Eli's Book

[Eliaquim]

Author: Hakuen Studio​

Introduction

This plugin optimizes all of my other plugins, making them less code and easier to maintain and implement improvements. It is not a core plugin, it does not overwrite any function of the standard codes of the RPG maker MZ.

Features

Provide methods and code that add a better performance on all Eli plugins.

How to use

Put above all other Eli plugins.

You can use it in script calls. You can also copy and paste these's functions to your own plugins. Just give me the credits ^^


● Eli_Book
• eli.scene() → Returns the current scene.
• eli.ruleOf3(a, b, c) → Realize a simple rule of 3.
• eli.isScene(My_Scene) → Returns true if you are in the specified scene.
• eli.needEval(String) → If the string is not a number, it will eval. Otherwise, it will return the String.
• eli.nameToRGB(htmlColorName) → Convert an html color name to RGB color.
• eli.hexToRgb(hexColor) → Convert a hex color to RGB color.
• eli.convertEscapeVariablesOnly(text) → It will return a text with the \v[ID] converted.
• eli.convertEscapeCharacters(text) → Returns a text with all escape characters converted.
• eli.toLowerCaseArray(array) → Will return a new array with all string elements to lower case.
• eli.centerX(objWidth, baseWidth) → Returns the centered position of X.
• eli.centerY(objHeight, baseHeight) → Returns the centered position of Y.
• eli.centerPos(objWidth, objHeight, baseWidth, baseHeight) → Returns the centered position of X and Y.
• eli.divideByTheLargest(num1, num2) → Divides the largest number by the smallest.

● Game Player
• $gamePlayer.meta() → Return the meta of the actor Id that is the party leader.

● Game Event
• $gameMap.event(ID).meta() → Return the meta of the event id specified.
• $gameMap.event(ID).note() → Return the note of the event id specified.

● Image Manager
• ImageManager.saveOldCache() → It has to be used on the start method of a
scene. It will save the current cache state.
• ImageManager.restoreOldCache() → It has to be used on the terminate method of a scene. It will set the cache to the saved one.
With these functions, you simulate a clear cache, but only clear the cache generated for the current scene, and restore it to the old one, before entering this scene.

● Sprite
• mySprite.scaledBitmapWidth() → Returns the sprite dimension value considering the scale.
• mySprite.scaledBitmapWidth() → Returns the sprite dimension value considering the scale.
• mySprite.stretchToScreen(aspectRatio, baseWidth, baseHeight) → Stretch the sprite bitmap to the screen. You can choose to keep or not the aspect ratio. The other parameters are set by the Screen size by default.

@Oddball
Are you using the MV or MZ version?
Send me a screenshot of your plugin list.
Also, trigger the error again, then press F12 or F8 and open the console tab and send me a screenshot of the error log there too.

Hi @Oddball
That's strange, the variable "eli" is only present in older versions of my plugins.
Make sure you are with EliMZ_Book version 3.0.0 and EliMZ_StaticExp version 2.0.0

If even download the new versions, it doesn't work. Send me the right console screenshot, because yours is wrong.
Example:

 

[Oddball]

Ah! it's the static EXP script. thanks, i'll download the latest version

The only "scripting" i know how to do well is with variables in the editor, so again this is a big help
