LunaTechs MV/MZ Plugins & Tools

LunaTechsDev · 2020-09-10T10:59:18+0900

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…

Hello! For the limitation it's good for games where you have to find a more optimal bag! :cutesmile:For me, it would be nice to be able to also deactivate the confirmation window, (a simple click on the object is enough) and to be able to transform the graphics of the windows.

Hello
Thanks for all those plugins, I'm already using some of them.

Quick question about the Quit2Desktop for MV.
It seems like there's a compatibility issue with Mog_TitlePictureCommands

here's the error I have when I lunch my game:

I don't have that picture in my folder and I don't need it. It works perfectly fine without the Quit2Desktop plugin.

If you think it's an easy fix, is it possible to give it a try please?

Thank you very much!

Edit : I also have some kind of bug with the GamePauseMV plugin
I've set the space bar as a pause button but once the game is paused, I can't unpause it unless I press the escape key.

I believe so yes, but the update speed is slow as there's a lot going on with each individual member. @Oddball

Hi LunaTechs,

I'm new to RPGMaker MZ and just wanted to say your Qplugins are awesome. I love the pixel movement and collision maps. I don't really know what I'm doing quite yet, but it's fun. thank you and good luck!

I'm new to using Rpg Maker in general and just discovering plugins. The Qplugins seem great but I have no idea how to take them from you and put them in my RMMZ game project. What exactly do I need to do to get these working in my project? I've only ever used a couple plugins (And they were as simple as dragging a single js file into my js folder and they were good to go! This seems a bit more involved) Any help will be appreciated! Is there a guide somewhere or a tutorial video or something that a newby like me could understand?

@MalibuLizard -
First, you're going to want to go to this page (the link in the OP sometimes doesn't behave if you're not logged into github/don't have a github account): https://github.com/LunaTechsDev/Luna-QPlugins/releases (and this page, if you want their QMap Editor: https://github.com/LunaTechsDev/LunaQMapEditor/releases)

Spoiler
You'll click "Assets", scroll down, and pick one of the plugins you want (not the versions that have MV in the title). Don't download the two things that say "Source code", those won't give you the plugins in the format that works in MZ.

Spoiler
Have QPlus at the top (that's the core plugin, the others require it), followed by the plugins you want to use. The order I used in my MV project, with the original Qplugins (and excluding the ones that haven't been ported over yet), was:
- QPlus
- QMovement
- QCollisionMap
- QPathfind
- QMap
After that, you'll want to heavily consult the plugins' help files. While you can do that with just the plugin manager, I always recommend people look at https://quxios.github.io/plugins as that has all of the help files of the original MV plugins. (The plugin commands in the MZ version have been converted into the MZ type plugin commands, so you don't have to type the commands yourself except for QMovement's Move Route commands.)
(If the images don't work let me know, they were just a Win+Shift+S and paste rather than saving them to Imgur like I usually do.)

This seems to have worked! Thank you very much for taking the time to write it all out :D You made it super simple!

So I went back to messing with your version of QMap. Using a new project, I added Luna_QPlus, Luna_QMovement and Luna_QMap.... I did a save on a map with a map object, then tried to load and was greeted with this error. Figured I'd mention it.

Was having a hard time trying to make this work in RPGMZ, it really works great. Thank you for the tutorial and links. :)

Edit: Also thanks, I love how easy they are to use, I have a learning disibility, so it's a night mare trying to get stuff working sometimes when it has errors. I am crediting you for the 2 plugins in my credits. "Version/Copywrite" Did I spell that right?

Are you planning on making a "Show Event Names" on the map above their heads?
I am really trying to find one, but the one I found hates my other plugins :(

Hey @Makeratore Kino is correct that I've been busy and indulging in other ventures but I am still slowly chipping away at QPlugins and I should have QPathfind ready for release by the end of the week. QMap will need to take some extra time due to it being built with React and Electron making it a bit more time consuming for me.

For everyone here who has been eagerly waiting for my slow self to release more QPlugins is there any specific QPlugin that you absolutely want/need to be released? I can start focusing on that specific plugin and get that released faster than me picking at all of them in my spare time xD
Thank you for your work porting Qplugins to MZ; porting my project from MV would not be possible otherwise!! Much love for your time & work ethic. I love this community.

I would like to shamelessly beg for a port of QFollowers, a plugin that adds follower functionality to QMovement. This single plugin is critical to my Mario & Luigi inspired game. When simply dragging and dropping the original MV version of QFollowers into MZ, it almost completely works with one exception in the code:

Game_Followers.prototype.synchronize = function(x, y, dir) {
var chara = $gamePlayer;
this.forEach(function(follower) {
follower.copyPosition(chara);
follower.straighten();
follower.setDirection(chara.direction());
follower.clearList();
}, this);
};

This chunk of code gives the error "this.forEach is not a function". Other than this error, the plugin works fine with your Luna ports as is. Perhaps porting this could be as easy as solving this error? My game and I would be IMMENSELY grateful! <3

Hi there! I'm new to RPG Maker, so I know I'm going to make a stupid question...
I'm trying to use Luna Picture Window plugin (MZ), but the plugin command "Close Window" doesn't actually close the window. It stays on the screen and the only way to get it shut down is to right click with the mouse to the menu and then right clicking again. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Does the casefile plugin work for weapons and armor too?
ShadowDragon

#98 Mar 2, 2022, 02:20 PM Source

@LeetMusic it works in the way you want to show it.
you can show any type of files, casefiles, item list, weapon list,
maybe bestiary to show monsters you entoured if you are creative.

however you use it is entirely up to you though, depending what
you want to show and what information.

Hello!

Why does RPG Maker MZ's Plugin Manager ouput, that the QPlugins are possibly not designed to be used in this Engine/Version and may behave incompatibel?
I think they got ported?

Kind Regards
