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…

@Purzelkater : Strange, there is definitely something wrong going on, but I don't know what. I would need to have your generator folder to find out what is the problem. Can you upload it somewhere and send me the link using private messages ?

@vico : It is quite difficult to add part by yourself indeed. However, due to all possibilities of priorities and so on, I don't see any other way. But keep in mind that the generator has also a function for an easy import/export of resources. If someone create resources and export them with the generator, you get a single file for all resources. Such file is then easy to import.

Edit : v0.04b released, fixing a bug in the importation if non png files were located in the generator folders.

So some advice to how generate a RXGE file from a folder? I thought in using the "Import Default MV Assets" window to point to a Generator folder storing the custom files, and then exporting the RXGE file from it. Still dont tried, don't know if is possible

The RXGE files can be generated from the imported assets only. If you have your own custom files that you want to import into the generator, you don't have a choice, you need to import them manually.

Any resources currently imported into the generator can then be exported to a RXGE file, using the Import/Export assets menu. After default MV importation, you can for example convert the resources to a RXGE file.

If someone provides a RXGE file, you can import it.

I'll try to look at all current topics on the forum about new parts, and create RXGE files from them. However, it might take some time, as redistributing those resources under the RXGE file format will require authorization of the creator of the resources.

Sad, when I read the description of the exportation window ("if you already have resources with the same name, the new imported resources will be renamed in order to avoid conflitual names") I thought it was possible to make RXGEs with the mentioned before method.

I thought wrong.

Anyway, the only help i can do for now is to poke generator parts makers to make a RXGE pack for use with the Extended Generator. I will do this now.

Hello! This is an excellent program so far I love it!

EDIT: Nvm I'm dumb lol

HI!, first of all excelent TOOL!!, but I found something that looks like a problem:

I imported the males and females eyes without any problem, and tryed them, and everythig is fine, but when I tried to add the customs, the program doesn't recognize the color mask, and I can't recolor them, because "Color 1" doesn't exist.

Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I found other problem (or not, but need an explanation): If you try to create a Female FrontHair, it's necesary to set the "Character" part as FrontHair1 or it doesn't appear; I have tried with males and it rules as FrontHair or as FrontHair1.
Schlangan

#86 Mar 20, 2016, 09:59 PM Source

@miyanke

You are working correctly. It seems the mask color is not saved when there is no other template using the file. I'll have to figure a way to bypass this problem.

Concerning the FrontHair1, that's because charsets use two different FrontHair sets; FrontHair1 and FrontHair2. It is because of the drawing priorities, depending on the direction the character is facing. If you look at the drawing priorities, you'll understand what I'm saying.

Sorry if it was already suggested but here's mine : add different type of ears (or body?)

Because at the moment when you select elf ears it only applies on the facesets and not on the sprites.
Schlangan

#88 Mar 22, 2016, 01:23 PM Source

@Chaos17 : Yes, but this problem is the same in the standard MV generator too; the reason is simple, there was no elf ears drawn for charsets and battlers, only for facesets. In order to have them, people need to draw the resources. In that case, my extended generator will be able to add them too, if you add the Ears to the priority lists.
Chaos17

#89 Mar 22, 2016, 01:27 PM Source

Okay, Hiddeone did some elf ears so I will try.

What about beast man ? Someone on the forum made sprites with no human ears.

Can your generator handle different "bodies" ?

Anyway, I'm gonna try asap, your tool :D

Désolé pour mon anglais à 2 francs...

#90 Mar 22, 2016, 01:33 PM Source

Yes, the generator works with Categories (default are Male/Female), but you can add as many categories as you want. In the same way, categories contain Parts (Body, Ears, Clothes, etc.) as well as subparts. I suggest you to read carefully the first post of this topic, where everything is explained with details.

#91 Mar 22, 2016, 10:01 PM Source

Concerning Categories, Could you add an option duplicate a existing category? So that we don't have to add everything to a new one. That is let's say copy Male then edit it to make it Beast Man.

Also I did add the elf ears to mine. Worked great THANKS!!!

#92 Mar 23, 2016, 07:42 AM Source

I'll work on v0.05 this weekend, I should be able to add at least two or three suggestions I got until now. You can always check the first post of this topic to see if I've added your suggestions in the todo list :)

Edit : Version 0.04c, fixing the bug reported by @miyanke : Imported eyes have now their proper mask color.

Amazing, thank you for all the hard work.

If you ever release the source or want to make an online version of this (JavaScript) I would gladly help.

I have to say that I am really loving this editor Schlangan! I like being able to edit more beyond what the original editor allows in terms of colors and so on. I'm no pixel artist so it's definitely harder for me to make things like ninja masks and so on, but even the fact that I can edit more colors than the limited amount the actual game editor allows, this is awesome! If I encounter bugs with it, I'll be sure to list them. I'm really amped now just playing with making new characters just for the hell of it! LOL!

#95 Mar 25, 2016, 06:47 PM Source

UPDATE : version 0.04d

- Fix of a bug for the addition of resource in a category which does not use all parts (for example female which do not use Beard)

- Addition of a possibility to duplicate category, without copying the resources for now. @CupcakeDreamer, tell me if you intended to copy the resources in one click too.

Download LInk (direct executable)

#96 Mar 26, 2016, 05:29 AM Source

Duplicating without copying existing resources. Just reusing the same ones that are already there is probably best. I'll take a look at this new version and let you know if I find any problems.

Thanks.
Schlangan

#97 Mar 26, 2016, 05:03 PM Source

UPDATE : version 0.04e

- Fix of a bug with mask colors during resources importations/exportations. Now I'll be able to properly create RXGE files for Derex's generator additions --'

It had happened me with other costumes as with Hiddenone Clothing_p20; I think it happen because they use original pieces, but I'm not sure.

I tried with the new version, but with the costume created by the previous versión, so it crashed.

I have erased and tried again and it rules.

THANK YOU!!
