This page contains the most up-to-date versions of all of Liam's RPGMaker scripts. Currently all of these scripts are made for RPGMaker VX Ace, but that may change someday in the future.
The commenting in these scripts will seem excessive to anyone familiar with programming, but the reason for that is that the vast majority of people these scripts are designed for will not be familiar with programming. These scripts are intended to be commented in a way where even someone who has no knowledge in programming might be able to make a few tweaks to get the script to work the way they want it to.
If you would like to talk to me for whatever reason, whether it is to commission a new script, report bugs, or learn RPGMaker scripting yourself, I have a RPGMaker scripting focused discord server you can join through the following link: https://discord.gg/JgaBenr
SCRIPT INFO:
Current Version: 1.0
Changelog:
v1.0 Changelog:
- This is the first version of this script posted here
Description:
This script allows you to force events to not "lock" into place and stop animating when interacting with them. This is done using event comment notetags, and the force unlock can be done per event page, or for the entire event. Force unlocking an event allows you to ensure that continuous event animations won't be interrupted.

REQUIRES THE "Extra Save Data" SCRIPT!
Current Version: 1.0
Changelog:
v1.0 Changelog:
- This is the first version of this script posted here
Description:
This script addon allows you to create extra region effect sets that you can change between during gameplay runtime with a script call as well as additional extra features for these extra region effect sets like extra customization of the pitch/volume variance for sound effects. The region effect set from the original script is the default region effect set that is used and can still be accessed. When this default set is active it has the special behaviour of basically turning the extra features of this script addon "off" for that set (namely pitch/volume variance). This means that you should not use the original script's region effect set if you always want to have the additonal features of this addon active. Some maps can have special region effect sets that are used when the player transfers into the map, and when the player is no longer in a special region effect set map the active region effect will change back to the last non-special-map one. Lastly, random region effects can be used which will pull a random effect from a specified list of effects.

THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT WAS MADE BY Himeworks AND CAN BE FOUND AT THIS LINK: https://himeworks.com/2013/03/large-troops/
This rework replaces the original script rather than adding on to it, so use either this rework OR the original script and NOT both.
Additionally, as this script rework uses all of the original source code, Himeworks' license also applies to this rework in addition to my own.

Current Version: 1.0
Changelog:
v1.0 Changelog:
- This is the first version of this script posted here
Description:
This script rewrite of Himeworks' Large Troops script changes the handling of troop event pages for troops which extend a parent/host troop. This rewrite fixes some existing issues with the original script such as failing to account for particular event commands and the troop event page conditionals. It does this by ensuring the correct enemy troop members are dealt with in extended troop event pages. This script rewrite also makes script calls in extended troop events sourced from other scripts work correctly.

v1.0.1 Changelog:
- Added discord and github link
Description:
This script allows you to play animations once in the center of the screen rather that having it repeat for each target. Before this script, you could set animation's positions to "Screen" to partially solve this problem, however, even if you can't see the animation play multiple times since the animations are overlaid on top of each other, the sounds used in the animation can still be noticably heard playing over each other. This script prevents those animation sounds from playing over each other.

v1.0 Changelog:
- This is the first version of this script posted here
Description:
This script allows you to use 2 kinds of transitions when changing enemy battler sprite images. Notably, you can now change battler sprite images without having to use the Transformation command using script calls. The first type of transition is a fade transition where the old battler sprite image fades out and the new one fades in. The second transition is a battle animation transition where the old battler image is hidden (or not) while a specified battle animation plays and then the new battler image appears at the end of the animation. Both transitions can be used with the Transformation command and the new alternative to the Transformation command. It is also possible to use no transition.

v1.1.3 Changelog:
- Fixed an issue where gun misfiring was causing a crash
v1.1.4 Changelog:
- Added discord and github link
Description:
This script turns the MP system into a guns and ammunition system. This system is meant for use with guns, but can also be used to represent ammo/aiming abilities for other kinds of weapons, like grenade launchers, bows, slingshots, etc. The MP bar represents the ammo count. "Guns" have a name, a type, ammo data, skills that are tied to them, etc. Additionally, there is one new notetagged parameter, GHIT or Gun HITchance, which determines how accurate "magical" (meaning gun-based) attacks are.
IMAGES:
Here is an image that shows how guns display their ammo count in their names.

Description:
This script allows you to prevent enemies/actors from using skills that they would no longer to be able to use when states are applied to them that restrict skill usability. This is done normally with the engine's base script, but this makes sure the moves are correct even in edge-case situations. Additionally, after the skill usability restricting moves are used on a battler with this script, a replacement skill for the now-unusable skill can be used.

v1.0.2 Changelog:

v1.1 Changelog:
- Fixed critical issues in the script which made it unable to properly function. Due to coding errors, the total xp pool was being modified rather than the xp gained in one instance. The script now correctly increases xp gains.
- Made the "Change Level" event command unaffected by experience rubberbanding
- Added option to make the "Change EXP" event command be unaffected by experience rubberbanding
- Added the option to make reserve/non-active partymembers be unaffected by experience rubberbanding
- Simplified the existing script calls for changing the script settings
- Fixed various typos and updated the formatting of the script comments
- Added compatibility for Yanfly's "Victory Aftermath" script so it displays the correct xp gain amounts
Description:
This script applies 'rubberbanding' to experience gain. It lets you set (and may set by itself) an "xp leader" for the rubberbanding to be based off of (which will likely be a main character). XP bonuses are applied to party members who are varying amounts of levels behind the party leader, and the bonuses can be set to scale up as the amount of levels behind the leader increases.

Description:
This script turns the first savefile in the list of savefiles in the game directory into a quicksave/autosave hybrid savefile that can only be accessed in the load menu (and not the normal save menu). Autosaves can be enabled to occur either when a specified switch is turned to true, or on map transition. Quicksaves can be enabled to occur with the press of a specified button. Additionally, the quicksave file can be quickloaded with the press of a different specified button.

v1.0.2 Changelog:
- Added discord and github link
Description:
The script provides a framework for adding more data onto savefiles. By default, the data added is game difficulty, although you can add more data by copying versions of the previous methods/variables and editing the names/values. game_party is used to store data because data stored there is stored in save data and can be accessed outside of normal gameplay (since it needs to be used on the title screen).
This script is difficult to use without prior scripting knowledge

v1.1.1 Changelog:
- Added discord and github link
Description:
This script allows you to save any kind of data (true/false values, numbers, etc.) to specific save files. This data is accessed using particular names attached to the pieces of data. This script generally exists for other scripts to utilize, although it can be used on its own. This is useful for scripts as an alternative to using game_variable, since the player needing to keep track of 5+ game_variables they now cannot use per script can get confusing and hard to remember.

v1.2.1 Changelog:
- Fixed issues in the script call methods for user persistent data making the calls not function properly
- Fixed issue with clearing out the cached user persistent data values when loading persistent data to due to an error in the programming
Description:
This script allows you to save any kind of data (true/false values, numbers, etc.) across all save files using a generated file stored in a directory/folder you specify. This persistent data can be retrieved and changed in map events. Persistant data is accessed by using particular names you can set. This is useful for updating title screens after certain game milestones/achievements, doing 4th wall breaking things, etc. This script may be used to other scripts or by itself.

- Built-in support for ropes (multiple kinds, including wall-climbing style ropes) using terrain tags. Additionally, no common events are needed
- Followers can now use ropes
- There is now a script call for both checking the outfit of the player, and for checking the outfit of an actor
v1.1.1 Changelog:
- Fixed a small mistake in how follower rope pathfinding works for "ropes" that only go horizontally
- Added discord and github link
Description:
The main function of this script is that it allows you to have Lisa-style movement for the player without using any events. This script supports backwards compatibility with evented lisa movement (so long as the script is toggled off in such areas). Tiles in tilesets can be set as platforms that can be walked on or jumped to by setting terrain tags on them that are designated to mark platforms. Events can also serve as platforms by using tags in the event name. Different platform types can also be set, which have unique sounds and different damage amounts when falling from unsafe heights.
There's also some new features like:
- Having the option to use visible followers
- No longer having to press the interact key to move up or down (it is now an option)
- In-built support for eventless ropes

v1.1.1 Changelog:
- Added discord and github link
Description:
This script allows you to designate a number for ATS Message Options text box positions settings (like the n in \et[n]) to mark the text box for the show text command's position as relative to the event that contains the show text command. In other words, it serves as a "this event" marker. Additionally, it also lets you set text box positions as relative to followers, not just the player. In addition, it allows you to automatically set unique talking sounds based off of actorID for the player and any followers they have. Lastly, it simplifies the ATS message options talk sound script calls so you can call sound data by name from a list of sounds you define.

This script allows you to let the player talk to NPCs while adjacent to them, so that the player's sprite does not have to be move out of the way unless necessary. For both NPCs that can talk adjacently or not, if the player is directly on top of the NPC they are trying to talk to, then the player can be marked to either move to the left or right to get out of the way before talking to them, and then will face the NPC afterwards. Moving the player out of the way in the desired direction is condensed down to a single script call.

Also present is the script call playerTalkCollisionResolve(), which moves the player in the desired way (in this case, moving left and turning right) if the player is on top of their event.

Description:
This script allows you to set up special "base" character portraits for text message windows which can change to other portraits according to the value of game variables paired with the base portraits. Optionally, the in-game menu portraits can change alongside the text message portraits. This allows you to do different outfits for a character, or possibly other things like the current emotional state of the character. The alternate portraits for the "base" portraits are determined using "text markers" in the alternate portrait filenames which are added to the end of the "base" portrait filenames. The "text markers" contain the text unique to each alternate portrait filename which differentiates it from the "base" character portrait filename.
