When i'm shopping weapons or armor, the stat benefits are messed up, in certain cases.

Example: I'm trying to buy a hat for a mage which would provide +2 to MDF, and nothing to DEF. In the shop screen, no benefit is visible, it just shows 0. However, if i'm about to buy something that raises DEF, like a helmet, it shows the DEF stat + properly. My question is: Is there a way to show both MDF and DEF benefits in the shopping screen? (and also ATK and MAT) Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Are you using any scripts?

That information should be visible regularly unless something modified the engine...

I tried it in a clean test project before posting. It only shows one number per actor whether you're buying a weapon or armor, and i suspect the number shown is either ATK if it's a weapon, or DEF if it's an armor. So, if i'm buying gear with MDF but no DEF in it, nothing is shown (except 0).

Galv's Shop Upgrade script or Blackmorning's Basic Shop script both got the option of showing all default stats in the window.


Ohh, and if I remember right, no, only DEF and ATK is shown on the shop screen, no MDF or MAT. I might be wrong thou, haven't visited the shop for quite a long time.

This really bothers me. You could have a staff with +1 MAT and one with +9999 MAT and the shop would literally show you no difference.

That's true and one of the most irritating things about shops.  It can be helpful to put in your description box some indication of other stats that the gear affects, so that the player can tell that even if there is no more DEF, there's EVA+4% and MDF + 6, so it's worth getting.

Thanks! It seems that Blackmorning's script addresses this problem :)

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
