ALL bug reports MUST follow these guidelines and use this template: 


Plugin Name: (What is the name of the plugin?)


Bug Explanation: (What is the bug in your own words? Keep this detailed. "It isn't working right" is not a valid bug report.)


Error Report: (If you received an error message, press F8 when the message is received to open up the debug console, then copy/paste the entire error log and paste it here).


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug: (Write out IN DETAIL, a step-by-step guide on how to replicate the bug.)


Sample Project (REQUIRED): A sample project MUST be attached to the bug report. All steps MUSTbe followed. If a single step is ignored, the bug report is invalid and I will move on to the next bug report.


Follow these Instructions. All steps MUST be followed or I will require you to redo it.


1. Download all the newest updates of the plugin.2. Create a new project. Do NOT just copy over your game project folders. This should be just a stock, empty, new RPG Maker MV project. If I do not see an empty project with Harold, Therese, Marsha, and Lucius, I will not look any further.3. If the project's file size is above 200 MB, remove unnecessary audio and image files until you reach that size. Usehttp://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/47985-mvstripper-remove-unused-assets-from-your-mv-project/ if you need some help doing so.4. Install -only- the affected plugins. If you're using non-YEP plugins, do NOT include them. That said, both ATB and CTB are no longer supported by Yanfly, so if you're using them, please remove them from the project used for the bug report.5. Do -NOT- rename the plugins' filenames. They cease to work if you do so.6. Make sure they're in the EXACT order listed on http://yanfly.moe/yep/. The ordering of plugins is important.7. Recreate the error in the sample project. MAKE SURE you are using notetags in the right place and haven't misspelled anything. DO NOT USE SAVES. I need to know exactly how to recreate the problem from start to finish. Simply giving me a save file tells me nothing.8. Archive the project with WinZip or WinRAR. Do not archive it multiple times. It does not compress it further.9. Do -NOT- deploy the project through File > Deployment. Upload the project online to a website like MediaFire.com or or Dropbox. Please do not use a website that involves timers like 4shared, RapidShare, etc. If I am time-gated from downloading the project, I will ask you to reupload it to somewhere else.10. Post the link here and I'll take a look at it.

Bug Report


Plugin Name: YEP_X_ActSeqPack2


Bug Explanation: I am following your steps to add a Jump attack 'a la' FINAL FANTASY IV, however, I am using Front View Battle System, and I am making it so an Enemy uses the skill. The actual bug is that a couple of Action Sequences seem to have no effect. To be specific the following actions don't do anything:

• camera focus: user
  
• zoom: 150%
  
• float user: 495%, 20
  

Bonus: While not present in the demo I provided, the same is true for move user.


Error Report: None


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug: 

1. Start the game
   
2. Talk to the NPC
   
3. Just Guard and look at the Jump action not match the action sequence defined for it
   
4. Look in Database -> Skills -> 009 Jump -> Note field
   

Sample Project (REQUIRED): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46654731/BugReport.zip

That's because frontview has floating, jumping, and zooming disabled. I'll update the documentation to reflect that in the future update. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

To make a bug report, simply report it in this thread. Chances are, I will find out about the bug in this thread than by making one in the JS Support forum.

NOTE: I'll only provide support for my own plugins and code that I, myself, have provided. This isn't because I disrespect other plugin makers or anything of the sort. If I did, I wouldn't go so far as to maximize compatibility with my plugins when possible. The reason behind is because of my lack of time, and I'd like to put my undivided attention to errors caused by my own plugins. That said, any modifications you've made to the plugins itself, any custom Lunatic Mode code you've made yourself that isn't provided by me, or problems with the source code will not be supported by me either.


NOTE2: As I've stated before in the previous note, I'll only provide support for my own codes that I, myself, have provided. To make this clear, this means strictly the plugins I've made and any code for Lunatic Mode that I, personally, have provided through Tips & Tricks. I am not responsible for any coding errors, coding roadblocks, or code questions that you come across within your own Lunatic Mode code. Unless the Lunatic Mode notetag itself has a bug, you are to ask your questions here.


NOTE3: However, as an exception to NOTE2, this does not mean I am going to explain to you how to use all the various functions inside of my plugins. If a function added by my plugins is not listed in the Help File, it means I do not deem that function to be used for script calls. Therefore, if you choose a function outside of the ones listed in the help files to use in a script call, I am NOT responsible for it not working properly for you. No script call support will be provided for functions not listed within the help file.

WHY I NEED A CLEAN SAMPLE PROJECT FOR BUG REPORTS:
​

If you're wondering why I make it an absolute requirement for sample projects containing to be made, it's because in the past, I've chased and hunted bugs that do not exist either because a user had a conflicting error with a non-Yanfly plugin, has not updated the plugins, using the plugin incorrectly, or think something is a bug when it really isn't. The amount of time I've wasted chasing these "bugs" is unfathomable as that time could have been spent developing new content. To mitigate this issue, I made it an absolute requirement for bugs to be reported in such a manner because of the following:

1. It makes the user go through all of the troubleshooting steps to reduce the amount of user errors. If the user identifies it as a user error, then the user would also have gained troubleshooting skills, which are essential for game development.
   
2. Isolate the bugs caused by Yanfly plugins away from non-Yanfly plugins. As stated above, I do not provide support for non-Yanfly plugins due to my lack of time to create compatibility patches for non-Yanfly plugins. Having over 100+ plugins, making a compatibility patch for each one of those with every other plugin out there is absolute insanity.
   
3. It shows that the user is serious about getting the bug fixed as I am. Being able to put out time to isolate a problem so it can be fixed means the user is serious about getting their game made. As a user's time is important to them, my time is also important to me, and this is our mutual agreement to get things done cooperatively.
   

Thank you for understanding.

BASIC TROUBLE SHOOTING
​

1. Are all your plugins up to date? If they're not, download the updated versions from here: http://yanfly.moe/yep/changelog/


2. Did you rename any of their plugins from their default filenames? If you did, then the plugins won't work. Do NOT rename them.


3. Did you make sure all of the plugins are placed in order as http://yanfly.moe/yep/ inside of the Plugin Manager?


4. When you updated the plugin, did you /open up/ the plugin within the Plugin Manager? 


You are getting the error because you updated the plugin and did not go into the plugin itself like the instructions here in the first video: http://yanfly.moe/yep/changelog/


Why is this important? Because whenever new parameters are added to a plugin upon a new update, you have to enter the plugin in order for the Plugin Manager to add those new parameters into your game. Otherwise, you will get undefined errors and "random" crashes. Skipping that step is not optional and is very crucial to getting updated plugins to work.


5. If you are using non-Yanfly plugins, turn off ALL of the non-Yanfly plugins to see if there are any conflicts.


6. If you are testing your project in Battle Test and aren't seeing any changes made after updating your plugin, make sure you -save- your project. RPG Maker MV does not carry over changes to Battle Test until you save your project.


F.A.Q. ABOUT ATB AND CTB PLUGINS


The ATB and CTB plugins are custom battle systems that do NOT involve a turn-based system that you're used to with the default turn-based battle system (DT. They function off of a tick-based system, which means it does not work off standard means. This also means you have to adjust either the plugin or your game to fit these means. Here are some frequently reported "issues" with the system. None of these are bugs so do not report them as bugs.

• If ATB bars are taking too long to fill up, then change your battlers' AGI values to higher or change the plugin parameters to fit your game.
  
• If ATB states are dropping in turns too quickly, this is because you didn't adjust the proper state turn settings within the Battle Engine Core to fit your game.
  
• For ATB, no, I will NOT make Active Mode. It's not because I can't (I've made it before in VX's Yanfly Engine Melody). It's because RPG Maker MV's code structure for the battle system makes it more likely to break everything if it does so. If this is something you absolutely need, the Plugin Request Forum is your place to visit, if DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB Core(which is at least compatible with my Battle Engine Core with the compatibility fix) can't meet your demands already.
  
• If there is "lag" between CTB turns, this isn't because of the plugin. This is because your low AGI values is making the game go through hundreds to thousands of CTB updates per tick. Once again, either you increase the AGI values or change the plugin parameters to fit your 
  
• In CTB, States "skipping" multiple turns when updating isn't a bug. It is because in between the previous battler next battler, there was a huge gap in time, enough to go through two state turn cycles. Adjust the state turn settings within the Battle Engine Core to fit your game.
  
• For CTB, no, I will NOT make multiple instances of turn icons appearing for multiple actors. If you want something like that made, you can request it in the Plugin Request Forum.
  

If all of these issues are beyond you, then I'm afraid the ATB and CTB plugins aren't for you. As a developer, it is your responsibility to understand the plugins and systems you are using. You are not doing your players any favor by using a system that you, yourself, do not fully comprehend. I will not educate anyone how ATB and CTB systems work. My plugins work based on the ATB and CTB systems of existing Final Fantasy games with slight tweaks to fit RPG Maker MV's system. Please study them on your own accord. 

Putting this on the new page.

No worries, thanks for your quick reply!

Not sure if this is a bug related to your script or the new upgrade to rpgmaker mv with the pixi upgrade just figure id post it here since it occurs if your script is enabled and a plugin parameter is changed.


Rpgmaker  Version 1.3


Plugin Name: Yep_CoreEngine v1.16


Bug Explanation: Simply with only the above script enabled if you modify the screen width or height to say for example 1280 x 720. When test playing you get black bars randomly appearing at the corners of the screen when moving down and across on a scrollable map. If your script is enabled but default resolution no such error occurs and the same if your script is disabled. Depending on the resolution you set seems to affect the severity of the black box appearance when navigating a map.


Error Report: N/A


Exact Steps on How to Replicate Bug: Start test play and walk or run south, then walk right it'll be noticeable fairly immediately.


Sample Project (REQUIRED): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/435b6shykb1thk2/AAAUFaySbvkPC8U5UyMiazNDa?dl=0


Thanks again for your time and wonderful plugins.

Thanks for reporting this. However, this bug isn't caused by the Core Engine, but rather a bug with Pixi4's tilemap. It's getting resolved as we speak.

 

[The Strange Man]

Hi Yanfly. I won't ask you to make it next because I'm sure you have stuff you're working on, but I would like to know if you plan to recreate your Free-Turn Battle system from VXAce sometime in the future.

Tips & Tricks - Earth Shield (World of WarCraft) - RPG Maker MV










Earth Shield is a skill from World of WarCraft that does a number of things. When used, it will have 9 charges. If the unit takes damage or receives healing, a charge will be consumed. Upon taking damage, the user then receives healing equal to 50% of the caster's MAT. If the unit is healed, then the healing done is increased by 20%. What a flexible status effect! This video will show you how to recreate this effect in RPG Maker MV!


You can grab the copy/paste code here:

Enjoy!

Yanfly, just a quick note. I have this warning in the Developer Tools since I updated the RPG Maker MV to 1.3.1:

I've updated the YEP_CoreEngine to the latest version (v1.16), but I still have the warning. Currently, everything looks fine with the plugin and no problems have appeared in the project, only that warning.

 

[Anonymous12345]

This is not a bug but I want want to ask you.


Hey Yanfly, can I use your plugins to make a paid game?


P/S: I'll leave your name in credits.

Yes you can. As per my Terms of Use: 


Any original material made by Yanfly is free for use with both free and commercial RPG Maker games unless specified otherwise. I do not demand royalties or special liberties if you choose to use Yanfly original content in your commercial games. (Although a free copy of your game would be nice!) I only ask that you provide “Yanfly” or “Yanfly Engine” a spot in your game’s credits.


Any edits made to Yanfly original material are okay as long as you still provide the proper credit. Any non-Original content posted, linked, or shared on my website and channel will still require you to contact the respective parties for permission of use.


I think this is simple. I’d like to keep it simple. I ask of you, as users, to please do not do things that will make me complicate it for everyone.


Happy RPG Making!


Good luck on your game!

 

[Little Adventurer]

That Earth Shield would make a really good dual tech skill between my Wizard and Healer!

For those who updated 1.3.0+, here are the YEP plugins that needed updating for it:

Huh... this is odd. For some reason my text code from your Message Pack that lowers/raises the pitch of my letter sounds isn't triggering... Like, I tested my Intro map and in my event I wrote the pitch for the first line of dialogue to be 110, while the next line is 80 (this being a conversation, canonically, between a man and his young daughter) to give the characters different "voices"... but the pitch isn't lowering or raising, it's all the same pitch (whatever this pitch is anyway) which is just weird. And the pitch it's at when not with the text code doesn't sound like the original 100 pitch either, sounds deeper.


Everything else is working fine though. Huh. Maybe I can try it in a new project? *tests* Yeah, my pitch works fine there. Huh... weird.
