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…

Thanks for being a super cool person and having worked on this tool. It's people like you that make these engines worth running and you do it out of the kindness of your hearts. That's amazing to me, and you are very much appreciated.

I apologize if this has already been discussed as I didn't look through all 40+ pages of posts in this thread but I was wondering if there were links or a means of finding character packs available in the format to use with extended generator (MZ).
You can simply download any assets, put all in folders following the same "Generator" folder design, then import all and the software will handle the rest

Hello, this tool is amazing. I do need some help with it, however.
I made an account specifically to ask:
I am having a very hard time importing my self-made assets into this. I think it's a great idea, and it definitely works (the .NET framework is installed, everything functions). I followed the tutorial provided and also did my best to reverse-engineer the folders. I can manually import assets one at a time, but I would very much like to simply import them all at once.I was wondering if someone could explain it in more detail: what is the "Variation" folder supposed to have in it?
Also, do I need to create masks, when I won't be using the color-changing effects in the generator? I just want to choose from my pre-made assets without altering them in the generator.
Finally, the tutorial on the website doesn't go into detail on how the Resources window works, is there a more detailed breakdown on that part? I don't understand it at all :(

Thanks in advance for any responses.

The Variation folder contains the images showing the preview of the part, as seen in this section. It needs to match the part number of its associated part in order to be recognised as the variation image for it.

Oh, that actually helps with one of my other questions too-- the parts must be numbered to work, then. Thank you so much.

I have a question that again, apologies if has been answered already!

I've already imported a large number of assets. I have more that I want to import, but also a little worried that either now or in future, I might mess up what I already have. If I make a backup copy of the program folder, could I always just use that to "go back" if I am unhappy with any assets I import in future? Or is it not that simple? Thank you in advance!

You can keep a backup for safety, but also i don't think you can miss it up, because the software handles numbering the assets, so nothing gets overwritten

thank you! yeah, i guess one of my concerns is that I am not 100% sure if one of these assets I want to additionally import is one that I don't remember already importing

So, why does this program delete the files inside data folder when you reset the program? I lost all my progress and work, which I was going to share here (the beastman one). Would be a fair warning for people to tell them when you reset the data, it will delete all associated files in the data AND original folder. I had backups in both, and now both are gone. I didn't think to make a backup outside of the program...

Great tool tho! Is there any chance we can import subdirectories and directories not part of the original Generator? That way, we can just import the new dlc files and not have to manually insert thousands and thousands of dlc content.

So, I imported a new gen part, but somehow one of the assets (the face file) got messed up. I need to add in the correct corresponding fg file - what's the way to do this?

-edit- nvm, I think I figured it out!

Great generator. So much more efficient than the one that RPGmaker provides.

Important note : links update

Due to yet another trouble with my former hosted website, I've switched to a new host, hence changing all links in the first message. On a bright note, we've finally got https over http :D

So... trying to import my old RXGE2 files on the 0.68 version gives me an error when trying to use SOME of the parts, not all. The old "key was not found in dictionary" error.

There is a BUNCH of parts I've collected and manually organized over several months, the newest version still doesn't allow imports, and I've since lost the computer where the original files were, I only have the RXGE2 files backed up... hopefully there is something that can be done.

Does anyone know what's the cause of this. I can't seem to add faces in the generator. I am just using the default rtp assets and I am able to add most of the other parts correctly, but the faces don't seem to work. Using Beta 1.00.

The default rtp can be directly imported -> did you try that way?

Yes. I still had similar issues. However, a solution I found that managed to work was to create the base of my character inside rpg maker. And then import the character settings with the generator. Which allowed me to have the faces added.

Can you make it possible to import Additional gradients without having to go through hurdles?

Edit: I found the import gradients button.

Changelog

Version 1.00.0000 (2024, September, 2nd)

Main release of the new version!
Hi Schlangan! Could you, please, provide a changelog of the 1.00 version over the 0.68?
This is because I have a giant database arranged in the b0.68, but I saw some very interesting things in the screenshot, like the ability to rotate parts and to zoom in the preview!
But, as I'd need to to all import and configurations again, I'd like to be certain if I'll put the effort in using the newest version!

And thank you very much for this wonderful tool! I have already made A LOT of characters with my gen parts that I collected/bought all over the places that I could find!
