I know this video is a while back, and not sure if anyone brought it up, but what I like to do for dialogue events if I know they're all going to follow a pattern (i.e. the dim setting) is to make a template line where I change those settings, then copy the scripting line. Instead of picking display message from the list of actions, I just paste the block and open it up in the editor. I hope that made sense and helped if you were still looking for a solution. Of course, this only saves time if you're not copying other blocks of code in the middle of the event.
You do such a wonderful job explaining things and you talk like an anime character. What's not to like? :) I knew you would become really popular in the RPG community the day I saw your first RMMV vid. Intelligent girl with so much talent! Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials.
Could anyone give me a roundabout of how big a parallax map can be before running into lag issues in game? Re-working a game from XP and have maps that are around 150 x 100. Is this too big? Any help will be greatly appreciated! :D Also EXTREMELY useful tutorials Echo! Thank you!
Would love to see this as well. Just for reference (i typically use game character hub for that sort of thing) What would be extremely helpful is finding were i can get generator parts too add. Body parts for making character portraits with various options to show emotions, outfits, hair with various styles, accessories. My other goal is finding game assets that look less {generic rpg maker} and more 8 or 16bit rpg style. I have various assets but they're all done in various art styles and don't match. I have been practicing pixleart so i can one day make my own assets as needed but that's still a long road ahead.
I would love to know how to change and add things to the character generator as well and even how to change their clothes as they put on different outfits as well
Echo! I have a question, where can I publishize my rpgmaker game if I'm done? And how do I do it? Do I need to compress things and all of that tech mambo jumbo?
They feature an intelligent person who seems to love what she does. It's the ammount of passion she puts into it, as well as her chirpy attitude that makes her videos so good.
New to your channel and ive been spamming your vids so far, cool stuff to look at. Do you use a plug in for your message box? It looks different from the default one. Keep up the awesome work Echo.
+White Devil The window skin itself I modified because I wanted it see-through in the battle window, but I've just been using the window mainly - I think the only plugin-related message thing I have just changes the box dimensions:3 Also, thankies^_^
Oh, which plugin changes the dimensions? It looks better than the default ._. And do you have something that changes the text? It looks neater, unless its just me. And no problem. Thanks for the reply.
+White Devil Oh, I might have had the font set to MS PGothic. If you like it, a simple google search will bring you to a download link. And you can change both the game font and the window width in the YEP_MessageCore plugin.
So, I'm using RPG Maker MV for the first time. A while ago I watched a number of tutorials (and etc.), so I know how to do most things. Yet, for some reason I cannot make doors / transfers work. Every time I try to make it so you move to path 2 from path 1, it won't let me set it to path 2. Could you help me with this? I also seem to not be able to make a character walk for an event. Thanks in advance.
Please show how to do edits to things... reskins... things like that. I am starting on my first game ever, and it would be wonderful to have some information on how to do that
+Lord of Subspace I'll be doing a tutorial on how to use an image editor to recolor graphics and such:3 (Will likely include monsters, sprites, and screwing around with some of the \system images like the windowskin) If there's anything you'd like me to add to that list, let me know^_^
Well, what about making something not like anything in the list? Like... for example, I am gonna use Mangle from the popular game Five Nights at Freddy's (Not in the game I have planned, just for this example) .... Mangle is unlike any other character ever, and would need a walk cycle different than any normal character, a portrait that isn't in the files, damage effects, attacking animation, etc. ... And especially in my case, I am going to be relying almost entirely on sprite work, though I may play around with battle sequences. I am going to do a horror game, so I am going to try my best to make everything work right... oh, I guess that brings up the final question of how can I make characters interact with environments? let's use coming out of a hole in the floor as an example.. I am sorry if I am overwhelming you, I just want to make sure I do this correctly, and I honestly have no idea how to do any of these things, so I am just studying a little... I really want to make this a good game...
I think I see where you're coming from. That's a lot of specified stuff :P I'm not sure I could tutorial-ize that at the moment(I'll be doing a horror tutorial...thing... at some point though), but, if you'd like, send me a PM and I can give you a few suggestions and talk you through how to do some things like that(as to not clutter the comment section) ^_^
You can as long as you don't use resources that come with rpg (so and so) maker. You can use other people's stuff if they are willing. some people will ask for credit if published. which is easy to do by putting there name in the credits or a text based file in the folder when published. I hope this helps :)
How were you able to fix the lag? My game keeps lagging a ton just from the difference of if there's a text box on the screen or not. Also thanks for all these videos, I like to watch them on the side while I work on my game (:
+Snyper Karot If you have the steam version(or upgraded to the current version... which I think is still MV 1.0.1 but I'm not sure) Create a new game project, copy the files in the /js folder(excluding plugins) and paste it over your game's /js folder. If that doesn't work, lag also happens a lot when using bigger resolutions. Also, try "deploying" the game(under file) and see if the .exe file it creates has lag - if it doesn't, it's just the game editor being a jerk. Besides that... MV is evil and likes to lag slower computers:P
It helped a lot! Thank you! I kinda messed things up because I accidentally copied the plugins file too, but I was able to fix it. Thanks for responding so quickly, and as a sidenote, thanks for the Action Sequence tutorials, they're the best ( ＾∇＾)
+Gamerpro69 I'd likely just add a weapon graphic to them afterwards using something like gimp or photoshop, if you tried to add them into the generator it would take up a graphical slot like accessories or something. I'm actually hoping for a plugin that let's their equipped weapon show up on their idle pose and such instead of just the Attacking animation, but I haven't come across something like that yet:(
+Echo607 thank you for the quick response would you mind doing a tutorial to edit like on paint please I wouldn't know how to add it so it looks good and not weird looking lol really would appreciate it :)

+Echo607 thank you for the quick response would you mind doing a tutorial to edit like on paint please I wouldn't know how to add it so it looks good and not weird looking lol really would appreciate it :)
Well, paint is... not the best program to use for editing lol. I'll be doing a tutorial on how to use Photoshop (and by extension, Gimp since it's free) at some point in the future (unfortunately not right away, since there's a looot to cover >_
+Hipnotic C Switches are there to turn things on or off(In most cases) Say you wanted to show an event during a cutscene. Have that event set with the conditions Switch X is on. When you start the cutscene, turn Switch X on. This will show the other event. Turn it off at the end, in the cutscene event, and the other event will disappear Here's a tutorial on it: th-cam.com/video/79EbqHH70Hc/w-d-xo.html
+Postive Molly You don't need to know any coding to use RPG Maker, unless you want to There are plenty of plug-and-play plugins which only really require you to change numbers and such. There ~are~ super complicated ones and obviously you can make your own, but again, it's not required to:3
the rage in vid has her voice GET MADDER AND MADDER second thing are you a guy or girl only making sure cause of the "her"? cause i think i have it right (only asking cause my brother sounds just like you don't ask why)
+Emperor Nuero ~_~ Because youtube is drunk. Should be fixed now - youtube auto selects a title if none exists, and it wasn't a feature I had access to for most of my earlier videos.
Thanks Echo.. I am soooooo including you in my first game as tribute. :))
Watching this i thought, you should do this live. because people would give you suggestions and you would have a blast! let me know if you ever do it.
I love the fact tat you perservere despite goofing up a million times, it is inspiring and will take you super far in life
hey i love the way you present your tutorials. nice work! YAY, and stuff. no, really I'm a big fan.
+Chris Wood Hahaha, thankies^_^

Puts a revive item next to the grave yard. That's dark...
Great tutorial by the way!!
Your voice is so adorable! X3

I knew you would become really popular in the RPG community the day I saw your first RMMV vid. Intelligent girl with so much talent! Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials.
+LauraCateP Thankies^_^ And thank you for taking the time to watch them:)
And very very very BROKEN.
Now you need to deal with me... The meme lord... The DESTROYER OF PEOPLE WITH LOGIC AND FACTS!
Just subscribed today. You have an awesome series of RPG Maker videos/tutorials. Thank you!
Tutorials are my favorite kinds of MV videos. I'd like to see that tutorial. :)
P.S. I enjoy watching the custom mapping parts.
Your video's are great! Keep up the good work, Echo!

Echo! I have a question, where can I publishize my rpgmaker game if I'm done? And how do I do it? Do I need to compress things and all of that tech mambo jumbo?
Man these videos.
How are they so good?
They feature an intelligent person who seems to love what she does. It's the ammount of passion she puts into it, as well as her chirpy attitude that makes her videos so good.
I plan on making a game in RPG Maker XP do you think you would make a tutorial on making a game in that (probz not) :3

Thank you very much ma'am, I will definitely take you up on that offer some time
do games usually lag this much on rpg maker?
What are the downsides of getting the trial? Also, can you use the games you make with this for commercial uses?
You can as long as you don't use resources that come with rpg (so and so) maker. You can use other people's stuff if they are willing. some people will ask for credit if published. which is easy to do by putting there name in the credits or a text based file in the folder when published. I hope this helps :)
The drawing process aside, i would love to see how to add parts in the char generator
+irvinewestcole669 also, fantasynamegenerators.com/
Please make a tutorial on how to add things. :)
Also do you do voice acting hahaha
excuse me, what is the JavaScript that you used to the menu?
+Arick Magalord AltMenuScreen3. I just created pictures since it uses them if you set it up to.
Thank you very much~

Happy to hear you've got everything sorted out^_^
I'm looking at you for ideas. good shit keep it up. i do have a question though. if thats cool, where do i get the sample maps? where is it located
+Clover Kings Right click on the Maps section, click "Load" - it should bring up a list of sample maps:3
thanks. I subbed. watching your tutorial series
^_^ Yay
I'd like to see that character generator adding tutorial thing. Hope you can come up with a better title than that. 😄
PS You kinda remind me of MorganWant except less vulgar, which is a good thing in my opinion. XD
And it took me all of 20 minutes to find out you had already made the video. And now I'm slightly embarrassed...but well done!
+Joshua Ward :)
+Echo607 Is this the part where I say "SENPAI NOTICED ME!!!!"? Cause I am unaware of your actual age and level. For all I know, you could be kōhai.
+Joshua Ward Okay, that post totally made my day^_^
Batch Entry is for more lines so you can just keep typing
hi nice tutorial do you know how to add weapons in the character maker so you can see the character hold weapons thanks :)
+Gamerpro69 I'd likely just add a weapon graphic to them afterwards using something like gimp or photoshop, if you tried to add them into the generator it would take up a graphical slot like accessories or something.

How do you make it full screen?
Does that music come with RPG Maker MV?
+east3myway The in-game music does(some of it is dlc for it though). The background music is from Jewelbeat.com
what does control switches mean? or what it does?
+Hipnotic C Switches are there to turn things on or off(In most cases)
Say you wanted to show an event during a cutscene. Have that event set with the conditions Switch X is on.
When you start the cutscene, turn Switch X on. This will show the other event.
Turn it off at the end, in the cutscene event, and the other event will disappear
Here's a tutorial on it:
th-cam.com/video/79EbqHH70Hc/w-d-xo.html
+Echo607 Thank you for the explanation :)
It's not working when I put it on auto run it keeps going I can't move around
So is any coding required with this or is it like Tyrano Builder?
+Postive Molly You don't need to know any coding to use RPG Maker, unless you want to There are plenty of plug-and-play plugins which only really require you to change numbers and such. There ~are~ super complicated ones and obviously you can make your own, but again, it's not required to:3
YAY, TUTORIALS (No, seriously, YAY!)
Not sure but I think I just became the 3,000th subscriber.
Okay.
+Mitchthe12th Wow, you're right. Yay!
Also thankies :3
Echo607 You're welcome! Thanks for keeping me up, last night, by the way (haroldharoldharoldharold). In that time you earned three other subs :P
+Echo607 when your done with this can you play it PLEASE
How do you get that extra music?
+Howtokillazomble It's DLC - I'm pretty sure you can find it on Steam.
Echo607 okay
Teach me. Teach me well.
this looks really hard to do, i might get it! xD
Not hard at all I made a full out finished game in 2 days
i wanna play this game so badly
😩
+Marry Kitten There's a download link in the description of the final part:P
+Echo607 :0 Really
So is RPGMAKER MV better than Vx Ace?
MV is easier and friendlier to use from what I have heard. But I use VX Ace because my pc cant handle MV.
Both are great honestly
the rage in vid has her voice GET MADDER AND MADDER
second thing are you a guy or girl only making sure cause of the "her"?
cause i think i have it right (only asking cause my brother sounds just like you don't ask why)
+KillerTeen Gaming (KillerTeenGaming) I'm very much a girl. lol. Though if I pitch change my brother he sounds just like me >_
Cool im still having trouble understanding how to use this ptogran though i have it
Lol
do you need to know how to code for this.
not really
SumRndmDde Has Some Scripting Tutorials :-P
In the description...
Game: Minecraft?!?!?
+Dark AngeL :/ It's been doing that on like ALL of my videos and I've got no idea why. My tags have literally NOTHING referencing minecraft O_O
why is the game "minecraft"?
+Emperor Nuero ~_~ Because youtube is drunk.
Should be fixed now - youtube auto selects a title if none exists, and it wasn't a feature I had access to for most of my earlier videos.
Echo607 oh good u actually reply i will use this opportunity to ask do you know the image dimensions to make a sprite two tiles high rather than 1?
how to fix lag
2018 here
