Questions about "Effectus"

[Nightblade50]

Hello there! I have a few questions about the script known as "Effectus." It is here.
http://rpgmakersource.com/ourproducts/effectus/
Here are the questions.

1. How does this script work?
2. Is it worth the money?
3. Is there a plugin like this for MV?

Thank you for any help you can give!

1. It basically rewrites the code for many functions in ACE to make them faster.

2. Yes, though the creator hasn't been around since 2016 so you're on your own if you hit issues. I already had to pay someone money to fix one bug in it that appeared between it and my scripts.

3. Not that I know of.

Effectus is the best antilag script for Vx Ace, it is worth the money if you're making an ace game. It does many things to improve the perfomance, like:

• Replace default rpg maker code with better written code;
• Adds some customization options that allow you to disable stuff you don't need.

There are other antilag scripts for Ace too, some of them free. From my experience, after effectus the best one was TheoAllen's insane antilag.

MV doesn't need an antilag as much as ace did, but there are some plugins for it. I wrote a very basic one that improves some stuff, but I've seen at least one more in the past.

I am using TheoAllen's script right now. It works pretty well. Maybe I will buy Effectus sometime Thank you!

I will say some anti-lag script is handy for ACE though. I got one of my tester's computers to do only 8 FPS on a map with 400 events, none of them parallel. Even mine it stuttered some on that map. But with Theoallen's, I got it back to 60 FPS.

I mainly use Effectus for those with really old computers, but I could have probably stuck with Theoallen's. Just note that if you do change, your save gams will become invalid. Why, no idea, as I don't know why an anti-lag script needed to redo the saving code, but it will break your saves to change to Effectus from Theoallens (or vice versa).

Ok, great! Yes, TheoAllen's script has helped my game quite a lot!
