Version 1.10 update

Greetings all. I have uploaded a new version of the Crafting System Core plugin with the following updates:

• Added new additive ingredient note tags:
  • SET ICON: X
    • Sets the icon of the result item to iconIndex X. If multiple ingredients have this tag, the one at the bottom of the recipe list is used.
  • RESET ICON
    • Resets the icon of the result item to default, ignoring any set icon tags on the other ingredients. 
    • Note that this property can be chained, so if this result item is an ingredient for another item, the next item will also be unable to have its icon changed by other ingredients.
  • BLOCK CHANCE: X
    • The result item gains block chance of X%. This can be negative.
    • Requires my Shield Block MZ or Block Chance MV plugins to function.
  • CAN/CANNOT BLOCK
    • Allows the result item to bestow upon the wielder the ability to block, or removes the ability to block from an item.
    • Requires my Shield Block MZ plugin to function. The MV version of the block chance plugin relies on a passive state being on the actor in order to enable blocking.
      
  • BLOCK PERCENT: X
    • Changes the block percent of the result item by X%. This can be negative.
    • Requires my Shield Block MZ or Block Chance MV plugins to function.
      
    • In the MV version, the block percent value only has an effect if it's on a shield, but in MZ, the block percent of an actor can be modified by all equipment.
  • BLOCK VALUE: X
    • Changes the block value of the result item by X.
    • Requires my Shield Block MZ or Block Chance MV plugins to function.
      
    • In the MV version, only the block value of the equipped shield is checked, so this trait on other equips has no effect. In MZ, the block value of an actor can be affected by all of his equipment.
  • PARRY CHANCE: X
    • Modifies the parry chance of the result item by X%. This value can be negative.
    • Requires the Parry Chance extension for Block Chance MV to function.
    • Parry chance on equipment is only checked on weapons, so armor that has parry chance on it doesn't affect the actors ability to parry.
  • EXPERTISE: X
    • Modifies the expertise of an actor by X%. This value can be negative.
    • Requires the Parry Chance extension for Block Chance MV to function.
      

As the CS_Core plugin doesn't contain help info, these new tags will be added to the help documentation for the MV and MZ crafting system plugins on their next update. Until then, you can reference the new tags on this page.

These new additive traits were suggestions from use SirCumferance from the RPGMakerweb forums. The block chance/shield block additive traits were something I should've come up with on my own a long time ago, it's sort of a no-brainer to integrate your own plugins together. The suggestion for changing icons was honestly something I'd never considered at all and never would've though of on my own, so thanks for the great suggestions!

To download the updated core plugin, navigate back to the store page and download it from there, click the link from this devlog, or redownload it from your itch.io library. Since it's free, downloading from here should work fine.

That's all for this update. As always, thanks for your support.
