This is a short tutorial to show you how to work with RPG Maker's autotiles in Tiled to make pre-rendering mapping easier. This is a very basic rundown of how to use RPG Maker MV auto tiles as terrains in TileD (Terrains are used like autotiles in TileD) It also covers how to animate RPG Maker animated autotiles in TileD. Still in early stages but should contain a lot of useful information. Always make backups.Ī redo of the documentation.

The first proper library of RPG Maker MZ plug-ins are the VisuStella plugins. MadeWithMv shows a splash screen when starting the game, and to save time it should be disabled when creating or testing a game, as it will always appear when starting it or when the game is reset by using the F5 refresh function. Community_Basic is used to modify basic elements of the game such as resolution. New RPG Maker MV games created with modern versions of the program come with two plugins preinstalled, Community_Basic, and MadeWithMv. Additionally, developers of plugins can warn users in the program on what order the plugins need to be loaded in. In RPG Maker MZ, a check mark box allows users to more quickly enable and disable plugins, by merely clicking on the boxes on the plugin listing instead of opening the menu for the specified plugin. Plugins may be disabled or enabled using the Plugin Manager, or removed altogether, so that debugging problems caused by a new plugin added to the game is possible, and outright removing plugins that are no longer wanted or do not do what the developer thought it would do is also possible. This also allows the user to separate the plugins into sections by using a dummy separator plugin named "-" for example. Changing the order of plugins is useful when installing other user's plugins, as they may not work correctly if they are loaded in the wrong order. It is also used to configure the order in which plugins are loaded, as well as configure plugin settings. The Plugin Manager is used to add plugins into a game. Plugins can be created in any text editor, such as Notepad++ or Geany. Game plugins are stored in the "Project\js\plugins\" folder. Plugins are added to a game by using the Plugin Manager. JavaScript (not to be confused with Oracle's Java programming language) is a language commonly used to add functionality to websites. Plugins use the JavaScript programming language instead of the Ruby language scripts of past RPG Maker programs since RPG Maker XP, for better compatibility with the new HTML5 engine and improved ease of use with customizing the engine. In RPG Maker MZ, they can easily be turned on/off. Plugins allow for the extensive customization of the engine used for RPG Maker MV games.
