Plugin Updates 183~

A couple of plugins got updated tonight with new features. The Common Event Menu gets a new plugin command: DisableCommonEventMenuConfirm. It’s for those who wish to use the Common Event Menu as a list rather than a menu.

The Element Core gets some new notetags after numerous complaints. The <Element x Magnify: +y%> and <Element x Magnify: -y%> notetags. These notetags different from the Amplify counterparts in a way where the Amplify notetags will shift the element rate additively. These will alter the rate multiplicatively. If an enemy were to have -200% Fire rate, Fire Amplify +200% would bring that to 0% because it’s calculated additively. Fire Magnify +100%, however, would bring that to -400% because it’s calculated multiplicatively. Enjoy!

Plugin Updates 181~

Two plugins got updated tonight. The Item Synthesis plugin gets a fix to the way it calculates total recipes. Before, the calculation would only calculate one per object rather than the recipe total inside the object. The Save Event Locations plugin gets an update to save the direction an event is facing, too, even if it didn’t move. Previously, the Save Event Locations plugin would only save after an event has moved. However, if it were to change directions without moving, it wasn’t saved. This is now changed and updated to save.

Elemental control in RPG Maker MV is pretty lacking. The calculation of how multiple elements are handled aren’t very clear nor are they too intuitive when it comes to certain aspects. This plugin also gives way to skills and items having more than one element, battlers being able to absorb, reflect, amplify elemental damage, and more!

NOTE: If you are using the Element Reflect and/or Element Absorb plugins, remove them if you are planning on using this plugin. Don’t worry. This plugin uses the same exact notetag format as those two.

Quite a few plugin updates tonight. Some are fixes, others new feature additions. The Save Core gets a bug fix that caused the names of actors used in the save file to appear as their default name in the save menu even if in the save file, the name was changed. The Battle Engine Core gets an update for it. If another plugin enters a special menu while inside a battle and there aren’t any battlebacks, it will not take a snapshot of the current battlers. Animated Sideview Enemies gets a fix that caused icons to appear at the base of the enemies if users aren’t using Action Sequence Pack 2. Auto Passive States gets an update that allows it to check the passive conditions of various states without conflicting with other passives. The Event Mini Label gets two new parameters added to it: Added ‘Diagonal Range’ plugin parameter to allow you to decide if a player is considered to be within range counting diagonal tiles from the event or traditional distance and added ‘Side Facing’ plugin parameter to let you decide if a player is considered to be facing the event if the player is adjacent to the event.

Plugin Updates 179~

A couple of updates have been made tonight for two plugins. The Message Core gets a new plugin parameter: Maintain Font. This will allow you to use text codes \fn<x> and \fs[x] to permanently change the font of your messages until you use it again. \fr will reset them to the plugin’s default parameter settings. The Event Mini Label plugin gets two updates: One is a new comment tag that causes the Mini Label to only become visible if the player is facing the said event. This can be combined with the proximity comment tag to make it so that the mini label does not appear unless the player is both facing the event and within x tiles of the event. The other update to it is the shifted priority settings so that it will have better compatibility with non-Yanfly plugins that alter the graphical scene.

Plugin Updates 178~

A couple of plugin bug fixes! The Battle Engine Core, Battle Select Cursor, and Target Core all have updates that now prevent dead enemies from suddenly reappearing again (hopefully). Action Sequence Pack 2 gets an update to it. Battle Animations set to the “Feet” of a battler will now play at a floating and/or jumping battler’s sprite base. This is to prevent them from looking weird when playing a sweeping animation on a floating/jumping target and having the animation follow them as they fly up and down. Picture Common Events gets a slight update. When disabling Mouse Movement, it will also disable Mouse Canceling on the map to prevent accidental opening of the Main Menu.
