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…

Hey! This is an awesome tool. Question, I imported all my generator resources. But, I just now added another 10 pieces to the generator in all of the correct generator subfolders. Can I just reimport from my generator folder, and the tool will just skip or overwrite what has already been imported? Or will this potentially screw me up?

Hmm, currently the generator will create duplicatas. If you didn't alter things much, I suggest you clean the database if you want to import everything.
Or, you can simply put your new pieces in a similar tree folder as RPG Maker, and you'll be able to import the folder with the new pieces only.

Ah! So is THAT the method for importing new parts? Basically create a directory that mimics the generator directory, with a tv folder, tvg folder, icon folder, etc., and then import from there?

Yes. You can click on Resource -> Import RPG Maker resource folder. The expected structure is as you said.

UPDATE - Version 1.00.0002

- For @AndrewNightingale - Fixed the picture export bug that prevented ovewriting files :D
So it was working but now it's not? it's not being consistent. it let me do a decent amount of overwrites but then it started having this error again.

I do not reproduce that error now; can you give me the exact steps to make it appear again. Also, can you check you're using version 1.00.0002 in the ? -> About box ?

Update v1.00.0003

New features

Bug fixes
⦿ 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.
⦿ When duplicating a new resource, the ''Only New'' filter did not display the new resource until a refresh was performed.
⦿ When creating a new template and immediately adding it to a template configuration, a ''Given Key not present in dictionary'' Error was thrown.

Hello,

First of all, thanks for sharing this generator. I am a nuvi with this generator but somebody mentioned that I can generate tall character sprites with this generator. But I couldn't figure how to achieve that. I tried to search but couldn't find anything I can follow. Can anybody give me a hint or clue how I can do that?

Thanks

Hello,
Though created for the former versions, the tutorials can guide you on how advanced options work
http://schlangan.free.fr/mvxgen_tutorials.html

Typically, creating tall sprites requires you to add new templates made for tall sprites. Then, you need to draw yourself or import resources on that format. The generator itself doesn't come with resources.

You may look for the TAB (Tall Adult Body) Generator that uses the former versions of my software. You can then import the resources it provides in the new version.

Ok... i uhh... don't wanna trigger the mods with "Necroposting" However i kinda need a help with this tool, gotten an error "Impossible to Save picture: A generic error occured in GDI+"...
Anyone know how to solve this?

No need for any worry. Not only is this thread active, but necroposting only applies to support and requests sections. @ItsMeDevRoland You can PM me if you still have any questions or feedback about the wording of the necroposting rule.

Hello, do you use the latest version 1.00.0003 ? Former versions have this issue.

Yep! Downloaded from the front page, and from the last link...
I Also redownloaded the .net

I Have no idea where I Went Wrong xD

Do you have that issue every time, even after restarting the software? If yes, can you describe exactly what steps lead you to the error?
ItsMeDevRoland

#795 Dec 12, 2024, 11:22 AM Source

Okay, i have found the issue, it seems that i have imported something that breaks the generator, i've reinstalled the generator without reimporting my generator bits and parts... which allows the generator to export the face(not the ideal one, I just made a test one using rpg maker mz's generator bits), however i don't know what generator part/bit it is, that were broken... its kinda weird since running the generator(with the theoretical broken generator bits) seems to have lost its privilage... i keep getting this error saying "Error exporting in {directory}, want to export on picture instead?", but upon picking picture as the directory, it still says error in exporting with the same privilage error... i wish this software has error.log or something in between just so i can upload the error logs xD

There is a log file inside the logs folder ; you can start by uploading that one.

Yoooo, Okay... I Know doing this may or may not be forbidden on other forms(which means that mostlikely posting another message here on this forum following another message of mine is Forbidden), but i would like to report how suddenly everything is fixed again(And also hopefully help the others that encounter this issues[Also Also Hopefully Stop Schlangan from modifying the program again due to this bug, i know debugging a software is hard, but its more harder when your debugging a bug that can't be replicated, just had to do this sorry :()... Now i don't know how and why but i believe in Reboot solution, Ever since this week had started, I Started running my laptop open whilst i'm at college, fastforward to today's Weekend(at my time, its currently friday) I Restarted My Laptop and Now Everything is fixed... My Theory is

IF YOU EVER ENCOUNTER ANY GD+ Generic Errors like i received, You Must try to
- Check if you have the dotnet or any dependencies installed, i believe Schlangan already have the requirements, If you already installed it, Make sure to Update it And Restart

- If that didn't work, You Can try to reboot your system, Though i don't know if this is a real contributing factor in the solution to this problem, but i do read some few articles regarding rebooting fixing any software incompatibilities or error, Its good to try it out

- Try unblocking the software through the properties, i have done this today which could have been A Solution in Privilage issues(If it fails, try running it as administrator)

- If Anything fails, Just drop-by here and drop the log.txt!

ANYHOW THANKS Schlangan For the Help!
Awesome software!

Hey so is anyone else getting the download blocked on chrome with an insecure warning?

I'm new to rpgmaker and this tool looks really useful since its a pain to manually copy and paste everything into the rpgmaker folder. If its a false positive I'd really like to know to be safe.
