How to move my arrow's position [RPGMV]

https://preview.redd.it/1a2n015dca8e1.png?width=825&format=png&auto=webp&s=e7361b3269af0198196b66fe0ac5f9dda3388c2d

As you can see, I made an horizontal leaning arrow, and i wish it actually was on the lower right corner of the message box. I have no idea how to do that. Do you guys know?

What are some tips for achieving good isometric level designs from blender to RPGMakerMV?

I can't do 2D art / tilesets to save my life, So I'd like to do most of my design in 3D using Blender.
Currently my only issue at the moment is understanding the width and height for the map sizes on RPGMaker MV.

What is a consistent way of having the playable character fit correctly with the 3D isometric environment made in blender? I can only make them fit well in smaller rooms. Here's a screenshot.

Also I do know about the Blender to RPGMaker 3d isometric mapping pipeline tutorial by Amarok on rpgmakerweb, But I feel like it's lacking information such as the right tile sizes I should be using for each png size resolution.

Can someone help me fix the performance problem?

I always play RPG Maker games (especially MV) with 60? FPS. I installed more RAM from 8 to 16 GB, after that I'm messing with Nvidia control panel a bit. Now every time I play the games, it's lagging so much, probably around 15-20 FPS. I don't know what happened but these are only 2 things I've done before playing any MV games

really need help

I tried searching how to fix the problem, but others panel is different from mine, so I don't know what to change

(Reposted, sorry, I forgot the tags) Sorry for posting so fast, But I found a new problem, and seems dire the Moghunter Battle hud seems to have broken in something important

Ok, listen

I tried to make a "Screen animation" to make a skill to appear as an AOE attack

Basically on Side view, it makes a skill to cover all battlers

In Mog when using Front view, it appears covering the screen normally, and I know it because it seems the MV Master Sample Proyect works fine

Now, the thing is that when doing it on any battle hud (Im using the "Six Party" battle hud) it appears on the corner and the mayority is out of the screen

I'm using a higher resolution Yes, B U T

I did testing on a fresh proyect with a recently downloaded Master MV proyect extracted plugin

And it still fails to show it correctly

This is a problem because to me it kindda kills the hud

And I must say, I was in absolute love, now Im on absolute dispair and I found out other person asked on the forums like, last year (I think) and no one had an answer

So I ask, do you have a solution?

Can you pls give it to me?

Please?!

Its important because leaving it unatended will kill this hud for Front View games like the amateur thing I want to try

Can someone explain to me like I'm five how to install animations?

I copied the animations and music (I think correctly) into the RPG Maker MZ Folder but no visual or audio shows up when I try to preview the animation.

I must of done something wrong but I can't figure out what.

Combat UI Rough Draft

Just sharing a rough draft of a combat UI using VisuStella Frontview and ATB with field gauge. It has 16 equippable skills per character so I just threw some random ones to sample size it. Any thoughts? Should I add some transparency to the field gauge arrows?

Are there plugins that let me zoom OUT during gameplay?

I find plenty that let me zoom in, but that's useless to me. I need something that zooms out and also stays zoomed out until reverted so the player can see more of the map. There's a big image that the player needs to see in full to properly understand what's going on, otherwise it'd be frustrating and most of the image would be out of view.

How much does Erase Event play into performance/lag?

So I’ve been using switches and erase event command instead of self switches to get rid of parallel events so far. But is self switches generally preferable to erase event commands if you want to make sure the game doesn’t lag/have performance issues? (I currently have minor lag on some scenes) Like, I’m not tech savvy but I can imagine that maybe erase events still gets stored in some sort of cache somewhere? Help is appreciated!

Sorry I need asistance, How can I make a skill to use another skill before executing itself?

You see, I want to use a front battle system

And I noticed MogHunter's Hub does not allow casting animations

BUT, I discovered that when you get hit by an attack or get a buff, you get the animation over the player

So I got an idea

I make it so when I cast a skill, it calls another that only casts an animation on the player (like a fake healing that does nothing) to imitate an aura and then do the attack

This is great because Yanfly's casting animation only affects Sideview battles and not front view and this is actually compatible with Yanfly's Battle Status as well so you can with this do the skills to have a casting animation

I just need to know

How can I make a skill use another and then proceed like usual?

3D Character Converter - How long to import a .vrm file?

Tagged with "Unite" since the converter was made for it, but I'm not actually using Unite. I just picked up 3D Character Converter over the winter sale since I'm also a VRoid custom content creator, and I thought it would be fun to mini-ize some of my models/clothing.

I set a basic model (wearing only simple clothing, simple hairstyle so as few bones/polys to deal with as possible) to import, and ten minutes later, it's still sitting there doing nothing.

At first I thought it was because I had the app on my games HDD so I reinstalled to my OS SSD, and even moved the VRM files to a folder inside my documents in case that helped (which it didn't).

I'm completely at a loss as to how to proceed now. Looking around online, it should just lould just import the model. Instead, it's "locked up" like it's processing the model, but my system manger shows it using almost zero processor/RAM. Any thoughts?

Edit: Just tried closing out and deleting the user folder under /Locallow/ - no change.

I just added some new animations to my Action Battle System template! What should I do next?

Video showcasing the new animations

With this template, you can create your very own A-RPG's! What!? Code that can be edited and user-friendly, plugins from the community that you can just import and then play!?

With the new update, I have added:

- The ability to import plugins with preset parameters

- The ability to plug & play instead of fixing bugs

- The ability to add multi-frame assets to the project (As long as you add the # before the (*) parameters! It'll mess up if you don't!)

Get it on Itch.io!
Get it now with the Winter Blizzard Sale Bundle! https://kubataiga.itch.io/action-battle-system-template

I posted my demo back in March - tonight I just hit 4k downloads! 🎉

This week has been incredibly hard for me as just a few days ago marked the 3 year anniversary of my attempt/coma. And in a few more weeks it will be the 3 year anniversary of my first ever game One Way Lane. I picked up game dev as a fun way to relearn art during my recovery process. If you had told 19 year old me downloading RPG Maker and playing around with Aseprite would eventually land me here I would have never believed you.

I can't be more thankful for everyone I've met a long this journey. Some even directly from this subreddit! This is my first ever project so it will take awhile, but I hope everyone who's played the demo thus far will keep up with me till the full release. Christmas is always hard for me but I feel like I've been given this milestone as a gift this year. I think if I actually could go back to 19 year old me I'd tell her one things for sure, it does get better.

Is MZ an improvement from MV?

Hi everyone! I currently have MV and I enjoy it, but I noticed that MZ was on sale on Steam right now and I'm wondering if it's worth the investment to switch. Some of the things I'm curious about are:

  • Is the map layering system any good?
  • How are the plugins? Does it have the same range/quality of plugins as MV?
  • Are there any other noticeable improvements from MV?

Me and my friend need help

Me and my friend are new to RPG maker, as we want to get into making maps and games, we are quite stuck though as we want to change the title picture, but we have basically no idea what to do, as it says we need to resize the picture we want to use for the title picture, but it does not give us a defined ratio for the picture size, that is just one of the many instances of how lost we are with game-making on this software and game-making in general, any assistance experienced users of RM2K3 would be very helpful!

It's been 11 months of development. I've improved the art quite a little.
