Different types of armors make different sounds when they’re hit. When an actor is struck by an attack and takes damage, they will play a sound effect based off the armor they are wearing (ie. cloth versus metal). Enemies can also play different sound effects when they get hit, too (ie. slimes versus robots). Use this plugin to make your armors and enemies more lively when they react to damage.

This is a collaboration plugin by Chickie and Yanfly to ensure compatibility with the Yanfly Engine Plugins library.  Continue reading →

Overkill occurs when an actor defeats an enemy with excessive damage. All enemies have an Overkill damage requirement and if a battler lands a killing blow dealing damage equal to or greater than this number, an animation is played on the enemy before the enemy collapses. When an enemy is overkilled, that enemy will reward the player with more EXP, more gold, a higher drop rate, and if YEP_ExtraEnemyDrops is installed, more possibilities for extra items under the condition of being Overkilled.

Plugin Updates 2017.02.12

Four plugins have been updated this weekend!

The two of them have documentation updates. They are the Self Switches & Variables plugin as well as the Skill Core plugin where some features were listed incorrectly. The help file is now updated to display the proper information.

The Battle AI Core gets an update which added ‘Dynamic Turn Count’ plugin parameter for those who wish to push the turn count further by 1 turn in order to adjust for Dynamic Actions. Code provided by Talonos.

The Buffs & States Core gets an update where Custom Turn End effects will no longer occur outside of battle. This was an unintended effect of the code that I didn’t realize was happening.

Plugin Updates as of Launch Date to 2017.02.12~
