When you have many scripts to share, and they all read notes from database items, how do you write your scripts so the methods that read the notes don't overwrite each other? With a normal class method, you'd just alias it each time. But if it's a new method that hasn't been defined in the RPG:: classes, there's nothing to alias.
I mean, when you write them in a way that the notes are loaded at the same time as the database is loaded, and save the data into variables, not so that they're looked at every time you want to check if an item has particular contents in its notes. Like a read_notes method that's called on each object after the $data_* classes are loaded.
I'm thinking of making a script that just defines the method for each class but leaves it empty, and calls them when the database is loaded. Then each script would alias the method. But that means when scripts are shared, the user would need to grab both - the script that they WANT, plus the one that defines the read_notes method.
Or do you just not do it that way, and have every script scan through the notes when and where it wants to know if the specified tag exists?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
