  = Always Gain Exact TP on Skill Use, by lilyWhite =
  (well, that's a mouthful)
  
  VX Ace allows an actor to gain TP when using an skill. However, by default,
  they will only gain TP if the attack hits and isn't evaded, and every
  successful hit will add the TP Gain value, resulting in significantly more TP
  when there are more enemies.
    
  This simple little scripts alters the way TP is added to an actor. TP will
  only be added once upon activation of the skill, regardless of whether or not
  the skill successfully hits or is evaded by the target. The user's TP Charge
  Rate (TCR) still applies to received TP.
  
  There is an option to allow actors to gain TP when using a skill out of
  battle. By default, it is set to false. Remember that, by default, VX Ace
  resets actors' TP at the beginning of battle if they do not have the
  "Preserve TP" trait.
  
  Usage: Free to use in any commercial or non-commercial project! Credit to
  "lilyWhite"; I reserve the right to be slightly miffed if you get the
  capitalization wrong. :3
