Whenever I try to test your plugin I get this message. Can you tell me what I did wrong. I would really appreciate that. Thank you.
That's a line of code from YEP_BattleEngineCore. Last I've tested, it should be compatible with his core engine & battle core plugins. Put my plugin below his.
Now I'm getting this error message. I saw in your "how to install," that I needed to move this file under the img folder, but this file doesn't exist. There is an sv_actors folder but not an fv_actors one. Do I need to make one? And thanks for answer my replies and helping me with this, I really appreciate it.
Yes, make an fv_actors folder inside the img folder and put your battler images there.
The animation plays without error but it always animates here. I tried changing the animation and where its targeted but it always stays right here or barely on screen. I even tried changing the animation to Center or Screen and while it works for the enemies it doesn't for the player.
Here are the plugins I have and where they're placed. Could this be the issue?
Or do I need to adjust the parameters?
The animation will play wherever the sprite is located as long as the position isn't set to 'Screen'. You can offset the sprite with the Sprite Offset X/Y parameters. If you suspect it's being caused by a plugin incompatibility, then you can try turning off the other plugins to find the erring plugin.
Also, the latest version is v.1.2.
Have you tried putting this plugin high on the list?
This plugin does not need to be on high priority, so put it on top, it kindda crashed to me if I put it on high priority, but works perfectly if I got it on lower priority
I got it to work thanks. I had a similar issue. Thanks anyway for the response.
Sorry for being late, but I must ask, does this plugin makes "Screen animations" and enemy attacks visible?
That would be a massive life saver
Yes.
Wait, it also does with "Screen Animations"? like, the ones that use all the screen
Yes.
Sorry if its annoying, I just have a question
Is it posible to remove the Names from the window?
I think it would be perfect for me
There's a name offset parameter there. Put 9999 to shift it out of view.
