DerVV's Quickie Enemy Info Chance
Version: 1.0

Introduction
This lets you begin your own custom bestiary scan book where enemies start with nothing known about them except their picture/battler (not even their name)... and you have to keep battling them to fill their stats.


Features
Not really a feature driven script. It's really designed for scripters to create their own bestiary or scan system.

#==============================================================================
#  This lets you begin your own custom bestiary scan book where enemies start
#  with nothing known about them except their picture/battler (not even their
#  name)... and you have to keep battling them to fill their stats.
#
#  NOTES:  This is only a rudimentary system, and assumes a number of things...
#          1) That the party has no familiarity with any enemy (even by name)
#          2) That all stats have an equal chance to be determined
#          3) That fighting multiple of 1 type (ala party of ghosts) increases
#             the chance to learn each stat.
#          4) That all data displayed is text data (otherwise no '???' shown )
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The key sections in this script are as follows:
#
#  EnemyChance      This module is the configuration module, setting the
#                   'chance to learn' for each enemy.  I recommend expanding.
#
#  Game_System      As values in this class are saved in all save games,
#                   I created the enemy stats here.  All enemy stats will
#                   then be saved with each save-game.
#
#  Game_EnemyData   The initialize method creates the empty values for each
#                   enemy while the refresh method assumes the player had
#                   fought it and is attempting to learn a facet or two.  It
#                   is the refresh method that works the wonders of increasing
#                   the knowledge about each enemy.  >> Here, I would make
#                   conditions like having 1 or 2 stats learned... not all
#                   having equal chances, or giving each stat a different
#                   percentage or something <<
#
#  Game_EnemySet    The initialize method creates the entire collection of
#                   enemy data for saving, the [] array method returns the
#                   data when asked (with $game_system.enemy_set[idx]), and
#                   the refresh method refreshes and updates an enemy called
#                   by its index value in the database.
#
#  Scene_Battle     The start_phase5 method is run when you won the battle,
#                   so this is where it goes through all defeated enemies
#                   and refreshes each. >> If you have multiples of one type
#                   of enemy in a troop, but only want ONE refresh, you will
#                   need to do work here. <<
#
#  Scene_EnemyData  This is a VERY rudimentary class that just shows a record
#                   for an individual enemy.... Only intended to show it work.
#                   $scene = Scene_EnemyData.new(index)
#

FAQ
This is really for scripters to make use. Sure, you can plug it into your game and run an event that draws up an ugly popup menu (really). But this is primarily for those who want to create a bestiary that doesn't give EVERYTHING away at one time.

Compatibility
Well, I wrote this in about 30 minutes on RPGMaker XP. The primary data classes are new. I leave it to scripters in other ruby languages to adapt it to their engine. But I left in a good number of notes they should be able to follow.


Credits and Thanks
Actually... Taylor. He got me thinking about it this week.


Terms and Conditions
Due credit. It's fine enough to use in a commercial project. Heck, it's only a barebone skeleton of what's needed to do what it's made to do. Not even a windows or monster/paging/selecting option.
