Note Editor

Note Editor
Version: 1.0
Author: modern algebra
Date: December 17, 2009

Version History

• <Version 1.0> 12.17.2009 - Original Release

Description

This script allows you to edit the note field of an item with script calls in-game. This is useful for editing features of other scripts that use the note field for adding features; this will allow you to add those features as part of the gameplay. The edits will only apply within the same game file, so the note field will be clean whenever the player starts a new game. It does not overwrite the regular note field - anything written in note field in the database will be permanent in every save file.

Features

• Allows you to add things to the note field
• Useful when using scripts that use note fields, as you can add those features to things in-game
• Can delete any of the added things from the note field - cannot alter the database note fields

Instructions

Paste this script into the editor below the default scripts but above Main

To use this script, simply use these codes in a call script:

  add_note (type, id, note)
    type : refers to the database tab you want to change the notes of. It is an integer, and broke down like this:
       0 => Item
       1 => Weapon
       2 => Armor
       3 => Skill
       4 => Enemy
       5 => State
    id   : the specific ID of the particular item, weapon, armor, skill, enemy, or state you want to edit the note field of.
    note : this is the string that you want to add to the note field.
 delete_note (type, id, note)
    type : same as for add_note
    id   : same as for add_note
    note : this is the note you want to delete. It can be either the  string itself, or it can be an integer if (and onlt if) you know the order it was added in - if you put in the integer 2 here, it will delete the third string you added to the item's note.

delete_note will only delete notes that have been added to the note field in-game - it will not delete notes you set in the database directly.

#
#    EXAMPLES:
#      add_note (0, 1, "new \\ note")
#        This would add "new \ note" to the note field of a potion (first item)
#      add_note (4, 6, "Default wisp")
#        This would add "Default wisp" to the note field of the sixth enemy in
#         the database (coincidentally a willowisp by default)
#      delete_note (2, 45, "\\CG[Evil, 5]")
#        This would delete the note "\CG[Evil, 5]" from the note field of the
#         45th weapon in the database if it had been added in-game through the
#         add_note script. It would not delete it if you set it in the database
#         itself.

Known Compatibility Issues

Spoiler for General Compatibility Patch:

Many, many scripts interpret notes only once upon the start of the game. This confounds the purpose of the Note Editor, as the changes to the notes will only impact the relevant scripts the next time the player starts up the game. Thus, I wrote this General Compatibility patch in an effort to take a number of the popular scripts that do this and "reset" the values whenever a note is changed, in order that the changes desired may take effect immediately. I apologize for its length, but I had to individually accomodate each script, and there are a lot of scripts as you will see.

The following scripts that do this are made compatible by this patch: (Note that this list only includes scripts that would not, by default, work properly with the Note Editor. The fact that a particular script is not included here does not imply that it is incompatible, as it may by compatible by default).

#    General Compatibility Patch for Note Editor
#    Version: 1.0
#    Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
#    Date: September 11, 2010
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Description:
#
#    A lot of scripts that use notes interpret them only once the game starts
#   up and this confounds the purpose of the Note Editor, since by the time the
#   notes are added, the data is already interpreted and loaded, and so the
#   additions will only be noticable upon reloading the game. This is a General
#   Compatibility Patch, intended to fix that problem by resetting the relevant
#   values when a new note is added for a number of popular scripts.
#
#    A lot of scripts that use note tags already work with the Note Editor. The
#   following list is only of those scripts that are not by default compatible
#   but are made compatible by using this compatibility patch. The fact that a
#   particular script is not included in this list does not mean that that
#   script is incompatible with the Note Editor. Anyway, the scripts that this
#   patch makes compatible are:
#      Actor-Specific Item Effects, by modern algebra
#      Advanced State Probability, by Mithran
#      Apply State Equipment, by modern algebra
#      Critical Skills, by Mithran
#      Cursed Equipment, by modern algebra
#      Element Efficiency States, by modern algebra
#      Grid Inventory, by modern algebra
#      KGC Categorize Item

#      KGC Limit Break
#      KGC Overdrive
#      KGC Rate Damage
#      KGC Reproduce Functions
#      KGC Reverse Damage State
#      KGC Slip Damage Extension

#      YERD Scene Battle Redux, by Yanfly
#      YERD Show Skill Fix, by Yanfly
#
#    Note that this is not tested with all of these. While I took care to make
#   sure that each data object has the values reset immediately upon changing
#   its note, this may not apply immediately if another more relevant object
#   has already inherited the value and saved it separately. For scripts that
#   do that, this compatibility patch will not be sufficient, even if that
#   script is included in the above list.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Instructions:
#
#    Simply place this script under the Note Editor.

Spoiler for Composite Characters:

If you change the note field of an item to add an extra graphic, it will not immediately show it on the character if it is currently equipped. To fix it, just add this script below both the Comp. Chars script and the Note Editor script in the Script Editor

Code: [Select]

class Game_Interpreter
  alias mrnal_compchars_nteditor_adnt_5fz2 add_note
  def add_note (type, *args)
    mrnal_compchars_nteditor_adnt_5fz2 (type, *args)

Author's Notes

I haven't really tested this script. But it should be fine.


This script by modern algebra is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 2.5 Canada License.

is there a day that modern doesn't create a script???

I haven't really tested this script. But it should be fine.

Look at such confidence in your work...

This is really good.
I wish there was this kind of script for XP

There aren't any note fields in XP

Whoa!

perfect as always, another script from you that i'm going to put on my game xD
this is really good for item upgrading o/

just have to learn how to make an "select item menu" and how to get the current equiped item now =p

When trying to run this script with "Item Drop Ranks" I get the error:

Script 'Note Editor' line 81: NoMethodError occurred.
Undefined method 'ma_added_notes' for nil:NilClass

I am able to run with either Note Editor or Item Drop Ranks, but not both.

For additional testing I have loaded only the two scripts above in a new game and get the same error.

Love your work!

Here, try replacing it with the following:

#==============================================================================
#  Note Editor
#  Version: 1.0
#  Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
#  Date: December 16, 2009
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Description:
#
#    This script allows you to edit the note field of an item with script calls
#   in-game. This is useful for editing features of other scripts that use the
#   note field for adding features; this will allow you to add those features
#   as part of the gameplay. The edits will only apply within the same game
#   file, so the note field will be clean whenever the player starts a new
#   game. It does not overwrite the regular note field - anything written in
#   note field in the database will be permanent in every save file.
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#  Instructions:
#
#    Paste this script into the editor below the default scripts but above Main
#
#    To use this script, simply use these codes in a call script:
#
#       add_note (type, id, note)
#         type : refers to the database tab you want to change the notes of.
#               It is an integer, and broke down like this:
#                 0 => Item
#                 1 => Weapon
#                 2 => Armor
#                 3 => Skill
#                 4 => Enemy
#                 5 => State
#         id   : the specific ID of the particular item, weapon, armor, skill,
#               enemy, or state you want to edit the note field of.
#         note : this is the string that you want to add to the note field.
#       delete_note (type, id, note)
#         type : same as for add_note
#         id   : same as for add_note
#         note : this is the note you want to delete. It can be either the
#               string itself, or it can be an integer if (and onlt if) you
#               know the order it was added in - if you put in the integer 2
#               here, it will delete the third string you added to the item's
#               note.
#
#  delete_note will only delete notes that have been added to the note field
# in-game - it will not delete notes you set in the database directly.
#
#    EXAMPLES:
#      add_note (0, 1, "new \\ note")
#        This would add "new \ note" to the note field of a potion (first item)
#      add_note (4, 6, "Default wisp")
#        This would add "Default wisp" to the note field of the sixth enemy in
#         the database (coincidentally a willowisp by default)
#      delete_note (2, 45, "\\CG[Evil, 5]")
#        This would delete the note "\CG[Evil, 5]" from the note field of the
#         45th weapon in the database if it had been added in-game through the
#         add_note script. It would not delete it if you set it in the database
#         itself.

I should note that the two scripts probably won't work together very well though as is The IDR saves what the ranks of items are in an array as soon as the game loads up, which means changes to item ranks in the notes will only be reflected after the player shuts down the game and then returns to it.

If you wish to use the Note Editor to affect drop ranks, I can write a fix for you; just say the word.

Thank you for the speedy reply and quick solution!

I mostly just wanted to be able to run both scripts at the same time, hadn't even thought about using the note editor to change the drop rates. I would definitely use that ability if it didn't rely on reloading.

Thanks again 

Well, the IDR already contains an option that you can set the rank of the item to be tied to a variable, so you are able to change the rank in game that way

well thank you modern algebra... do you still knew me??? its me ASCIIgod at RRR... nice work

GREAT, COOL AND MASTERIOUS SCRIPT...

Oh well... I have a problem with this and your "enemy stat variance" script :/

maybe it's the tankentai script? (i'm using kaduki's tankentai) but the enemy variance was working...


the problem I get is that the enemys just ignore the new notes I put into then... they appear with the same stats from the database

ps: the enemy variance DO work if I put the code direct in the DB, but it doesn't when I use this script to add tags

ps2: I have tons of script but the only battle related is the tankentai ;/


====Edit

yeah, I did a test right now on a new project and this script doesn't work or is incompatible with yanfly's synthesis ;/

Well, I'm not on a computer where I can test them out, but you have to remember that to make a backslash in a "" string, you have to use \\. So, instead of just:

Code: [Select]

add_note (4, 1, "\variance_hp[20]")


it has to be:

Code: [Select]

add_note (4, 1, "\\variance_hp[20]")


That seems like the most likely thing to be going wrong, but I will test it out once I'm on a comp that I can.

Yeah that was the problem xD

thanx for the help modern o/

Hello. I know it's been a while, but you mentioned that the note changes don't register until the player shuts down and reboots. I'm wondering if you'd be able to change this so the note updates whilst the player plays the game.

I'm using the YERD Skill Slot script and I'd love to be able to change the notes of a skill to change a passive skill's bonus.

This way I won't have to keep making new skills of the same skill but gradually getting better, I can just add a new note giving the extra boost

I'd be grateful for any help with this. Thank you for reading. (Just say if anything's not clear enough and I'll try to elaborate )

SeeM.

EDIT: I'm using the altered version of this script with the Drop Ranks compatibility in case you needed to know.

Well, notes do register immediately upon editing them though. The problem arises in that most scripts that use note fields only interpret them once upon startup or when they're first accessed.
There's nothing I could do to this script to fix that problem; I would need a link to the YERD script and edit that script.

Ah I get you.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mhkmzzdwzcz

There's a link to the script.

I've written a large Compatibility patch for this script, as many, many scripts interpret notes only once upon the start of the game. This confounds the purpose of the Note Editor, as the changes to the notes will only impact the relevant scripts the next time the player starts up the game. Thus, I wrote this General Compatibility patch in an effort to take a number of the popular scripts that do this and "reset" the values whenever a note is changed, in order that the changes desired may take effect immediately. I apologize for its length, but I had to individually accomodate each script, and there are a lot of scripts as you will see.

The following scripts that do this are made compatible by this patch: (Note that this list only includes scripts that would not, by default, work properly with the Note Editor. The fact that a particular script is not included here does not imply that it is incompatible, as it may by compatible by default).

#   notes are added, the data is already interpreted and loaded, and so the
#   additions will only be noticable upon reloading the game. This is a General
#   Compatibility Patch, intended to fix that problem by resetting the relevant
#   values when a new note is added for a number of popular scripts.
#
#    A lot of scripts that use note tags already work with the Note Editor. The
#   following list is only of those scripts that are not by default compatible
#   but are made compatible by using this compatibility patch. The fact that a
#   particular script is not included in this list does not mean that that
#   script is incompatible with the Note Editor. Anyway, the scripts that this
#   patch makes compatible are:
#      Actor-Specific Item Effects, by modern algebra
#      Advanced State Probability, by Mithran
#      Apply State Equipment, by modern algebra
#      Critical Skills, by Mithran
#      Cursed Equipment, by modern algebra
#      Element Efficiency States, by modern algebra
#      Grid Inventory, by modern algebra
#      KGC Categorize Item

#      KGC Reverse Damage State

#      Learn Skills By Use, by modern algebra

#
#    Note that this is not tested with all of these. While I took care to make
#   sure that each data object has the values reset immediately upon changing
#   its note, this may not apply immediately if another more relevant object
#   has already inherited the value and saved it separately. For scripts that
#   do that, this compatibility patch will not be sufficient, even if that
#   script is included in the above list.

Thank you for your hard work MA You're an awesome guy.

Wow. An unbelievable update MA. This gives me the creative freedom I was looking for to power many of my ideas! Thank you again kind sir.

I apologize for some serious necroposting but I found an issue that isn't solved by your compatibility patch:

Information:

I have pasted the script and its compatibility above the following scripts that are listed in the compatibility script documentation such as:

• YEM Equipment Overhaul, by Yanfly
• YEM Item Overhaul, by Yanfly
• YERD Custom Damage Formula, by Yanfly
• YERD Enemy Level Control, by Yanfly

** These scripts are not listed in the order they are in my game.

so essentially the script and its compatibility sit above ALL my script to make sure its the first one run (from my understanding). How ever:

-- See Image Attached --

I still get this issue....which from this forum thread should have been fixed by your compatibility patch - but wasn't.

Ideas?

Well, no, in terms of general script order, both the script and its compatibility patch should be below other custom scripts, not above them. However, the problem in this case doesn't stem from script order.

My best guess is that one of your other scripts is calling the note method of an item or skill before $game_system has been defined. Given that it could be any script you have and not necessarily the four listed, it would not be ideal to tailor a fix in terms of a particular incompatibility. No matter what script is incompatible though, it should be fixed by inserting the following lines.

Go to the Note Editor Script (not the Compatibility Patch). Go to around line 80 and see:

oh heya guys its me ASCIIgod from RRR... also Tamahome_zitser from prg maker vx community. so maybe ill go "off the topic" for a little bit. see i got the DnD system for GTBS... making my game based on the old and well renowned DnD. so i got everything set up i even fixed it so it will work with actor clone... so here is my problem now... after making my own stats and adjust everything code-wise, i made 1 trial weapon to test it in action. however there seem to be a bit of error... i found it here at Dmg Formula: inside def self.get_dv(value)... the error is that when i start my game it let me go in the new game but after that it crashes... it says undefined method delete for nilclass. if i do recall that error is caused by some sort of alias failure...  but it cant be alias failure as for it is a new def... the error direct me to this line

a = value[/[\d*]+/].delete('d').to_i
b = value[/d[\d*]+/].delete('d').to_i <<<< that line
result = [a, b]

i cant seem to find the error in this for i dont know how to read that kind of code...

can you lend me a hand here MA buddy

Err, I'm not sure what that has to do with the Note Editor. Can you clarify?
