VisuStella Sample Project & MZ Core Plugins

They have different structure, but some of them doesn't need to edited (or at least editing all of them) and works well, even with old MV structure in MZ

unfortunately if you want to use plugin command, you can still use, but no way to use plugin command fuction

Yeah, that's not possible without adjustments, but those that apply to notetags works nice.

I was in the same boat at first, but I've already contacted them twice for compatibility questions and was helped both times within a couple of hours. That's especially good considering I usually work on plugins on my back shifts, so it was after midnight (ADT) both times I asked.
I'm still not thrilled about having to ask someone else to help me out when needed, but being unable to actually look at the source code has made me a lot better about cleverly aliasing things from it instead of outright overwriting it, which helps maintain compatibility across all plugins.

I'm reading the Terms of Use of all the items that come with VisuStella Sample Game Project.

Especially about the icons, there is this statement:

"
You may only use these icons commercially if
you have purchased the corresponding pack that
they belong to, or if it already appears in a
free pack. "

So, since this Sample Game Project has been made available as a pay what you want model, even if I get for free, will I still be able to use the tiles, icons and plugins in my commercial game?

No. The Tiles are not commercially available, we have a separate arrangement for that with KADOKAWA. They also allowed us to release it like this because it is considered a game and the tiles themselves ToU are non-commerciall. Each asset has their own EULA. That was a donation option and not a pay what you want (You can completely skip it).

Plugins are 10000% free though.

The Sample Game Project is not a pack, so no.

What about Caz's icons? I want to be sure before using them.

There's a terms of use document in the sample project folder for Caz's stuff:

These icons were created by Caz Wolf and
are available for purchase on itch.io:


These icons are FOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY,
and MAY ONLY BE USED FOR PROJECTS MADE WITH
RPG MAKER MV.

You may only use these icons commercially if
you have purchased the corresponding pack that
they belong to, or if it already appears in a
free pack.

Please ask if you are unsure which pack an
icon comes from and I will be happy to assist.

Please also do not hesitate to ask any questions
about these icons, or these Terms of Use.


-------------------------------------------

Once any pack has been officially purchased,
the buyer is now a license holder of that pack
and has permission to use and edit those icons
for use in apps, games, or whatever purpose
they like, commercially and outside of RPG Maker.

HOWEVER those icons cannot be redistributed
to other parties who have not purchased them.

Please direct any questions to my itch.io profile,
or you can contact me on Twitter @cazwolf

Thanks for downloading, and I hope you enjoy
the pack!

My icons are only available for non-commercial use unless you've purchased the commercial license for one of my packs that contains the relevant icon.

They're sheeted all over the place on the Sample Project sheet, but generally:
Potions and consumables: Pack 1 and 2
Food: Pack 3
Weapons: Pack 4
Skill and statuses: Pack 5
Equipment: Pack 6
Letter/number buttons: not currently released, but they'll be free for commercial use

There are also some icons in there that may be in one of my free packs, so won't require a license. If there's a specific icon that you can't find, lemme know and I can help you. :thumbsup-left:

@Caz I have no intentions for a commercial project. I just wanted to use them in MZ, but your ToU mentions they can be used in MV only.

@Sword_of_Dusk Ahh, please download the latest Sample Project update. The terms have been updated to include RPG Maker MZ as well. :rhappy:

Ah, sweet! Thanks, @Caz

I wonder if it's release, will it change to free model or paid

First and foremost thank you for the awesome work with this project. I have a question regarding the tilesets included, are they going to be available for commercial use with the purchase of a license? Or will they only be available for non commercial use? The tiles are extremely awesome but being available for commercial use is important to me and I would just like to know if I will be able to get a license eventually.
Again thanks for the awesome stuff.

The plugins will always be free as promised. :)


Yes, the tilesets are going to have a commercial license. I already collaborated with KADOKAWA and we're just discussing when to release it.

:o *gasp!* The rtp! She is pixelized! @Archeia, how did you know what I wanted for christmas?! :o Cant wait to use/make edits! X3333

EDIT: X and yeah, Im just now noticing this thread, lol

I not sure if this been done or posted.

Is there a plugin for a 5 - 6 Party for in and outside of battles? For RPG Maker MZ?

Is it possible to add it in sometime?

i not sure how to type it into words without thinking i typing rude , if so sorry , i typing this as a suggestion and i REALLY not good at typing in sentence at recent.

And thanks.

Is anyone else having trouble getting the enemies HP Bar to show up? I copied all the plugins over from the sample game but for some reason there is no HP Bar over the enemies when I go to battle them? I have no idea what I could have possibly done wrong as all I did was copy them over and it works fine in the sample game??????

Did you change the plugin setting or use the hide HP bar notetag?
