For the advanced users out there with JavaScript experience, you can set certain switches and variables to return data about the game through pieces of code on the get go. This can be used for event page conditions, enemy AI conditions, troop page conditions, and more!
Introduction
For the advanced users out there with JavaScript experience, you can set certain switches and variables to return data about the game through pieces of code on the get go. This can be used for event page conditions, enemy AI conditions, troop page conditions, and more!
Instructions
To use this plugin, name the switches or variables that you want to utilize code effects with the following format:
Eval: code
This will make the switch or variable run the piece of code after the ‘Eval:’ marker. The code is used for a switch, it ought to return a ‘true’ or ‘false’ boolean. If the code is used for a variable, it ought to return a numeric value for comparison.
For example, a switch named ‘Eval: $gameActors.actor(1).isLearnedSkill(5)’, then it will return true if Actor 1 has skill 5 learned or not. This can be used for things like making a skill with ‘True Sight’ and making certain things appear visible on the map if the actor has that skill.
While variables can insert their own JavaScript code easily thanks to the help of the ‘Script’ option in the Control Variables event, you can save yourself the extra step by just naming a variable ‘Eval: $gameParty.gold()’. This will automatically make it calculate the amount of gold the party has and reference it with the variable.
!! WARNING !!
If you are using this as an event’s page condition, keep in mind that any changes made from events on the map will not reflect the changes made to reference those switches immediately. For that, you will have to refresh the map, which can be done using the plugin command below:
Plugin Commands
These plugin commands can be used to immediately refresh a map or troop troop event to ensure that switch/variable data gets noticed and triggered or updated upon your call.
Plugin Command:
RefreshMap
– This will refresh all of the map’s events. This will update any page conditions with Advanced Switches or Variables that may have changed values prior to using this plugin command. This can only be used outside of battle!
RefreshTroop
– This will refresh the current event interpreter in battle. This will update any page condition within the current troop that utilizes Advanced Switches or Variables that may have changed values prior to using this plugin command.
* NOTE: If you are using the Battle Engine Core, using this won’t be necessary for the majority of the time.
Examples
Here are some examples that you can use Advanced Switches and Variables for!

Switches
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Eval: $gameActors.actor(1).isLearnedSkill(5)
– This will make a check if Actor 1 (in the database) has learned skill 5 (in the database). This can be used for some skills like ‘True Sight’ to certain events appear differently on the map or certain events happen in battle (like seeing through an enemy’s disguise).
Eval: $gameActors.actor(3).isEquipped($dataWeapons[100])
– This will make a check to see if Actor 3 (in the database) has Weapon 100 (in the database) equipped. If it does, then the switch will return true. Otherwise, it will return false.
Eval: $gameActors.actor(4).isEquipped($dataArmors[200])
– This will make a check to see if Actor 4 (in the database) has Armor 200 (in the database) equipped. If it does, then the switch will return true. Otherwise, it will return false.
Eval: $gameVariables.value(2) < 3
– You know how map event page conditions can only make checks if a variable is only greater than or equal to a value? Well, now you can do the opposite and check if a variable is less than a certain value. The example used above will check if Variable 2 has a value less than 3 (but not equal to).
Eval: $gameSelfSwitches.value([10,20,’A’])
– This will allow an event to use another event’s self switch case to determine its condition. The example above checks if Map 10, Event 20’s ‘A’ self switch is turned on.

Variables
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Eval: $gameParty.leader().actorId()
– This will return the party leader’s actor ID. This can be useful for certain events that may have different reactions depending on who your party leader is at the time.
Eval: $gameParty.gold()
– This will return the party’s exact amount of gold. This can also be used in some event’s pages to make bags of gold appear in the player’s HQ to show just how rich the player is.
Eval: $gameParty.steps()
– This will return the amount of steps the player has walked. This can be used in ways where a trophy may appear in the player’s HQ depending on how many steps the player has walked.
Eval: $gameParty.aliveMembers()
– This will return the number of alive members in the current party. Best if used in battle when trying to make different things happen depending on the number of allies currently alive in battle.
Eval: $gameParty.deadMembers()
– This will return the opposite: the number of dead members in the current party. Also best used in battle when trying to make different things happen depending on the number of allies that are dead in battle.

YEP.162 – Advanced Switches and Variables Tutorial – RPG Maker MV
NOTE: This is a tutorial made for the Advanced Switches & Variables plugin.
Many of you have asked what are some more ways we can use this plugin. That’s a very good question because there’s a lot of things you can do with this plugin. However, instead of giving the answers to every single example, it may be better for me to give you the actual Eval codes themselves and the description so you can figure out the things you can do with it, instead. There will be a “possible use” example listed just to give you an idea how things may be used. Hopefully, upon reading the descriptions for each one, you may come up with some ideas or answers to what you are looking for!

Player comfort is a major thing to pay attention to when it comes to designing video games nowadays. RPG’s are no exception either. And inside of RPG’s, the player is usually within a battle a large portion of the time. And for this large portion of the time, players are often waiting for battle animations to finish playing.
This plugin adds in the ability for players to choose how fast they want battle animations to play from inside the options menu. From the default speed, which plays one animation frame per four real frames, to the fastest setting, which plays one animation frame per one real frame, the player now has the option to choose how quickly things progress in battle.

RPG Maker MV 1.6.0 Update is out but…
`RPG Maker MV 1.6.0 Update is out but currently, I recommend against updating if you use a lot of my plugins and/or have big projects being made. For the time being at least (until I get everything working with the new version, which may take some time). If you’ve already updated to 1.6.0, fear not, you can still revert to 1.5.1.
As far as I can tell, 1.6.0 changes a lot things, for better or for worse. File directory structures have changed and whatnot. Performance has been enhanced, but at the cost of quite a few plugins working.
Hold on tight.

The following are changes made in this update from the previous update (RPG Maker MV version 1.5.1).
rpg_core.js
- Utils.isOptionValid function update
- Graphics._cssFontLoading boolean update
- Graphics._updateRealScale function update to improve scaling
rpg_managers.js
- SceneManager.onKeyDown function updated for F12 button to not take browsers to a new URL window (assuming browser mode)
- BattleManager.updateEvent updated for its abort check from 2 to 1 of which…

rpg_objects.js

rpg_scenes.js

rpg_sprites.js
- Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback1Name and Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback2Name function updated to return an empty string if its battleback is an empty string.

Librarium Animated – Mechadragon Ladon
This time around we see the release of Mecha-Dragon Ladon, as suggested by Gabriele Marzagalli over at Patreon!
This giant snake-like clockwork dragon was once created by gods to guard the tree of the golden apples, but some of the apples’ seeds fell between his gears and sprouted. Now he is half robot and half plant, with bushes and vines growing out of his body, as well as some golden flowers that maybe one day will be golden apples. But Ladon won’t obey to his gods anymore, he will protect the tree from everyone no matter who it is. -Gabriele M.
A fun creature for sure, mixing machinery and earth together!

RPG Maker MV 1.5.2 “Update”
The RPG Maker MV 1.5.2 “update” is out. I say “update” because it’s mostly to reverse some of the negative changes from 1.6.0 (namely with the editor) but still has the bug fixes of 1.6.0. You can find out more about it in the link above.
From what I can tell, this is a safe update to change to. A desktop optimization update will be made in the future for those who use it. Hold on tight.
Here’s a changelog of all that’s happened. The changes will be a comparison difference between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 instead of 1.6.0 and 1.5.2.
rpg_core.js
- Graphics.initialize starts with _videoUnlocked with a false boolean.
- Graphics._setupEventHandlers added keydown and mousedown Event Listeners
- WebAudio._setupEventHandlers function updated to have keydown, mousedown, touchend listeners resume function.
rpg_managers.js
- BattleManager.updateEvent now returns checkAbort instead of checkAbort2
- BattleManager.checkAbort2 removed and became BattleManager.checkAbort
rpg_objects.js
- Game_Interpreter.prototype.command113 (break loop) event fixed
rpg_scenes.js
- No changes (good, since it doesn’t have the Scene_Item active window breaker)
rpg_sprites.js
- Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback1Name and Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback2Name functions updated to return no backdrop if an empty string is determined
rpg_windows.js
- No changes detected.
And that’s all, folks!

Does your game project have at least base code (rpg_x.js) 1.4.0 or above? And has RPG Maker MV updated past that, but you don’t feel like updating the base code manually, probably because you’ve made some edits to the code itself? Yet, you still want to take advantage of the changes from the version ups? This plugin will take care of that for you while keeping your base code intact, while ‘patching’ the changes made from higher version ups.
This plugin also adds in the updates and new functions from the versions leading up to 1.5.2 to ensure that your project has the most up to date functions even if it is running 1.4.0. This way, you do not have to tamper with the game project’s base code files yourself.
Note: you will still have to download the newest Pixi libraries and to get things working properly with this plugin. More will be explained in this plugin’s instructions section under the help file.
Introduction
This plugin requires the following:
– YEP_CoreEngine plugin installed
– Installing this plugin under YEP_CoreEngine
– RPG Maker MV version base code 1.4.0 or above
– Follow the instructions listed in the Help File’s “Instructions” section

Instructions
If you have an old project that needs updating, do the following:
1. Make a backup of your project.
2. Create a new project or go to the “NewData” folder in your RPG Maker MV
root folder (where RPG Maker MV is installed).
3. Copy the “libs” folder under “js” and replace the one in your old project.
4. Copy the new index.html file to your current project.
5. Update gamefont.css just in case.
6. Make sure you have the latest version of YEP_CoreEngine.js installed.
7. Install YEP_X_CoreUpdatesOpt.js (this plugin) under YEP_CoreEngine in the
game project’s Plugin Manager list.
8. Run your game!
Desktop Optimization Option
This plugin also includes Yanfly’s Desktop Optimization base code changes for those who wish to optimize their projects as primarily desktop-only games. The reason behind such an option is that since the 1.5.0 update, RPG Maker MV has added a lot of wonderful new features to the editor as a whole. However, the base code has been updated such a way that RPG Maker MV games favor mobile game optimization over desktop games. Because of this, RPG Maker MV games running off 1.5.0 and up have strange issues when images are loading unlike versions 1.4.0 and below.
This feature serves as a hybrid between the latest versions of RPG Maker MV by utilizing the 1.4.0 source code that was better suited for desktop optimization. This way, for developers who aim primarily at the development of games for desktop, your games will be running as they did with the 1.4.0 base code while being able to make full use of the most recent updated RPG Maker MV version’s features!
