Developer Core Plugin

This is a plugin for plugin developers, meant to aide in the development of powerful and user-friendly plugins. It provides ground-breaking, easy-to-use functionality to get around limitations that the RPG Maker MZ otherwise imposes on plugin developers.

This plugin is, and will always be, FREE for plugin developers, game developers and players alike.

For Game Developers:

If you're a game developer and a plugin developer sent you here because his plugin requires this plugin, simply load this plugin into your project (Tools -> Plugin Manager -> Doubleclick on an empty line) and move this plugin to the very top (unless another plugin specifies they have to be loaded before this one - which should not really ever happen)

For Plugin Developers:

This plugin features a lot of functions and functionality meant to aide you.

The current core features are:

• Plugin Updater (automatic rewriting of your plugin's code)
• Savegame Manager (allows easily storing elements in savegames & allows prototype & class objects to be reconstructed even if scoped to objects)
• Input Manager (allows plugin-based input, multiple hotkeys to command bindings, increased gamepad functionality, all standard keys as default Input map, vastly improved functions for Input checks as well as multiple key input checks)
• Plugin Event Command (Plugin Commands in an event can now be triggered at event creation, erasure, page activation, deactivation as well as event initialization.)
• Map Tags (Map Tags and Map Data that can be assigned to a map's Notetag field can be automatically detected and linked to a function that plays at map creation or when a map is created that no longer has that Map Tag)
• Numerous Utility functions (JSON converter, regexifier, playtest checks, advanced evaluate and evaluate formula functions, advanced functionality for switches, variables, common events & code, object cloning, filename and filepath manipulation, color fetcher, easing functions, shuffle arrays function, object pathing, rest array conversion, random number & dice roll generator that's statistically sound, advanced image loader for multi-image loading and an image combiner to fuse images.

You can view the documentation on each individual component in the "Documentation" archive. The documentation also includes example plugins that give a concise example on how the functions can be used.

Additionally, a Demo plugin is provided that showcases most of the functionality.
