Required Plugins

The following plugins are required in order to use this plugin.

Place the following plugins above this plugin located in the Plugin Manager.

• Core Engine
• Installing this plugin under YEP_CoreEngine
• RPG Maker MV version base code 1.4.0 or above
• Follow the instructions listed in the Help File's "Instructions" section

Yanfly Engine Plugins

This plugin is a part of the Yanfly Engine Plugins library.

Introduction

This plugin requires the following:
- YEP_CoreEngine plugin installed
- Installing this plugin under YEP_CoreEngine
- RPG Maker MV version base code 1.4.0 or above
- Follow the instructions listed in the Help File's "Instructions" section

Does your game project have at least base code (rpg_x.js) 1.4.0 or above?
And has RPG Maker MV updated past that, but you don't feel like updating the
base code manually, probably because you've made some edits to the code
itself? Yet, you still want to take advantage of the changes from the
version ups? This plugin will take care of that for you while keeping your
base code intact, while 'patching' the changes made from higher version ups.

This plugin also adds in the updates and new functions from the versions
leading up to 1.5.2 to ensure that your project has the most up to date
functions even if it is running 1.4.0. This way, you do not have to tamper
with the game project's base code files yourself.

Note: you will still have to download the newest Pixi libraries and to get
things working properly with this plugin. More will be explained in this
plugin's instructions section under the help file.

Instructions

If you have an old project that needs updating, do the following:

1. Make a backup of your project.
2. Create a new project or go to the "NewData" folder in your RPG Maker MV
   root folder (where RPG Maker MV is installed).
3. Copy the "libs" folder under "js" and replace the one in your old project.
4. Copy the new index.html file to your current project.
5. Update gamefont.css just in case.
6. Make sure you have the latest version of YEP_CoreEngine.js installed.
7. Install YEP_X_CoreUpdatesOpt.js (this plugin) under YEP_CoreEngine in the
   game project's Plugin Manager list.
8. Run your game!

Desktop Optimization Option

This plugin also includes Yanfly's Desktop Optimization base code changes
for those who wish to optimize their projects as primarily desktop-only
games. The reason behind such an option is that since the 1.5.0 update, RPG
Maker MV has added a lot of wonderful new features to the editor as a whole.
However, the base code has been updated such a way that RPG Maker MV games
favor mobile game optimization over desktop games. Because of this, RPG
Maker MV games running off 1.5.0 and up have strange issues when images are
loading unlike versions 1.4.0 and below.

This feature serves as a hybrid between the latest versions of RPG Maker MV
by utilizing the 1.4.0 source code that was better suited for desktop
optimization. This way, for developers who aim primarily at the development
of games for desktop, your games will be running as they did with the 1.4.0
base code while being able to make full use of the most recent updated RPG
Maker MV version's features!
