Documentation error:

On this page: http://yanfly.moe/2016/02/26/yep-74-target-core/ There is the following code sample:


It should be fixed to read:


For those of you who can't see a difference, I feel your pain. It took me about 35 minutes to track down why the sample code was throwing an "Unexpected token: ILLEGAL" error.

The single quotes in the first snippet are smart quotes, which are not recognized by javascript as valid quotes.

Given that many people use the example code as a "working base" upon which to incrementally modify without breaking anything, smart quotes frustrate users by making their code wrong from the get-go. It might not even be Yanfly's fault; it could be some sort of wordpress plugin that tries to "professionalize" the content by "fixing" dumb quotes. If this is the case, please turn it off. :(

Hi Yanfly,


I am experiencing a bug using your RegionEvents plugin. I read through the description, so I know the requirements for a valid bug report, but I want to ask your advice on this.


I cannot seem to recreate the problem with a new project, but I can consistently recreate it or avoid it by turning the RegionEvents plugin on/off in my own project. I believe it is a performance related issue, and therefor a fresh project runs 'too smooth' for this problem to occur. In fact it doesn't even occur 100% of the time in my (pretty plugin and graphics clogged) project, just once in a while (but enough to cause major gameplay problems).


How should I present this bug to you? I'm pretty positive it occurs with the RegionEvents plugin, but I am not sure what to do to present you with a valid bug report.

Hello, I have a question with a plugin of a while ago the Life Steal plugin, and I don't actually know if I should place it as a bug or simply as a mistake from my part, I'm trying to use this code 



<Custom HP Life Steal Rate>
if (target.isStateAffected(4))
rate = 1.5;
else
rate = 0.5;
</Custom HP Life Steal Rate>


So the skill sorta works, when the target is not affected by state 4 the user steals exactly half the damage, but when the enemy is affected by state 4 the user only steals the full damage, no more than that, I made sure to have the Enable overheal in the  plugin in true.


So... Am i doing something wrong?

Lunatic Mode support isn't helped here, I'm sorry.


From the front post, the top post of each thread, and the post linked to from Yanfly.moe: 

• I am not responsible for any Lunatic Mode that you, yourself, have made. If you have created your own Lunatic Mode code that isn't running, go visit the JavaScript Support Forum instead.
  

This will have to be something I'll need to look into.

To make a bug report, simply report it in this thread. Chances are, I will find out about the bug in this thread than by making one in the JS Support forum.


NOTE: Read this before submitting a bug report on this thread:

• I will only support my own plugins and code that I, myself have provided. If there are bugs with other people's plugins and/or bugs with the RPG Maker MV base code itself, I am not responsible for it. Report it in their own threads if it is a bug for their plugin or the official bug report forum if it is a bug with the RPG Maker MV base code.
  
• I am not responsible for bugs created by plugins created by other makers. There will be no compatibility patches made between my plugins and non-YEP plugins. This is not because I disrespect other plugin makers. If I did, I wouldn't go so far as to maximize compatibility with my plugins when possible. The reason behind this is because of my lack of time, and I'd like to put my undivided attention to errors caused by my own plugins.
  
• I am not responsible for any Lunatic Mode that you, yourself, have made. If you have created your own Lunatic Mode code that isn't running, go visit the JavaScript Support Forum instead.
  
• I am not obligated to explain to you how to code in JavaScript. There are plenty places online to learn it but this thread is not that place.
  
• I am not obligated to explain to you how to use all the various functions inside of my plugins. If a function added by my plugins is not listed in the Help File, it means I do not deem that function to be used for script calls. Therefore, if you choose a function outside of the ones listed in the help files to use in a script call, I am NOT responsible for it not working properly for you. No script call support will be provided for functions not listed within the help file.
  
• I am not going to "fix" my plugins to work with the Exclude unused files feature that comes with RPG Maker MV. The feature exists primarily for games that don't use plugins or games that use plugins that do not reference other game files. Read about it here in detail.
  

ALL bug reports MUST follow these guidelines and use this template:


Plugin Name: (What is the name of the plugin?)


Do you have all the latest updates for the plugins in question? (Click here for all of the latest updates and install them. If you do not have the latest updates, I will ask you to remake the bug report)


Plugin Parameter Changes: (Mention ALL of the changes you've made to the plugin's parameters. Otherwise, I will revert every single plugin's settings to the default setting)


Bug Explanation: (What is the bug in your own words? Keep this detailed. "It isn't working right" is not a valid bug report.)


Create a Sample Project Reproducing the bug: The sample project MUST follow all of these guidelines:

1. Create a new project. Do NOT just copy over your game project folders. This should be just a stock, empty, new RPG Maker MV project. If I do not see an empty project with Harold, Therese, Marsha, and Lucius, I will not look any further.
   
2. The project's file size must be 200 MB or LESS. Remove unnecessary audio and image files until you reach that size or use MV Stripper if you need help doing so.
   
3. Install -only- the affected plugins. Do NOT copy/paste them over from your project's Plugin Manager. If you're using non-YEP plugins, do NOT include them. That said, I apologize that both ATB and CTB are no longer supported by Yanfly, so if you're using them, please remove them from the project used for the bug report.
   
4. Do -NOT- rename the plugins' filenames. They will not work if you do so. MAKE SURE you DO NOT change the filename from the file downloaded from the website.
   
5. Make sure they're in the EXACT order listed on Yanfly.moe. The correct ordering of plugins is important. Some plugins will not work if they aren't in the right order.
   
6. Do -NOT- deploy the project through File > Deployment. Do -NOT- box the sample project. If I cannot open up the sample project when I get it, you will have to redo it all.
   

Error Report: (If you received an error message, press F8 when the message is received to open up the debug console, then copy/paste the entire error log and paste it here).


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug: (Write out IN DETAIL, a step-by-step guide on how to replicate the bug.)


Did you recreate the bug on the sample project? (If not, do so. MAKE SURE you are using notetags in the right place and haven't misspelled anything. DO NOT USE SAVES. I need to know exactly how to recreate the problem from start to finish. Simply giving me a save file tells me nothing.)


Upload the sample project and share the link (ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED):

1. Use WinZip or WinRAR to archive the project. Do -NOT- archive it multiple times.
   
2. Upload it on a website like Mediafire.com or Dropbox. Do -NOT- use a website that involves timers like 4shared, RapidShare, etc. If I am time-gated from downloading the project, I will ask you to reupload it somewhere else.
   
3. Post the link here. If you do not include a sample project that meets these guidelines, the bug report will be invalid. There are NO exceptions.
   

WHY I NEED A CLEAN SAMPLE PROJECT FOR BUG REPORTS:


If you're wondering why I make it an absolute requirement for sample projects containing to be made, it's because in the past, I've chased and hunted bugs that do not exist either because a user had a conflicting error with a non-Yanfly plugin, has not updated the plugins, using the plugin incorrectly, or think something is a bug when it really isn't. The amount of time I've wasted chasing these "bugs" is unfathomable as that time could have been spent developing new content. To mitigate this issue, I made it an absolute requirement for bugs to be reported in such a manner because of the following:

1. It makes the user go through all of the troubleshooting steps to reduce the amount of user errors. If the user identifies it as a user error, then the user would also have gained troubleshooting skills, which are essential for game development. If you cannot be bothered to learn how to troubleshoot, I'm afraid RPG Maker will be giving you a whole lot more stress later on.
   
2. Isolate the bugs caused by Yanfly plugins away from non-Yanfly plugins. As stated above, I do not provide support for non-Yanfly plugins due to my lack of time to create compatibility patches for non-Yanfly plugins. Having over 100+ plugins, making a compatibility patch for each one of those with every other plugin out there is absolute insanity.
   
3. It shows that the user is serious about getting the bug fixed as I am. Being able to put out time to isolate a problem so it can be fixed means the user is serious about getting their game made. If you are not serious about getting a bug fixed for your game, then I have no reason to be serious about getting it fixed for you. As a user's time is important to them, my time is also important to me, and this is our mutual agreement to get things done cooperatively.
   

Thank you for understanding.


BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING


1. Are all your plugins up to date? If they're not, download the updated versions from here: http://yanfly.moe/yep/changelog/


2. Did you rename any of their plugins from their default filenames? If you did, then the plugins won't work. Do NOT rename them.


3. Did you make sure all of the plugins are placed in order as http://yanfly.moe/yep/ inside of the Plugin Manager?


4. When you updated the plugin, did you /open up/ the plugin within the Plugin Manager? 


You are getting the error because you updated the plugin and did not go into the plugin itself like the instructions here in the first video: http://yanfly.moe/yep/changelog/


Why is this important? Because whenever new parameters are added to a plugin upon a new update, you have to enter the plugin in order for the Plugin Manager to add those new parameters into your game. Otherwise, you will get undefined errors and "random" crashes. Skipping that step is not optional and is very crucial to getting updated plugins to work.


5. If you are using non-Yanfly plugins, turn off ALL of the non-Yanfly plugins to see if there are any conflicts.


6. If you are testing your project in Battle Test and aren't seeing any changes made after updating your plugin, make sure you -save- your project. RPG Maker MV does not carry over changes to Battle Test until you save your project.


F.A.Q. ABOUT ATB AND CTB PLUGINS


The ATB and CTB plugins are custom battle systems that do NOT involve a turn-based system that you're used to with the default turn-based battle system (DTB). They function off of a tick-based system, which means it does not work off standard means. This also means you have to adjust either the plugin or your game to fit these means. Here are some frequently reported "issues" with the system. None of these are bugs so do not report them as bugs.

• If ATB bars are taking too long to fill up, then change your battlers' AGI values to higher or change the plugin parameters to fit your game.
  
• If ATB states are dropping in turns too quickly, this is because you didn't adjust the proper state turn settings within the Battle Engine Core to fit your game.
  
• For ATB, no, I will NOT make Active Mode. It's not because I can't (I've made it before in VX's Yanfly Engine Melody). It's because RPG Maker MV's code structure for the battle system makes it more likely to break everything if it does so. If this is something you absolutely need, the Plugin Request Forum is your place to visit, if DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB Core(which is at least compatible with my Battle Engine Core with the compatibility fix) can't meet your demands already.
  
• If there is "lag" between CTB turns, this isn't because of the plugin. This is because your low AGI values is making the game go through hundreds to thousands of CTB updates per tick. Once again, either you increase the AGI values or change the plugin parameters to fit your 
  
• In CTB, States "skipping" multiple turns when updating isn't a bug. It is because in between the previous battler next battler, there was a huge gap in time, enough to go through two state turn cycles. Adjust the state turn settings within the Battle Engine Core to fit your game.
  
• For CTB, no, I will NOT make multiple instances of turn icons appearing for multiple actors. If you want something like that made, you can request it in the Plugin Request Forum.
  

If all of these issues are beyond you, then I'm afraid the ATB and CTB plugins aren't for you. As a developer, it is your responsibility to understand the plugins and systems you are using. You are not doing your players any favor by using a system that you, yourself, do not fully comprehend. I will not educate anyone how ATB and CTB systems work. My plugins work based on the ATB and CTB systems of existing Final Fantasy games with slight tweaks to fit RPG Maker MV's system. Please study them on your own accord.

Hi guys,


I'm trying to use the ctb system with a 1 turn barrier spell at the moment. Sadly that spell makes no sense if the player got two turns but doesnt know about it, because every fighter is just shown once in turn order. If I remember right yanfly said once he had no time to change that prob, so I wanted to ask if there maybe was a addition from someone else?


Or maybe I just missed something and could change the visualization of the turn order. For example I could use something to see the next 8 turns no matter who is doing them, instead of just displaying each figters next turn.

By how it works the code is running a queue with a single instance of each batter in it, slotting them into where they are in the queue


In order to do what your wanting you would need to work out the queue order for eight turns rather than who goes next, basically re-code the whole thing, it is do able but a lot of time to do
