VisuStella MZ This plugin is a part of the VisuStella MZ Plugin Library. Click here if you want to help support VisuStella on Patreon. Introduction Sometimes text appears way too fast in the battle system or sometimes players may miss what kind of information was delivered on-screen. For times like that, being able to access the Combat Log would be important. The Combat Log records all of the text that appears in the battle log window at the top. The player can access the Combat Log display any time during action selection phase or by holding down the designated Hot Key. Sometimes, players can even review over the Combat Log to try and figure out any kinds of patterns enemies may even have. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Record the events that happen in battle into an accessible Combat Log for players to go back and review. Access the Combat Log in-battle through the Party Command Window, Actor Command Window, or by holding down the Hot Key. Icons are added to help players quickly differentiate between different types of events. Combat Log can have its numbers color-coded to quickly determine their effects towards action targets. Players can review past Combat Logs from an option in the Main Menu. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Tier 4 This plugin is a Tier 4 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library. Extra Features There are some extra features found if other VisuStella MZ plugins are found present in the Plugin Manager list. --- Battle Core VisuStella MZ The VisuStella MZ Battle Core's <Battle Commands> notetag can now add in "Combat Log" to its list to have the Combat Log shown as an option to the Actor Command Window. Do remember to have this option enabled in the Plugin Parameters as well. --- Message Core VisuStella MZ By having the VisuStella MZ Message Core installed, you can enable the Auto Color functions for the Combat Log. Do remember to have this option enabled in the Plugin Parameters as well. --- Notetags RPG Maker MZ's editor is unable to allow for custom traits/properties that a game dev may wish to associate with a database object, event, map, etc. Notetags are used to work around such limitations by allowing the game dev to tag certain traits/properties using specific Notetags declared by the related plugin. Here is a list of Notetag(s) that you may use. The following are notetags that have been added through this plugin. These notetags will not work with your game if this plugin is OFF or not present. --- Bypass-Related Notetags --- <Bypass Combat Log> - Used for: State Notetags - Insert this notetag inside a state to make its state messages ignored. --- Plugin Commands Plugin Commands are event commands that are used to call upon functions added by a plugin that aren't inherently a part of RPG Maker MZ.
