SMO - Achievements Menu v1.04

[SMO_Valadorn]

Hi, @ravenhood. I have this two problems exactly too.
The progress bar don't unlocked and only displaying 99% I resolved it turn "Global" in "Local".
EDIT: I Resolved it already! The error was in Global because I don't have a Achievements.json empty file in the data folder. I read the plugin help and I found my error. You only need if turn it in global, create an empty file "Achievements.json" in the data folder and solved!

I want to ask too how resolve the second trouble about plugins of Yanfly (Message Core and the other ones, not only Mess.Pack1, also EvalText and Macros). Don't look to be compatible... Hope that SMO_Valadorn can help us. This is a very amazing plugin! MerryXMas! And sorry for the bad english, is not my first language.

I'm working on a way to create the json file automatically in case it doesn't exist.
I added compatybility with YEP_MessageCore, it'll surely be on the next version but I'll need to take a look at EvalText and Macros.

Happy holidays everyone!

Oh, really? That's wonderful! I will waiting for this! I really love this plugin. I think is the most complete plugin about achievements, with a lot of cool functions. So... I will waiting for the next update! Because I need YEP_MessageCore and others, but I don't want to say good bye to this one either. Thank you very much for your fast reply @SMO_Valadorn, and thanks too for @ShadowDragon.

For some reason I can't fathom, I can't get achievements to be "remembered", even though I have 'Global' enabled.

Here's what I've done:

1) I created a blank text file named Achievements.json in my data folder (0kb).

2) Played my game and unlocked a couple of achievements. Checked and they showed up in the achievements screen as unlocked correctly.

3) Exited the game. Restarted it and checked the achievements screen... no achievements had been unlocked!

4) I checked the Achievements.json file and it was now 1kb with a string of letters and numbers as the contents when opened in a text editor (encrypted achievements, presumably).

I have fiddled with this for hours and still can't figure out what is causing achievements to reset when the game is exited.

Any help from anyone at all is GREATLY appreciated!

Strangely, it seems to work when I use "test play" but NOT when I run game.exe normally (that is, it "remembers" any achievements earned during test play but never those from normal run or created deployment). I checked and Achievements.json gets written to during test play but not when the game is run via game.exe (tested with a fresh file each time, and only with test play did the file get text written to it and its size increase).

 

[ShadowDragon]

@Banjo if you deploy the game and test it, and work, do you exacly "save"
the game and continue? or save and new game (not continue).

if you do continue from save file and not unlocked, it is strange indeed.
I didn't test the deployment part yet, so I cannot tell though for sure.

 

[Banjo]

@ShadowDragon
Saving or loading doesn't make a difference. Whenever I run the game from a deployed version or from the source folder using Game.exe (i.e. with RPG Maker MV not first running), the achievements don't save to Achievements.json when I unlock one. If I play in "test mode", any achievements unlocked save, and will be visible no matter how I start the game.

SOLUTION!
One of my awesome beta playtesters found the bug!

It seems to be a path issue, and changing:

SMO.AM.saveGlobalAchievements = function() {
    var achievs = JSON.stringify(SMO.AM.GlobalAchievements);
    var fs, path;
    fs = require('fs');
    path = 'data/Achievements.json';
    if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
        achievs = btoa(achievs);
        achievs = 'S' + achievs;
        fs.writeFileSync(path, achievs);
    }
}

to:

SMO.AM.saveGlobalAchievements = function() {
    var achievs = JSON.stringify(SMO.AM.GlobalAchievements);
    var fs, path;
    fs = require('fs');
    path = 'www/data/Achievements.json';
    if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
        achievs = btoa(achievs);
        achievs = 'S' + achievs;
        fs.writeFileSync(path, achievs);
    }
}

... makes achievements save properly now when the game is run via Game.exe (deployed or source).

the "www/" was needed because deployed versions (and the source folder too) put the game in a subfolder "www" below Game.exe. Presumably test run within RPGMMV doesn't check and runs the game straight from the "www" folder, hence why it worked.

The downside of fixing this is that achievements now *don't* save when the game is run from test mode, but in some ways I prefer this as I don't have to keep resetting achievements every time I test the game. IMO, this is preferred functionality (i.e. achievements don't persist after you exit test mode but do when playing normally).

If the dev implements a "better" fix that makes it work in both situations, I don't mind, but I'm happy with the edit I made for now.

Attached is the edited version of the plugin; only the changelog and above line was altered from 1.03. I labled it as 1.03b to avoid conflicting with future official updates.

This really is an awesome plugin, incidentally!

 

[ShadowDragon]

when the update comes, the save is re-coded differently.
so it works better but nice catch though ^^

 

[Banjo]

Thanks! Glad to know it will be fixed.

I just needed to fix my own game ASAP as testers were freaking out about achievements not saving! I thought about making it so both test mode and deployed mode works (i.e. recode the whole save function), but decided to stick with "only deployed mode saves" for reasons explained in my post above.

Will swap out my edited version for the official 1.04 when it comes, though.

 

[ShadowDragon]

I think it will be higher, but I would recommend BEFORE you swap, what things are
changed, while the GUI will be there as well, so check first, because some things
might be changed or differently, or backup the game before adding, to see
if everything still works the way you set it up

Hello @SMO_Valadorn, do you have some news about the development of the plugin?

 

[xabileug]

I like how it looks like genshin impact.. Is it possible the rewards are claimed in the scene and not auto added to inventory? Also, is it possible to have rewards that increase variable or EXP, i did not find example in the demo.. i dont know how to use the Custom(Advanced)

 

[ShadowDragon]

@xabileug it might be possible to claim the rewards if you combine it
with eventhing, like turning on the switch, and a npc somewhere, to
claim it when the switch is on.

you can add exp, not sure about increasing variables, but is possible
with a bit eventing on it.

while there is a tiny bug fixed on his side, but not updated, I know he
is busy and redo some parts to get the GUI working to make them.

I also know he is also busy on some other things, so I dont know how
high prioritize this plugin, where some things are fixed and added,
so maybe he take this feature in it as well, as well as the saving
problem that will be fixed there.

I hope he is doing well, it's been a while he is online.

Hi everyone!

@DarkSearinox92 Don't worry I'm still working on this plugin and recently got more time to work on it, I'm currently working on the editor of achievements to make the achievements' creation more user friendly, it also adds options to edit the menu.

@xabileug Claiming rewards is a mechanic that I've already considered and I'm gonna add it on the next update (it'll be an optional mechanic), I just need to finish the achievements' editor first but currently you can use the advanced option to increase a variable and add EXP to your actors, you just need to choose the "Custom(Advanced)" type and write the script on the "Advanced" field, I'll give you some examples of scripts:

var value = 1; var variableId = 10; var newValue = $gameVariables.value(variableId) + value; $gameVariables.setValue(variableId, newValue);
The code above will add 1 to the variable 10.

Adding 50 exp to the actor 2: $gameActors.actor(2).gainExp(50);

Adding 20 exp to the party leader: $gameParty.leader().gainExp(20);

I'll try and make it simpler to do with the editor, I'm just not sure yet when it'll come out

@ShadowDragon Yo, good to see you SD! I'm great, thanks, I hope your are doing well too!

Bye everyone!

Yo! How are you guys doing?
SMO_Achievements.js v1.04 is out! Though I think I should call it v2.0 because I changed it a lot... Anyways, here are some of the new stuff:

• Added the ACHIEVENATOR, which includes an editor for the achievements, for the menu and for the categories;
• Added option to collect the reward manually, check out the "Collect Reward" parameter;
• Rewards are now optional, check out the "Use Rewards" parameter;
• You can now reveal secret and hidden achievements before the player unlocks it or turn other achievements into secret/hidden ones, take a look at the new script calls (10-14);
• Compatibility with YEP_MessageCore and some translation plugins: SRD_TranslationEngine, KDTools_Localization and Iavra Localization - Core;
• Necessary files are automatically created, "data/Achievements.json" is now on "save/achievs.rpgsave", the old data is automatically imported and the old file deleted;
• Auto-refresh after transfer is now optional, check out the "Refresh After Transfer" parameter;
• Fixed error where achievements unlocked on global mode were not being saved on deployed projects;

Please, leave a message if you find any bug or if you have any sugestion, I'll try not to take another year for the next version haha


Cheers everyone!

One thing I'll warn you about that someone pointed out to me before (not sure if it's still the case): apparently require('fs') doesn't work in deployed projects because it's an nwjs feature and deployment doesn't support anything that's nwjs-exclusive.

Edit: looks like you only use that in things that will only be used in test play anyway, so it's a moot point.

 

[xabileug]

thank you so much! so exciting!

done with the demo! i like it a lot.. the smooth window appearance like its tween.. the reward claim indicator, manual collect reward!

Actually, it works on deployed projects too, RPGMaker MV's StoreManager uses require('fs') to save and load files, but it doesn't work on browser, then you'd need to call the localStorage.
The old bug where you couldn't save global achievements on deployed projects was related to the fact that, on deployed projects, the main folders are placed inside another folder, called www, all I needed to do to fix that was copy the function StorageManager.localFileDirectoryPath (which works for the save folder) and use it to get the data folder.

Ah, good to know! I had no intention of making any of my projects available on browser, so turns out I've been given erroneous advice. XD

 

[ShadowDragon]

making errors, just make you human after all
but I hope the people love this achievement system and got trouble
before, are happy on this release and have the patience untill it's
release to use it alot

the nice thing as well is that you can move the windows to make it
how you see fit

Well done SMO for the amazing achievement update =)

 

[AzureCrook]

Hey everyone, this plugin seems too gorgeous to even be real, would love to be able to add it to the game but seem to be doing something wrong on my end, would anyone please be able to assist?

 

[ShadowDragon]

I didn't got that error before,

how did you set up the achievement pop up?
by parameter or by editor (h)?
can you make screenshot how the setup is made and how to replicate?
