Have you ever made an event template to copy and paste from? Good. That’s an efficient way to go about reproducing events that are repeatedly found in your game. But have you ever decided that you suddenly want to make a change to that event… after you’ve copied and pasted it a bunch of times already? Now you’ve gotta go hunt down every single one you’ve copied and replace it.
What a pain, right?

Well, the Event Copier will allow you to streamline that process. You make a template event, and any events that will use this plugin’s notetag will copy everything from that event in the most up to date version in-game. This will include the sprite graphics, the self switches (and self variables if you are using those), the conditions, the pages, the event commands, and even the new Notetags. The only things that won’t be copied over will be the ID,
X position, and Y position for obvious reasons.

This way, you can streamline your eventing process without having the need to finalize an event before mass producing it.

It’s not uncommon for RPG’s to have a message backlog, an in-game tool for the player to review any and all dialogue he/she has encountered previously. This tool can be helpful in case a player would accidentally skip some dialogue and/or would like to revisit what kind of messages were made before making a decision during an important moment.

This plugin creates a message backlog system for your game’s message system. Upon pressing ‘Shift’ (or any other button you desire) during a message, the player can open up a Backlog window to review over the last 20 encountered messages (number of stored messages can be modified within the parameters). These saved messages can also include any choices from the choice lists they have selected, any numbers they may have inputted, or items they selected from special events.

Now, your players can go forward, knowing full well they have little to worry about in case they’ve missed any messages.

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.

Plugin Updates as of Launch Date to 2018.04.14~

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).
