And what a better way to start things off than with the ever so staple “God Mode” cheat?

This advice video uses the following plugins:

RPG Maker MV 1.6.1 (beta) Update

1.6.1

RPG Maker MV has updated to version 1.6.1! Well, the beta version. You can either update it on Steam or get the standalone download from here. Overall, this is the second attempt to go back to 1.6.x, where RPG Maker MV will use updated Node JS. This will increase performance. Only this time, it looks to me like they’ve fixed the majority of the bugs (others either unknown or otherwise outside of their control).

A large number of plugins have been updated as a response to this, mostly in preparation for 1.6.1’s finalization.

The Options Menu can be the one thing that can change how comfortable a player is with your game. Within the Options Menu, the player can alter any given settings to their liking adjusting to their playstyle. By default, settings like ‘Always Dash’ and ‘Command Remember’ are included in RPG Maker MV and other plugins made for RPG Maker MV may also add in newer options to the list. However, the menus themselves were always a bit iffy to look at and/or adjust. This plugin gives the Options Menu a visual makeover and full control over what options can be added to the menu to befit your players!

Also as of this release, these plugins have been updated for compatibility with YEP_OptionsCore.js. Be sure to download and update them in your game project(s).

We can expand more upon that and turn it into something else, changing the way the player feels about Save Points for your game!

Battle systems are a major part of any traditional RPG. And the ability to Guard is also a key staple of battle systems. Yet, Guarding gets next to no love when it comes to designing RPG’s, so how about we find out ways to change things up a bit and make Guarding a much more interesting gameplay mechanic?

Does your game project have at least base code (rpg_x.js) 1.4.0 or above? And has RPG Maker MV updated past that, but you don’t feel like updating the base code manually, probably because you’ve made some edits to the code itself? Yet, you still want to take advantage of the changes from the version ups? This plugin will take care of that for you while keeping your base code intact, while ‘patching’ the changes made from higher version ups.

This plugin also adds in the updates and new functions from the versions leading up to 1.5.2 to ensure that your project has the most up to date functions even if it is running 1.4.0. This way, you do not have to tamper with the game project’s base code files yourself.

Note: you will still have to download the newest Pixi libraries and to get things working properly with this plugin. More will be explained in this plugin’s instructions section under the help file.

RPG Maker MV 1.5.2 “Update”

1.5.2

The RPG Maker MV 1.5.2 “update” is out. I say “update” because it’s mostly to reverse some of the negative changes from 1.6.0 (namely with the editor) but still has the bug fixes of 1.6.0. You can find out more about it in the link above.

From what I can tell, this is a safe update to change to. A desktop optimization update will be made in the future for those who use it. Hold on tight.

Here’s a changelog of all that’s happened. The changes will be a comparison difference between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 instead of 1.6.0 and 1.5.2.

rpg_core.js

  • Graphics.initialize starts with _videoUnlocked with a false boolean.
  • Graphics._setupEventHandlers added keydown and mousedown Event Listeners
  • WebAudio._setupEventHandlers function updated to have keydown, mousedown, touchend listeners resume function.

rpg_managers.js

  • BattleManager.updateEvent now returns checkAbort instead of checkAbort2
  • BattleManager.checkAbort2 removed and became BattleManager.checkAbort

rpg_objects.js

  • Game_Interpreter.prototype.command113 (break loop) event fixed

rpg_scenes.js

  • No changes (good, since it doesn’t have the Scene_Item active window breaker)

rpg_sprites.js

  • Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback1Name and Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback2Name functions updated to return no backdrop if an empty string is determined

rpg_windows.js

  • No changes detected.

 

And that’s all, folks!

RPG Maker MV 1.6.0 Update is out but…

1.6.0

`RPG Maker MV 1.6.0 Update is out but currently, I recommend against updating if you use a lot of my plugins and/or have big projects being made. For the time being at least (until I get everything working with the new version, which may take some time). If you’ve already updated to 1.6.0, fear not, you can still revert to 1.5.1.

As far as I can tell, 1.6.0 changes a lot things, for better or for worse. File directory structures have changed and whatnot. Performance has been enhanced, but at the cost of quite a few plugins working.

Hold on tight.

The following are changes made in this update from the previous update (RPG Maker MV version 1.5.1).

rpg_core.js

  • Utils.isOptionValid function update
  • Graphics._cssFontLoading boolean update
  • Graphics._updateRealScale function update to improve scaling

rpg_managers.js

  • SceneManager.onKeyDown function updated for F12 button to not take browsers to a new URL window (assuming browser mode)
  • BattleManager.updateEvent updated for its abort check from 2 to 1 of which…
  • BattleManager.checkAbort2 has been removed and has now became BattleManager.checkAbort

rpg_objects.js

  • Game_Interpreter.prototype.command113 (break loop event) is now updated to support multiple depths

rpg_scenes.js

  • Scene_Item.prototype.update function added. Its purpose? To break all the plugins that add new stuff the item scene.

rpg_sprites.js

  • Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback1Name and Spriteset_Battle.prototype.overworldBattleback2Name function updated to return an empty string if its battleback is an empty string.

rpg_windows.js

  • No changes made

Player comfort is a major thing to pay attention to when it comes to designing video games nowadays. RPG’s are no exception either. And inside of RPG’s, the player is usually within a battle a large portion of the time. And for this large portion of the time, players are often waiting for battle animations to finish playing.

This plugin adds in the ability for players to choose how fast they want battle animations to play from inside the options menu. From the default speed, which plays one animation frame per four real frames, to the fastest setting, which plays one animation frame per one real frame, the player now has the option to choose how quickly things progress in battle.
