Hello everybody,
This topic is transferred from the former rpgmakerweb forum.
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
