HOW TO USE​

Put Difficulties.json inside your data folder, and put SSG_DifficultySetting.js inside your js/plugin folder. Open Diffifficulties.json using any text editor and you will find something like this
[ // <- don't touch this    {        "name": "Very Easy",        "mhp": 60,        "mmp": 60,        "atk": 50,        "def": 50,        "mat": 50,        "mdf": 50,        "agi": 50,        "luk": 50,        "exp": 50,        "gold":50,        "buy": 200,        "sell": 200,        "switches":[1,6]    },......] // <- don't touch this
Here's the explanation

~~ name ~~
Set your difficulty level name that will be displayed on the Option Screen. Values must be a string (wrapped by quotes or double quotes sign).
The tables is an Array. It means that the first element's ID is 0. You should make your difficulty level sorted from easiest to hardest. As it will make sense for the player when they set difficulty on the option screen

~~ mhp, mmp, atk, def, atk, mat, mdf, agi, luk ~~
Set enemy's stats. Values represent percentage (100 is 100%)

~~ exp, gold ~~
Set enemy's exp and gold. Values represent percentage

~~ buy, sell ~~
Affect price when buying or selling items on the shop. Values represent percentage

~~ switches ~~
Will specified set of switches to ON when a difficulty level applied. Switches should be declared in array (i.e. [1,2,3]). If you don't want to use this feature, just set it to [0]. Switches from other difficulty level will be turned OFF but you can have same switches declared on different difficulty level (See how I set switch 6 on difficulty 0 and 2 on the
example table below). Please note that switches CAN'T be turned off using normal way.

Author's Note About Switches:
In case you don't know, you can use switches for enemy skill condition. So you can set an enemy to cast different skills on different difficulty level.



Specific Enemy Setting
To override the table for certain enemies, you can write this line on enemy notebox
                Code:       

1. <param difficulty: difficultyLevel, param, value>

复制代码

example: <param difficulty: 4, def, 250>

It will set enemy's DEF on difficulty 4 to 250%. Or you can write these lines for multiple assignment
                Code:       

1. <enemy difficulty>difficultyLevel, param, valuedifficultyLevel, param, value...</enemy difficulty>

复制代码

example:
                Code:       

1. <enemy difficulty>0, mhp, 70 3, atk, 1503, def, 1254, atk, 2004, mhp, 400</enemy difficulty>

复制代码

valid arguments for enemy stats is:
                Code:       

1. mhp, mmp, atk, def, mat, mdf, agi, luk, exp, gold

复制代码

Note: default maximum stats for enemy will still be applied. For example, enemy's ATK limit is 999.


Plugin Command
In case you don't want to use Option Screen or you want to set difficulties via events, you can use plugin command.


                Code:       

1. setDifficulty Number

复制代码

example: setDifficulty 4


Plugin Parameters
                Code:       

1. Show Difficulty OptionDescription = Show Difficulty on Option WindowDefault = true

复制代码

                Code:       

1. Default DifficultyDescription = Your default starting difficulty level. This value will be replaced by game option save data.Default = 0
