One day Drakkonis came up with an idea that MV should need plugin command UI similar to MZ! AND NOW IT DOES!
Please note that this tool is made for RETRO (v0.10 and above) link to thread: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/retro-mz-plugins-on-mv.135715/
Currently RETRO_Plugin_Command_UI is only available for Windows (welcome to branch out my GitHub repo for Mac version).
MZ has possibility to pass REALLY complex structs and arrays as plugin command parameter. This tool will format all MZ plugin commands in RETRO format that are instantly usable in MV!
Just an example that would be not so nice to write: Plugin_Name/Command_Name "My Event" {"Type":"1","Radius":"300","Color":"#ffea00ff","OffsetX":"0", ... ,"Degrees":"360","Angle":"0","Rotation":"0","StartAt":"0.000"}
Then just use copied command in MV normally:
Structs, arrays, select, combo, files, numbers, etc.. are supported.
Few screen shots
Usage of this tool
You may copy RETRO_Plugin_Command_UI.exe to your project directory and it will auto-detect all MZ plugins that are using plugin commands!
OR you can use it as MV tool!
- Go to ..\Steam\steamapps\common\RPG Maker MV\tool
Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RPG Maker MV\tool - Create "RETRO_Plugin_Command_UI" folder
- Unzip "TOOL_INFO.zip" to created folder
- Copy RETRO_Plugin_Command_UI.exe to created folder
- Rename RETRO_Plugin_Command_UI.exe to WindowBuilder.exe
- Then you can add it in MV normally (Tools >> RPG Maker MV Tools)
Then you can quick start RETRO_Plugin_Command_UI anytime!
