Hey everyone, the latest version of RPG Maker MV is here! And it's the biggest one yet. We would like to remind everyone to make sure to do the following steps before updating to ensure that when the update happens so your changes won’t be overwritten: If you are using standalone, download this! If you are using steam and did nothing, it should automatically update. Do not use the downloads from here! If you are using steam and don't want automatic updates, set RPG Maker MV's update to manual instead of automatic. Make a backup of your Generator folder if you edited it. Replace BGM files if you got it from 1.3.0. If you have an old project that needs updating, do the following: Make a backup of your project. Create a new project or go to the NewData folder in your RPG Maker MV root (where MV is installed) folder. Copy the new js files (RPG*.js and Libs Folder) and replace the one in your -old project. DO NOT COPY plugins.js (the script file that stores all your plugin settings) or it will replace your plugin settings. Copy the new index.html file to your current project. Update gamefont.css just in case. It should now be updated! Changelog NEW FEATURES Retry function when resource loading fails Master Volume API. Plugin / Event / Map search function Community CoreScript added to allow users to control specific parts of RPG Maker MV. UPGRADES AND BUG FIXES Core Script Upgrade for better memory management. Plugin Manager Updated to have new features. Variable type can be set in plugins and more! Fix to color impossible to change on PNG without an alpha channel Fix to BGM not updating properly when riding a boat. Play Movie event is now fixed to work on mobile. Black Grid is now fixed on mobile. Fix to ME blocking BGM sound change. Pixi upgraded to version 4.4 DOWNLOAD LINKS PATCH ONLY - download this if you already have it installed. FULL INSTALLER - download this if you haven't installed RMMV or just want an updated installer. Reporting Bugs and/or Suggestions: Visit the boards and read all the topics here first.

I updated and it works fine for me! Love the new plugin manager. I didn't update my project though, but it doesn't seem to be an issue so far...

Sorry if I gave anyone a heart attack; my initial scan of the code changes made it look like they'd renamed the ImageManager functions, but they haven't, they've just added new ones, meaning the load functions are still there and plugins using them will still work.

You were kinda right though, because it broke Srde plugin HuD Maker. Author said it was the mask function. Fortunaly, SrDe fixed asap his plugin after I reported it.

Whenever I playtest, I get this error:

I'm unable to open the console (f8), so unfortunately this is all I can provide.
I tried turning off all plugins, and it still threw this error.
I did follow the instructions for updating (as I've done for every update prior to this one).
I am using the Steam version of RPG Maker MV.

I'm getting this error as well and I've copied over index.html and all necessary core files.

The files in 'js\libs' folder too?

Great work!

I would like to know more about new types of parameters.
So far I've found the following tags:
@ require
@ dir
@ type file
@ type number
@ type boolean

And will there be a detailed description of the new system for images?

For those with any of SRD's plugins, he's working on applying updates for 1.5 and already has a few out. His Preloader Core doesn't seem to work at the moment.

Some of Yanfly's plugins, specifically those dealing with any image files, seem to be slightly incompatible (but not game breaking). One of the issues I have spotted is that battlebacks seem to now be anchored from the center of the image, which splits them in half on the screen.

Seems they have changed quite a lot with the image manager. :confused:

EDIT:
Posted a plugin to fix this, here, when it gets approved. :blink:

You can set the type of your game parameters now within a plugin for Plugin makers, making it easier on them and you to deal with plugin params.

I did all I was told in the instructions to update the maker and my project, and now I'm getting an issue when I try to playtest it. It gets stuck on this screen, right after starting it.

rpg_core.js is version 1.5.0

After some investigation, I found out that the issue seems to be caused by me trying to load some fonts on startup:

Code:
Zanto.Scene_Boot_prototype_create = Scene_Boot.prototype.create; Scene_Boot.prototype.create = function() { Zanto.Scene_Boot_prototype_create.call(this); Graphics.loadFont('GameFontNumber', 'fonts/Braciola MS.ttf'); Graphics.loadFont('GameFontNumber2', 'fonts/DECTERM.ttf'); };

When I comment out the Graphics.loadFont lines, everything works. It used to work before update... What am I doing wrong?
+1
freeze to this screen
It will be necessary to change the way to load the fonts
?

Hi there,
thanks for the new version and the new plugin manager!

I have a problem after updating my project and hope to get some advice for this one:
- wrong game size:
I've added the community basic plugin. I also use the yanfly core plugin.
I use: 1152x648 but the game is opend in 1475x637
What can I do about it, please?

Until all of Yanfly's stuff is updated, it's probably a good idea to just stick with using one or the other.

Personally, what I did was put the Community_Basic plugin at the top of the plugin list and use that plugin to set the width and height I wanted. Then, in YEP_CoreEngine, I set the width and height to the default values. Seemed to work for me.

@JGreene - Thanks for your advice! I deactivated the community_base and have the right size again

@GameFire - Thank you, too! I tried this way, but in my case the size did not changed.

Thanks a lot for your kind help <3~

Nice! I like the new upgrade

Although I saw in some plugin that we have now new tags for it...but few informations for it.

Code:
* @dir img/system/ * @type file

they seem interesting...but what's their use...can we add new types for it? do we have more control for it?

I would like more explaination about them

They never were before?

Besides, none of my animations have spaces.

They always were - that's why they get replaced with %20 in error messages, because the network file system can't handle them otherwise.
It's just that windows has an override to allow such letters that are illegal under networking rules, but that override has problems of its own.
