Thank you all for your support of Card Shop plugin this past week! We are happy to present the Week 1 patch for Card Shop plugin. Not only is it a fix for many of the bugs that were reported in the past week, but also we managed to get through a number of features that were on the cutting room floor when it had to go out for release making this not just a small patch but a bonafide version update!

Changes this Update

• Added Plugin Params for default Buy and Sell Price Formulas 
• Added Plugin Commands for Opening and Resetting Card Shop
• Fixed touch input bug in MV that would prevent selection 
• Fixed cost text being in the wrong place for the preview card if opening a card shop for the first time before loading any other scenes with cards. 
• Fixed crash when calling common events in certain ways. 
• Fixed "ghost cards" if the user supplies cards that are hidden from the library.
• Added extra feedback when using deck editor. Now if you try to sell/remove cards when all cards are in use, the help window tells you so.
• Command Window now has room for 4 items
• Dummy Window is now the same dimensions as the Buy Window.
• Added compatibility with YEP_ShopMenuCore
• Custom prices can now accept formulas, and make use of the cardPrice variable. You can even combine game variables.
• Added scrollbar
• Introduced an alternate UI design which shrinks the help window and expands the card list window.
• Added tags allowing you to custom price a custom amount of cards
• Added tags allowing you to specify custom price formulas for buying, selling and removing (overriding default values).

Let's quickly go over some of the added features:

• Price Formulas Expansion

Price Formulas which previously were only available for the Remove command have been extended to the Buy and Sell command as well. We have also included a number of new variables that you can use for these formulas allowing you get advanced control over your game's economy.

• cardPrice - the original price of a card set in Skill notetags
• bought - the total cards bought at that shop
• sold - the total cards sold at that shop
• removed - the total cards removed at that shop
• adjustedCardPrice - a variable just for the Buy formula, this is the price of a card specific to this shop. 

We have included a few more examples of these in the Demo Project events so you can get a better understanding of how to use these in your own games.

• Alternate UI Arrangement
  

Here's an Alternate UI arrangement Isiah implemented as it was suggested by some feedback. The goal here was to get 3 full rows visible in the Shop Window while moving the Card Help Description to directly under the preview. We will be adding in more parameters that will allow you to tweak this particular arrangement in the future such as changing the rows and columns of the Shop Grid or flipping the windows so that the Preview is on the left as opposed to the right.

• Dynamic Shop Lists & Prices

This was a discovery Neel made when answering some questions for one of our Patrons NickSav and so we have included it in the Demo Project as we believe it will be useful for many folks implementing their own Card Shop. Just as the Event pictured above would suggest, it is entirely possible to create a Card Shop using just Script Calls and also to provide it with a Random Cards and also give it Randomized Prices within a range. You can add and remove elements from that initial array and the rest of the Script Call will set up the shop for you. You can even save configurations of the Shop after they are initially generated in a variable and use that as the basis of how you Restock the Shop. This is in Script Call form now, by next update we hope to make this into some form of Plugin Command so it is easier for folks to call.

... and that will be it for now. Please be sure to download this latest version of Card Shop and let us know if there are any bugs we missed and if there are other features you would like us to implement. Card Game Combat, Card Shop and Deck Editor will soon be sold collectively in the CGC Bundle which lets you buy the whole plugin suite in one nice package. Look forward to another expansion sized plugin being added sometime in November :)

Thanks,
