Atelier Irina – Visual Novel Busts – RPG Maker MV

Made by our visual novel loving friend, Atelier Irina for RPG Maker MV!

You can buy it here

It’ll be on sale for the first week!

This plugin adds bust support to RPG Maker MV’s message system. You can control all bust functions from either the Show Text event command itself or through Script Calls. This plugin supports one bust on the Message Window and ten other busts on the screen behind it.

Busts can move, fade in and out, change opacity, slide in and out, mirror themselves, change scale, and have tones applied to them. While some of these options can be done through Show Picture event commands, having too many pictures on the screen can cause performance dips. By making busts separate sprites from pictures, there are less issues, too.

A new plugin maker has arrived!

A new plugin maker has arrived by the name of Irina! 😀 Here’s some of the stuff she’s made for free!

AutoMessageColors

Auto Message Colors

This plugin automatically causes the messages that can use text codes to automatically color keywords to depict importance so you don’t have to manually type in \c[3]Important\c[0] every time you want to draw attention to something. This helps those who want to make their keywords consistent throughout their game as well as makes it easier to simply offload text into RPG Maker MV without having to go through and highlight everything manually.

PerformanceUpgrade

Performance Upgrade

This is a “plugin” of mostly performance upgrades shifts away from the usage of bitmap functions to WebGL and PIXI for better performance. Results may vary from computer to computer as PIXI alternatives depend highly on the PC’s GPU. For those that this does affect, expect less lag spikes from many things like hue changes for enemies and animations, entering the main menu, or constant pixel grabs from the window skin.

AntiAudioDelay

Anti-Audio Delay

When playing audio in RPG Maker MV events, there’s a small delay when the audio loads to when it’s actually played. This can make some scenes lose impact where an emotional piece of music is supposed to be played, but it gets delayed instead and ruins the moment.

What this plugin does is go through the currently running event’s command list by a certain amount and loads ahead of time the audio files it finds. This way, the audio files are ready by the time the event runs, making it transition smoothly.

This plugin does not preload and store audio files forever because that’s a very quick way to get your game client to crash when it consumes more memory than the player’s computer can handle. Instead, it will save a designated amount of audio files in its cache to keep them ready in case they’re reused but will flush them out of memory when the limit has been reached. This is to ensure that memory doesn’t overflow and crash the game.

Autosave is a common feature found in standard RPG’s nowadays.

This plugin adds in an Autosave function to your game(s) and lets you control when to Autosave or set it to do it automatically under certain conditions.

Fallen Angel Olivia’s State Tooltip Display plugin!

StateTooltipsTitle

Our friend, Fallen Angel Olivia releases a new plugin, the State Tooltip Display! Games nowadays often show tooltips for status effects and whatnot. Now, your players don’t have to be in the dark about what your status effects do, especially since you might be the type of person who’d have hundreds of them in your game (you guys know who you are).

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that adds a tooltip window in battle (and other scenes) dedicated to showing information regarding states. If the player hovers the mouse over the state icons, the window will appear and display descriptions about each of the states affecting the battler.

This is a paid plugin with a launch sale lasting a week! You can grab it for $7.99 while it’s on sale!

Plugin Commands are one of the more useful additions to RPG Maker MV from its previous iterations. They offer the ability to launch custom plugin functions without the structural complexity of script calls. However, the Plugin Commands themselves aren’t too flexible as the values inserted into the command strings tend to be fixed. This plugin allows you to use variables and switches to make the Plugin Commands values more flexible.

In some RPG’s, using skills over and over will result in some form of skill mastery, effectively increasing the damage output, decreasing the cost of said skills, and/or lowering the cooldown duration of the skills, too. This plugin lets you accomplish such by adding in a Skill Mastery Level mechanic.

The Skill Mastery Level mechanic works like such: when an actor or enemy uses a skill in battle, they gain mastery EXP. Once the mastery EXP reaches a certain threshhold, that skill’s mastery level will increase, giving it the desired mastery effects, of which can be increased damage, decreased skill costs, or decreased cooldown duration. Each of these aspects can be adjusted globally or individually from the formula used for the EXP required per level up to the damage increase, cost alteration, or cooldown durations.

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that allows you to set equipment to be a part of various sets.

The art (sprite, face, battler) for an actor can also change based on the number of equipment sets worn.

This is a paid plugin that will be sold for $15. Since the plugin just launched, it will be 20% off for a week. Be sure to grab it!

In RPG Maker MV, events can only trigger when you are either standing next to them or on top of them. This plugin lets you bind their activation to different events onto regions, making them trigger if the player is standing on the designated region first before talking to them through the Action Button, Player Touch, Event Touch, Autorun, and/or Parallels giving them multitudes of ways to trigger events. All of these can be done by simply adding Comment Tags into an event’s page.

This is different from Region Events, which causes a Common Event to autorun once the player has stepped onto one of those regions. This plugin binds actual map events to regions instead.

Event Proximity Activate!!!

In RPG Maker MV, events can only activate when you are either standing next to them or on top of them. There is no activation proximity range that can be used to activate some events from afar. This plugin gives you multiple ways to activate certain events from a distance, through means of a square area around an event, a radius, row-centric, or column-centric. These new activation proximity ranges can be coupled with an event’s triggers: through the Action Button, Player Touch, Event Touch, Autorun, and Parallels giving multitudes of ways to activate events. And these can all be done by simply adding Comment Tags into an event page.

This plugin requires YEP_BattleAICore. Make sure this plugin is located under YEP_BattleAICore in the plugin list.

By default, if an actor has the auto battle trait, it will cycle through each one of its learned skills (whether or not it has access to the skill type doesn’t matter) and selects the hardest hitting skill of them all. This setup may work for some auto-battlers but not all of them. What this plugin does is it incorporates the A.I. Priority system from the YEP Library’s Battle A.I. Core for actor auto-battlers.

If you don’t have YEP_BattleAICore yet, please download it from here.

Plugin Optimization Updates for Passives

YEP.013

YEP.117 - Passive Aura Effects

Both Auto Passive States and Passive Aura Effects received optimization updates as of this update.

I’ve been receiving reports from a couple of game devs saying that if they have too many passive states on at a time (namely, 50+), the game gets lag spikes regularly. This happens especially if there are too many passive conditions present. It took quite a bit of work to get this matter replicated for me, but the problem should be fixed (or at least, reduced) for the time being.

Please go to each one of these plugins and download their new versions as well as updating them for your game(s). Your games should run faster now with less lag spikes caused from passives themselves!
