Template:VisuMZ Changelog 101 to 120

Version 1.72: December 15, 2022

Bug Fixes!
- RPG Maker MZ Bug Fix!
  - Skill List Active After Party Member Change
    - If the skill list is active (ie. the player can move the cursor around) and the party member currently being viewed is changed via the button commands, then previously, RPG Maker MZ would still have that window be active despite having the cursor hidden temporarily. Upon pressing direction buttons, the cursor reveals itself and both the skill type window and skill list window are both active, making way for lots of potential problems to happen.
- Water Tile Bug
  - It seems like there's a new bug that occurs if you create a tileset from scratch in RPG Maker MZ version 1.5.0+ and version 1.6.0+! What this bug does is it causes many tiles to become water tiles without intending to. You can find this out by turning off all the plugins in your project, putting a Ship or Boat on what are normally ground tiles, and then seeing the Ship or Boat traverse through it.
  - There are two ways to fix this. We cannot fix it through code in this plugin as it's a problem that involves the tileset json data there are ways to work around it so that you can get the proper water-flags to go where they need to be at.
    - 1. Copy a working un-bugged tileset onto the currently bugged one and reapply the tile features like passability, terrain tags, etc. This will make sure the water-passability tiles get copied over correctly.
    - 2. If you're on RPG Maker MZ version 1.5.0 or above, select a working un-bugged tileset (usually a pre-existing tileset when a new project is made), click the "Copy Page" button, go to the bugged tileset and press "Paste Page". You'll have to reapply any different properties like passabilities and terrain tags, but the water tile flags should now be working properly.
  - The plugin will not fix the problem itself since flag data is delicate and should not be tampered with midgame as the changes made by the plugin might not match the desired settings.
  - This plugin, however, will also send out an alert message when coming across such a tile. Pay attention to it and do one of the following two steps above to fix the problem.
Documentation Update!
- Added "Skill List Active After Party Member Change" section to the "Important Changes: Bug Fixes" section of the help file.
