Error ReportingThis plugin reports common errors with parameter setup. If it doesn't seem to be working, please open the dev tools by pressing F8 during a playtest, and then selecting the CONSOLE tab at the top of the window that opens. Look for any warning logs which come from CGMZ_EnemyUpgrade
Plugin OrderIn some cases, you may have plugins that perform similar operations on enemy data. This could be something like [CGMZ] Difficulty, which will also modify enemy gold/exp based on the difficulty selected.
In these cases, you may notice different behavior depending on plugin order in the Plugin Manager. If this plugin is above [CGMZ] Difficulty, it will add the variance first and then multiply that by the difficulty multipier. If this plugin is below CGMZ Difficulty, it will multiply by the difficulty multiplier first and then add the variance.
Special EnemiesSome games have "special" versions of enemies, which are either rare and collectible, or more difficult that offer greater rewards. Whatever the case may be, this plugin supports such a mechanic. How it works is that it will swap out the common version of the enemy for the special version on battle start. This way, your special version can have its own move set, drops, etc. in an easy and intuitive way to set up.
Enemy IconThe enemy icon is set to not display by default. It uses a text code to add the icon before the enemy's name. To display the icon before the enemy name, you will need to have a plugin such as [CGMZ] Text Codes Everywhere that causes text codes to work in the battle windows.
Plugin CommandsThis plugin supports the following plugin commands:
Initialize - Re-initializes the CGMZ Core. Only use this if you know what you are doing! Erases CGMZ data.
Saved GamesThis plugin is fully compatible with saved games. This means you can:
