Summary

This plugin allows you to create two different names - one for the Editor and one to appear in game - for many different data types: items, skills, equipment (with more in test). So you can name things according to whatever makes sense to you while working out the database and add a note tag with the lore friendly, in game name, so you never have to lose your test naming system.

This plugin allows you to create two different names - one for the Editor and one to appear in game - for many different data types: items, skills, equipment (with more in test). So you can name things according to whatever makes sense to you while working out the database and add a note tag with the lore friendly, in game name, so you never have to lose your test naming system.

Usage is as simple as adding the <inGameName: x> note tag to any of the data you want a separate name for. Anything without the tag will use the basic name in game.

(This was a request I came across that has moved into working territory and needs its own place to finish development!)

Plugin Placement -- Below conflicting plugins.

Edit:
Alright! Barring more error reports, I expect this plugin to shift over to 'Complete' soon. Having said that, I also fully expect more conflicts to arise with other plugins (especially with the new categories I added), so make sure to report any issues! I'll fix them as promptly as I can!

Updates: (0.9 Newest)
~ Version 0.9 ~
- Added rename to Actors, Classes, Enemies, and States
- Added toggle options for all eight categories

~ Version 0.85 ~
- Added toggle option to choose override or not for BattleCore/WeaponUnleash tags
- Refined logic code

~ Version 0.8 ~
- Fixed wrong name showing up in battle messages.

~ Version 0.7 ~

Conflicts:
- Found conflict with YEP_BattleCore and YEP_WeaponUnleash. Fixed.
^ As inGameName accomplishes the same as battleDisplayText, it replaces that note. (configurable)
- Not fully tested. Interaction with plugins that affect the different data types unknown.

Known Issues:
- Name on skills reverts to editor name in battle log. Fixed.
