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~

Plugin Updates 2017.02.06

A few plugins have been updated.

Instant Cast received a pre-emptive compatibility update for a plugin that is to come out in the near future. 😀

FPS Synch Option, however received an update to actually prevent it from being ran when a project’s base code is MV 1.0.0. This is because too many users ignore the warning found on the actual FPS Synch Option plugin page itself, and as a result, make “bug reports” for an issue that is solved by simply updating the project files.

Save Event Locations receives a bug fix where if an event whose location is to be saved starts with a direction other than down, the direction would be overwritten when loaded.

Plugin Updates as of Launch Date to 2017.02.07~
