[MV & MZ] Custom Main Menu UI using WYSIWYG Editor

Hey there! :D

Big fan of your plugin!
I'd like to ask if it was possible to change/alter what's being shown in the menu like in the picture with your plugin?

I'd like the main menu to show the current equipment, and durability/custom parameters!

Yeah, showing equipment is a great suggestion, especially for single-actor menus!

Weapon durability however, could be a bit difficult because the custom parameter section allows only 1 parameter. When it's just for the weapon, you can do that already now by identifying the code snippet, but for all the equipments I don't know yet whether I will program it.

Uhhh.. I'm in dire straits here and desperately need help.

I installed this plugin and tried to run the game the tinker with it, and it crashed with the warning that I need RMMZ vers 1.8.0 or 1.9.0 (not certain which it said now) - but my RMMZ is up to date, so not sure what that was about.

Anyway, I tried to reopen RMMZ and can no longer do so. I get the RPG Maker MZ splash screen but the editor will not appear. I can only see this in my task bar, but clicking it does nothing.



I thought I'd just delete the .js file that I downloaded here because that's obviously triggered the issue, but it persists. I reinstalled RMMZ from scratch, same thing. I backed up my game folder, deleted it, and reinstalled RMMZ again hoping that would be a fresher install without a game project for it to try to load, but nothing. I simply cannot use RMMZ any more.

Has this issue cropped up before and is there a known way to fix this because I'm completely lost.

The error message you saw should have instructed you to go to "RPG Maker -> Game -> Update Core Scripts". Did this message show up for you?

Instead of deleting this plugin,

- Disable the plugin in the plugin manager
- Remove the "uicustom" folder from your game's project directory

Thank you for a speedy reply!

Soul-crushing dread averted, the issue is resolved! I couldn't go in to the plugin manager or the update core settings because my RMMZ editor literally wouldn't open at all any more, but the issue was I had to right click it in the task bar and maximise it because for some reason its windowed version was invisible (or reduced to a single pixel or something?). I'm up and running again and no longer freaking out :)

I'm not sure if that's a fault with the plugin, it's likely more to do with the fact I dual monitor with two different resolutions (1920x1080 and 3840x2160) and I've had the odd bug before but never like this. But I'm sure it's a weirdness on my end anyway.

I've updated the core script and ran the game with the plugin and didn't get a crash this time! So that's a relief!


This might be a silly question now at this point but perhaps I'm overlooking something simple -I've opened the menu and pressed F9 and I don't get anything popping up to edit the UI. Am I forgetting something? I've disabled VisuStella MainMenuCore to prevent conflicts (though I still have other VisuStella plugins, incl. Core).

I read through the topic and saw that UICustom folder not appearing can be an issue too, but it's there, and has 7 files in it (bootstrap x2, common, index x3, jQuery)

You maybe have a plugin that rebinds the "debug menu" key (usually F9) to something else. You can also press F12 to open debug console, IMPORTANT go to "Console" and check for messages there.
But when the uicustom folder is created automatically it's usually a good sign!

Ah, it's saying the file "uicustom/config.json:1" is not found!

That should not be the problem because that's just the config file that holds your settings. When this file does not exist, the plugin simply creates it for you.

Scanning my code, another reason could be that, somehow, you start your game outside of testplay mode.

And there it is!

I'm genuinely impressed at the precision of that diagnosis. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to tinkering with this! :)

So, I installed the plugin and when I hit F9, A screen says file could not be accessed. I don't have a uicustom folder in my project folder. Am I supposed to make that folder myself before hand? If so, might want to add that into the info on using the plugin (Just a suggestion). I use MV though.

Can you screenshot this message? It appears that some background process is blocking the game from creating the necessary files.

This happens when I hit F9 while in the game menu.

You can press F12 when running the game to open the debug console, then (IMPORTANT) go to "console tab" and check for useful messages there.

Only thing that shows up is this:

It could be that you are launching your game project outside from testplay mode. Visustella Core for example could do that.

I am using testplay mode. Am I supposed to open the game itself without testplay mode?
Here are my plugins that I have:

I uploaded a new version. It should now display a message explaining why the folder couldn't be created.

Still shows the same thing.

Maybe try it in a fresh new project and check for background processes that might block my plugin from creating files.

I got it working in the blank project and copied the missing folder over. It works now. Thanks for the help.
