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 49~

I’d like to give a very big THANK YOU to Eivind Teig for making a video clip for updating plugins on MacOS. You’re awesome! ❤

There’s been a pretty major update to the Battle Engine Core today (and the battle systems for ATB and CTB).

Previously in the past, performing a Force Action would cancel out the Current Action and the Forced Action would take over. This was an effect of the Battle Engine Core. While this may seem like a bad idea, this was selected over what RPG Maker MV did by default. RPG Maker MV originally had it so that Common Events can only be ran at the end of an action. This would include Forced Actions as Forced Actions can only occur during events. The Battle Engine Core, however, changed it so that Common Events can be ran at any time during an action and not just the end of it. This decision was made knowing full well that Forced Actions would override the Current Action because I valued the pros and cons of allowing Common Events to be ran mid-action versus end-of-an-action-only and the pros weighed way more. The Forced Action overriding the Current Action was then documented within the Battle Engine Core.

Now, after revisiting the Forced Action event, I’ve came up with a queue system that would save the Current Action’s instance as an object. Whenever Forced Actions would occur, the Current Action instead, gets queued up minus whatever it’s already performed, and after the Forced Action is done, the Current Action would continue after. Though this hasn’t been tested extensively, it should theoretically work for the most part. So now, the Battle Engine Core contains the ability to perform Common Events mid-action in addition to allowing Forced Actions occur without sacrificing the remaining actions of the Current Action.

Actor Variables also got a small update to allow hiding and showing of certain variables midgame.
