Skill Upgrade
Version: 1.07
Author: Kread-EX

Introduction
Allows to upgrade/downgrade skills with either JP, gold, or a game variable. It was requested by Rukaroa based on Yanfly's game Generation Overzeal.

Features

  • Ability to upgrade and downgrade skills.
  • 3 possible "currencies". JP (with the JP Manager), gold or a custom game variable.
  • Skills can morph into another one after a certain level.
  • Probably more but I never know what to type in this section.

Here, demonstrating skill morphing.​
Instructions
Before everything, you should put this script below the JP Manager if you intend to use JP for upgrade.

To call the scene use this in a call script event command:
 SceneManager.call(Scene_Upgrade)
Default configuration
The script has a configuration section, where you set up the default behavior (common for all skills). It’s commented, but there’s one particularly important one:
 

# Default upgrade formula.UPGRADE_FORMULA = "cost * level"This formula calculates the JP cost for the next level. It’ll be evaluated, so please enter valid Ruby syntax. Note that “cost” refers to the base JP cost and “level” to the next skill level.

Tagging skills
You can tag each skill to make it behave differently from the default. You can put the following tags in the skill’s notebox:
 

<upgrade_cost: x>This is the base cost of the skill.
 

<upgrade_formula: string>The formula to calculate the JP/Gold/Variable cost. Overrides the default formula and needs to be valid Ruby syntax.
 

<max_level: x>The maximum level a skill can attain.
 

<upgrade_damage: x>Every level, the skill’s damage will raise by x%.
 

<upgrade_mp: x>Every level, the skill’s MP cost will raise by x%.
 

<upgrade_tp: x>Every level, the skill’s TP cost will raise by x%.
 

<level_morph: x, y>At level X, skill will become skill Y. This is a one-way process and downgrade won’t be available after a morphing.

Compatibility notes
Integrates well in menus made by Yanfly. Shouldn't be used with Grathnode Install.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
