Apply common events to specified regions! Simply by stepping on a tile marked by that region will trigger a specific common event!

WARNING: Keep in mind that if you apply this in areas with step encounters, it will not cause the encounter countdown value to go down. This is how RPG Maker MV handles it. The same way if you were to lay out your map with touch-events that trigger common events, the encounter countdown value would not go down either. To get around this, within the common event used, place a script call with $gamePlayer.updateEncounterCount().

ItemBook update to allow for compatibility with Independent Items

The Item Core plugin changes a lot of things about your project, from the item menu to independent items. But more importantly, this plugin builds a bridge for those who wish to do more with their items…

Hello, I am aware that Independent Items have a “maximum” amount. This “maximum” amount only serves to limit the player from buying too many items and filling up the inventory with junk. Gaining items through any other method, such as events and battle drops are still allowed.

Now, why is this? Because not every scenario can be envisioned by the developer. In most cases, the developer can be short sighted and may not be aware of the player’s inventory limits at the time. So, to mitigate this, I made it possible for the player to go above the limit but only through events and battle drops.

Why those two? Because of key items. Key items, if given by events and/or battle drops, are a necessity to progress in a game. Should the developer be unaware of the player’s inventory and provide a key item that cannot be inserted into the inventory, the player will be locked out of the game through no fault of their own. So to prioritize the player, this system is enabled.

Therefore, it is functioning as intended as a way to work as a fail safe for the sake of the player incase of any developer shortsight.
