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…

This looks like an awesome program. How can it best be used with the Medieval Town & Country sprites?

Hey hullo French fellow! Yeah Schlangan is a real good working creator. ^^ Nice that he made this for us all ^^ .

I feel a need to just say this: this generator is amazing. At this point, it is by far the most useful external tool I've used in my projects...it just works! The possibility to have multiple body types alone is fantastic, it actually makes the Beast Man Generator DLC useful! Not to mention you can just throw it on a USB stick, import all your default parts, DLCs and other community-made parts to have a portable character factory with you anywhere.

"Thanks" is the least I can say for this Schlangan!

I dunno if someone had asked it yet
But it is really compulsory to have a mask for each part?
I am importing some resources and i can't do it for some of them as they do not have masks...

You can try importing it by using a blank png as mask file.
But masks allow color changes, so if you want to change the colors, you'll need to make a mask for your sprites, otherwise they'll be fixed in their color.

So...
This is 'coz i've added resources to the generator?

Hey dudes and dudettes, hoping someone can help with an issue I keep having. When I try place a face etc when exporting, after the first save it starts doing this, snapping to where it's not supposed to.

I have to exit the program, load the characters default face, change it to the expression I wanted to save, and then place it where I want. Then I'll have to repeat the process again because this happens.

Super appreciate any help, it's costing me heapsa time.

#531 Apr 11, 2020, 12:40 PM Source

Even though it looks like it's snapping where it's not supposed to, if you save it, the face or sprite still shows up in the correct slot that you'd clicked. Or at least, it always has for me. I've never had to exit the program, although I admit it was startling at first and I was nervous. But yeah, I'd suggest just clicking on the spot you want the face in and saying export even if it snaps somewhere weird, then immediately opening up the file and checking it. The face will probably be where you wanted it in the saved version.

@GoldiePara I just simply restart the program, and then try importing the item again. You could also redownload it aswell.

Emergency, please help ;_;

I got an updated version of MV with the generator parts, and I decided to update the default resources. I made a backup of the resources MV stuff in case. But after I updated and put the new stuff in, a TON of my old resources went missing. And the old backup doesn't work either. Someone, please please help.

What did you backup?

There are two folders of the generator, "resources" and "resources_mv" and both contain both sprites as well as gradient files & the database. The one that's in use depends on whether you selected MV mode or advanced mode in the generator.

From the way it sounds, you rebuilt the editor database anew by importing all the MV resources, ensuring that everything you manually added was lost.

I can't change fur colours from Hiddenone's Beastman parts can you fix it?
Also can you please update so the extended generator accepts json file from the MV generator?

For the first one, that's a totally unrelated to the extended generator problem. What determines what you can change colors of is the mask of the file you're importing. If you're having trouble, try deleting the resource, look at the mask colors for the sprite, then manually import the resources in question (the auto-import can be glitchy in certain cases, wish it wasn't, but oh well). While you're manually importing you can hook the face files to the right mask color.

For the second one: this honestly isn't that desirable of a feature. Schlangen's own generator is far better than the RMMV generator (though they don't seem to be updating it any longer, which is a same as if the glitchiness was fixed and you could edit your managed resources without causing them to glitch out 60% of the time this would be a perfect tool). Since there aren't many color options and no offset function in the base generator you shouldn't have trouble recreating them in the extended generator and saving them in that file type.

Hello,
I didn't give any news for a while. I have been quite busy with work and mostly my own game, but the generator isn't forgotten ;)

I'll start thinking of a way to get your generator folder when you encounter a bug so I can get the exact same configuration as you guys; Doing so I should be able to reproduce the glitch and figure out where it comes from.
For example; the snapping issue when exporting doesn't occur on my computer; nor the index of out of bounds. Something specific must be causing the issue.

The JSON import from MV has been considered, however, I need to define strict rules when doing so; you can't really import a picture from MV (and in the future MZ) if you changed all the settings of the generator; The import would only be reasonable if all the base resources are present with regular templates, for example.

I'm also thinking of writing something new in Java instead of VB.net so it could be used for Linux and Mac users too. And of course, I'll have to prepare everything for the arrival of MZ. Perhaps I should also prepare templates for older versions of RPG Maker too.

Ideas are still flowing, the only thing I lack for now is Time, my old enemy :D
