Description of the Feature:
  • I would prefer that the json files aka the database entries are formatted in a human and version control system (git) readable format
  • This includes linebreaks for each key, spaces between key and value and indentation.
  • Only on deployment these whitespaces should be deleted to reduce filesize

Mockups:

Why is this feature good?
This feature is great because of the following:
  • Makes it easier to use other editors and scripts in combination with rmmv
  • Makes it easier to use git and other version control systems which don't have any chance of working with the current formatting, and therefor make it easier to colab on projects
  • Makes the files readable and easier to understand therefore helping people to learn how the editor and the engine works

Possible issues with this feature?
Issues that might arise from this feature:
  • People who don't use the deployment function need to delete the whitespaces by themselves via a script for example
  • It doesn't make every change auto compatible with version control systems you still need a kind of change policy in place where and when to edit the database to prevent merge conflicts.

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
