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.

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.

Hi we made a small update to this because the item descriptions in the editor are too short.

It should work if you use the tag

<LNCFile>
Text here
</LNCFile>

In the notebox. I will make an update with this change in parameters by the end of the day.

The Luna QPlugins link is broken.

Will update that soon, the link in the main post correct? @Resurrection Games which one? As I get a zip when clicking on the link for the QPlugins.

Posted about this on itch.io but I figure I'll mention it here too for visibility - the mouse system plugin seems to read incorrectly for me when I'm running the game in fullscreen. The custom graphic is like, a couple hundred pixels down and to the right of where there real cursor is, resulting in some pretty funky issues.

There seems to be a weird bug with the QMap Editor, with regards to adding sprites.
Adding the spritesheet as an object:

Spoiler
Setting the number of rows/columns:

Spoiler
What the selector shows:

Spoiler
Trying to select a different sprite graphic:

Spoiler
After clicking "Ok", the graphic of the object doesn't change, it's still the sprite from the top left of the sheet.
Full and animated objects work just fine, it's just sprites that have this behavior.
(I also noticed that animated things seem to animate too quickly - both the animated water tiles and animated objects in the editor. Though this could also be a bug caused by my hardware rather than the editor, because at least at one point I saw it animating at the correct speed.)

Spoiler
The speed of that fire object is 15, the default speed value.
EDIT:
Looks like using a tileset image as a "spritesheet" and setting the columns/rows to 16 works as expected with the selector, interestingly. Although clicking "ok" on any of the other "sprites" still doesn't switch it off of the top left object.

Any update on the broken q plugin link? :kaocry: have had the same problem as res for a while.

Edit:
Err, had to create a github account, apparently it 404s unless you're logged in so I guess it's private or something.

Edit 2:
In the production zip folder downloaded there are only three plugins (the same 3 for mz and mv) but more than 3 listed, are the others somewhere else? xD

Hey @Riazey @Sleepy Kitten Games @MinjoMaster , will take a look at this and get back to you to handle the issues.

I can confirm what @Riazey says, it looks like if you're logged into a github account you can get the download from the OP, but if you aren't logged in/don't have an account it just brings you to the 404 page.

I think I've also discovered another consistent graphical glitch of some kind with the QMap Editor, this time to do with rendering the tiles as they appear in MZ.
This is how the first map in the map hierarchy (map #001) looks directly in the MZ editor:

Spoiler
As expected, this is how it looks in the QMap Editor:

Spoiler

However, for other maps, it completely breaks. This happens with other maps using the MZ RTP as well as other maps using different tilesets. I've also noticed that switching between maps changes how the QMap Editor renders the maps.
This map also uses the MZ RTP:

Spoiler
But in the QMap Editor, it instead looks like this:

Spoiler

As for switching between maps changing the rendering, here's how one map looks in the MZ editor:

Spoiler
If I click on a map that's 100% QMap objects (nothing in the MZ editor) that use the graphics included in the VisuStella plugin sample project, and then back onto this map, this is what it shows:

Spoiler
If I switch back to the first map I showed (the one that renders exactly what the map looks like in the editor) and back to this one, now it looks like this in the QMap Editor:

Spoiler
(Sometimes, I've noticed that if I stay on that map for a few seconds, the map changes from this to the one below.)
Then, after I grabbed the screenshot, uploaded it to imgur, and pasted the link into here, going back shows that it looks like this:

Just wanted to pop in real quick and add that the <noTilemap> command from Qplus doesn't seem to work <3

Can you add a setting to the plugin to change the words, "Case Files" in the Luna Case Files plugin?

I wanted to make it say something else, like, "Text Messages"

So I went to open the Luna QMap Editor and was greeted with this....

Am I missing something? Both the standalone and install version of 4.3 and 4.2 give me this. I had to go all the way back to 4.1.1 to get a load option. :kaoswt:

It's been added and updated to include a text title option for the scene.

Hello! Appreciate the work that you guys are doing, especially in regards to QABS and the other Q plugins. I made a thread regarding addition of wind-up animations in QABS but am now wondering if it might be best to ask it here.

Please let me know if that's alright and if you have any insights into these issues I'm having (which I describe in the thread).

@Riazey @ImaginaryVillain @Sleepy Kitten Games About QPlugins, I had to take a break recently due to mental health and since I'm the one whom started the project, things just kind of gridned to a halt. I'm starting to get back iinto the daily grind and I should have some updates for everyone within a week or so, stay tuned and thanks for all the patience and great bug reporting.

I'm really curious to see what additions you could make to Luna Minimal Map Inventory.
This is a script that I would like to use. For now, it lacks a bit of elasticity, a bit.

If you have suggestions, let us know and we'll look into adding those features!

I've been finding QMap places maps 36 pixels lower than it says, so I've had to place images at Y: -36 to make them line up with the top of the map.

Also QCollisionMap at line 82 says....
this.container.addChild(this.collisionMap);

...instead of....
this.container.removeChild(this.collisionMap);

...So any image loaded stays loaded, instead of clearing. You'll probably want to update that.
