itch.io

That's the plan :)

Okay, let's go through this step by step:

1. First of all, can you confirm that you press the action key when you are in the game's main menu (where you see the commands "item", "skill", etc.) ?
2. Have you tested it with all other plugins switched off?
3. Does your game crash, or does it run and you see the "could not read config.json" in the dev console? This error message isn't necessarily a bad thing. The config file contains the settings you choose in the toolbox, so when you start it for the first time, it simply doesn't exist yet. Although the error message looks a bit strange, I, as the programmer, cannot prevent it from being written to the console due to JavaScript and Node.js.

For some people the F9 key doesn't work, I don't know why. In the plugin manager, you can choose a different action key to open the toolbox, hope this helps!

No, I don't use AI to generate code. I sometimes use AI to review code, that's it.

Of course, you can add any images you like!

Thanks for your report!

This will be fixed with the next update

That would require a completely different approach of programming than this plugin is using, so I don't think I will implement it. If you find a grid based inventory plugin, you can of course ask me to make them compatible if needed

Thanks for your message!

Can you maybe share a screenshot with me? I cannot reproduce this problem yet.

You can also send me your config file (your game/uicustom/config.json) via mail (mail@aerosys.blog), that would help me a lot! (Don't worry about any custom pictures that are referred in the config file, I can still inspect it)

That sometimes happens in battle test when the project data is not saved. Close the database, save the project, reopen the database, and then do a battle test again. Less a plugin issue and more about how RPG Maker works.

Go into the Plugin Manager -> this plugin -> Actor Portraits -> default Portraits

You can also go to "conditional portraits", e.g. when an actor should have a different picture when wearing some specific weapon or changed their class during the story progress.

I don't think GIFs are supported in this context, and even if they were, I'm more concerned about performance issues.

However, what is actually possible are tiny animations such as blinking (including parameters such as intensity, pulse speed, ...), moving (like map parallaxes, probably very similar to your suggestion), or splitting a PNG file into X frames and cycling them through (basically the same as animated characters or battlers work)

Thanks for your report, I will look into it!

The plugin will always stretch them automatically 

The notetags are explained in the respective tabs (Item List Window & Item Detail Window (Image). Basically, when your image file has the name "Potion.png" and is located in img/pictures/items, then the notetags are

<Menu Grid Image: items/Potion>
<Menu Image: items/Potion>

The second one is used for the item inspection window on the right.

A sample game is not planned for this project as making some and keeping it up to date is a lot of additional work.

Open the config file in your game/uicustom/config.json and remove the line that contains the incorrect file. Watch for trailing commas.

As last resort, delete the config file to reset the plugin. The plugin will create a new one automatically when starting the game.

Templates are managed in the plugin manager, and no, they don't need to be downloaded somewhere. Read more: https://aerosys.blog/templates

The error sometimes appears because the "useSnippets?" settings is incorrectly set. Make sure that in the command to generate a dungeon, the setting "useSnippets" is either on or off. This setting is also explained here: https://aerosys.blog/eventing-rpg-maker-mz

I quickly checked the code, and while one could indeed disable some mouse-click actions for windows, it would take some work to disable ALL actions (e.g., mouse wheel should be disabled, too? What about clicking on enemies for target selection?), and it would also raise the risks of interfering with other plugins

Awesome!

Yes, you can open the "rmmz_windows" / "rpg_windows" file in your game directory with a text editor and then browse for all the different window names, and then simply repeat the code snippet that we did for the Window_TitleCommand.

My plugin doesn't support the Title Screen. However, you can easily add a new plugin file (with any name) and paste this:

/*
 *: @target MZ
 */
Window_TitleCommand.prototype.getBackOpacity = function() {
  return 196; // any number from 0 to 255
}

In "Windows General", you will find an "opacity" setting. That should work.

In the Plugin Manager -> MKUIcustomizer Main, you can now assign a different action key to open the toolbox, hope that helps

Glad you like it!

It took me actually a few hours to design the icon picker

Visustella is really proactive here, and their modifications on gauges precede mine. Again, you have 2 plugins that do similar things, so in the end, one plugin (in this case, VS) will "win" over the other. By the way, in this case, it doesn't matter which plugin is loaded "more on the bottom" in the plugin manager.

In my opinion, VS should add more toggles to let the game devs decide whether they want VS to modify the gauges, or not. I'm a bit reluctant to implement a procedure into my plugin that actively force-reverts a feature of another plugin. By the way, that has nothing to do with their code obfuscation (the debugger already exposes how to revert VS functions), but it's more of a psychological question.

Fortunately, VS shows some mercy and lets the game devs actually revert their gauge modifications via some hidden way:

• Go into the Plugin Manager -> VS SkillAndStatesCore -> Skill Cost Types
• Repeat the following for HP, MP, TP:
• Open the setting "JS: draw Gauge", clear everything, and paste:

// Declare Variables
const sprite = this;
// Draw Gauge
sprite.drawGauge()
// Draw Label
sprite.drawLabel()
// Draw Value
sprite.drawValue()

From a technical point of view, this is the cleanest way to drop VS modifications for gauges, and let my plugin take over control again.

Get the latest versions of all my customizer plugins, then open the toolbox in the main menu. In "Gauge Settings", you find a new option "enable further modifications" that gives you more control over gauges.

In the end, both VS and my plugins modify the gauges. I think you understand that I'm a bit reluctant to make my plugin deliberately revert another plugin creator's features.

Yes, you were absolutely right, I somehow missed this.

I just uploaded a new version (1.0.2) - please try again!

Thank you for your report!

Sometimes it's just the "Scale with Minimap?" setting in the Event Template that makes the indicator so tiny it's no longer visible, especially on large world maps. Setting it to "disabled" is usually the best choice.

Verify that the plugin's version is 2.0.1. Sometimes you need to force-refresh the page when downloading my plugin.

Fixed, please try again!

I just scanned my code and it looks like there's an error that happens only in the MV version when a tilesets/event/... has an empty graphics assigned. That truly was difficult to spot.

I fix this as soon as possible! Thanks for reporting!

Have you already tried switching off all other plugins?

My Discord is visible on my blog

(Not yet on mobile, use desktop version when visiting this link)

I just uploaded version 3.2.4 to fix this problem. Please try again.

Yeah, this is actually an impression that I receive a lot!

It takes some time to learn, but at some point, it clicks to the devs and then they are super happy with all the options they have!

By the way, to finally reduce this coonfusion, I'm looking for alternative terms for this "layout settings"; I'm thinking about terms like

• Floor arrangement
• Level arrangement
• Map arrangement
• ...

Without too much thinking, what would be a term where you think that sounds intuitive?

I just uploaded a new version 1.0.2 (I was working on that anyway).

With this update, please follow this procedure:

• In the Plugin Manager -> MK_Capture, set "On Capture Action" to "just disappear"
• right below, assign "Actor -> Variable" to a fresh new Variable
• then, assign "Run Common Event" to a new Common Event

This Common Event is now run each time you capture an enemy. The Variable holds their ID. So, inside this Common Event, you can do anything you need, e.g. flipping a Switch "Werewolf captured" to ON.

This sounds like some slight missunderstanding about how Random Maps understands "layouts" and "exits".

Layouts manage how all the maps are connected to each other, see: https://aerosys.blog/room-layouts It does not affect how the small "rooms" on one generated map look like. Instead, 5x5 means that Random Maps will pre-generate 25 maps in total that are connected in a 5x5 grid. Meaning, that there ARE horizontal exits in each map.

To only enable vertical exits, the simplest way is to use a "tower" room layout.

Well, usually I would have asked you to ask the Rosedale dev for support, since I don't own this plugin. Unfortunately, he passed away while ago.

I quickly made this fix: https://downloads.aerosys.blog/plugins/MK_BackgroundSpriteFiltersFix.js (right-click, save as...)

Please tell me whether it's working for you, then I can integrate it to plugin for everyone.

Have you already tried different plugin orders?

The changelog is now available :)

https://aerosys.itch.io/custom-ui/devlog/1523126/version-200

Thanks for your report!

I quickly checked my coding, and it turned out to be a programming error on my part. I will fix it and upload a new version as soon as possible!

Don't worry asking questions, I really appreciate them! They tell me that you guys like my stuff :)

My plugin does not add a "new" layer, that would be too complicated. Instead, I designed it to follow RPG Maker's 6 layers world (i.e. A lower, A upper, B lower, B upper, shadows, region tiles).

I briefly tested this pattern, and it worked for me. I was able to first build the window (line 6), and then the flowers (line 7) on top.

Tell me whether this fits your needs!
