TSR_Popups.js v1.1.4
author: TSR, The Northern Frog


FEATURES:
TSR_popup_SC7.png

  • Add 3 TP damage Types (TP damage, TP recover and TP drain) to skills and items through the use of Notetags.
  • Provide MP Notetags too so that damage types can be combined.
  • Add various visual effects to Battle popups such as Critical hit and Elemental response popups.
  • Popups can be drawn from an alternate damage sprite sheet provided by this plugin.
  • Text strings can also be used as popups.

TP Notetags:
Code:
* =============================================================================
* == Notetags ===================================================================
* =============================================================================
* As said above, the Plugin provide Notetags that can add new TP damage
* types to your items and skills. For each of these TP damage types,
* 4 different Notetags can be use to set the TP damage value. All Notetags
* are explained bellow:
*
* Skills and Items Notetags
* =========================
*
* <TP DAMAGE: x>  Set the TP damage to constant x.
*
* <TP DAMAGE: x%>  Set the TP damage to x% of target current TP.
*
* <TP DAMAGE FORMULA>  Set the TP damage to the damage formula in
*                      the skill/item database*
*
* <TP DAMAGE EVAL>   Set the TP damage to your custom Java Script
*   code             formula. Use the variable 'TPvalue' to return
*   code             TP damage to be dealt by the skill or item.
* </TP DAMAGE EVAL>
*
*      Exemple:   <TP DAMAGE EVAL>
*                   TPvalue = Math.round(25 * (user.luk / target.luk));
*                 </TP DAMAGE EVAL>
*
*
* <TP RECOVER: x>  Set the TP recover to constant x.
*
* <TP RECOVER: x%>  Set the TP recover to x% of target current TP.
*
* <TP RECOVER FORMULA>  Set the TP recover to the damage formula in
*                       the skill/item database*
*
* <TP RECOVER EVAL>   Set the TP recover to your custom Java Script
*   code              formula. Use the variable 'TPvalue' to return
*   code              TP recover to be dealt by the skill or item.
* </TP RECOVER EVAL>
*
*      Exemple:   <TP RECOVER EVAL>
*                   TPvalue = Math.round(10 + 0.1 * user.level);
*                 </TP RECOVER EVAL>
*
*
* <TP DRAIN: x>  Set the TP drain to constant x.
*
* <TP DRAIN: x%>  Set the TP drain to x% of target current TP.
*
* <TP DRAIN FORMULA>   Set the TP drain to the damage formula in
*                      the skill/item database*
*
* <TP DRAIN EVAL>    Set the TP drain to your custom Java Script
*   code             formula. Use the variable 'TPvalue' to return
*   code             TP drain to be dealt by the skill or item.
* </TP DRAIN EVAL>
*
*      Exemple:   <TP DRAIN EVAL>
*                   TPvalue = 20;
*                   if (user.tp <= 20) TPvalue * 2;
*                 </TP DRAIN EVAL>
*
*     *You can put the TP Notetags in items/skills notebox without damage
*      type to make them affect only TP. You can still use the database
*      formula for <TP DAMAGE/RECOVER/DRAIN FORMULA> Notetags by selecting
*      HP DAMAGE type (or any other), enter your formula and put the damage
*      type back to NONE. The Notetags will then be able to use the formula.
*
*     *The TP DAMAGE, RECOVER and DRAIN damage types are user friendly.
*      Hence, they are made to receive absolute values. For that matter,
*      the use of Lunatic formulas that return floating or negative
*      values might render unexpected results.
*
*

MP Notetags:
The Plugin also provide the same Notetags for MP. The main reason for this is to give the option to combine MP damage to TP and/or HP damage at the same time. The MP Notetags works the same way than those above and are all listed bellow.
Code:
 * <MP DAMAGE: x>           <MP RECOVER: x>           <MP DRAIN: x>
*
* <MP DAMAGE: x%>          <MP RECOVER: x%>          <MP DRAIN: x%>
*
* <MP DAMAGE FORMULA>      <MP RECOVER FORMULA>      <MP DRAIN FORMULA>
*
* <MP DAMAGE EVAL>         <MP RECOVER EVAL>         <MP DRAIN EVAL>
*       code                      code                           code
*       code                      code                           code
* </MP DAMAGE EVAL>        </MP RECOVER EVAL>        </MP DRAIN EVAL>
*
*                     *Use the variable 'MPvalue' in the MP Eval Notetags.
*
*

Combining HP, MP and TP effects:
The Notetags above offer many possibilities for creating mulitple effects skills and items.
Code:
 * By combining Default database HP damage type with TP and MP Notetags
* provided by this Plugin, you can create skill or item that affect
* HP, MP and TP in different manners.
*
*         Exemple: Database damage type: HP DAMAGE
*                             Notetag 1: <MP drain: 10%>
*                             Notetag 2: <TP recover formula>
*
* In the above exemple, the skill will damage target HP according to
* the skill Damage Formula in the database. It will also recover TP
* by the same amount while draining 10% of target MP. This means 4
* damage sprites will pop out: 3 on the target (-HP, +TP, -MP) and
* one the user (+MP).
*
* -Notes on combining
*
*          -If you combine 2 or more of the same Notetags, only the
*           last one in the skill/item notebox will be taken into
*           account.
*
*          -If you combine 2 or more Notetags that affects the same
*           stat (Ex: <TP damage> with <TP drain>), effects will
*           accumulate most of the time, but some combinations might
*           be conflicting. Only one popup will be shown with the
*           value defined by the last Notetag of the skill notebox.
*
*          -If you combine Default database Damage Type with Notetags
*           that affects the same stat, only one popup will be shown
*           with the value defined by the Default database entry, but
*           both effect will accumulate.
*
*               Exemple: Default database: MP DAMAGE
*                                Notetags: <MP damage: 20>
*
*                        In this exemple, the skill will do MP damage
*                        equal to the value defined by the database
*                        Damage Formula + 20, but popup will only show
*                        the Damage formula value.
*
*          -If you put a DRAIN effect Notetag in a skill or item that
*           target the user itself, popup will only show the healing
*           effect, but the actual stat will remain the same.
*           (Ex: Draining 10 TP means 10 TP lost and 10 TP gain, hence
*           no change occurs).

TSR_Damage.png an alternate Damage sprite sheet provided by this Plugin:

TSR_Damage.png

This Plugin use an alternate Damage sprite sheet for displaying various visual popups effects. It is free to download along with the Plugin file on my itch.io account. It is to be placed in the img/system folder of your project. *You are free to edit the sprite sheet as you want.

Code:
* ========================================================================
* == New Popups Visual Features ================================================
* ========================================================================
* When using the alternate 'TSR_Damage' sprite sheet. A variety of visual
* features will be automaticaly added to the Battle Scene.
*
* Bellow is a short explanation for each of them.
*
* -MP/TP 'operators' and 'letters'
* Damage popups have been extensively in use since the dawn of RPGs and
* it is a nearly 3 decades well-established convention that white digits
* are HP damage and green digits are healing. This is less true for MP
* and TP popups wich vary a lot depending on specific game mechanics. It
* is not always very intuitive to know if a different colored popup is
* representing MP or TP, damage or recovery. Hence the 'operators' and
* 'letters': this feature show a '+' or '-' operator in front of the
* damage digits to give visual information on wether it is a loss or a
* gain, while the 'letters' will show 'MP' or 'TP' following the digits
* depending on wich stat is affected.
*
*           Exemple: a 25 TP damage will be show as '-25TP'
*
*
* -Elemental effects
* This feature generate a popup bellow the damage digits to indicate
* the element rate response of the target to the skill/item. These
* popups are mutually exclusives, meaning that only one can appear
* following the action. They are based on the final damage value after
* element rate have been applied.
*
*   -If value after element rate calculation is lower than the base
*    value, a 'RESIST' popup will be shown.
*
*   -If value after element rate calculation is higher than the base
*    value, a 'WEAK' popup will be shown.
*
*   -If value after element rate calculation is equal to 0 while the
*    base value was > 0, the 'IMMUNE' popup will be shown.*
*
*        *If value is already equal to 0 before element calculation,
*         the 'IMMUNE' popup won't appear. This is to diffenciate
*         an attack that is too weak to damage the target from an
*         attack that can't do damage out of elemetal resistance.
*
*
* -Attack States 'NO EFFECT'
* The Plugin also do a check for States Resist and show a 'NO EFFECT'
* popup accordingly. This popup will be shown if the attack contains
* at least one Attack State for wich the target have either the
* corresponding State Resist Trait or a State Rate equal to 0%.
*
*       *Note that actually the Plugin only checks if the attack has
*        an 'Attack State' Trait. It won't show the popup if it has
*        an 'Add State' Trait. This will be adressed in following
*        versions of the Plugin.
*
*
* -Critical Hit popup
* When the action result in a Critical Hit, the Plugin will show a
* 'CRITICAL HIT' popup bellow the damage digits along with a flash
* screen effect and a SE. These will be customizable in further
* versions, but for now, it is just Plug & Play.
*
*       *For simplicity, the Critical Hit popup disable 'Element
*        Effect' and States 'NO EFFECT' popups when it is shown.
*
*
* -Overkill popup
* This will pop out an 'OVERKILL' sprite when the target is killed
* by an amount equal or greater to the target maxHP ratio defined
* in the corresponding Plugin parameter. It is shown alongside the
* Critical Hit popup if both conditions are met.
*

Here's a few screen shots of those popups in action. Of course, it looks much better when animated, but my computer's a bit old and screen recording is too laggy, so you'll have to see it for yourself.

Using Text String
Code:
* =====================================================================
* == Using text string popups =================================================
* =====================================================================
* All popups have a On/Off boolean parameter that allow turning the
* popup into text string. If so, you get to write the text the popup
* will actually show in another parameter text box.
*
*
*      DAMAGE and RECOVERY popups
*      ==========================
*      When turned into string, these popups will show the damage and
*      recovery values as text string. In their respective text box
*      parameter, you can write anything you wish to appear before or
*      after the keyword 'value'.
*
*         Exemple: if you have writed '-valueHP' and the resulting
*                  damage is 1205, the popup will show '- 1205 HP'.
*
*      Each popup types (HP, MP or TP) have a separated text box for
*      damage text string and recovery text string.
*
*         Exemple: writing '-valueMP' into the MP damage text box and
*                  '+valueMp' into the MP recovery text box will show
*                  a minus sign '-' before damage values and a plus
*                  sign '+' when healing MP.
*
*      Note that the keyword 'value' MUST be present in the text box.
*      Otherwise, popups won't appears. But you can also just write
*      'value' alone and popups will only show the value.
*
*      EFFECT popups
*      =============
*      These popups are used to display additionnal info such as
*      elemental weakness and critical hits. They do not show values,
*      so there's no keywords for these popups. If you turn them into
*      text string, just write what you want to appear in their
*      corresponding text box.
*
*         Exemple: Default Plugin text for critical hits is 'CRITICAL'.
*                  Replace that by 'Potatoe' and this is what's going
*                  to appears whenever an attack result in a critical.
*
*          
*      String Popups Colors
*      ====================
*      Each string popups have an assigned default Plugin text color.
*      Changing the text color of a string popup is rather simple since
*      all you have to do is entering text color escape codes '\C[x]' in
*      the popup text box parameter.
*
*      TSR_TextColorAddOn.js
*      =====================
*      Only problem is, battle popups are sprite based. They're not
*      windows. Therefore, the drawTextEx functions wich reads the
*      escaped codes can't be used... Unless you have my other Plugin
*      TSR_TextColorAddOn, wich brings the drawTextEx at the Bitmap
*      class level.
*
*      Having TSR_TextColorAddOn installed above this Plugin will allow
*      you, not only to use the default text color codes (0 to 31) for
*      your battle popups, but also import and use your own custom colors,
*      change the text outline color, add text color gradients,
*      and more...
