Deckbuilder Combat System for your games · By
Glad to hear you will be releasing a game with this plugin! We are working to ensure compatibility with all YEP eventually. As of v.1.1.1 we know that it is compatible with:
- Core Engine
- Battle Engine Core
- Action Sequences
- Skill Core
- Buff State Core
- Auto Passive States
- Message Core
- Target Core
- Battle AI Core
For Summoning Actors, we should be able to support that once the Party Battle update has been completed (v.1.3 on our roadmap). We can definitely look into Mobile Compatibility down the line.
If you have some screenshots from your game that you can share, please post them in the Game Showcase thread. We would love to see :)
That is great news, the compatibility update is much appreciated because I put the project on pause due to the incompatibility! Thanks for reaching out so soon, will absolutely will share screenshots when that time comes!
Cheers.
Hey StudioKamio, as of your most recent update (Version 1.3.5), we have added support for being able to summon Actors into Battle with their own decks! If you are using YEP then it should be possible to achieve this via Eval or Common Event action sequences. There are still issues if you attempt to summon in the same Actor twice (it will work, but it will do wacky things to their deck). We should have these ironed out by the Version 1.4.0 update, but if you needed to prototype this function for your game it is available now!
Hey Percarus, thanks for reporting that in! We can certainly look into extending full compatibility with Eli's Bitmap Font in a near future update. We have plans to work on an extension plugin (after Deck Editor is complete) that allows improved control of all text elements on a card: Cost, Text, Description, Types, Flavor etc. We want to support multiple fonts, word wrap & alignments, variable font size and colors, macro-ing keywords and many other helpful features. Let us know if there is any features in particular you would like to see in this potential extension plugin and we will be sure to try to include it :)
That all sounds wonderful! Besides what you mentioned, the biggest thing I'd love to see implemented into the plugin is a way to control the cost dynamically. Discounting card costs is a common mechanic in card games, and although I tried to implement this in Alyx Ascended, it was done so clumsily since I couldn't show the new cost of the card. It would be a great debuff to players as well, if an enemy could increase card costs, or randomize them, etc.- there's a lot of possibilities with it :)
A Follow-up. I had the mentioned problem with the demo fixed, but I am still unable to tell what the issue I'm having is. Here is the full error log. Please let me know if there's some simple fix I'm missing.

It looks like you may not be using IsiahCGCCardTypes, a plugin which comes with both CardGameCombat and DeckEditor. That plugin is currently required for Deck Editor to work. The plugin order should be CardGameCombat, then CardTypes, and then DeckEditor. Let us know if that's what the issue is, or if it's something else.
Alrighty, thank you so much for checking for me, I appreciate it! I'll probably still get this plugin in the future when I can afford to do so.
Hey TacticianDaraen, thanks for reporting these in! We will keep an eye out for this error. There is a major update coming out in a few days (v1.6.0) which may have already taken care of this issue. Once that update is available, please let us know if the issue persists in which case we can spend some time to investigate the bug and issue a patch to fix it.
Hello, no worries, this has been reported by a number of folks. We have a patch coming soon that will fix it.
If you wanted to fix it yourself, open MYTH_CGC_PartyUI_TypeA in a text editor and go down to functions processTouch near the bottom of the plugin. You will want to change one function called inside it from activateActorStatusWindow() to activatePartyStatusWindow().
Let us know if that fixes the issue. If problems are still happening we can troubleshoot further.

Here is a clip the quality is bad but in it I have a one line battle processing event activated on action button. The battle loads and I use a skill then attempt to end turn. I also click different characters and nothing happens. Let me know if it works. Thank you for your help.
Ahh, awesome. It's been a while since I used the plugin, and I recalled it being in the core plugin before. Thanks for the swift reply!
Core Engine takes care of the Card Art placement. We recommend that the Card Art be done relative to the size of the Card Base so that you can place the Art on the right spot of the card. No additional scaling or cropping is done to the Card Art when it is placed on top of the Card Base.
We go over this in the Tutorial Island of the Demo Project (talk to the Old Man) and in this Tutorial Video:
