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!

 

Librarium Animated – Mechadragon Ladon

ladonRBanner

This time around we see the release of Mecha-Dragon Ladon, as suggested by Gabriele Marzagalli over at Patreon!

This giant snake-like clockwork dragon was once created by gods to guard the tree of the golden apples, but some of the apples’ seeds fell between his gears and sprouted. Now he is half robot and half plant, with bushes and vines growing out of his body, as well as some golden flowers that maybe one day will be golden apples. But Ladon won’t obey to his gods anymore, he will protect the tree from everyone no matter who it is.  -Gabriele M.

A fun creature for sure, mixing machinery and earth together!

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_objects.js

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

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.

YEP.162 – Advanced Switches and Variables Tutorial – RPG Maker MV

NOTE: This is a tutorial made for the Advanced Switches & Variables plugin.

Many of you have asked what are some more ways we can use this plugin. That’s a very good question because there’s a lot of things you can do with this plugin. However, instead of giving the answers to every single example, it may be better for me to give you the actual Eval codes themselves and the description so you can figure out the things you can do with it, instead. There will be a “possible use” example listed just to give you an idea how things may be used. Hopefully, upon reading the descriptions for each one, you may come up with some ideas or answers to what you are looking for!
