Note
While this plugin's already fully functional, there are still many more modules to be implemented, so the feature set isn't complete yet.

Introduction
*    1. This plugin aims to be the most flexible, performant and powerful
*       ATB system with the greatest amount of freedom for users to fulfill
*       as many functional needs as they want in as many ways as they want
*    2. You may want to treat this as a nano ATB framework as part of the
*       system's written by you via parameters/configurations/notetags/calls
*    3. Almost every parameters and notetags can be written as direct
*       JavaScript, thus giving you the maximum amount of control over them
*    4. (VERY ADVANCED)You can even change most of those JavaScript codes
*       written by you on the fly(and let your players do so with a system
*       settings plugin), but you should only do so if you really know what
*       you're truly doing

* upon a single full ATB or gain 1 upon each full ATB then empties
* the ATB afterwards until the number of virtual action slots
* reaches the limited specified by Action Times+)
* - Lets you abandon the concept of virtual action slots altogether
* and base the action cost in the form of subtracting the battler
* ATB value
* 4. Combo Module
* - Lets you set some charging skills/items made by different
* battlers to form a new combo skills under certain conditions
* 5. Escape Module
* - Lets you set the conditions allowing party escape attempt

Possibly Upcoming Modules

* 1. Type Module
* - Lets you have multiple ATB bars for each battler
* - THIS MODULE MUST BE THE LAST MODULE TO BE DONE AS IT'LL CHANGE
* JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THIS PLUGIN AND THUS AFFECTS ALMOST
* EVERYTHING IN EVERY OTHER MODULE

* they become usable actions that can be inputted by battlers
* 8. Lets you set some skills to demand a set period to cool down before

* 9. Adds a parameter for each sprite/window class to be called per
* frame so you can control which parameter cache to be
* enabled/disabled
* 10. Fixes the discrete order battler sprite position bugs when the

Inherited Behaviors From The Default RMMV Battle System

* Action Speed:
* 1. The battlers that are ready to execute actions will be pushed into
* the First-In-First-Out action execution queue, which is sorted by
* the speed of the action to be executed by the battlers descendingly
* 2. To ensure battlers with extremely slow actions can still execute
* them, the action speed of all battlers in the action execution
* queue will be added by the 2000(the maximum action speed in the
* default RMMV editor) divided by the number of battlers in that
* queue, meaning that the longer the battler's in the queue, the more
* such action speed bonuses will be received by that battler, so that
* battler will be placed more and more up front in the queue
* 3. All these can be changed in the Speed Module
* Action Times+(Not fully applicable with the Action Module enabled):
* 1. Every battler always has at most 1 real action slot, meaning that
* each battler can only input 1 action at a time
* 2. A battler also has at most the number of virtual action slots equal
* to the number of action slots with Action Times+ in the default
* RMMV battle system
* 3. When a battler's no virtual action slot and becomes able to input
* actions, Action Times+ will be used to determine the new number of
* virtual action slots
* 4. When a battler has finished executing an action, the number of
* virtual action slot will be reduced by 1. If that battler still has
* virtual action slots, then the ATB value of that battler won't be
* reduced(technically, it's reduced by an extremely small amount) and
* can immediately input actions again(unless the ATB value's changed
* by some other reasons like battler script calls); If that battler
* has no more virtual action slots, then the ATB value of that
* battler will be cleared to become 0 or remain unchanged if it was
* negative
* Party Escape(Not fully applicable with the Action and/or Escape Module
* enabled):
* 1. Each actor will have his/her/its virtual action slot reduced by 1
* upon a failed party escape attempt, as if it were just another
* normnal action costing 1 virtual action slot
* 2. However, failed escape attempts won't increase the battle turn
* clock counter even if its unit is the number of actions executed
* Agility(Not fully applicable with the Rate Module enabled):
* 1. The fill rate of the battler ATB value will be multiplied by the
* agility of that battler divided by the average of those of all
* battlers in the battle
* States With Removal Timing As Action End(Not fully applicable with the
* Countdown Module enabled):
* 1. The turn counter of such states will be reduced by 1 when the
* battler owning these states have just finished executing an action
* States With Removal Timing As Turn End(Not fully applicable with the
* Countdown Module enabled):
* 1. The turn counter of such states will be reduced by 1 when the
* battle turn counter increases by 1(i.e., the current turn ends)
* Buff Turns Are Updated Upon Turn End Rather Than Action End
* Battler ATB Value With Preemptive Battle Start(Not fully applicable
* with the Start Module enabled):
* 1. The actor ATB value will be immediately fully filled while those of
* enemies will be immediately empty
* Battler ATB Value With Surprise Battle Start(Not fully applicable with
* the Start Module enabled):
* 1. The enemy ATB value will be immediately fully filled while those of
* actors will be immediately empty
* Battler ATB Value With Normal Battle Start(Not fully applicable with
* the Start Module enabled):
* 1. The ATB value of all battlers will be immediately empty
* Battlers Becoming Hidden/Unmovable
* 1. Their ATB values will be reset to 0 if they're not negative before
* 2. Their number of virtual action slots will be reset to 0


Current Technical Limitations

* 1. The ATB frame update can never be run when either of the following
* conditions are met:
* - The battle's starting, aborting or ending
* - The game message's showing in the battle
* - The battle event's running
* Violating any of these conditions might outright crash the game
* 2. Party escape's always disabled when either of the following
* conditions are met:
* - The battler sprites/action animations are animating/playing
* - The log window's displaying messages
* - Battlers are executing actions
* - The game message's showing in the battle
* Violating any of these conditions might outright crash the game
* (Actually it should also be disabled when battle event's running
* but trying to enforce this's itself a current technical limitation)
* 3. Only 1 actor can input actions at a time
* - Violating this, if possible to be compatible with this plugin,
* would be implemented with a separate plugin
* 4. Only 1 battler can execute actions at a time
* - Violating this, if possible to be compatible with this plugin,
* would be implemented with a separate plugin
* 5. A battler can only execute 1 action at a time
* - Violating this, if possible to be compatible with this plugin,
* would be implemented with a separate plugin
* 6. Having too many effective notetags full of nondeterministic results
* will lead to severe performance issues especially on android device
* 7. Having too many effective notetags calling extremely long functions
* will lead to the save files being too big
* 8. In extremely rare cases, the actor action inputting commands might
* be temporarily unresponsive for a very short time(It's to prevent
* crashing the game instead in really weird cases I've truly faced)
* 9. Projects using this plugin with full active ATB mode and Bar Module
* enabled can be hard to maintain 60FPS on mobile phones that aren't
* especially powerful


Author Notes

* 1. DoubleX RMMV Superlative ATB aims to give extreme control and
* freedom to users by making it as flexible as I can with as little
* damage to user-friendliness as I can
* 2. The configuration plugin is generally for more advanced uses, as
* most ordinary cases should be covered by parameters and notetags
* 3. This is an advanced complex plugin, meaning that you're expected to
* use the default parameters and configuration values first to be
* familiar with playing the demo of this plugin before changing any
* of those values and/or using any notetags
* 4. You might have to use some script calls in RMMV and some of those
* provided by this plugin to realize some of the more advanced uses
* 5. If you want to keep things easy, simple and small, you may want to
* use DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB instead
* 6. If you want to run battle tests, you must open the configuration
* plugin js file directly to setup everything that has to be setup
* upon battle test start by changing the contents of the function
* SATB.onSetupBattleTest
* (It's especially useful when some parameters/notetags use some
* game switches/variables which must all have their corresponding
* values manually assigned first)
* 7. (Advanced)You might have to have a basic knowledge on what the
* implementation plugin does in general to fully utilize this plugin
* in intended ways and solid understanding on how this implementation
* plugin works in details to fully utilize this plugin with creative
* and unintended uses
* 8. (Advanced)You might have to read some new variables/functions to
* have a basic knowledge on what they do in general in order to
* realize some intended cases
* 9. (Advanced)You might have to dig into the mechanisms of some new
* variables/functions to have a solid underatanding on how they work
* alone in details in order to realize some unintended usages


FAQ

* Q1. What's the main differences between DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB and
* this plugin?
* A1. There are at least 2 main differences:
* - The former uses the core addon approach, meaning that the core
* plugin, which is mandatory, will only have all the essential
* features, and each addon plugin, which is optional, will only have
* each set of extra features. This is useful when many users only
* use a small amount of the feature set provided by
* DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB.
* On the other hand, the latter uses the single plugin approach,
* meaning that all the feature implementations will be included in a
* single plugin, even though unit tests and compatibility fixes will
* still be separate plugins. This is useful when many users use a
* large amount of the feature set provided by this plugin.
* - The former aims to be easy, simple and small while still being
* reasonably powerful for both users and ATB system plugin
* learners, while the latter aims to be the most flexible and
* powerful ATB system plugin ever by giving users the deepest and
* widest amount of control and freedom ever, thus making it much,
* much more demanding for both users and ATB system plugin learners.
* Q2. May you please make this plugin less demanding? The sheer number of
* parameters/configurations/notetags, most demanding Javascript
* function contents as values, are extremely overwhelming for less
* capable users. It's just far from being user-friendly enough.
* A2. While it's clearly my fault that makes this plugin so hard to use,
* I've already tried my best while still preserving the flexibility
* and power of thie plugin by maintaining the depth and width of
* control and freedom available for users.
* As for the sheer number of parameters/configurations/notetags, this
* plugin aims to include everything in a single plugin, which is
* preferred for some users.
* In case this plugin's really too hostile, you may want to use
* DoubleX RMMV Popularized ATB, which is much easier, simpler and
* smaller while still being reasonably powerful, instead. Also, it
* breaks each set of features into 1 plugin, meaning that you won't
* have to face a sheer number of parameters/configurations/notetags
* there.
* Alternatively, you can ask for help if you still want to use this
* plugin, if the demo doesn't provide enough help already.
* Q3. Why the Core Module itself doesn't show the ATB value of any
* battler and why doesn't it let players change among inputable
* actors? All these are essential UX features. Without them, using
* just the Core Module can only result in a fully broken ATB system.
* (Well, not being able to change the ATB wait conditions sucks too)
* A3. It's because these features aren't technically essential to run an
* ATB system plugin, nor they're behaviors inherited from the default
* RMMV battle system(It doesn't let you change the input sequence nor
* show the actual action execution sequence). All these features that
* are missing in the Core Module are covered in the Bar Module and
* Hotkey Module(The similar logic applies to the Wait Module). That's
* why only these 3 optional modules are enabled by default(All the
* other optional modules are disabled so you don't have to deal with
* so many modules all at once before being familiar with this plugin).
* Q4. Why the Bar Module doesn't use notetags? Isn't it going against the
* very goal of this plugin?
* A4. It's because it's very unlikely that anyone will need to use such
* notetags. If I added them anyway, the sheer number of notetags that
* almost no one's going to use would be too much of a nuance and
* clutter for users to access the functionalities that they really
* want. In case such notetags are indeed needed, I'll implement the
* needed ones, and perhaps one day all those notetags would be done.
* Q5. (Advanced)Why the caching mechanism's so complicated and convoluted
* in this plugin? It's extremely costly and troublesome to work around
* when I've some unintended and creative uses of this plugin.
* A5. It's because this plugin explicitly allows many effective notetags
* to be used in the same frame, which can cause significant lag and
* fps drop if the end result's not cached, epsecially when the
* functions called by those notetags are computationally expensive.
* This plugin's to balance among multiple key aspects, so I'm sorry
* that your use cases have to be at least slightly sacrificed for
* performance stability and ease of use for intended and ordinary use
* cases, which are likely much more common and important. That's the
* main reason why decent RMMV plugin development proficiency is needed
* to fully utilize this plugin with creative and unintended uses.
