * 4) +3)
  console.log(target.hurricaneTurns)
  </Custom Apply Effect>
  <Custom Turn Start Effect>
  user.turns = 0
  </Custom Turn Start Effect>
  <Custom Turn End Effect>
  if (user.turns == 0) {
  BattleManager.queueForceAction(user, 12, -2);
  user.turns = 1
  user.hurricaneTurns = user.hurricaneTurns -1
  }
  if (user.hurricaneTurns == 0) {
  user.removeState(11)
  }
  </Custom Turn End Effect>
  
  
  Create a state with the above notetags on it. Make sure the forceaction is forcing the second skill you created above.
  
• 
  Give the first skill to harold.
  
• 
  Test play a battle and use the skill.
  
• 
  When harold's turn ends, nothing happens.
  
• 
  When Therese selects an action, the second skill goes off, which should've happened before her turn began.
  
• 
  after the second skill happens, Therese will perform her chosen action
  
• 
  If she chose to attack a target who was alive when she selected her action, but was dead after the second skill went off, she will continue to attack that target even though it is dead.
  
• 
  Change the state to use <Custom Action End Effect> instead of <Custom Turn End Effect>
  
• 
  Test again and it works perfectly. Harold's second skill goes off immediately after casting the first skill.
  
• 
  Make a third skill that has an <Instant Cast> tag on it
  
• 
  On harold's next turn following the use of the first skill, use an instant cast skill. Note that the second skill doesn't go off after his instant cast skill.
  
• 
  When harold selects another action after his instant cast, the same thing that happened to Therese in previous testing happens to him. The second skill goes off, followed by his chosen action. If he was attacking a target that died from the second skill going off, he will continue to swing at a blank space and "kill" it a second time.
  

Sample Project (REQUIRED): turnendactionendforceactionissue.zip

This is an intentional change I've made for those who use ATB or CTB. Turns update upon actions finishing, whether they're forced or normal. I'm not sure if you've been around, but the reason I made it that way was because users simply did not grasp the idea of how turns worked in tick-based battle systems. This included how states were handled. As such, turns would end based on the actions performed, forced or normal to avoid confusion.


Furthermore, as per the other bug report you've filed, I will have to refer to you to Note1:


NOTE: I'll only provide support for my own plugins and code that I, myself, have provided. This isn't because I disrespect other plugin makers or anything of the sort. If I did, I wouldn't go so far as to maximize compatibility with my plugins when possible. The reason behind is because of my lack of time, and I'd like to put my undivided attention to errors caused by my own plugins. That said, any modifications you've made to the plugins itself, any custom Lunatic Mode code you've made yourself that isn't provided by me, or problems with the source code will not be supported by me either.


But I will say this, the BattleManager.queueForceAction tool is just that, it's a queue. It does not immediately prompt an action to occur, especially in the case of Tick-Based battle systems due to the structure I had to make it in to fit in with MV. I understand this is an inconvenience, but I'll be discontinuing support for ATB and CTB. Mostly because the code structure made for it is not ideal for RPG Maker MV usage. My deepest apologies.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but, with your Icon generator...... It may or may not be taking 80-90% of my system resources (Version 1.02) and I was wondering if there are any optimizations you could make to it to help make it run better. I'm strapped for cash atm so getting a better PC is out of the question.


Main Specs that will contribute:


Dual Core Intel Processor.


4 GB Ram


3rd Gen. Intel HD Integrated Graphics


Any ideas of what can do to help make it run better?

Plugin Name: YEP_X_ClassBaseParam
Bug Explanation: Using the Lunatic Mode Notetag <Custom maxhp Formula> doesn't change anything.
Error Report: None
Exact Steps:
1. Start Game
2. Open the Main Menu
3. Go to Class
4. Choose any Actor
5. In the Class Change Core Plugin Screen, choose Class
6. Select the Warrior class
7. ATK is different from 26, but hp isn't different from 450


In Notetags of any given class (warrior, in the example):
<Custom maxhp Formula>
if (this.name() === 'Harold') {
value = 30 * level + 500;
} else {
value = 25 * level + 475;
}
</Custom maxhp Formula>
Neither Harold nor any other actor get any different hp than the standard ones


Sample Project: Bug Demo.zip


The sample project uses your class change core plugin to better represent the issue (the warrior class is used with given notetag); in addition, the warrior class also has a <Custom atk Formula> to demonstrate that other parameters ARE changed accordingly.


After some tests myself, I think line 152 of the YEP_X_ClassBaseParam.js ('obj.baseParamFormula[paramId] = '';') is responsible for this behavior as it overrides the baseParamFormula of paramId 0, which is hp.

Thanks! I'll get it fixed.

It operates on the same specs as running RPG Maker MV games. If you can't run those, you can't run the generator.
