This is a script I've been working on to make it easier to set up note tags to be loaded. The goal is that instead of having to alias the data manager load_database in all of my scripts, plus a whole lot of very similar setup to apply regexes to the note tags of all the objects, I can just pop this script in and describe the loading process in a couple of lines. It would look something like... module Garryl module Loader register(LoadFeature.new(RegexConfig.new(//i, RegexConfig::CAPTURE_INT, RegexConfig::CAPTURE_FLOAT), Game_BattlerBase::FEATURE_ELEMENT_RATE)) endend... instead of......

module Garryl module Loader register(LoadFeature.new(RegexConfig.new(/<feature element rate:\s*([1-9][0-9]*)[,]?\s*([\+]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?)\s*>/i, RegexConfig::CAPTURE_INT, RegexConfig::CAPTURE_FLOAT), Game_BattlerBase::FEATURE_ELEMENT_RATE)) endend... instead of...
Code:
module DataManager # ************************************************************************* # * Aliases * # ************************************************************************* class << self alias garryl_example_alias_datamanager_load_database load_database end # ************************************************************************* # * Aliased Functions * # ************************************************************************* #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Load Database #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def self.load_database garryl_example_alias_datamanager_load_database groups = [$data_actors, $data_classes, $data_weapons, $data_armors, $data_enemies, $data_states] for group in groups for obj in group next if obj.nil? next if obj.note.empty? obj.note.scan(/<feature element rate:\s*([1-9][0-9]*)[,]?\s*([\+]?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?)\s*>/i) {|id, value| obj.features.push(RPG::BaseItem::Feature.new(Game_BattlerBase::FEATURE_ELEMENT_RATE, id.to_i, value.to_f)) } end end endend
... and suddenly any feature-bearing object will add element rate features defined in their notes. (Obviously element rate is just an example, not something I'd actually need to do with standard scripts since the editor lets you just assign features directly in the features table, but it's a good illustration of how it works.)
It's partially tested (an earlier version was working, but I've changed it since then). It's designed primarily for loading new features (for actors, equipment, states, etc.) and effects (for skills and items), but it also includes (untested) support for something else entirely using a method call to a method in the object whose note tag is being loaded.
This should be compatible with everything, since it only deals with two methods, DataManager.LoadDatabase and Game_Map.setup, and it just aliases them.
Edit: Changed to load the note tags of maps when they're loaded, which is different from when normal database elements are loaded.
Edit: Did some actual testing and bug fixing and getting it to actually run right in the basic cases.
Edit: Also, optionally, a script to have it load, from note tags, all of the standard features and effects that you can assign through the GUI.
Edit: Now on GitHub instead of pasted here. First completed version, yay!
