Navash Random Encounter Bar

Navash Random Encounter Bar
Latest Version: v1.20
​

Introduction and Features:

This Plugin creates a small window with a gauge that fills up as the player gets closer to a random encounter.
When the gauge is full, the random encounter will be triggered.

The random encounter bar only appears if the map has random encounters designated on it and encounters are enabled.
So if the party has the no encounter flag, for example, the bar will not be shown.

The window size and positioning can be customized using the plugin parameters.

You can also use a custom image instead of the basic window for the encounter bar.
Place your custom image in your project's img/system folder and specify the filename
in the plugin parameters. Instructions included in the help file.

The gauge color can also be set to change based on how filled it is (check gif in screenshots).

Note that this plugin does not change how random encounters work. It simply gives a visual representation of how close the
player is to the next random encounter.


Usage:

All of the usage instructions are included in the plugin help file.


Download:

Plugin Commands:

The Encounter Window can be shown or hidden using the following plugin commands:

HideEncounterGauge
ShowEncounterGauge

Pretty self explanatory

This is so cool! I can't wait to get home and test this out!

EDIT: Here's an example for people who might wanna use custom images (I might take the window skin away entirely and just use the mini-frame)!

Cool!
Is it possible to activate / deactivate the plugin via plugin command?
This would open whole new possibilities, like adding items/skills to the game which lets the player "sense" encounters, instead of having it default

Plugin Updated to v1.20!

New Features:

- Added ability to set gauge color based on rate.

What this means is that the gauge color can be set to now change dynamically based on how filled it is. You can set color changes at every 10% rate interval.
Check gif attached to main post for preview.
