Thanks for your question! As of the current version (v.1.1.1), there is no way to set up Card Battles using the plugin outside of the battle scene. As a result, we unfortunately can't guarantee that there is compatibility with SRPG engine at this time. We are looking finding a solution for this in the future. We will keep you updated when the plugin does a reach a point where it is compatible :)

Hi Hawkzera, if we are understanding your question correctly: you would like to use higher resolution icons for the Card Art.

To do this, we would recommend making the icons into separate high resolution images and placing those in the Card Art Directory. Then using the <Card Art: file_name> notetag to specify the image for each Skill so that the Card is using the high resolution icon. 

Pictured below are the steps you would need to do to achieve this:

1. Create the high resolution icon image and place it in your Card Art Directory.

2. Add the <Card Art: file_name> notetag to the Skill you want to give this image to (it will override the default icon).

3. Run the project can see it in action. Make adjustments based on how you would like it to appear.

You can also change the dimensions of the Card itself based on the image provided to the Card Design plugin parameter.

Let us know if we have answered your question. We are happy to help :)

Thanks for your inquiry! As of v.1.2.0 of the Card Game Combat plugin, you can do this using the Require keyword in the Card Passives notetag. Here's an example of one such requirement below:

This Card can be in a Deck but can't be played until the Require conditions are met. This keyword makes the check whenever the player attempts to play the card so if something changes during battle it may be possible to play this Card at a later point. If you want to go the extra step to hide the Card in the Deck if the user doesn't meet the requirement, you will need to set up either a Troop or Common Event to remove or include cards based on Card requirements at the start of battle. We can look into offering a keyword or plugin parameter that does this automatically in the future if there is demand for it.

Hope that helps. Let us know if you have  more questions :)

Our plan is to eventually look into allowing users to define their own buttons, which would let you create a new End Turn button with control over whether it was at the beginning or the end of the list.

In the meantime I wrote a short fix - you'll need to download this as a .js file and place it below IsiahCardGameCombat.

IsiahCGCEndButtonIndexFix (EDIT: for anyone else wanting the same thing, please use the updated link posted further down the thread instead)

This code will move the End Turn Button to the beginning of the list of options instead of the end.

There will be a graphical glitch while you're using v1.2.2 which our upcoming update should fix - the button won't highlight properly in v1.2.2. Everything else should work just like you want it! Let me know if it doesn't.

-Isiah

Hey MALGOOSIX, hope you are doing well! Our lead programmer Isiah (who is on vacation now) told me to give you this update to the Button Fix plugin before he left. It should make your specific Button changes compatible with the latest version of the Card Game Combat plugin (v.1.3.0) is you decide to update to it. We will be incorporating this Button fix into the Core plugin itself in our next minor update thanks to your help identifying this issue :)

- Neel

Thanks for your question! With Yanfly Plugins, this makes the solution a lot easier. Using YEP Skill Core, you can set up a skill similar to this:

YEP Skill Core has the After Eval notetag which lets us put in code to check if the target is either Dead or at 0 HP after the execution of the Skill. If the condition is met then it will call the drawCards function from our Card Game Combat plugin to draw 1 Card. You can change the number of cards drawn by changing the number in the parameter of the function. You can also use this function as part of an Eval step in a YEP Action Sequence.

Once we get to Card Game Combat v1.4.0, we hope to implement some popular Card Keywords such as in this case Mortal / Lethal / On Death which should help with these types of trigger conditions. Until then, hope this workaround helps. Let us know if you run into any issues or if you have any further questions :)

What I've been using is a combination of enemy states + enemy AI. The intents are the states, visible as icons, and the enemies can only use specific skills skills depending on their "intent" state.  Can't tell you the exact plugins I'm using right now cause I'm on the go, but I'm pretty sure you can do it with Yanfly's stuff.

Hello again, we have patched a fix for the Party UI Plugin (v.1.03) that should help. Try downloading the new version of the plugin and see if that resolves the issues. Let us know if the problem with the Item Button continues to persist in your project :)

Hey Flow9881, thanks for the question! While we do not currently support multiple decks per Actor, there is a definitely a way to do this:

1.  Create two Actors which will serve as the player. One is the Combat character, one is the Negotiation character.

2. Before a Combat Encounter, remove the Negotiation character from the party and add the Combat character. Before a Negotiation encounter, remove the Combat character from the party and add the Negotiation character. This ensures that the correct deck is being used in each case.

3. If you have level and stat progression in your game, create a Common Event that you call which sets the levels and stats of both characters whenever a switch happens. Call this Common Event before you swap the characters before each encounter.

4. When you are adding new Cards, you can choose which character learns it by using the script call:

$gameActors.actor(X).learnSkill(Y)

where X is the ID of the Actor and Y is the card added to their Deck. We don't want a case where the Combat character is getting Negotiation cards or vice versa.

There is a downside with this method currently in that when your player looks at their Deck, they will only see the deck of either the Combat or the Negotiation character. You can have an Event that the player can interact with which switches the characters to alleviate this issue.

We will be adding support for Card Types soon with the v.1.4.0 of the plugin. That should allow you to specify what are Combat cards and what are Negotiation cards so that when looking at the Deck screen, the player is clear on which Deck they have for a given situation. Once we have support for switching Classes in (by v.1.5.0), this will become as easy as switching the class of a single character.

Hope this method helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or would like to troubleshoot this until we get it working :)

Thanks for the question! You can change the default drawn by changing the Battle Start Actions and Turn Start Actions parameters. For example, let's say your Hand Size is determined by Variable 7 called MaxHandSize. You can edit the Battle Start Actions parameter to say: "Shuffle Deck, Draw \\v[7]" and the Turn Start Actions to say: "Discard Until 0, Draw \\v[7]". The number of cards drawn in each case will be based on the value of Variable 7.

If you want to tie this to Equipment, you can use the IsiahEquipCommonEvents plugin and have one Common Event for equipping the Item and one for unequipping the Item specified in the Equipment's notetags. The Common Events should manipulate that MaxHandSize variable value to give you the intended effect.

Hope some of this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or wish to troubleshoot further :)

Hi gamemakeru, thanks for playing the game! Here are some answers:

1. We used YEP_SkillCore for the Energy Costs and then edited CGC plugin to customize the skillCostX and skillCostY position. These can be found in line 859 - 860 of IsiahCardGameCombat.js. We are adding this feature in the CGC v1.4.5 update so you will be able to manipulate the coordinates using plugin parameters.

2. The Speed Icons are baked into the Card Base. For each Kaiju, there are three card frames for each speed: Regular, Fast (yellow arrow), Slow (blue arrow), We do want to provide support for custom icons for CGC in the future, but that may not happen for a few versions.

3. This was once again achieved by editing the CGC plugin. The X and Y coordinates for the Card Names can be found in line 856 - 857 of IsiahCardGameCombat.js. We are adding this feature in the CGC v1.4.5 update so you will be able to manipulate the Name coordinates using plugin parameters. The Card Names don't have an alignment yet, but we are hoping to add that in the future.

All of these additions will be made available to all CGC users, including those that support the Patreon :)

Thanks for the question (and your English is fine, don't apologize)! Yes, it is possible to check if one or more specific cards are in a zone using Eval expressions to access the _cardHand, _cardDeck and _cardDiscard variables of each party battler. For example, the expression

 $gameParty.leader()._cardHand.includes(X) 

will return true if a Card of Skill ID X is in the Party Leader's Hand.

You can also use this with the Require keyword in a Card Passives notetag with one of following expressions:

- user._cardHand.includes(Y)
- user._cardDeck.includes(Y)
- user._cardDiscard.includes(Y)

In the above expressions, Y is the Skill ID of the specific card you are checking for. The expression will return true if a card of that ID is in that zone and allow you to play the card.

Hope that explanation helps. Let us know if you have any more questions :)

Yes, you can definitely use more than one Actor per Battle. You can see how this works in the Demo Project by talking to the other characters on the Island and adding them to your party. We recommend using the Party Battle UI plugin for this purpose as it arranges all the necessary information for an entire party in a much more easily accessible manner.

For the second request, we are still working on the battle system where the Enemy and Player parties have one Deck each and cards are applied to them. Once this system (known as Party Battle Type C) is complete, you should be able to set up battles to work in the manner of Fate G/O.

Hey Hawkzera, if you would like to do Custom Costs for Cards and are working in RPG Maker MV, we would recommend adding the YEP Skill Core plugin which our plugin is compatible with. YEP Skill Core allows you to use the <Custom Requirement> and <Custom Cost Display> notetags which can let you use other attributes instead of just HP/MP/TP as part of the Cost. This will requirement some JavaScript knowledge to use, luckily it is well documented on their plugin page. Let us know if this solution works for you or if you require another :)

On top of that, how do I make it so your money doesn't show up in the top right. If you notice, it overlaps your name and looks really bad.

Hey Kobaltblue, while we don't have Random Discard as a Card Action keyword, you can do this using a Card Action Eval.

<Card Action>
Eval SceneManager._scene._skillWindow.discardCard(Math.floor(Math.random() * (BattleManager.actor().handSize) + SceneManager._scene._skillWindow._itemsBeforeCards))
</Card Action>

This will discard a random card from your Hand. If you wanted to remove the card instead, you can use the following:

<Card Action>
Eval SceneManager._scene._skillWindow.removeCard(Math.floor(Math.random() * (BattleManager.actor().handSize) + SceneManager._scene._skillWindow._itemsBeforeCards))
</Card Action>

If you wanted to discard/remove multiple at random, using the Conditional Card Actions statements, you can create a Loop like so:

<Card Actions>
Eval $gameVariables.setValue(1, 3);
Label Start
If ($gameVariables.value(1) <= 0)
Jump to End
Eval SceneManager._scene._skillWindow.discardCard(Math.floor(Math.random() * (BattleManager.actor().handSize) + SceneManager._scene._skillWindow._itemsBeforeCards))
Wait 5
Eval $gameVariables.setValue(1, $gameVariables.value(1) - 1)
Jump to Start
Label End
</Card Actions>

As for Scry type effects, we have that working! You will need the new Card Action Pack 1 plugin that is available to supporters of our Patreon. We will eventually grandfather in the Patron plugin into CGC proper a few months down the line :)

Hey D.R.G,

We would recommend using YEP Battle Engine Core and YEP Standard Turn Battle (STB) system plugins for this purpose. That will make it such that you can queue force action Turn Ends and that all the Turn End triggers happen after the Actor has completed their Action. Place these plugins above IsiahCardGameCombat for best compatibility. Once both of these are in, you should be able to use an Eval Card Action or an Action Sequence to fire a skill end the user's turn if their Action Count is reduced to 0.

If you are still having trouble implementing this system, we would be willing to troubleshoot it further with you on our community Discord. We have a dedicated forum by which we can help users with such implementation problems that may be easier than using the ones on itch.io. If however, you would prefer to continue the discussion here, we can do that as well :)

Thanks,

MythAtelier Team

Is it possible, after selecting a card (card action pack 1), to modify its variables (using idenpendent card variables)? Something to simulate Yu-Gi-Oh equip cards?

Selected Var(X) set Y 
Selected Var(X) mod [+/-]Y

Taking this opportunity to also ask if it is possible to modify a card variable depending on the number of specific cards and/or a type in a zone?

Yes, you would need to make use of Conditional Card Actions to check how many of a specific Cards or type there are in a Zone and then change those variables on a Selection of Cards.

Let us know in this thread or on the Discord if you need any help setting these up. We can troubleshoot it with you :)

Hey hibjgalaphor, thanks for the question. You can set up the End Turn button by setting its settings in the plugin parameter. The most important of these is the End Turn skill which corresponds to the ID of a Skill in the Database which is used by the Actor when the button is pressed in Battle.

In the Demo Project, we have set up the End Turn Skill to look like this in the Database. This Skill must use the <willEndTurn> notetag to indicate that it will end the Actor's turn once the Skill has been used so that it can move onto the turns of other Actors in the party or onto the Enemy Troop depending on the initiative order.

That should be all there is to it, but please follow up and let us know how this looks like in your project so we can help troubleshoot any issues you have been running into :)

Thanks,

MythAtelier Team

Hey MESA, thanks for your question! Don't worry, there are no stupid questions.

You can do this by adding Card Actions to your End Turn Skill. This is the Skill that is activated when you hit the End Turn button, you can set it in the End Turn Button Plugin parameters. For example, the following Notetag:

<willEndTurn>

<Card Actions>
Discard Until 0
</Card Actions>

Will Discard all Cards in your Hand and then End your Turn. This makes it such that when you draw cards at the start of your next turn, you will have an empty Hand before cards are drawn. Hope that helps :)

Hey spiderbob,

To check if an individual card in the library is equipped or not, you will want to use:

[Game_Card].origin()

This is will access the origin value of a Game_Card object which will return "learned" if obtained will Initialization or Skill Learn, "equip" if it was added through Equipment and "state" if it was added through a State on the Actor. You can find a Game_Card by accessing any collection of Cards such as:

$gameParty.members()[0]._cardDeck._data[0]

This gives you the top Card of the Deck as a Game_Card object which you can access the origin of using the above function.

To check how many of a card you have in the library, the script call you are looking for is:

[Game_Cards].amountOf(skillId)

This will return the amount of cards matching the Skill ID you pass in of the Game_Cards object you are calling it from (which is just any collection of Cards). A couple that might be useful to you:

[Game_Actor]._skillCards

This will give you all the cards an individual Actor has including ones they have in their Library which are not in their Deck.

$gameParty._allCards

This will give you all the cards in a Party's shared library if you have that plugin parameter enabled.

Hope that helped. Let us know if you have any further questions. We would be happy to assist :)

Cheers,

Thanks for your question, it's not that strange at all. Here are some answers to each of those questions:

- Enemy Cards and Zones will be a major feature of the Card Game Combat v1.7.0 update which is scheduled for 2025. There are workarounds that allow enemies to use Card abilities but you can't make them draw/discard/remove Cards as they don't have those game objects. For Mahjong, you can set it up to be actions between a party of 4 Actors with a dummy enemy (that is non-interactable so the Battle scene does not end until one Actor has achieved the victory condition). Actors have individual Hands, Deck and Discard Zones which would be perfect if you want to simulate Mahjong gameplay in this manner.

- Visible Discards are not possible with Enemies as they do not have their own Hands yet but are possible with other Actors who have their own Hands. You can also enable peeking at the other Hands of Actors or turn it off as I believe that is usually not allowed in most Mahjong variants. It terms of stealing Cards/Tiles, this can be done by creating a Custom Zone that serves as a shared Discard and allowing each Actor a chance to steal a Tile and add it to their Hand when it is added to the Discard.

- Yes, you can manipulate the Opening Hands by using the Equip Cards and Turn Start Plus plugins. This would allow you to give an accessory  item Notetags that add a specific Card to your opening Hand without fail each match/battle.

Hope some of this helps. What you are trying to do is possible, it will just require a lot of smart scripting to circumvent core behavior of Card Game Combat in order to achieve it. We would be happy to help point you to where in the plugin you will need to make the necessary changes to build your system :)

Thanks for the question. It is currently not possible to play cards vs cards in this system. Cards are played individually and then resolve their action before the next can be played. You will need to wait for the v1.7.0 update happening in a few months where we enable Enemies to have their own Cards and Decks as well. Once that is available, it will be possible to use Custom Zones in order to have Skill Cards beat other Skill Cards like you are envisioning (both cards go to the same Zone, they are compared against each other and one Card wins out and resolves). Hope that helps :)

Multiple answers!

1. Yes, while the base gameplay has cards resolve instantly as you play them, you can use the Start of Turn / End of Turn Card Passives to queue Actions for a specific timing step. May require some additional Eval work to get working but this is possible.

2. Yes, you can use the Deck Editor expansion's new Immutable notetag and Actor Restrictions to make a Decklist exclusive to one Actor. You can also restrict an Actor's card pool used to build Decks by not making the Library shared across all party member.

3. Yes, you can make a card that is a combination of smaller Skill effects from other cards. These could be in the form of multiple attacks.

4. No, effects firing based on gameplay triggers is not yet supported. This will need be achieved with another plugin such as YEP Buff States Core. That plugin is more suited towards creating the windows for triggered effects. You can also conceivably do this via some clever Eval work in Card Actions but we recommend using the other plugin for this purpose.

5. Not yet. This features is coming soon with the CGC v1.7.0 update which is currently scheduled for sometime mid-next year. There is a lot of foundational work that needs to be set up in order to support this system.

Hope that helps :)

Hey SapphireSquid10,

Thanks for your questions! Here's a couple workarounds for each:

1. While there isn't a way to prevent the visual of the cards flying to the Discard Zone, you can try Removing cards on play via Card Actions which will ensure they don't move to the Discard Zone and instead are removed in Hand. You can Add the same Card to the Discard Zone as part of that set of Card Actions and players will be none the wiser. Make sure to change the coordinates of the Temp Zone which is where the Card moves to after it is played before it moves to any other Zone.

2. This part is a little bit harder and would require editing the plugin. We can offer an option in a future update that lets you choose the priority of Cards vs Pictures, but right now Cards will always appear above the Pictures layer (has to do with the fact that the Cards are on the Window layer).

Let us know if this workaround does the trick or if it is still insufficient. We can continue to troubleshoot until we find a solution.

Thanks,

MythAtelier Team
