Project FOSSIL (v1.0): Use MV plugins in MZ! 300+ plugins Fossilized!

[busbuzz]

How can i fix compatibility for we and android?

What a great plugin!
I tried it with Yanfly Instant Cast and when I tried to start the game I got this error. What did I do wrong?

TypeError
Yanfly.Util.getRange is not a function

Woah, this is amazing!
I have nothing constructive to add, just that this is a fantastic plugin and thank you so much for creating it!

 

[Oddball]

Will this effect MZ plugins?

Error
Uncaught TypeError: this._clearUpperCanvas is not a function

Trying to use YF_Core, YF_BattleEngine, and YF_CTB

What did I do wrong?

I know I already got one minimap plugin to work, but now we have the one made by @SilverDash available in MZ as well.

It has an optional fog of war, and can be toggled on and off (or given as an item). I have most of the plugins in his master demo working, but haven't figured out the itemlog. Still, if you want the cool window-slide-in effect that he put in his core engine (you can see one sliding in from offscreen at the top left!), the event randomization, or the dash stamina system, you've got those as options in MZ now.

I know this is old, but I'm having a problem where loading SE_Minimap causes an 'Undefined' error when I test the project. I have all of the associated requirements enabled (SE_Core, SE_Keys, Mapshot), and the game loads fine with just these enabled, but enabling the minimap plugin just results in an error when hitting the test play button.

YEP_EngineCore is not supported.
Not every plugin can be, some like this one are proabbly unportable

Amazing plugin. I have been trying it out, and most of my MV plugins.
Except I get a really strange bug: my battler sprites won't appear in combat. Anyone else getting this weird bug? It's simple as that: I activate FOSSIL plugin, none of the battlers show up on the screen. Deactivating it fixes this issue.

Yeah but CTB says its supported and so is battle engine. Do you run it without the core?

I got referenceerror require not defined with this plugin as i was trying to deploy to web. I looked for plugins that had the function require in it, and found fossil, then removed fossil and the game worked,

Have the same problem, looks like it's incompatible with web browsers/android deplyment. Sadly.

 

[Beregon]

Great plugin! Any chance it will support web deployment in the future?

 

[Rex Tenebris]

Hello @Restart YEP_X_MapQuestWindow is showing like this, could you fix it please?


Quest objectives doesn't show at all, neither the squares. It should look like this (from MV):



Also, by some reason only due using YEP_QuestJournal this window is always opened on start:

Yes. The Core engine is very complex plugin and would require going into its code.
Use Battle Core and CTB without it.

I tried it and it doesn't work in any event.

 

[DarkSearinox92]

I don't understand if the project continues to be supported or not ... I don't see any new posts about updates, just an endless list of people reporting problems.

Last update of the main post is Jun 16, 2021...

 

[Halcyon Days]

I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, but I tried to get FOSSIL and downloaded the raw version of the plugin, but how I can add it in my project?

 

[FiercestPixel]

Has anyone had any luck with porting ChronoEngine? I've been getting this error...

Did some digging regarding Yanfly Core Engine compatibility with FOSSIL, perhaps the following will be useful to someone.

It seems like there is an issue with how Core Engine handles and scales battlebacks - FOSSIL has that is supposed to emulate RMMV way of drawing battlebacks because it has changed in RMMZ.

The code line highlighted in the link throws (https://github.com/FossilMZ/fossil-MV-MZ/blob/main/FOSSIL.js#L2808) because Sprite_Battleback.prototype.battleback1Name is undefined for some reason (and the code cannot call "apply" method of undefined object)
Unfortunately, I am too much of a noob in Javascript and too new to RpgMaker to figure out the reason so far.

I wonder what was the version of Core Scripts that the current version of FOSSIL was tested with, because it seems like something has changed in the Core Scripts and broke FOSSIL.

Note : In the test project I used only FOSSIL and Yanfly Core Engine plugins and Core scripts v1.3.3

Thanks for this, truly

Has anyone had success with deploying their game to mobile/web well using the Fossil plugin? For whatever reason my game does not work when I deploy it for mobile/web when using the fossil plugin.

Thanks in advance!
