Investigating MackValentine's Contributions

[jetrotal]

@MackValentine has been doing a lot of good upgrades and experiments on easyRPG Repo. He also allowed us to reuse or modify his code if needed.

In this Issue I'll try to track, organize and see what's needed to implement them here.

Touch Screen Updates

Supports menu navigation (I guess character nav too?) , using only touch screen inputs:

Repo: https://github.com/EasyRPG-NewFeatures/Player/tree/Mack-TouchScreen-Updates Status: Near completion, I remember he reusing Ellie's path finding somewhere, I wonder if was it here.

Animated Monsters

Looks like this is a way to re-route Monsters sprites to BattleCharSets. Allowing them to have all the same animations battlechars have.

Repo: https://github.com/EasyRPG-NewFeatures/Player/tree/AnimatedMonsters Status: Needs testing, to see if something is missing.

---

Menu Custom

A bunch of deep refactoring on how menu works + a new event command to change the appearance of each menu scene.

Repo: https://github.com/EasyRPG-NewFeatures/Player/tree/MenuCustom Status: There's a lot of stuff, need to translate french comments to english, and also testing and checking what's missing.

---

Maniacs Battle New Commands

Looks like a combination of the highly requested battle commands + some new commands.

Repo: https://github.com/EasyRPG-NewFeatures/Player/tree/Maniacs-Battle-NewCommands Status: Someone that understands the battle scene should check this.

Is Skill Usable

2 Commands: one of them checks a percentage variation of MP cost; Another calls a common event to check if skill is usable

Repo: https://github.com/EasyRPG-NewFeatures/Player/tree/Custom-IsSkillUsable Status: Seems to be incomplete.

Maniacs Commands

Multiple Changes: 1st one seems to be a fix to how easyrpg deals with SQRT and POW variables (was it broken?) 2nd: Adds variable as event in MoveRoute. 3rd: Adds the highly requested RewriteMap command from Maniacs ( WIP ) 4th: Update for Control Message commands, to include maniacs changes. 5th: Also updated it to cover Bigger Show Choices.

Repo: https://github.com/EasyRPG-NewFeatures/Player/tree/Maniacs-Commands Status: Seems to be incomplete... But there are stuff than can be extracted from it and implemented.

Here's all I could list from the repos, I guess there are still more stuff, But I'm a little short on time since I started college...
