Hey Echo! Thank you for making this Video!! all the other minimap tutorials were a little more than confusing for someone just starting using RPG maker MV and this helped me a lot!! Thank you Again!
lol, this video was posted on my birthday and also opened my mind to how can I explored the rpg maker, thank u so much for this video and keep being adorable as you are
Really good tutorial. I like anything I can do with events over plugins, because you can customize it just the way you want it.
+The Infamous Bon Bon :3 I agree. Given, things are usually easier with plugins, but events give non-scripters a lot more freedom to make what they want^_^
Simple yet powerful minimap tutorial
Thanks a ton for the awesome advice/tutorial! Was needing a good minimap system, but the only good plugin I could find isn't quite what I needed and conflicts with other plugins. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
that was amazing i didn't even think of a mini-map... i might have to do something like. Echo you're simply amazing keep up the good work. this video alone make subscribing to your channel worth it. your cute voice and easy explaining don't hurt neither.
OMG THANK YOU! I was having issues getting a map to stay open/closed at player choice via events so ended up just having the map show up for x amount of time then go off via an item.
Woot! This helped a lot. Your tutorials are great. I also melt a little every time you do your intro >///
I probably won't use it but your tutorials get a like. they are easy to follow and well done
Another great video, keep em' coming!
OMFG I LOVE YOU!!!!! Thank you very much for this tutorial, it's actually easy to create this by simple events wow I'm flashed :)
aaaAAHHH! I need this. Thanks again for another awesome tip. Making things a lot easier since the RM2k3 days
these videos has been very informative... I've been pushing myself to make a RPG with the story I made long ago, with characters made along the way. but never got the chance to do so until recently! beside the fact that I have made a Pokemon Fan Game, but thats beside the point...
This is quite old but still a nice solution for a Minimap / Map. I will be using part of this idea for my game. But I modified it quite a bit. As of now we have awesome plugins (You didnt have back then) to make use of this idea. I am using Yanfly's Scene Manager + ButtonCommonEvents + KeyboardConfig to make it a on and off switch event. This way will make it less heavy on the Engine compared to this ''old'' method shown in your video. So as of now I open the bigger map with M key and optionally I could add a Minimap toggle on my N key for example. So even tho there might be minimap plugins out there, your idea is way better, easier to adjust it the way you want it and you can use the exact image of your map and only need a filter or whatever on it which is easily added via photoshop as you also demonstrated for beginners! So thank you very much I will credit you.
Excellent tutorial. I can't wait until I'm ready to use it. I'm still fumbling around with all the basic stuff MV has to offer, and I'm just scratching the surface.
Thanks Echo, worked great.
Some issues that people may run into.
A) if your icon is not in the same place as your character then and your 100% sure you followed all of the eventing commands that echo did in her tutorial then your issue may be the map size. You need to make sure that the size of your map on Photoshop or GIMP is indeed a common multiple of whatever your map size was in RPG maker. You can find this out by right clicking your map and clicking edit in rpgmaker. So, for example, if your map size was 30 x 30 pixels in rpg maker then in photoshop you can have an image size of 60 x 60, 120 x 120 to 300 x 300 etc.. Any one of them would be a common multiple of 30 (there are of course loads more combinations). However, you need to keep in mind how much you times the original map size by. So, for example, if I chose my map size to be 300 x 300 pixels in photoshop then then it a multiple of 10 (to get from 30 to 300). If I chose 120 x 120 pixels then that would be a multiple of 4 (to get from 30 to 120).
B) if you get a black screen when entering houses while the full map size is on then the only solution I found so far is this: you need to create a conditional branch on the door transfer even. Place the condition ‘if map size is < 2 then’… (and leave this blank or give the player a message such as ‘toggle off map’) or else (then the rest of the transfer door event).
Woa! Nice skills! I'm going to try in VX ACE and see if it's possible to do the minimap XD
It didn't worked accurately with me at first (my player icon wasn't exactly on place), but I worked around it by summing numbers to the X and Y variables and it worked perfectly! Just letting people know this method in case they find the same problem too.
Thanks for the tutorial.
You are a Game Making Goddess! Hail!
This is awesome! I'm not sure I get it all because I'm not that good in math haha, but it works and looks great :D
Excellent tutorial!
echo607@ you're sooo great..
I'm proud to having you on RPG Maker.. :D
This is awesome!
Amazing! This is a life saver! 🥰🥰
minimap goodness! :D so games REALLY need this feature and dont have it.
Excellent tutorial. I have a ridiculous world map in my current game, and my compass system was unreliable. This works much better.
it's so useful thank you so much.
Do you do voice acting? Because your voice is great! This helped a lot, thanks!
Awesome, I been looking for a tutorial on how to do this for a while, was really helpful. Quick question though, if you wanted the map to only be revealed in sections as it is explored how would you go about setting that up?
yeah, i'd like that please let us know!
Great information :D
Hello Echo, what if I go to another place and I need to change the map photo and size, like for example house, or dungeon, do I still do the same thing like yours?? :)
Hmm is there a efficient way of having sort of a exploration system on the mini maps like unexplored area are just grey or foggy and unlocks when you walk within a certain range
I'm having an issue with this. I can create the map and all in PS and set ti to x2. When I create just the base event for the mini-map, the screen goes black as soon as I enter the world map. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Hey, Echo I Have a couple of questions:
1: Is It Possible To Make The Mini Map Invisible Before Obtaining The Actually Mini Map Key Item?
2: How can I program my mini maps to switch depending what map the player is on?
Hi Echo I really like you Rpg Maker videos :)... This Minimap works even if I'm on other map o I have to do one minimap for each map in the game? Let's say I'm in a town inside the world map. And there's a way for the map just pop up when I hit a key or open a Item on inventory?
Thanks!!!
Hey Echo! I am having a problem. I follow all your instructions and when i display the picture, may pic is igantic while urs is scaled perfectly... How do i fix that?
Super cool feature. I personally use VX Ace . I would like to make a game without having to utilize other people's scripts. So I'll take all of your Event magic I can get
Hi echo! Do you know how to change the bits in RPG maker MV from 48 to 32?
This was very interesting. Would like to try some day, but it is a bit complicated and going so fast, is there any chance you have this tutorial in written form with images in a blog or on a patreon or something similar? Or would like to make one? I might need to watch it many times otherwise so it is not like the world ends if you don't have one or want to make one, so no stress or bad feelings in that case. Thanks so much for showing this.
Echo, Have you ever thought about doing a tutorial series? Like where you start a game from scratch, and explain everything from mapping to basic events and so on and so on.. Becaus as i am still a huge noob, i find it hard to know with which tutorials to start, although your tutorials are really helpfull and well explained ^^ But seeing like a tutrial series so i know where to start and how to start my own game would be REALLY helpfull :D
+riddermichi Well, I have a short let's-make-a-game-series - I don't exactly
~explain~ every single thing, but I do go through basic examples of
things like bosses, cutscenes, maps, npcs, ect

Cool, i'll check them out :D
Hi! One question... when you multiply the variables X and Y, how do you know what number to multiply for?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
how to make a revealing mini map? for example places where the player wasn't are black and will be only shown, when the player was there?
*Looks at game name*
I wonder what movie you're excited for?
I am starting to make game so this help thank you
What happens if my "mini" map is too big and I have to lower the scale of the picture by 50%? How would I make my icons line up? I've tried diving by 4 but it ends up way lower than I need it to be. Do I have to times it by 2 and then also divide by 4?
Edit: Nope you divide by 2 after multiplying by 2. ^_^ I figured it out.
Hi, i try to do it but i have some troubles with the size of the map. I dont understand how to know how much i need to reduce it. Can you explain me how ? Im sorry im french and audio english is hard for me
I'm struggling with the numbers. So, I set it up, but the player icon moves at the correct speed, but I can't get it to appear in the right place, no matter what I do.
You are almost to fast with your mouse took me a couple replays to get it but...Awesome very awesome. Thanks hun and your voice is amazing. You should be a voice actor
what image editing tool do you use
Can you help me with one of my maps... its 40X40 and i can't get my player dot to line up to my player character
Please make video about Optimizing. I have performance issues although my Computer is good enough to handle the engine.
ok soooo I know everyone will know how do fix this but I don't if I edit any characters then a cube around them is white rather than transparent does anyone know how to fix this
Minimap uh? may use that for my project :P
Damn, you know your stuff o_o how'd you learn all that? (control variables, etc.)
When I page up and the map disappears it won't page up and show the map again. Please help?
Anyone know how to do this in GIMP? I actually have already done the map with the same overlayered map image, but i can never figure out how to make the edges look darker.
+LordSquirrelShow I don't know of a specific way, but something you could do is select the contents of the layer, create a new layer, then make a dark outline around the inside of it manually with a brush or something and modify it from there:P
Love this tutorial on maps, was wondering if you have found a way to make a scrolling map and a map that appears as you explore inside dungeons? That way they don't get the entire map right off the bat but still get a mini map.
I've thought about this, and while i haven't tried it myself yet, you could probably take a regular map, cut it into pieces, and then have each piece set to appear as the player goes through by putting events at the places you want and having them use self switches to show the piece and make it there forever.
Or something like that, i'm not sure
+xSigma Alphax nice idea. Didn't think about that.
Aaron Cheek Thanks! Glad i can be helpful
Right click top layer. Choose "Create Clipping Mask". Done.
Thank U ! I don't need Plugins ! Minimap in Plugins is very hard to complete :( But u help me ! Thank you !
is there a way to add fog of war to the map?
Can you add Fog of War into this? It would practically make me finish my project.
one question:
whats that "PS" icon app full name ?
whats that app name, where you made the minimap ?
Photoshop LMAO
Nice tutorial. Really helped me. Cute voice :)
What if my map is only w = 18 h = 16?
how you can move on the world whitouht change the map
Awesome! thankyou do you have any finished game btw? I wanna see and play it cheers!
+palavoyz Two complete, for rmxp. Gaia's Melody(made it when I was 13, it's reaaally buggy and full of typos) and Gaia's Melody Another Epilogue.
I'll be doing a Let's Play of GM1 the week after christmas:3
endlessgaming.today/downloads/xp-downloads.php
Annnnddd....my brain has officially exploded. Good thing my world is so small I don't need a map.............I hope. o.o
Thanks for this tutorial :3 Does it work with Ace?
Probably, try it out!
i can't find minemap sample...
If I make it like that my mini map is kinda huge....xD. It's not working I'm so stupid :(
I love how you said "bleh" lol kawaii as fck
I'm confused about the numbers.. The Dot was gone
I need help
You have a cute voice
Thank you for the tutorial
Another great video!!!! But what if I don't want a minimap for ever map, like small dungeons. My world map is showing up in my dungeons, and I don't want a map there. Also don't want to turn on off map in game to get rid of world map when I go in the dungeon I want it to automatically turn off. Please help..........Thanks Echo
+Demon Erase the images on the transfer event:P
what pic editor did yu use
+Kaleb Whittingstall I use photoshop cs6, though Gimp is a good option if you want free.
Lol. I just installed a minimap yesterday, though it is only on the world map similar to FF6 and FF7. For that I found that HajimeHoshi has an amazing plugin. Just it's not very detailed (Again, FF6/FF7 style), so I'd suggest only using it on the world map lol.
+Alex “Star” Whyte I do like this lots more though, But for not having photoshop or anything really half decent to use, that's the best plugin I've found lol.
oh my god!!! Very complex Event!!!!
im having trouble with this...
the minimap doesn't vanish when i enter another map...
i wanted to make a minimap system like final fantasy 6's, where the minimap appears on the low right corner, but it disappears when you enter another map
put erase event above transfer player
It a Breath of the Wild style, I like it!
4:50 (or you want to show where the chests are at)
All of this RPG Maker stuff is really cool, but kinda confusing to me.
its imposible to follow these tutorials, its supposed to help not the oposite
i love how it says every one on mv is playing minecraft
Maaan, I see these videos and I get the urge to make something in RPG maker... But when I go there I don't know what the hell to do. Inspiration ain't coming :(
Hey thank you for the details but for me .. you click too fast and some things like this character point is not clear where it does come from .. well than you click so fast ,for me too fast and need to long to find out what you did. For you is it clear but for new one is it hard to find out.
Anyway thankyou for the rest of information. All works just not this point thing..
Everybody, just keeping hitting "7" on your keyboard, and remember that somebody made that sound with their throat!
If only I didn't have to take screenshots with VX Ace
Are you an anime voice actor?
A weird thing i did when i saw thing is reached AT THE SCREEN AND MADE THE GRABBING GESTURE LIKE GIMME Xd thats one thing i did and its funnyyyy
Aka not possible on console
Love it but man is that a lot of work.... I'll add that in the "Game" not the demo :P
Whilst you obviously know you’re doing you whizz through everything so quickly it’s impossible to follow.
Just :O
Girl, you're like a fuckin wizard or something.
you sound like an anime character
🐔BOR-ING!!!
echo u speak very fast and i am never able to catch what you say and never get to rember
🐥are you an elf person? I myself live inside of a cage but my master takes good care of me....
🐭none of this matters if you can't make your game fun to play. like with a cool story, and some cool characters,etc. I'd rather play zelda 1 on the nes than most of these rpg maker games. Sure there are some talented town builders and map makers out there but for the love of god can anybody create a FUN GAME????
🦫blah blah blah! make a tutorial on how to make a game that's actually fun to play for a change...i've played so many boring games on rpg makers. Am I the only one who can make a fun game around here????????
