RPG Maker MV/MZ Extended Generator - Version Beta 1.00.0003 [14th November 2024]

Schlangan · 2016-02-10T03:17:26+0900

Hello everybody. As we know, RPG Maker MV brought in a nice character editor, also available in RPG Maker MZ. However, adding new assets is somewhat challenging if you don't know exactly how the numbering of items is made. Even by knowing it, it is annoying to deal with a specific naming of files in order to make sure to not mess up everything. Also, there is no option for the addition of new colors, only gimmicks to replace the current gradients. After thinking about it for a while, and seeing as no specific project has been achieved on this topic yet, I decided to give it a go. I'm currently coding an extended version of the character generator, currently for Microsoft Windows operating system though. The generator has been revamped, but as usual, bugs may exist. I'm counting on you guys to find them so I can fix that as soon as possible Screen capture of v1.00 The editor behaves like the current MV/MZ editor, with the following additions: The software will help you import all your current assets from your RPG Maker MV/RPG Maker MZ folder You can manually add new resources without having to think about the default generator naming conventions You can add more "categories" and "parts", for example, Accessories 3, something different than Male/Female/Kid You can add new templates for resources who do not match the dimensions of RPG Maker MV/MZ default resources You can redefine the drawing order of elements over others (by default the current MV/MZ generator priorities will be set) All gradients can be used for any item, and you'll be able to add new, whether by importation or by generation You can add many elements of the same part (ex. two accessories A) and use any category (Male, Female, ...) on the same character You can move the elements by a few pixels to create different faces You can rotate elements tile per tile You can easily see who to credit through the importation of resources You can create/add character sets, which are partial characters Better randomization of characters with rules Tutorials are directly accessible from my website : - Access to the website here - Direct link to tutorials Download Links NEWEST! Version Beta 1.00 First, you'll need to install the .NET 6 runtime librairies if you don't have them : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.33-windows-x64-installer Then, directly in a zip format as usual, the generator itself https://schlangancastle.fr/RMXGEN/RPG_Maker_Extended_Generator_1_00_beta.zip Older version - Alpha 0.68 - The link points to a zip file in which the executable is. I didn't create an installer yet, but the file should be readable by most people on windows operating systems already. If it won't, try to install .Net Framework 4.5+ - Antiviruses hate standalone files; yours may complain when trying to launch the generator. - Download Link You want to follow what is being developed and give suggestions elsewhere than this forum? Here is a discord link: https://discord.gg/ZV4WHB5 Compatibility with RPG Maker MV and MZ DLCs Thanks to @CrisR82 RPG Maker MV/MZ Extended Generator - Version Beta 1.00.0003 [14th November 2024] I don't know if I missed something, but I can't click "Apply and Close" after manually adding or removing some file/images. I can import images, tho I need to create a "generator" folder first and sort the images to right categories first forums.rpgmakerweb.com Changelog Spoiler Version 1.00.0003 (2024, November, 14th) Added default icon when creating a new resource. Added automatic selection of part when selecting a character element. Added a ''Reset Rules'' button for character randomization. Non-RPG Maker default parts will be reset to 0%. Added a change Log window. Fix: When creating a new resource and immediately duplicating it, a ''Given Key Not present In dictionary'' error occurred, and the resource was not properly created. Fix: When duplicating a new resource, the ''Only New'' filter did not display the new resource until a refresh was performed. Fix: When creating a new template and immediately adding it to a template configuration, a ''Given Key not present in dictionary'' Error was thrown. Fix: When replacing an element, the new element was not properly selected, preventing chain replacements and causing errors when attempting to change colors. Fix: When editing a resource, changes were not reflected in a currently open character that was using that resource Version 1.00.0002 (2024, November, 13th) Fix: When overwriting a loaded image for character picture exports, a generic GDI error was thrown due to a lock on the file. Version 1.00.0001 (2024, September, 3rd) Fix: When saving a file, a permission error occurred. Version 1.00.0000 (2024, September, 2nd) Main release of the new version! Version 0.68 (2021, March, 1st) Fix: Since MZ changes to their face pictures, going from 144x144 pixels to 160x160, the faces were distorted after importation. Now, the generator can properly display those files. Ver…

What did you code this in, or make this in? I've seen tons of generators with that same icon and I keep wondering what it is.
Schlangan

#22 Feb 20, 2016, 08:16 PM Source

@Zanshoo, @dhofari9 : Thanks ^^

@Agustin : I'm using Visual Basic.NET, from the Microsoft Visual Studio software. The icon is the default icon. I will change it before the release ^^

A small update on the advancement. I'm done with the manual addition of resources, with everything relatively complex to have a good versatility. For sure, I'll add a help file. I started to code a way to export several resources in a single file, for an easy distribution of new resources by the wonderful people who are - unlike me - able to draw nice assets :D

The last thing to code will be the self-update mechanisms, to keep everyone up-to-date. Nonetheless, I'll release a first version, let's say 0.1, which would probably contain several bugs, especially when you try to remove assets. I tried to safeguard the best I could, but it isn't easy to find all potential bugs by myself. So I'll be counting on you guys to report me any problem, and of course any other suggestion :D

If you want help making icons for this so you have visual alternatives to all that text, let me know. I've always wanted a really good generator that would accommodate my own bases. I have GCH but it doesn't get updated enough and it's a bit awkward.

RELEASE - ALPHA 0.01

The first release is ready ! You can download it following the first post of the topic. I added a complete guide on how to use the editor, please follow it.

@Sharm : I never considered visual alternatives. We should discuss on how this would be represented. Since there are a lot of things, especially in the assets management, I don't know how it would be possible to lighten everything, but if you have ideas on that topic, that would be helpful :)

Yay!! This is super duper cool! We finally have a CUSTOM generator that works and does almost anything you could ever want!

May I suggest you go here, it will be a big help for this generator

Well these parts can be added to the generator, following the guide.

Hi i got a suggestion :

Can you add an option to move parts manualy ?

For exemple : I want to ajust the height of the eyes, make them a bit lower.

To solve problem of compatibility between custom parts.
Schlangan

#30 Feb 21, 2016, 07:28 PM Source

It should be easily feasible. I can add some arrows near the listview where you select the elements. But I'll have to modify the save files for characters to add displacements. Don't save too many characters for now, you'll have to redo them ^^

How about an option to adjust the layers?
Schlangan

#32 Feb 21, 2016, 07:31 PM Source

I don't work with layers per se. Elements are drawn in a given order following the priority list, but there is no control of layers.
Zanshoo

#33 Feb 21, 2016, 07:44 PM Source

May i ask to secure the button "update file data" while there is no mask imported ?

I got a lot of error clicking on it when i shouldn't.

I try to create new layer "bodytype" to put all the beast like body for SV TV and TVD, when i import the SV file all works perfectly fine, i update, then i try to put the TVD, but when i update i got this :

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Is there something i do wrong ?

Thanks by the way ^^

It seems it is complaining that the file already exists. I will add a safety to erase and replace the files in that case. I'll also look at the mask issue. An update should come in a 15 minutes max I guess :D

Maaaaaaaannyyy thanks to you Schlangan .

I'll try my best to shake your software with everything i got so i can find every problem :D

#36 Feb 21, 2016, 08:03 PM Source

Okay, that should do for now. You can redownload the exe, you don't need to replace any other file.

Me again, new problem, i crated a new category called "body Type" created a part called "dragonskin", i placed every SV, TD and TVD in sub category, i updated .

The problem is : when i choose dragonskin in the génerator, it do not show up ...

I am missing something ?

Thanks you for your time ^^

Problem solved via Skype. Concerning the bugs in the pictures; I noticed that some resources don't have a 96x96 DPI resolution. It would better if all resource creators could ensure the 96x96 DPI. For now I don't have any way to get around this problem.

Thank You Very Much!

I'm going to keep an Eye on this... GCH is indeed taking an unusual amount of time updating for MV when the promised update time went and past.
