There is a issue with the plugin, Currently it not working without the plugin ‘Control Text’.
Until I update it, you will need the Control Text to use the Damage Popup.

When applying a state like poison, that slows drains health, the amount of hp damage that is done doesn’t pop up. Is that there a fix for this?

The digits distance is fixed, based on the fontsize. There is no way to change that without edting the code.

Is this normal that the customs popup appears in the enemy side but not in the party side ?
LikeLike
No, it’s not. Test it without other plugins to find out if it’s an incompatibility or not.
If it happens even on a project with only VE plugis, i will need more details about the setup.
If it’s a compatibility issue, send me a link to the plugin causing that (please don’t send a list with 10+ plugins, send the link to the only one causing that).

Hello Victor, i have tried changing the font to Verdana instead of the code on “HP Damage Fontface” parameter but i get a error saying it is not defined. Even though i have the font on the folder “fonts” of the project and is installed. Could you instruct me on how to change the font to look like the ones in your video?
LikeLike
As said on the plugin help, the value is a script code. the word Verdana is not a valid script code.
Use “Verdana” (in quotations) instead.
Also, the font on the video is not a normal font, they are graphics set with the plugin SFont.

Thank you, this plugin really helps my project. Now the player wont need to check and memorize all monsters in the monsterbook to see what the monster is weak or strong against.
BTW do intend to do something later for this plugin and VE_ElementSet so that it can work with 2 or more “elements”?
Like when the monster is hit by an element that he is weak and another that he has normal resistence it shows normal damage and it wont even appear a text saying “weak” or “resist” at all even though it should by weak, like a thunder (lighting) sword (physical) tech on a aquatic monster.
Nice work on the plugins.
LikeLike
The ‘resist’ and ‘weak’ messages are shown based on the final total element rate.
So what will decide the message is how multiple resistances are handled, wich you can change with the Element Set.

There is a section of the plugin help giving a brief explanation on how to use custom popups. Notice that you will need to edit the scripts or use a plugin (for example the Battle Motions) to call those custom popups.

The text seems to be off center for allies for some reason. The reason seems to partially be because I have my game in 1280 x 720 with the Yanfly Core plugin. I can manually adjust the offset to fix this, but in turn, this also affects enemies and causes their text to be off center instead. I think the ability to change both the offset for enemy text and for ally text would be a good quick fix for this problem.
I tried running the game in the default resolution (816 x 624). The text displays relatively fine, but I noticed that there’s a slight problem with the distance of where the text for each character displays. Enter a battle with four characters. The text for the first character displays fine, but the text for the second ally is very slightly off center. The text gets increasingly slightly more off center for the third and fourth allies as well. The issue with the text distance is negligible.
My game is using many plugins, but I’ve managed to narrow it down to these plugins that are involved with the problem: Yanfly Core Engine, Yanfly Battle Status Window, VE Basic Module, VE Damage Popup.

What is messing with the popup positions is the core engine, and it is not because of the resolution change, but because it mess with popup position.

Apparently, it’s the “Reposition Battlers” setting in Yanfly’s Core Engine that’s causing this. Do you think you could create a compatibility fix for this setting? I kind of need the “Reposition Battlers.”

Not working for compatibility fix for a plugin that is being constaly updated.
Last time I did (throwable objects), an update on the battle core made my patch useless. Not something I want to happen again.
LikeLike
I took a quick look into the core engine and easily found a small piece of coding that was causing this issue. I disabled it and so far haven’t had too many repercussions. Thanks for telling me about this.

Love the plugin! Is there by chance a compatibility issue with Moghunter’s Battle HUD? Font changes work for damage dealt to enemies, but when the enemies attack the PCs, the damage is still the default MV font.

For the weakness and resist popups I’d like to display the calculated elemental rate percentages added to the ‘Weak’ and ‘Resist’ text. For example: ‘Weak 150%’ or ‘Resist 75%’
I’ve tried converting the result of calcElementRate (multiplied by 100) to a string and adding it along with + ‘%’ to the ‘Weak’ and ‘Resist’ text, but I haven’t found a good place in the script to add it.
I can’t do it at lines 1462 or 1464 because the var list will throw an undefined error, for instance. The parameters box seems to only take text (no operators, such as appending strings).
Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!
LikeLike
the best way would be storing the element rate value when calculating the elemental rate, rather than calculating it again. and use this stored value somehow on the text.
LikeLike
Hey, thanks for your response.
I think I found a solution as to where I could work the stored value into the text. (I’m currently looking at line 1298 of your plugin, after adding conditional statements so that the elemental rate value converted to a string is displayed only if the type is ‘Weak’ or ‘Resist’.)
But what would be the best way to store the element rate value? (I have some basic coding and RGSS3 familiarity, but am new to JavaScript and the default MV libraries.)
Should I be able to store the element rate value from within the VictorEngine.calcElementRate function and be able to reference it elsewhere in the plugin? Or will I need to further extend the functions of Game_Action?
Do I need to define a new parameter for DamagePopup and use it to store the elemental rate value? For testing, I tried using $gameVariables.value(id) and $gameVariables.setValue(id, value) as a global way to store the value (like you could in VX Ace), but with MV I’m getting null property errors.
Much appreciated.

No, this plugin only changes the default popup, it don’t add popups where they don’t exist.

The plugin comes with this option already enabled by default. Although it doesn’t diplay TP gained by taking damage or executing actions, only TP given by items and skill effects.

Just found your popup script and love it, however, I’m having an issue where the damage popup is showing behind my front-view battler. I’m making a single character game, so side-view doesn’t match my theme, so I am using a battler image for the character. It appears that the battler image in on the top-layer. Is there any way to adjust this so that the popup appears above the battler?
LikeLike
Is the image really a battler graphic (code wise) because the damage popup is set up to show above the battler and animations, but bellow everything else (because it is attached to the battler)

It’s an image in the system folder. I am using Mr. Trivel’s Battler Battle UI plugin along with Yanfly’s Battle Engine plugin. MT’s UI uses an image of the actor placed in the system folder. Yanfly’s BE allows me to use the battler sprite in front view (even though it doesn’t show up) to display pop-up damage on top of the image. Default damage shows, but with this plugin, it shows behind the image. If there is nothing that can be done, it’s fine and no worries, I will use the default pop-ups. I’m not using side-view battle system since my game only has 1 member. Thanks for your help.
