Isn't XYZ plugin free in the [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]] freebie bundle but a paid plugin in the [[VisuStella MZ]] library? What gives!?" | | Now, I know some of you are able to look through that list and go "Hey, wait a minute!

| − | Great question! Let's go through that! | + | Great question! |
| | + | But that isn't the main purpose of this article. |
| | + | This article is just to show you which [[VisuStella MZ]] Core plugins contain which [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]]. |
| | | | |
| | + | [[Why Some Free MV Plugins Became Paid|If you really want to know why certain plugins became paid, read about it here.]] |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | == Why Certain Plugins Became Paid Plugins ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | These are the plugins that became paid plugins from [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]]' freebie bundle going into [[VisuStella MZ]].
| + | == What is Actually Included == |
| − | | |
| − | * [[Action Sequence Pack 3 (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Battle System - ATB (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Battle System - CTB (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Battle System - STB (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Battle A.I. Core (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Victory Aftermath (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Skill Cooldowns (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Event Chase Player (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Quest Journal System (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Patch Notes (YEP)]]
| |
| − | * [[Dragonbones Integration (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Below, I'll be explaining why they did not make the cut to go and become part of the [[VisuStella MZ]] Cores.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Action Sequence Pack 3 === | |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:YEP.006.jpg|300px|link=Action Sequence Pack 3 (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Those familiar with [[Action Sequence Pack 3 (YEP)]] will know that it's the one responsible for camera panning and zooming.
| |
| − | This plugin was later remade into [[Action Sequence Camera VisuStella MZ]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The reasoning behind not including it in the Battle Core (whereas Action Sequence Packs 1 and 2 are included in [[Battle Core VisuStella MZ|VisuStella MZ's Battle Core]]) is because of non-VisuStella MZ plugins.
| |
| − | We know that there are many of you who prefer to use [https://mogplugins.wordpress.com/ Mog Hunter]'s libraries for their visual effects and the battle camera is one of them.
| |
| − | However, we also know that external battle camera plugins are extremely likely to conflict with our own.
| |
| − | Therefore, instead of making the using them together with the [[Battle Core VisuStella MZ|Battle Core]] an uphill battle, we separated the camera effects into a different plugin for more compatibility.
| |

| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Battle Systems - ATB, CTB, STB ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:YEP.024.jpg|300px|link=Battle System - ATB (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:YEP.038.jpg|300px|link=Battle System - CTB (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:YEP.130.jpg|300px|link=Battle System - STB (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | These battle system plugins were added to the [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]]' freebie bundle for a simple reason: they have discontinued support.
| |
| − | You can [[Discontinued Battle Plugin Support (YEP)|read here for the reasons why]].
| |
| − | It would make very little sense to include them in any other pack for freebie bundle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The other thing is, it makes very little sense to package entire battle systems into the [[Battle Core VisuStella MZ|Battle Core]] even if they cannot be used without it.
| |
| − | This is because games tend to use only one battle system and having the [[Battle Core VisuStella MZ|Battle Core]] pack multiple battle systems inside of it adds unnecessary amounts of bulk.
| |
| − | Especially if the user is to pick only one of the many.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Battle A.I. Core ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:YEP.016.jpg|300px|link=Battle A.I. Core (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[Battle A.I. Core (YEP)|Battle A.I. Core]] was remade into the [[Battle AI VisuStella MZ|Battle A.I.]] plugin for [[VisuStella MZ]].
| |
| − | The reason why it was not included in the VisuStella [[Battle Core VisuStella MZ|Battle Core]] is because it affected enemy behavior too much for what should otherwise be straightforward to use from the RPG Maker MZ editor.
| |
| − | Another reason why this especially was not included was because the new [[Battle AI VisuStella MZ|Battle A.I.]] was planned to incorporate the AI list straight into what the editor used for '''Action Patterns''' and the change would likely confuse new game devs as to why enemies aren't acting according to plan.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | === Victory Aftermath ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:YEP.007.jpg|300px|link=Victory Aftermath (YEP)]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]] version of [[Victory Aftermath (YEP)|Victory Aftermath]] is not the same as [[VisuStella MZ]]'s version of [[Victory Aftermath VisuStella MZ|Victory Aftermath]].
| |
| − | Instead, the [[VisuStella MZ]] version of it is from [[Victory Sequence UI (Olivia)]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Other reasons why the [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]] version was not included is because other non-VisuStella plugins also offering victory screens.
| |
| − | Yes, people use non-VisuStella plugins, too, especially if they want their game to look different in certain aspects.
| |
| − | The victory screen is one of them.
| |
| − | For proof, look at how many people flocked to [[Victory Sequence UI (Olivia)]] while [[Victory Aftermath (YEP)|Victory Aftermath]] existed as a free option.
| |
| − | Having the [[Victory Aftermath (YEP)|Victory Aftermath]] plugin as a part of the [[Battle Core VisuStella MZ|Battle Core]] would add unnecessary complications for users.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another reason why the [[Yanfly Engine Plugins]] version was not included was because towards the end of MV's lifespan, there were a growing number of complaints about [[Victory Aftermath (YEP)|Victory Aftermath]].
| |
| − | These complaints mainly had to do with how many button presses there are needed to in order to leave the screen, despite the fact it already reduced the number of button presses needed.
| |
| − | However, it is still a valid complaint as [[Olivia]]'s version of the [[Victory Sequence UI (Olivia)|victory screen]] sped up the process considerable.
