Deck Status Contents

The List of things the Deck Status Window will display.

This parameter is an array, where each index in the array adds a new line to the Deck Status Window. These are the things that can be listed in the Deck Status Contents:

Cost	The total DP cost of the deck's cards / the actor's max DP
Type	The number of cards in each Type in the deck. Will only display as many types as the window has room for.

You can make multiple items share a line on the window by separating them with commas, like so:

Name, Count, Cost

Doing so may not give them enough room to display comfortably, depending on the width of the window specified in the Deck Status Width plugin parameter. In addition, Type always takes up a full line.

Version History

**v1.1.0** - Added Deck Points feature
         You can now customize what info is in the Deck Status window. Doing
         so will change its height based on the amount of lines added.
         Deck Status text now turns red if that component of the deck is 
         illegal (eg, if you have too many cards the card count text turns 
         red)
         Card Amount Text will now be red if the number of copies exceeds
         max.
         Fixed touch input for MV. MZ's is still a little wonky.

         Fixed bug where editing a deck that's currently equipped doesn't
         affect deck in battle unless you manually equip it again.
         Removing the last card from the deck will now activate the library
         list so the player can still make inputs other than cancel.
         Fixed MV bug where the final plugin param's name and description
         would use MZ's plugin command name and description.
**v1.0.0** - Released plugin
