[CGMZ] Treasure Maps (Patreon)

Hi all,

This is the last port from CSCA plugins, now all my CSCA and CGMV plugins are on CGMZ! I will be resuming making original CGMZ plugins as a result, and will have a poll for Patrons to vote on the next CGMZ plugin.

This plugin creates a treasure map system which can include a map image and a description, and can even have multiple different images for each "stage" of the treasure map. Once completed (the treasure is found), a timestamp is recorded and the window will display the time that the treasure map was completed.

This was quite a simple plugin back in VX Ace and it is still somewhat simple in MZ, though now there are a lot more customizations and options in the plugin. The display window uses my new method for allowing complete customization of what is shown and in which order, as you could drag and drop the Description above the Image, or remove the description all together by deleting it in the plugin parameters. This new way of allowing complete control over display windows will be coming to other CGMZ plugins in the future as well.

The following is planned for this plugin prior to Beta release:
1) Additional customization of toast window

As always, if you have any other suggestions or feature requests, leave a comment below or in the #suggestions channel in my discord.

Happy RPG Making!

Beta Update Feb 6, 2023: This plugin is now in beta! This plugin has had more customization options added to the Discover and Completion toasts, including allowing use of some new toast options such as using a custom windowskin tone.

Beta R2 Update: Hi all, this plugin has been updated to Beta R2 today 🎉!

This update has added an icon property to treasure maps, which will display next to their name in the list and display windows, and optionally in toast windows. Speaking of toasts, there is now a toast window for when a map's stage gets updated. Toast windows were also converted to use the new CGMZ Core Toast setup function, which means the option to choose a different windowskin was added to toast window settings, but it also means you will need to re-set up your toast parameters.

This update also adds a bunch of other small features that have become standard across my other plugins: You can now change each window's windowskin, you can change the header line gradient colors, you can have the list window on the right side of the screen, and you can use up the Touch UI space if Touch UI is disabled. See below for some of the new features in action:

Along with new features, some bugs were fixed. The map names will now reset text color automatically in case a previous map name in the list window had a text color, preventing text color from bleeding into other map names. The display window will also no longer slightly scroll with the list window. This plugin will also now warn in the dev tools console instead of crashing when invalid JSON in a parameter is detected. These warnings are still important for you to fix, as the parameter with invalid JSON will not work properly until fixed.
