LunaTechs MV/MZ Plugins & ToolsThis is the official LunaTechs plugin and tools thread. You can expect to find links to a variety of our plugins and tools that we'll be creating for both MV and MZ using our custom tooling. You can expect updates from us every Wednesday regarding new plugins and tools that we're working on for the RPGMakerMV and MZ community. We're a group of plugin developers that have come together to create better plugins that work across both MV and MZ for developers. We love the community and because of that, one of our missions is to provide the community with a large selection of free MIT Open Source plugins as a majority of our contribution back to the community. We're taking the approach of being both a user and a plugin developer as we use these plugins to create our own games. This is just the tip of the iceberg and we have much more to show later. Plugins Luna Surveyor Luna surveyor is a debug tool that allows you to perform a variety of tasks in RPGMakerMV/MZ all through a simple UI. You can: Add items to the player inventory Open the debug console Update game switches Update game variables Run script calls through the scripting tab See map information See event information See the number of party members and who is in the current party You can also hide/show the debug menu and it works on any scene within the game And more features to come Versions MZ MV Luna Text Speed Control This plugin allows you to set up your own text speeds within the message window, along with setting defaults and allowing or disallowing forward skipping of the text when the mouse button or ok input is triggered within the message window. Versions MZ MV Luna Unique Items This plugin allows you to set up unique items in your database. This allows you to have only one of that type of item throughout your RPG adventure. A very useful plugin to have if you want to have a specific sword or item that can only be obtained once and can't be stacked with other items. Versions MZ MV Luna Item Sounds A plugin made for RPGMaker MV/MZ that allows you to change the sound for equipping or using items in your game. A useful plugin for when you want to have items make different sounds on use such as potions and mega potions having different sound effects. Versions MZ MV Luna Experience Share This plugin allows you to modify how experience is shared amongst your reserved party members. By default RPGMakerMV/MZ only allows you to share all of the experience or none of the experience. With this plugin, you can change the rate to be whatever you want it to be for reserved members. Versions MZ MV Luna Press Start This plugin adds a small press start or any text you desire to the title screen, before opening up to the title menu. Similar to old school games and some new games to this day. The map mode variation adds press start when you enter the map if you decide to skill or not use the original MV/MZ title screen. Versions MZ MZ Map Mode MV MV Map Mode Luna Licenses This plugin adds a new license option to the title screen which leads to a new scene for displaying any license information for your game from a text file. It will scroll through all the license information from the text file and display it on screen. Versions MZ MV Luna Separators A list of separator plugins for sectioning off your plugins within the PluginManager list by their usefulness. We have different versions to suit your tastes. Versions Dollar Sign Equal Signs Dashes At Symbol 9/16/2020 Luna More Fonts A plugin that allows you to add additional fonts to your game through a "fonts/" folder. This will allow other plugins to make use of the font within the RPGMakerMV/MZ game. This plugin allows you to use custom fonts in Luna Copyright and Luna Version Number. With more to come! Versions MZ MV Luna Copyright A plugin that adds a copyright message to your main title screen. Versions MZ MV Luna Version Number A plugin that adds a version number to the main title screen. This allows testers and other consumers who buy your game to know what version of the game they're playing. Versions MZ MV Luna Quit to Desktop Made by inc0der This plugin adds options to quit directly to the desktop directly in the main menu, title, or game exit scenes! A valuable feature that's available in many games these days. You can find the plugin here! 9/23/2020 Luna Map Name Plus An RPGMakerMV/MZ game plugin that improves the map name window for RPGMaker MZ/MV. This adds a marquee effect and additionally allows you to keep the map name window permanently on the screen. Versions MZ MV Luna Game Pause This RPGMakerMV/MZ plugin allows you to have a pause screen PS1 style, where the in game time is stopped. A useful thing to have for people who care about their in game time for completion or time tracking reasons. You can even map the key for the menu to pop up. Versions MZ MV Luna Picture Window A plugin that adds a picture window that you can call on demand with plugin commands in…

Really appreciate Kino updating the Luna Map Name Plus with persistant display after battles. Looking forward to the script/plugin command to hide/show it.

@MikeMakes

The changes have been made and should be available for you to use in your own project with plugin command support for MZ and script call support for MV.

Nice, QPlugins ported over!

Are you guys going to port QMap and QABS? Those are two of my absolute favorite Qplugins.
inc0der

#25 Oct 15, 2020, 12:03 AM Source

@Sleepy Kitten Games Yes, in fact, both of those exact plugins are in progress and should be available soon. QABS may take a bit longer due to the requirment of MV animation fallback support for MZ as well as including effekser animations on map. QMap will most likely be ready within the next couple of days since I plan to use it for our Hawktober Game Jam game.

The main plan is to get all major QPlugins working in MZ with updated plugin commands and parameters while ensuring compatability wit MV still, and then we will do bug fixes and new features after all major QPlugins have been "stable" enough to run in MZ.

EDIT:
For those interested, the Github repo is open to the public, all plugins currently available have been split into modules so it makes it very easy to work with. If you want to help or have issues you would like to report, feel free to submit an issue or a PR.

The link for Qplugins in the first post doesn't work, this one is ok.

That's exciting news (for when I finally get my own copy of MZ - the demo was fun to play with for the 20 days I could)!

Huh, I didn't think anybody would port them. Well if you port QSprite, you'll have ported every QPlugin I use. Nice job! :LZSexcite:

Hello. Thanks for your plugins collection. They're really great.

A small remark however concerning the "Luna Game Pause" plugin: the text area is not really centered in the window, and a little too narrow to display a long text.

Before

The good news is that with a few small improvements in the code, we can get that.

After

I opened an issue in the GitHub repo. Hope this can help. :ehappy:

We've made the update based on the pull request; we appreciate the feedback! @r66r
The plugin should be updated in the main post now.

Hiya there! Just got finished porting QMap and updating QMap Editor to work with MZ projects! Also updated the editor to use the latest electron version, which in theory, may improve performance..

Only available for Windows at the moment but QMap Editor will recieve linux and mac support in the future.

Unfortunately it looks like both of these links just lead to Github's 404 page.

These two links do work, though.
I downloaded the LunaQMapEditor-Setup-win10-x64.exe file from the QMapEditor Release Page, and when I tried opening an existing project this error appeared any time I tried using the right mouse button or the mouse wheel to move around the map (zooming worked just fine, though). I'm assuming it's because I can't get access to the new QMap.js and QPlus.js files?

Appears links don't work for those not a member of the GitHub repository, so I made a couple of changes to the repository and now have it so the plugins are downloadable from the release page.

Releases · LunaTechsDev/Luna-QPlugins
Under the Pre-Release version "Nightly Build" click the "Assets" word and it should display all plugins including the MV versions. The Nightly Build will always have the latest updates, kind of like a beta release, in the future I will change it so official releases(v1.x.x) also have the same links available.

As for the QMap Editor mouse click issue, I actually fixed that today, it was an issue due to the updated Electron. I've also added a small welcome screen with the most recently opened projects and I will create a release tonight or tomorrow with the changes.

EDIT: Nightly build is available on the release page for LunaQMapEditor

@ThePedro004 I'm having problems replicating the issue as everything appears to be working fine on my end. If you don't mind letting me know when and where this error occurs, and if you could provide a screenshot of the console log, then I would love to help figure this out with you.

Seems something got mixed up for the Show Colliders param in Luna_QMovementMV:

Spoiler

And when I try opening the QMapEditor (after downloading from the release page, I'm always greeted with a completely blank window. I've tried re-downloading it, but it doesn't seem to work.

#36 Oct 17, 2020, 12:20 PM Source

The messed-up parameter was due to MZ's new @command tag, I hate it lol Anyway, I pushed an update to the repository which should fix any MV parameters problems from here on out. As always, you can get the latest version from the releases page under Nightly Build.

Releases · LunaTechsDev/Luna-QPlugins
For the QMapEditor not displaying anything for you, that is strange, it worked fine for me last night and is working fine for me right now. I will do some more debugging later to see if I can find out what the problem is. In the meantime, I guess you could try totally unisntalling QMap editor and then re-downloading and installing it again but you made it sound liike that is something you've already tried.

We just released two new plugins as part of Wednesday Tea Time! You can find them in the first port.

Hi Luna Techs,

I've just added your Copyright and VersionNumber MV plugins to my project and it threw just a couple of errors at me. I've found and fixed the issue, but for anyone else wanting to use those plugins for MV they may not want to touch them...

It's a really simple thing of the lines i've got below have an extra ; between the last two )

Copyright lines: 368 and 417
Version Number: 365 and 414

I've just removed the extra ; and have had no problems with them since.

#39 Oct 25, 2020, 12:17 AM Source

Hey Usaku-chan, we will take a look at these and fix those two lines and see why that might have happened. Thank you for mentioning it! @Usaku-chan

Edit: 10/24/2020
It's been updated accordingly and fixed for MV!

I'm using the Luna Case Files in my project in MZ, followed the instructions for items with <LNCFile> in notebox, and add items to player inventory, but when I call the scene with LunaCaseFiles.gotoCaseFileScene() it just shows the scene, with Case Files in the upper left, but none of the case file items I created, and they are in my players inventory, I double checked.
