Enemy Levels Plugin for RPG Maker MZ

Enemies in RPG Maker MZ do not have a built-in level progression system, and
 are defined with static parameters that do not change throughout the game.
 
 This plugin allows game developers:

1.  To apply levels to enemies in their game, based on various conditions.
2.  To define how these enemies "evolve" per level, in terms of:
   1.  The Increase in their stats (Max HP, Max MP, Attack etc.)
   2.  The accumulation of skills & traits.
   3.  The increase in the amount of gold they drop when defeated.
   4.  The items they drop in each level when defeated.
   5. The EXP awarded for defeating them.
   6.  And even the the way they look in battle (the images used as  the enemy's sprites per level).
3. To apply enemy levels and the customization of enemy levels in the  following descending order (each category overriding the one preceding  it): 
   1.  As a default - all enemies in the game not otherwise customized will  be affected.
   2. Per enemy type (ID) - all enemies of a certain ID (for example - all  Goblins) not otherwise customized will be affected.
   3. Per enemy instance - specific enemies in a specific battle will be  affected.
4. To DETERMINE enemy levels:
   1. Using fixed values.
   2. Based on the game party / battling party members' levels (highest, average or lowest).
   3.  Based on the value of game variables.
   4. Based on the enemy's location data (map IDs, Map difficulty, Region  IDs).
5. To MODIFY enemy levels ("on top" of the previously determined level)  through: 
   1. Level variation definitions (the user can define a "range" instead of a fixed number), which enable level diversity within an enemy troop. 
   2. Bonus / penalty modifiers, which can be defined based on various parameters such as enemy ID, location data, the value of game  variables, weather conditions, items in the player party's possession, and the composition of the player's party.
6. To define the enemy's stats / gold / EXP increase per level in one of three different methods:
   1. Flat - a fixed value will be added to each parameter per level.
      For example: a fixed value of 5 will be added to max HP per level.
      The formula for calculating a stat's value (where 'base' is the original value in the database): base + (flat rate * (level - 1)). 
   2. Relative - a percentage of the current value of the parameter will be added to it when progressing to the next level. For example: if the value of ATK at level 4 is 20, and the defined relative progression rate for this parameter is 20% per level, then the value of ATK at level 5 will be 24 (20 + 4).
      The formula for calculating a stat's value in this case: 
      base * (relative rate ** (level - 1)).
   3. Flat & Relative - a combination of both methods.  The formula for calculating a stat's value in this case:
      ((((((base * relative rate) + flat rate) * relative rate) + flat rate)  * relative rate) + flat rate)... (and so on for the required number of levels - 1). 
7. To change enemy levels mid-battle through a plugin command, or allow the player's party to do the same through the application of items or skills. 
8. To Define whether or not to display the enemy's name & level above their sprite during battle, and if display - the textual format in which to display it.

31.1.2025 Update:  Uploaded an updated version of the plugin, making it now COMPATIBLE with my "Customized Dynamically Generated Chest Loot" plugin. This means that if you place an enemy troop to "guard" the treasure chest, the LEVELED parameters of its members (such as levels, stats, skills & traits) can be taken into account  when customizing / calculating the amount and type of loot in the chest. See further details and explanations in the page dedicated to the "loot" plugin.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you intend to use both plugins together, you need to download the current versions of BOTH (which is recommended anyway).

All features and required parameters are explained in detail in the plugin's help section.

Since this project and other projects on my page are my first attempts at plugin coding, any constructive feedback is welcome and appreciated. If you encounter a bug or any other problem, please report it in a comment and I will do my best to fix it. You may also request additional features.

If you used the plugin and thought it was good, please take a few seconds to leave a good rating or review, it really helps getting it out there!

And finally - The plugin is free to use and you are welcome to it. However, If you find that you can donate a few dollars to support my work, on this project and future ones, it will be very much appreciated, as a LOT of time and effort went into it. Enjoy!
