OcRam MZ -plugins

[OcRam]

Hello fellow RPG Makers!

This is semi "biggish" update for OcRam_Time_System and there has been several posts and emails about next update to Time System so I have decided to pre-release this before my next major update where new OcRam battle core will be introduced.

OcRam_Time_System v1.09

• Added new Date format [None] - If only time is used (Credits to @Killuki Zaoldyeck )
• Added menu time window custom position parameter(s) (Credits to Killuki Zaoldyeck)
• Added new Date format [Weekdays + time]
• New plugin parameter "Time" caption
• New plugin parameter to force time window layout to horizontal (wide) or vertical (tall)
• Fixed bug: Spamming menu won't freeze time anymore (Especially with VisuMZ menu)!
• Hours per day and minutes per hour are now configurable! (Credits to @r66r )
• "Stop time on interact" won't freeze time anymore on map transfer (Credits to Dustin)

Spoiler: Related screen shots (only time in menu)

Shot 1: New "Date format" options!


Shot 2: For option "[None] - I use only time" in menu

And then latest post: @jjraymonds I can't see trace to OcRam_Layers in log window? Are you sure that it's Layers -plugin that causes that line in log? I don't see any reason why Layers plugin would search in different folder than it's defined in parameters... All bitmap loads to layers runs through this function:

ImageManager.loadOC_Layer = function (filename) {
    return this.loadBitmap(_layerImgDir, filename, 0, true);
};

I'm not entirely sure, that was the error I had with the first image in my post as well so I figured it was related to your plugin. The error doesn't show up when I draw the first parallax after changing the filepath.

Hi @OcRam

After several tests with the OcRam_Time_System plugin, I noticed that the "Stop time in battles" parameter had no effect. Indeed, the time stops during the fights no matter if the parameter is true or false.

Spoiler

On the battle start.


On the battle end.


The full log during the battle process.

It seems from the logs that somewhere in the code, a call is made to "window.clearInterval" and stops the time, even if it is well initialized at the beginning of the battle:

• setInterval: 7 is called during the "Scene_Battle_initialize" process
• clearInterval: 7 is where the problem happens
• clearInterval: undefined is called during the "Scene_Battle_terminate" process

Spoiler

    this.extend(Scene_Battle, "initialize", function () {
        console.log("Scene_Battle_initialize - start", _stopTimeInBattles);
        if (!_stopTimeInBattles) initTimer();
        _this["Scene_Battle_initialize"].apply(this, arguments);
        console.log("Scene_Battle_initialize - stop", _stopTimeInBattles);
    });

    // Clear timer
    this.extend(Scene_Battle, "terminate", function () {
        console.log("Scene_Battle_terminate - start", _stopTimeInBattles);
        if (!_stopTimeInBattles) {
            _this.debug("clearInterval:", window._OC_Timer);
            window.clearInterval(window._OC_Timer); window._OC_Timer = undefined;
        } _this["Scene_Battle_terminate"].apply(this, arguments);
        console.log("Scene_Battle_terminate - stop", _stopTimeInBattles);
    });

I hope it will help to correct this issue.

Hello! I have an issue, I'm sure is a stupid one because I know nothing about js

I'm trying to add MOG_Weather_EX weathers to the supportive weathers in your weather script, but after I've configured the command's arguments my game crashes when the weather is called (see console log for more info).

What I know is that the argument causing the crash contains a space, but the original plugin gives no infos on how to write it out correctly. I'll add MOG_Weather_EX as well so you can check it out if you want. Here's the arguments I used (the spaced argument is Rain 1): {id:0, mode:Rain 1, power:120, z:normal, blendType:normal, fileName:Rain_01A, speed:300, scale:75}

Hi, is it possible to mark a certain coordinate on the screen where I can get a light? For example, I want to fix the light on a moon (and also stars) that are at the top, in the sky of a parallax background, and stay there even if the player moves, is there how?

 

[OcRam]

Hello fellow RPG Makers!

This update is mostly about OcRam Weather System and Title Screen (while there are some other important minor updates too)!

OcRam_Weather_System v1.05 has now TITLE WEATHERS and includes following pre-built weather effects:

• "Fireflies" each fly will have it's own "move route" and they blink to communicate!
• "Fireworks" to celebrate occasions - even if this ain't weather it's part of weather system now
• "Wind" to have debris blowing at the players face!
• "Falling" leaves for example?
• "Raising" magical field / bubbles / hot air lanterns for example
• ...And of course 3rd party plugin commands are still available (but remember that 3rd party weathers might not work in battle/title screen)

One really simple and mandatory update was "Weather Conditions" for the dynamic weathers. Example fireflies at day time? Or sunrays at night? Or player just havn't progressed to the point where fieryrocks can rain from sky!?

In demo project there's also an example how use OcRam_Layers to create "sandstorm" effect.

This update also includes not one, but TWO brand new title screen plugins! OcRam_Title_Shuffler (with customizable layers and random weathers)! When developing this plugin I just stared at title screen several minutes (maybe hours?! Am I crazy?) just for fun to wait what location comes next and how is the weather in there!

Spoiler: Full video 04:01 - Includes plugin parameters

Spoiler: Plugin in Action - Skip boring stuff

OcRam_Title_Info will be my X-MAS gift for everyone (therefore free also for commercial use), this plugin will allow you to show various information in title screen.
(Screenshot from RETRO demo project)

Best way to see and learn how OcRam -plugins work is studying demo project thus OcRam MZ Demo and OcRam MV RETRO projects has been also updated! Demo projects and all OcRam -plugins are downloadable from: https://ocram-codes.net

REMINDER: When updating (or installing) ANY plugins, please remember to backup your project first!
If you are about to update any OcRam plugin please remember to update all OcRam plugins at the same time.
Parameter re-validation is required in some cases (especially new parameters) and it is done by clicking parameter then click "OK" button. Example: OcRam_Core "BGS2/3 Title Volume" is one of these parameters.

If you are encountering problems with update and you are not sure which parameters should be revalidated do it for ALL parameters or re-install the plugin.

Spoiler: More details inside this spoiler!

OcRam_Core v1.12

• New plugin parameter "Use spriteset in title" NOTE: Most of the OcRam title related stuff requires this parameter to be set "ON"
• OcRam.scene().isBattle() // Returns true if battle scene
• ImageManager.loadOcRamBitmap // Added onload callback
• getGameObjectId() // bug fix for airship/boat ids
• New plugin parameter to adjust BGS2/3 volume in title

OcRam_Battle_Core v1.01 - (no RETRO support yet)

• VisuMZ Battle Core compatibility patch. (NOTE: All overlapping features such as: Action Seq., sort by Y-axis and all popups at once will be disabled in OcRam_Battle_Core if VisuMZ Battle Core is used)

This plugin will enable you to show various information in title screen! Example: Game version, Copyright info, web address and even allows JS eval and clickable URLS!

Hi, is it possible to mark a certain coordinate on the screen where I can get a light? For example, I want to fix the light on a moon (and also stars) that are at the top, in the sky of a parallax background, and stay there even if the player moves, is there how?

Thank you for the message,
I'll check this before next update, but if lights should be behind tileset (like parallax image) - it might be tough one... But definitely would be cool effect to have!

 

[OMGerm]

OcRam, do you happen to have a timeline set for when you intend to look into and address follower distance in the Movement plugin? It's a wonderful tool, but this feature is something I'm very much counting on for future development. Thank you for everything you've done for this community!

Thank you for reminding me of this. I'll try to push it to next update (I'm making new map transfer plugin with seamless scrolling map transitions! There might be new video about it in near future).

What it comes to timeline I have none... I want to do things as good as I can without timetables (trying to reduce stress and keep plugin making fun). Besides 3 kids and wife are filling my timeline enough already

I was thinking, for this to work, if it is possible to fix the light in a coordinate on the screen (which goes where the player goes, just like a flashlight) but with the difference that you can fix it in a coordinate. So you could place the light exactly on top of the moon, which would be on the parallax background.

And whenever this light passed over a tile, it would go out (for example, this light would be over the moon, and when the player walks, a mountain will cover that moon).

I don't know if this is possible in practice, as I'm not a programmer, but I think it would be the most viable solution...

I have now checked how to do this and my suggestion is that I will release new plugin (or add new feature to OcRam_Events or similar) to fix event to parallax via <parallax> notetag.

Hello fellow RPG Makers!

OcRam MZ -plugins count is now round 20!!! Thank you all for the feedback - without you guys & gals this (or any other) update wouldn't have happened!

Map transfers, Credits scene, parallax fixed events, real time clock and pixel movement + local co-op revamp are the main topics in this first update of 2022!



Pseudo-pixel movement (OcRam_Movement) has now follower gap issue addressed and OcRam_Local_Coop now works much better in pseudo-pixel move mode (also made few changes if players would happen to spam action button to start events to avoid some unintended behaviour on other players)!

Events can be now fixed to parallax bg (NOTE: Loopped maps and scrolling parallaxes are currently unavailable for parallax fixing). Create nice moonlight scenes and more!

You may now use use real-time clock with OcRam_Time_System! Please note that enabling this feature will disable all time control commands (you can't (yet) manipulate real time with this plugin )!

And last, but not least TWO NEW PLUGINS:

1. OcRam_Map_Transfer! (Paid on commercial use, smallest price category) Give map notetags to tell which maps current map is connected to! This plugin also provides new transfer type "Scroll" when this effect is used plugin will preload next map to give nice seamless map transfer effect (like THE old school Zelda did)!
   
   
2. OcRam_Credits! (Free to use with credits ) Add new Credits scene to you RPG Maker project! Credits are divided to categories (ie. Programming, Graphics, Audio, Others) and sub categories (Plugins, Tilesets, Music etc..). Each item in sub category can have item name (ofc), author, url, license and additional info.
   
   

Spoiler: Upgrading your commercial OcRam -licenses

I've been now asked few times "I just bought license for your xxx plugin(s), but you ****** released more plugins!!! And I'd like to buy ALL bundle (or all lifetime bundle). Do I have to pay FULL 40 EUR (or 120 EUR) and was my xx EUR wasted?"
Answer: You can upgrade any previous license purchase(s) to ALL / ALL lifetime plugins bundle, but please contact me first BEFORE upgrading (to see what has been bought and for documenting license upgrade to my booking)!

[Candacis]

A credits plugin, what a neat idea. Thank you!

 

[r66r]

Seriously, these new plugins are amazing, thank you. I immediately integrated them into my current project, like most of your other plugins.

Spoiler: Unfortunately

I discovered a small bug with the map transfer plugin. In cases where the player is in the corners of the map, he can only move horizontally (left/right) but not vertically (up/down). When analyzing the plugin code, I discovered that when testing if "x=0" or "x=map.width-1", only the left and right direction keys are taken into account, but not the top and bottom. On the other hand, we test them in the following conditions for "y=0" and "y=map.height-1", but it is too late because there was a "return" before.

I have looked for a solution in the code, but so far in vain. I will try again soon. Apart from that, it works perfectly well, and the scrolling effect is really great.

Does anybody know If these plugins have an incompatibility with visual stellas debugger plugin,
because before I removed these plugins from my game the game would crash after going into the debugger menu then going to the menu it crashed with a type error _Icon of undefined

I have not had any crossover errors myself. The debugger works fine for me. Are the plugins in the correct order?
