Oh yeah!


Great new features *.*


But if i open it, than it feels like something loops and the framerate drops...

Spoiler

EDIT: The framerate only drops, if monster is visible in the slot. If the ID is hide, than the framerate is 60fps. Maybe the script checks permanent


the database.

Is the framerate only dropping while opening, or the whole time while book is open?

 

[styx92]

the whole time if its open and a visible monster is shown.

 

[Skotty TV]

Spoiler

I sadly have to say that this problem is on your side since i cant found any framerate issues inside the plugin. For me it is over 130FPS all the time. Just to make sure: Create a brand new Game and insert this Plugin. Let me know if the FPS is better then. However i will look through the plugin again this week  to improve the framerate. Would be interesting if others have the same problem.

Yeah you have right. In new project its perfect... hmm mabye is my enemy database to big. But your old plugin runs...
But really good plugin anyway!

Hey i tried this with 500+ Enemies so the cause is somewhere else.


Try this: Turn Off one Plugin after another and testplay until it works normal. The last plugin that you turned off then causes the proplem. Give me the name of that plugin and i can try to fix this.

Nice plugin !!! you know how do you open this plugin via a menu command ??? I state that I use the plugin "YEP Main menu manager" !!!


You can do that if you completed all the Enemy Book with all enemies killed required, give a prize ???

Hey!


- The Command you´re looking for is:  SceneManager.push(Scene_EnemyBook)


- Inside the Plugin-Parameters there is something called " Book Full Switch ". The Switchnumber you enter there will set ON when the Book is full.


You can create events that ask for that switch like: if Switch001 = ON then blabla.


- Also there is something called  "Count Discovered Variable". The Variable Number you put there will save the Number of discovered Enemies.


For example you can ask if this Variable is bigger then "10" and create events that will give you achievments like "More then 10 Monsters in Book".

I searched a bit in my plugins. Its definitly the text control from victor engine. I tested it in a new project and there the frame drops to 20 but after a few seconds it goes up to 60 again.


Mabye because its an empty project.


I deactivate it and it works great. I dont need the control text so much, but i want that you know it

Thanks !!! ...


I can not enter the command menu !!!


A demo please with only YEP main menu with the enemy command book created ???


How do I get to MAX all killings of enemies using the command call to test the "Killing Achievement" ??????


And since that bosses are defeated only once, how do you set their count of killings to "1" ???


I realized that I want to say ???

 

[Skotty TV]

- Topic is updated. There you will find the tutorial under "YEP_MainMenuManager"

How do I get to MAX all killings of enemies using the command call to test the "Killing Achievement" ??????

- I added the command " EnemyBook completekills"

And since that bosses are defeated only once, how do you set their count of killings to "1" ???

- Use the command " EnemyBook maxkills X Y" = X is the EnemyID, Y is the number you want the maxkills to set.


You´re Welcome!

Congratulations!!! good job!!! Thank you for everything, for the additions by my request for changes, for explanations, for the tutorial, now works all over !!!


only one thing ... I fail the Killing Achievement switch !!! 


I have 320 enemies, I put the switch for Killing Achievement ID is 320, I used the "EnemyBook completekills" command, but but the switch does not activate !!! 


What did I do wrong ???

 

[Skotty TV]

I have 320 enemies, I put the switch for Killing Achievement ID is 320, I used the "EnemyBook completekills" command, but but the switch does not activate !!! 

- First i decided to only set the switches with actual killing, now with v2.1a the "complete kills" command also set the switches


if you put "320" in the paramter "Kills Achievment Start Switch" the achievmentswitch for enemyID 4 will be "324".

Very good!!! Now it works great !!! 


You can put icons of the elements and the status window on the weaknesses ???

 

[styx92]

Works really pretty now!


Ehm you support yanfly right? Its possible to add the sideview battler into the enemybook? Now i only see the placeholder. I hope you know what i mean


Or maybe add a command, that you can define a picture for this enemy

 

[DarkSearinox92]

Hi. There is a way that if you kill an enemy first time, the enemy enter in the enemybook automatically?

 

[Lionheart_84]

If I did that "EnemyBook maxkills", you could add into the enemy note box ??? it would be more practical!!!



And you can you can bring up on the battle background of the enemies it is killed, like in Final Fantasy !!!

 

[Skotty TV]

Hi. There is a way that if you kill an enemy first time, the enemy enter in the enemybook automatically?

The plugin should be set up like this by default o-O


Set the parameter "Fill Behavior" to "2".


Btw: Every parameter has 2 lines of help text in it if you double-click.


Try to read this first.

 

[styx92]

Are you fixing this? Or i have to deactivate the control text
