RM FindRefs — Find References for RPG Maker MV/MZ

Hi! I made RM FindRefs, a small reference-finding tool for RPG Maker MV/MZ.

Before you delete, reuse, or change a switch, variable, item, skill, common event, or other database entry, RM FindRefs helps you see where it is being used.

This is not an RPG Maker plugin. It is a standalone HTML tool: extract the ZIP, open one HTML file in a modern desktop browser, and choose your project’s data/ folder.

What it does

  • Search by database name or ID
  • Find references across maps, events, common events, troop events, database records, and more
  • Show locations such as Map / Event / Page / Command
  • Separate results into:
    • EXACT — RM FindRefs understands the RPG Maker field or command structurally
    • POSSIBLE — a textual clue found in scripts, formulas, notes, plugin commands, or other opaque data
  • Runs entirely in your browser
  • No installation
  • No upload
  • No project modification

A small DemoProject is included so you can try it before scanning your own project.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome. If you find a reference pattern that RM FindRefs misses, I’d especially like to know about it.
