INSTRUCTIONS

• Copy the JSON Data Compression plugin into the plugin folder of the desired project.
• Add the JSON Data Compression plugin via the Plugin Manager within the RPG Maker MV editor.
• Enable or disable the plugin compression options. When enabled, compression will always occur when the game is play tested. Information on which files were compressed and the amount of compression of each file will be displayed in the console (F8). The plugin will create compressed 'lzon' files within the 'data' directory and will not overwrite existing 'json' files. The 'lzon' files will only be loaded and used when the game is not in a playtest state.
• After deployment of the game, BE CERTAIN to remove all 'json' files within the 'data' directory that have a 'lzon' compressed copy.

Sweet!

Ossra · Jul 25, 2016

Updated the Follower Control script to version 1.2, added the Character Extras script, and created a project which showcases each plugin. Plugin commands in Follower Control have been changed to match javascript camelCase, so please ensure you are using properly named commands. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Ossra · Aug 28, 2016

Finished the Basic Shadows plugin.

Portkey89 · Aug 29, 2016

Oh my gosh these are INCREDIBLE. How are more people not talking about these?!? Can't wait to try them out. Event sound emitter and weather extras also have me SO EXCITED.

Ossra · Aug 29, 2016

@Portkey89 You can try out a beta of Weather Extras, if you want. There are more options to come, but I am going to be focusing my attention on the Event Sound Emitter and Visual Equipment plugins for a while.

I have also added a few small Character Control plugins I have made over the last few weeks. Some may be absorbed by the main Character Control suite, but for now they are stand-alone plugins.

Portkey89 · Aug 29, 2016

This is AWESOME!!! Regarding said weather plugin, would it be possible to add a plugin parameter to designate an image for each weather graphic? Just curious! I know you're focused on Sound Emitter and Visual Equipment, and both of those are immensely more exciting to me anywho! Just thought that a custom graphic being affected by all your adjustment parameters could make for some very nice weather effects! Thanks again, Exhydra!

Ossra · Aug 31, 2016

@Portkey89 Yeah, I planned to include custom weather graphics. I just have not gotten around to putting that in yet. I will find some time to put that option into the current beta so people can test it out.

Also, I am cancelling my Sound Emitter plugin as JavaHut has just made a fantastic audio plugin. Check it out :

So now I will be focusing my attention on a Visual Equipment plugin.

Portkey89 · Sep 2, 2016

I'll check it out! THANKS!!!

firestalker · Sep 5, 2016

i always get an actor error when I use your Basic Shadows Rewrite Plugin... But I don't get one when I use Quasi's Simple Shadow Plugin with your addon. Why is that?

Ossra · Sep 5, 2016

@firestalker Hmm, could you tap F8 when the error occurs and give me the message that is displayed? Basic Shadows reads the note section of each actor (you can make the player or followers a source for shadows, change shadow color and so on), so there may be another plugin conflicting with it ... or there is an error I just need to fix.

firestalker · Sep 5, 2016

I turned off all the other plugins at one point and that didn't help at all... I got through the title screen and the same error popped up. The error is "Cannot read property 'actor' of undefined"... I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Ossra · Sep 5, 2016

@firestalker Hmm, ok ... I changed the way the plugin checked for followers. Give this version of the plugin a try and let me know if it works out.

~~Basic Shadows Development Version~~ (Plugin Updated in Main Thread)

firestalker · Sep 5, 2016

Not sure what's going on... A new error but in the same spot as that last one. Quasi's plugin is working fine for me now and I was wondering if you could make a small addon for it [you could also use this in your plugin as well I think]... I was wondering if the shadow can 'hide' behind certain terrain tags like Terrax's Lighting Plugin does. That way the shadows don't bleed into the tiles that are supposed to be ceiling and roof tiles.

Secondly, can you make the shadow disappear when the actor stands directly underneath the Light Source? Like if you have a floating lamp or something and the actor is standing in the same square. Right now the shadow flies and stretches, but it really should be directly below the actor not off to the side.

Thanks for the help...

Ossra · Sep 5, 2016

The error is appearing in the same function, but not the same section. The following version will hopefully fix the error.

~~Basic Shadows Development Version~~ (Plugin Updated in Main Thread)

At the moment, the shadow will vanish abruptly when you walk underneath the shadow source. But in the next update I plan to have the shadow gradually shrink as you walk underneath. As for terrain tags and such ... I'll have to research on that more before I can implement the feature.

EDIT: I just updated the development version of the plugin to include a vanishing, shrinking shadow as the player, event or so on walks underneath a shadow source.

firestalker · Sep 5, 2016

It works great now.... thanks. Now to get into the long process of changing all the notes for ALL the lights in my game. I have a lot.

EDIT: I was also wondering if you could make it so that you can set the angle... Like if the light is on a wall you can set the angle to 180degrees and the shadow will only appear in that 180 degrees area. this way if you have a light fixture on one side of a wall and you walk behind it the light doesn't affect the players shadow. You can use this to make spotlights or flashlight shadows as well. Set the angle to 45 or 30 and the shadow will only appear in that area. You attach that light to an event or player and it'll look pretty cool I think.

Would that be doable? There was a script back in the XP days that did all that and then some... I'll see if I can find my copy of it if you think it'll help.

RequLz · Sep 6, 2016

Awesome work!

Is the Basic Shadows plugin usable if you are parallax mapping?

Mayuen · Sep 7, 2016

Awesome set of plugins!

Ossra · Sep 7, 2016

@firestalker That option was originally going to be a part of the initial release, but I had to remove it at the last minute. I will re-add the option once I get the chance.

@RequLz The plugin should be able to work with that, yes. Let me know if you run into an issue, and I'll try to increase the compatibility with parallax mapping.

ShadowKing · Sep 7, 2016

I still get the 'isReady' of undefined error on your shadows plugin.
