[YEP] Yanfly Engine Plugins

Hey there Yanfly, I was wondering if you take in requests for your upcoming plugins.

and if you do, I have one that I would love to see made and even made a mock up picture to help explain, just in case!

I would love to see the "Alchemy" system from Secret of Evermore.

for everyone that hasn't played the game, basically the game did not have MP for magics, instead you used ingredients you found around the world to mix and match to use your magics.

here's the picture i made to kind of show what i'm talking about.

in this picture, the skill "Flame Slash" requires you to have 1 Flint and 2 Oil in your inventory to use it.

THIS THREAD WILL BE USED FOR UPDATES AND BUG REPORTS!This thread is NOT a request thread.

LimitedSkillUses:

I'm a bit confused... The lunatic mode suggests that it should be possible to manipulate the users limited uses but it actually applies only to targets.

* <Custom SType x Limited Uses> * value += user.level; * </Custom SType x Limited Uses> * The 'value' variable is the number of uses the user will gain for all * Limited Use skills of skill type x.
Is there no way to make an action use up limited uses of the users other actions, rather than just targets??

Specifically, I am trying to group skills so that they effectively share the same pool of uses (if one skill is used all grouped skills lose uses)

Thanks for your time!

edit:

I was trying to do this via Skill Types, as it will effect entire sets of skills. Rather than a few related ones.

I'm confused. What does and what doesn't work with the "if" statement in the action sequence pack? I made a "if user.isStateAffected(x)" and it worked perfectly", but when I made a "if user.mp > x" I keep getting Type Error.

That was a mistake of mine. I meant to type in "target" for the description there instead of the "user" which I was using to reference a custom type of calculation.

If you'd like for it to alter the limited costs of other skills the actor may have, you'd have to use this Lunatic mode line:

user.paySkillLimitedUseCost(skill_id, -value);

Have fun everybody!

Would calling:

user.alterLimitedUses($dataSkills[100],user);Use the the note tag of skill ID:100...

<SType x Limited Uses: +y>...to adjust the users limited uses by type?

There are a LOT of skills that would need to be adjusted using the method you pointed out. :)

edit:

Hmmm, just tried... It appears not... :D

I think the Yanfly's Skill Cost Items Plugin should do the trick perfectly.

It's strictly the skill ID. If you want to get everything of a particular skill type, you'd have to dive in further to do so:

var n = the skill type ID you want to use;var value = the amount you want to change it by;for (var i = 0; i < user.skills().length; ++i) { var skill = user.skills(); if (!skill) continue; if (skill.stypeId === n) { user.paySkillLimitedUseCost(skill.id, value); }}

Everything should be able to work with the if statement with the action sequence pack. Do post what error you're getting and your action sequence if you want me to be able to find out what's wrong with it.

This is what I added:

if user.mp > 50 MP -5%: user, show damage rate: 150%elseendAnd this is what I get:



I tried putting the user.mp > 50 between parenthesis, but that didn't work out either. I did manage to make a workaround to this trough the "eval: code" command, but I had to use a variable. Is this a bug in the plugin or am I typing something wrong? Because in the eval I typed the same thing and it worked.

I'm not sure if you knew already but the Core Plugin is having trouble scaling Battlebacks. See the attachment for proof.

Also if it would help, I have the game running at 1920x1080 (for me anyway, I have a plugin that sets the game resolution depending on the ratio of the users desktop resolution).

Did you update the Core Engine plugin? This issue should have been fixed a long time ago and I haven't received any reports about it for a long time either.

I have a slight issue with the sideview animated battlers script.



As shown in this screenie, the buff/state icons appear way above the enemy battlers. I presume this is because my battles have a lot of 'dead space' above them due to the tall 'cast' animation but is there a way to manually adjust where the buff/state icons appear?

I've tried using the <Sideview Height: x> tag with values from 2 to 5000, but as far as I can tell it does nothing.

This screenshot was taken with only these plugins active

-Core Engine v1.11

-Battle Engine Core v1.28c

-Animated Sideview Enemies v1.04

 

 

Secondly, just a small question, but is there any way using your plugins to change the 'SV motion' states use? The default choices of 'normal', 'Abnormal', 'sleep' and 'dead' is highly restrictive.

Hey Yanfly,

So I know that this would involve breaking down the code a bit, but I was wondering how to completely skip the Command Window in the ItemSynthesis scene. I want the selecting cursor to automatically go to the "Craft Item" portion, starting the scene with the player selecting from the list of Items available for synthesizing. I want this because I only plan on having the player craft Items, never weapons or armor, and it would be kindof odd to keep having a window say "Craft Item" and "Finish" if they are only ever going to craft Items.

Please either quickly come up with an alternate version I could use, or just tell me which things I can change myself to get what I am looking for (I determined how to remove the window itself, and get the scene to end while cancelling on the list window, but I cant figure out how to go directly to the Craft Item list window from startup..)

Thanks!

Is it possible to modify the GabWindow's plugin and add an option Map/Battle X location?

That you'll to do a custom modification for.

Ah, I just fixed the issue with the state icons last night. Give it an update and see if it fixes it. :)

If you'd like for it to alter the limited costs of other skills the actor may have, you'd have to use this Lunatic mode line:
 
user.paySkillLimitedUseCost(skill_id, -value);
