While in RPG Maker MV, there’s the ability to make events hidden and reveal themselves to make it look like they’ve spawned out of nothing. However, there isn’t an innate function to actually spawn an event from nothing. This plugin will provide users the ability to actually spawn an event that is premade and ready from another map(s).

A spawned event will contain all the data from its original source, from the event’s page conditions to the event commands to the graphical settings. And should the original source be updated in the future, the spawned event will update as well. Spawned events can also be preserved and remain on the map if the player reenters the map or reloads a save.

Introduction

WARNING: This plugin is best used with RPG Maker MV 1.5.0 or above! This is because the MV 1.5.0 editor allows for this plugin to be made in an orderly and efficient manner. Please make sure your RPG Maker MV software is up to date before using this plugin to make the most out of it.

While in RPG Maker MV, there’s the ability to make events hidden and reveal themselves to make it look like they’ve spawned out of nothing. However, there isn’t an innate function to actually spawn an event from nothing. This plugin will provide users the ability to actually spawn an event that is premade and ready from another map(s).

A spawned event will contain all the data from its original source, from the event’s page conditions to the event commands to the graphical settings. And should the original source be updated in the future, the spawned event will update as well. Spawned events can also be preserved and remain on the map if the player reenters the map or reloads a save.

More information will be explained in the Instructions section of this plugin’s help file.

Instructions

Use the plugin parameter ‘Template Maps’ to select which maps your game will preload maps from. These maps will contain the events that you want other events to spawn as. Any kind of event can be used as a spawn template, from trigger events to auto run events to parallel events.

If you are using RPG Maker MV 1.5.0+ and wish to make use of template names, add them through the ‘Template Names’ plugin parameter. The data from the Template Names parameters can be changed and all events in-game that use script calls with the respective Template Name will be updated accordingly.

——————–
Spawning Limitations
——————–

However, there are some rules that must be applied before an event can be spawned at a desired location. They are as follows:

1. The spawn location must not be occupied by another event, even if the event is of a different priority level. This is to prevent overstacking and causing problems for the RPG Maker MV engine.

2. The spawn location cannot have a vehicle present. This is to prevent priority conflicts with the event when triggered.

3. The spawn location must exist on the map. It cannot have coordinates that are outside of the map’s boundaries.

As long as these rules are followed, the event will spawn properly provided you follow the format used for the Script Calls listed in the section below.

Script Calls

To spawn events into your maps, use the following script calls:

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Spawn Event – Script Calls
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

This will spawn a new event using the information from ‘mapId’ ‘eventId’ as its base. The new event’s ID will start at 1001 (or whatever you’ve set the plugin parameter ‘ID Starting Range’ to) and onward.

– – –

Yanfly.SpawnEventAt(mapId, eventId, x, y, preserved)
– This will spawn the desired event into the specific coordinates.
– Replace ‘mapId’ with the ID of the map with the event to morph into.
– Replace ‘eventId’ with the ID of the event to morph the target into.
– Replace ‘x’ with the X position on the map to spawn the event at.
– Replace ‘y’ with the Y position on the map to spawn the event at.
– The X and Y positions MUST NOT have an event present at that location.
– Replace ‘preserved’ with ‘true’ or ‘false’ to preserve the spawn.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventAt(1, 5, 30, 40, true)
– Map 1’s Event 5 will be spawned at X, Y coordinates: 30, 40.
– This event will be preserved.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventAt(2, 10, 50, 60, false)
– Map 2’s Event 10 will be spawned at X, Y coordinates: 50, 60.
– This event will NOT be preserved.

– – –

Yanfly.SpawnEventTemplateAt(template, x, y, preserved)
– This will spawn the desired event by template name at the coordinates.
– Replace ‘template’ with a name from the ‘Template Names’ plugin param. This must be in ‘string’ form (surround the name with quotes).
– Replace ‘x’ with the X position on the map to spawn the event at.
– Replace ‘y’ with the Y position on the map to spawn the event at.
– The X and Y positions MUST NOT have an event present at that location.
– Replace ‘preserved’ with ‘true’ or ‘false’ to preserve the spawn.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventTemplateAt(‘StrawberryPlant’, 30, 40, true)
– The ‘StrawberryPlant’ template from the plugin parameters will be spawned at X, Y coordinates: 30, 40.
– This event will be preserved.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventTemplateAt(‘MineralVein’, 50, 60, false)
– The ‘MineralVein’ template from the plugin parameters will be spawned at X, Y coordinates: 50, 60.
– This event will NOT be preserved.

– – –

Yanfly.SpawnEventInRegion(mapId, eventId, region, preserved)
– This will spawn the desired event at a random place within a region(s).
– Replace ‘mapId’ with the ID of the map with the event to morph into.
– Replace ‘eventId’ with the ID of the event to morph the target into.
– Replace ‘region’ with the ID of the region to spawn the event into. If you want to use multiple regions, place them in an array.
– Replace ‘preserved’ with ‘true’ or ‘false’ to preserve the spawn.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventInRegion(1, 5, 20, true)
– Map 1’s Event 5 will be spawned at a random point in region 20.
– This event will be preserved.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventInRegion(2, 10, [20, 25], true)
– Map 2’s Event 10 will be spawned at a random point in regions 20 or 25.
– This event will NOT be preserved.

– – –

Yanfly.SpawnEventTemplateInRegion(template, region, preserved)
– This will spawn the desired event at a random place within a region(s).
– Replace ‘template’ with a name from the ‘Template Names’ plugin param. This must be in ‘string’ form (surround the name with quotes).
– Replace ‘region’ with the ID of the region to spawn the event into. If you want to use multiple regions, place them in an array.
– Replace ‘preserved’ with ‘true’ or ‘false’ to preserve the spawn.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventTemplateInRegion(‘StrawberryPlant’, 20, true)
– The ‘StrawberryPlant’ template from the plugin parameters will be spawned at a random point in region 20.
– This event will be preserved.

Example: Yanfly.SpawnEventTemplateInRegion(‘MineralVein’, [20, 25], true)
– The ‘MineralVein’ template from the plugin parameters will be spawned at a random point in regions 20 or 25.
– This event will NOT be preserved.

– – –

* Note: If a spawned event is preserved, it will remain on that map when the map is reloaded from a save file or revisited from a different map. If an event is set up to not be preserved, it will automatically despawn itself upon leaving the map.

Octopath Traveler is praised often for its battle system. Everything about it just seems to fit together just right. Yet, you would be surprised to hear that it actually does nothing new, but instead, aims to make the whole battle experience more cohesive where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Our friend, Fallen Angel Olivia, has created another plugin again called Meta Controls!

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that lets you control switches and variables that last across a meta level on a game. A switch or variable designated to function as a meta switch or meta variable can persist across different save files. To assist in controlling meta properties of the game some more, the developer can assign common events to run at the start of a new game or when a game is loaded. Saving the game can also register map data to variables.

You can download it from itch.io!

Our friend, Ækashics, has revamped the old KemonoQ for some more awesome! Give the new demo a try!

KemonoQ is a dungeon crawler focused around equippable passive and powerful active effects. This is KemonoQ’s revamped demo, developed based on feedback we got back during its initial concept demo release. Since then a lot has changed, featuring rebalanced mechanics, improvements to the battle flow, new graphics and all around new content!

Our friend, Fallen Angel Olivia, brings us yet another plugin! Item Concoctions! This plugin basically gives you the “Mix” ability from Final Fantasy games!

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that adds a “Concoct” command to any actor you want in battle. Concoct allows the actor to combine together two items to make a new item effect. Concoctions will be composed of a primary component, secondary component, and a resulting effect.

There is also an Item Concoction Preview Window that comes with this plugin. It can be enabled or disabled (up to you). It will display the resulting effect of the two mixed items together if the concoction combination has been made before. If it hasn’t, the effects will be hidden.

You can get it here or visit her itch.io page for other plugins made by her!

It’s been brought to my attention multiple times across the past few months that there’s been bugs with STB and forced actions. This has been finally fixed as of today’s update. Or rather, it’s been fixed for about a week ago, but has been in testing throughout the week before I decided to make it official. This is mostly thanks to Olivia asking me various questions in the making of her OTB battle system, which made me go back to reference STB on where to go for her as the two systems are very similar. Not only are forced actions fixed but so are instant casts for enemies, too. This, too, is also thanks to my interactions with Olivia once again.

You can get the updated and fixed version of the STB plugin here.

That said, I can imagine many of you have questions in regards to this update. Three of which, I can picture already so I’ll go ahead and answer them.

1. Does this mean you will continue to support STB once again?

I won’t say it will leave the discontinued status, but rather, it will be subject to bug fixes when the opportunity arises. After all, the three points made in this post remain true even in the current situation. The recent update to STB is what I consider to be an exception to the rule, if only to tie up loose ends.

2. Will you add in Action Times+ to STB?

Short answer: no. Long answer: It’s not something that fits in the scheme of STB due to the constant reliance and cyclical calculation of the AGI stat to determine the turn order (as that is an integral part of what makes STB work). The other reason is that the update to STB is mostly to tie up loose ends, as answered by the previous question, not an update to continue support and eventually add more features to it. However, if Action Times+ is a big part of your battle system and you would like for it to play a big role, STB would need to drop off the AGI stat’s influence on the turn order for it to be possible. When this happens, it actually becomes Olivia’s OTB battle system. I recommend you give that a try.

3. What is the difference between CTB, STB, and OTB?

This is a question I’ve seen asked often. And as it’s asked often, it’s better that it gets answered properly, as it is the responsibility of the game’s developer to understand each of the facets that govern his/her game’s mechanics.

CTB: Charge Turn Battle is a tick-based battle system. This means there are no such thing as a “battle turn” count. While “battle turns” are added in artificially through the plugin to just tie in the works of the Troop Event Condition, “battle turns” do not fundamentally play a role in determining the turn order of everything. In place of turn counts, “ticks” are used instead where a tick is a singular calculation that determines the proper positioning and relativity of each unit to each other in the grand scheme of calculating the turn order to determine which unit will have an action earlier or later. These “ticks” can be thought of as a clock ticking in seconds, only that the time in between battlers is removed and the time during a battler’s input is frozen. The said ticks will govern state “turns”, too, as they are automatically converted into ticks. In CTB, AGI is the king, the single most important stat in the whole game. A unit with a high enough AGI can potentially have multiple action turns before a unit with far lower AGI and will outlap the slower unit even after. With this in mind, CTB is the hardest to balance AGI out of the three mentioned battle systems thanks to “haste” and “slow” states being able to completely throw the battle system’s balance out the window.

STB: Part of the reason why CTB is so hard to balance properly is due to the fact that the editor is built completely around turn-based combat. STB makes a return to that from the tick-based STB back to turn-based. STB will also attempt to artificially balance the AGI stat by utilizing the rule of the “battle turn” imposed on by the battle system: Each unit is only allowed one turn by default regardless of their AGI value. Units with higher AGI values go earlier while units with lower AGI values go later. Because of this rule, AGI still has an immensely strong grasp on the battle system but not as strong as CTB did. AGI is constantly being calculated after each action to restructure the turn order in order to keep the balance and flow of the battle system. Exceptions can exist to this rule like Instant Casts, but Action Times+ aren’t as they are fundamentally different. In STB, those who stack AGI either before or during battle will often come out on top provided everything else is balanced. Maintaining “haste” on the player party and “slow” on the enemy troop is the key and core way of winning in nearly any game that uses STB and gives access to those play states/buffs.

OTB: Like STB, OTB is turn-based instead of being tick-based. However, it does a couple of interesting things.

1. First, it maintains a mild dependence on AGI. Each unit’s AGI is only used for the calculation of the initial turn order when it’s being made and nothing else. Any changes to a unit’s AGI once the turn has started will not influence that unit’s position in the turn order, unlike STB. At least, not until the next time AGI is used for calculating the unit’s position in the turn order.
2. The second thing of interest, however, is that instead of using one turn order to calculate the order of the units, it actually uses two: the current turn and the next turn. This means when turns are calculated, it actually does it for the next turn whenever a battle turn rolls over. This means the new “current turn” was the previous “next turn”. What makes this interesting is that this means that AGI changes not only do not affect the current turn nor the next turn, but instead, are effective only after the turn following the next turn. This makes changing AGI during battle seem nearly delayed, yet, that doesn’t actually happen… But why is that?
3. That brings us to the third thing of interest: because OTB has a mild hold on AGI and thrives on utilizing two turn orders, it becomes the ideal candidate for a mechanic called Turn Order Manipulation. Having two turn orders (and visible) allows for the player to manipulate it calculatingly. And because AGI only affects the initial calculation of the order in the turns, the player does not have to worry about a sudden reversal due to a change in a unit’s AGI. Changes to the turn order through manipulation are there to stay unless further manipulated by other similar effects or when a new turn is to occur. This makes the manipulation only temporary and not lingering but still remains impactful.

So what does this say about OTB? Its mild AGI dependency, flexible turn order mechanics, and all around openness to turn order changes means that it’s actually a battle system where the only way to combat AGI is to get better AGI (which is seen in the case of CTB and STB). And because of the all around openness in the battle system, things like Action Times+ can be utilized and included into it and flow just fine. So what anyone can conclude is that out of the three battle systems we’ve compared, OTB is the most AGI-balanced and flexible.

This isn’t to say OTB isn’t going to be without problems. In fact, making a battle system flawless is next to impossible. Not all plugins or the Tips & Tricks effects we’ve learned and made will be necessarily compatible with it. However, this isn’t the fault of OTB, but instead, the fault of RPG Maker MV’s original battle structure. A lot of the original battle structure throws a lot of chaos into making it structurally compatible with old and/or future plugins. Fortunately, by Olivia tying her OTB to the Battle Engine Core, a lot of potential plugin compatibility issues are fixed but not all.

—

Whew, typed a lot more than I expected to. While I am definitely in favor of OTB, I also recognize that for certain games out there, CTB or STB is better suited for them. For this reason alone, I made these small updates to STB to hopefully make the lives of some certain people a little easier.

Our friend, Fallen Angel Olivia, has a new update to her OctoPack Battler Sample Project!

—

Some more content has been added into the sample project and OctoPack Battler today!

An update has been made to Order Turn Battle. I’ve received some reports of certain Yanfly’s Buffs & States Core Lunatic Mode codes failing to work properly with Order Turn Battle. I don’t know why this happens, but I suspect it has to do with turn order calculation. This comes as a big surprise to me because I use a lot of Lunatic Mode notetags inside the sample project, too, and they have been working fine as far as I can tell. But since I cannot know how every single user is placing their notetags inside their projects, I have made a fail safe to organize it properly to prevent future problems with it.

That is the only major change I have done to the plugin code itself. Now, I will explain the new content added to the sample project!

The Trickster is the newest class I’ve added to the sample project. It has 8 new skills added to it!

This is Yanfly’s Jump Tips & Tricks added into the sample project to show it does indeed work with OTB despite what many people claim otherwise. This skill makes the user jump into the air for 2 turns, becoming untargetable. After 2 turns is up, the user falls down from the sky and lands on the selected enemy, dealing critical damage to it.

The Trickster is a class that brings in a lot of mechanics from the Persona series by using Yanfly’s Lunatic Mode alone! It can give an ally a state that makes a special effect: if the ally hits an enemy’s weakness, that ally will gain an extra action immediately after, as long as the enemy’s weakness hasn’t been exploited already during that turn.

There is a hidden passive effect, too: if all enemies become stunned by having their Break Shields reach 0, the Trickster will ask you if you want to do an All-Out Attack, which brings in the total ATK power of the party to deal damage to the enemy.

If you want to add the Trickster to your party, you can find him in the bar in the sample project!

This is a pretty unique class! It also shows the type of potential gameplay that can happen with different mechanics added to it like Persona’s 1-More system and All-Out Attack. Please take your time exploring the the new features!

Title images can do a lot to give your game a decent first impression. However, when they’re the same thing seen over and over during multiple loads, playthroughs, etc., they can get old pretty fast. This plugin gives you, the game developer, the ability to change the title screen image(s) to whatever you want during any point of the game you want, so that the next time your players return to the title screen, they’ll be treated with something new and refreshing!

Introduction

Title images can do a lot to give your game a decent first impression. However, when they’re the same thing seen over and over during multiple loads, playthroughs, etc., they can get old pretty fast. This plugin gives
you, the game developer, the ability to change the title screen image(s) to whatever you want during any point of the game you want, so that the next time your players return to the title screen, they’ll be treated with
something new and refreshing!

Instructions

Choosing what title screen image will appear is quite simple. By default, the image that will be shown will be the ones applied in the settings. But if you want to control it when the player has reached a certain point in your game, put in these plugin commands in an event to determine what images will be shown the next time your player views the title screen:

Plugin Commands:

ChangeTitle1 filename
ChangeTitle2 filename
– Replace ‘filename’ with the image’s filename found in your ‘titles1’ or ‘titles2’ folders respectively. Make sure the filename is exactly as it appears as it is case sensitive. Once an event runs this plugin command, the
next time the player visits the title screen, the new image(s) will appear.

ClearChangeTitle1
ClearChangeTitle2
– This will revert the Title1 or Title2 images back to default respectively. The player will see the default Title1/Title2 image that’s been applied in the game’s database settings.

Happy RPG Making!

The plugin polls are back, although now, they’re Patreon exclusive! Part of the reason for this is to avoid vote manipulation, which was one of the main reasons why the original public plugin polls were removed. The other reason is due to Sylvester leaving the team and no longer managing the Lunatic Pack suggestion box. This was mostly brought on by Valryia’s question during the QnA video. And while I’m sure with over 170 plugins made in the Yanfly Engine Plugins library ready for MV is ready to tackle the majority of RPG’s out there, it’s still extremely likely that there’s a few ideas missing from here or there that people would like to see made! The plugin polls will also double as a miniature plugin suggestion box, too, where when plugins voted have winners selected, I’ll be putting up the suggestions that seem the most interesting, and boy do you all have a lot of interesting ideas from those previous suggestion boxes! The suggestion phase is still going on before the next poll takes place so if you’d like to participate, please consider supporting our team on Patreon!

Our friend, Fallen Angel Olivia, brings us yet another plugin for RPG Maker MV!

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that adds more features to battle. These new features include a new critical hit flash coloration because the previous one is a slight red glow that is easy to miss. Damage popups have the option of having rolling numbers before they land on a finalized number. This is to help players in figuring out which numbers are still new when multiple popups appear at the same time. These two options can be turned off.

New notetag effects have been added. These notetag effects include giving parameter bonuses depending on how high or low HP currently is, a damage cut function that stacks additively on global damage or on certain elemental damage, the ability to overheal past a battler’s MaxHP, MaxMP, or MaxTP, a new notetag trait to allow switching two parameters with each other, and some notetags to ease the usage of Yanfly’s Buffs & States Core counters.

The OctoPack Battler sample project is also updated with the new plugin and updates to the OTB plugin (for compatibility with Dragonbones and synchronizing turn order flashing). Please take your time to look at the new features!

The Core Engine and Battle Engine Core plugins have been updated.

The Core Engine is updated for a number of reasons:

• I’ve added in Olivia’s full error message from her Anti-Stress Plugin (with her permission of course). This is because even to this date, getting proper error messages from users is a task in and of itself. Being able to display the full thing without having to ask users to open up the console by F8 would be far better.
• A bug has been fixed in the core MV code that causes blend modes to not take effect depending on bush depth.
• The Tab key no longer requires you to press it twice before triggering any Tab-key related inputs.

The Battle Engine Core has been updated with a fail safe. For some reason, people are getting a furthestRight error and that’s been causing the Battle Engine Core to crash. Either way, this plugin update is going to fix that by adding in a fail safe.

Be sure to update them!

This is a RPG Maker MV plugin that gives functionality to Show Picture events to display animated pictures. Animated pictures are shown in a sprite sheet format. There are looping controls and speed controls that can be used with these animated pictures.

And if you follow the Good Practices list found within the plugin page, you can maintain a near perfecf 60 FPS using animated pictures, too. Proof:

Touch Input Disabler!!!

Sometimes, we just want to disable the mouse and touch controls for our games. This small plugin lets you control just which parts of the mouse and touch controls you want to disable out of everything available.

Everything related to the mouse/touch input is disabled by the default plugin parameters. Change the settings to fit your game. If a setting is on/true, then the mouse/touch input for that setting will be enabled.
