Plugin Updates 2017.03.26
Some plugins have been updated! Mostly for the newer plugins and some unforeseen bugs that have gotten through!
The Extended Message Pack gets a documentation update. There were some errors in the help file. They’re corrected now. 🙂
The Battle Engine Core gets a bug fixed where the enemy name windows disappear if you change scenes mid-way through battle and return to it.
The Battle System – STB plugin gets a bug fix that caused escaping to crash the game if not using STB.
Turn Order Display gets three fixes: Fixed some bugs that caused crashes when returning to the battle scene. Fixed a bug that altered the order flow during a Surprise Attack or a Preemptive Attack for battle advantage. Made turn order display not cover up certain windows.
Improved Battlebacks gets a bug fixed that wasn’t returning the proper sequence checks with action sequences.
The Area of Effect plugin receives a plugin update to provide checks against certain selection condition types used with YEP_X_SelectionControl. Unique conditions will disable AoE types to prevent clashing which include enemy/actor switching, certain rows, and toggling between single/multiple. There’s simply too many mechanic conflicts here that I’ll have to post pone looking at them for a later date.

YEP.130 – Battle System – Standard Turn Battle – RPG Maker MV
Yanfly Engine Plugins is a plugin library made for RPG Maker MV, a wonderful piece of software to help you make that role playing game of your dreams. You can find out more about RPG Maker MV here.

The Standard Turn Battle system functions off of the Default Turn Battle system’s structure. Action orders are determined by the battlers’ AGI values and they go from highest to lowest. However, actions are not selected at the start of the turn. Instead, the turn progresses and the actions are picked as each battler’s turn appears, then proceeds to be executed immediately.
Each battler is only allowed one action per battle turn, meaning a single battler cannot have twice the number of turns as another battler even if the battler’s AGI value is double that of the other. This is to prevent any balancing issues that come from tick-based battle systems as they tend to be far more difficult to balance compared to turn-based battle systems.
SUPPORT FOR STB HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BY YANFLY. Reasons are explained in this post. You can continue using it, but do not expect everything to work with it.

For Turn-Based Battle Systems like DTB (Default Turn Battle), letting the player see the turn order visually can add a whole lot more depth to the battle system. This plugin will add a display of icons showing the turn order of the player’s party and the enemy party within a corner of the screen (modifiable).
NOTE! This plugin does NOT work with tick-based Battle Systems like ATB or CTB! It is specifically made to work only with turn-based battle systems.

YEP.128 – Hit Damage Sounds – RPG Maker MV

Different types of armors make different sounds when they’re hit. When an actor is struck by an attack and takes damage, they will play a sound effect based off the armor they are wearing (ie. cloth versus metal). Enemies can also play different sound effects when they get hit, too (ie. slimes versus robots). Use this plugin to make your armors and enemies more lively when they react to damage.
This is a collaboration plugin by Chickie and Yanfly to ensure compatibility with the Yanfly Engine Plugins library. Continue reading

Overkill occurs when an actor defeats an enemy with excessive damage. All enemies have an Overkill damage requirement and if a battler lands a killing blow dealing damage equal to or greater than this number, an animation is played on the enemy before the enemy collapses. When an enemy is overkilled, that enemy will reward the player with more EXP, more gold, a higher drop rate, and if YEP_ExtraEnemyDrops is installed, more possibilities for extra items under the condition of being Overkilled.
This is a collaboration plugin by Tigress and Yanfly to ensure compatibility with the Yanfly Engine Plugins library. Continue reading

Tips & Tricks – Erratic Deflector – RPG Maker MV
Yanfly Engine Plugins is a plugin library made for RPG Maker MV, a wonderful piece of software to help you make that role playing game of your dreams. You can find out more about RPG Maker MV here.
The Erratic Deflector is an interesting effect. It deflects damage equal to 4x the user’s DEF/MDF, whichever is higher. The amount deflected will be split evenly across random allies. And the Deflector has a 20% chance of failure while active. It’s a rather random way of defense, but it can certainly keep things interesting! Here’s how we can make this effect in RPG Maker MV!
