Yanfly Engine Plugins

Stress Testing && Plugin Updates 50~

999events

And so, I’ve made a few plugin updates today that have been placed under a stress test. With 999 events on a map, the goal is to have 60 FPS or more. Although I’m aware this is hardware-dependant to some degree, it is code-dependent, too. Previously, two of the plugins (Event Mini Window and Stop Map Movement) in my test map of 999 events would drop the FPS down to 30 FPS, even on my computer. While it’s an extreme case that people should almost never use 999 events on a single map, the fact remains is that as long as 999 events can be put down, it will be put down at some point in the future, whether or not it should or shouldn’t be done. And so, with all the Yanfly Engine Plugins installed, doing some tests today brought up the performance from 30 FPS to 60 FPS~

Plugin Updates 47~

Today’s update is an update which leaves me to make an unfortunate decision to cut off the ‘Turn Structure’ parameter from both the ATB and CTB. For those wondering, the ‘Turn Structure’ parameter allowed you to change the ATB/CTB from a Tick-Based battle system to a Turn-Based battle system. While this does work for the most part, it’s not what an ATB/CTB battle system is supposed to do. And with that combination, I’d then have to factor in native turn-based, native and current tick-based, native-changed tick-based into turn-based, tick-based that was functioning with a turn-based state turn system, and turn-based that was functioning with a tick-based origin that uses turn-based state counters on a tick-based setting. This causes confusion for users who don’t really understand how a tick-based system works, and suddenly changing it over to a turn-based system while maintaining tick-based system traits can end up becoming a huge mess in understanding. So, for that reason alone, the ‘Turn Structure’ parameter is getting sacked for a more standard setting.

Plugin Updates 46~

Whew, going to push the updates early today. Apparently, the update for the Action Sequence Pack 3 last night broke the panning aspect of the battle camera with me attempting to use the updated changes to the function. So instead, I reverted it back to the old method but just gave it a different name as to not overwrite anything. Action Sequence Pack 3 should be working the same as before. 🙂

For the scripters out there who like to make changes or write plugins around my stuff, the Status Menu Core is now a Window_Selectable instead of a Window_Base. Have fun! 😀

When it becomes their turn, they input an action and execute it immediately, then proceed back in line. The CTB system focuses heavily on turn manipulation to change the strategic flow of battle.

If you want to grab some nice icons for CTB to use, I highly recommend getting them from this thread found on RPG Maker Web! 😀
