Game Character Hub (Powerful chara maker for RPG Maker XP / VX (Ace))

I'm not sure about what I'm about to say, but wouldn't that be solved if you just made the image files downloadable as a separate, free pack? I mean, even if they're in another format, it wouldn't be different than posting RTP edits on this forum, would it?

Then, people would be paying for the program, not for the resources.

@Deenos: don't beg, just don't.

@Celianna : I knew you would say that... but i'm indonesian how do i buy GCH?

Can you explain me then?

@Deenos: I'm sorry :/ but I guarantee it will be very affordable^^.

This is not endorsed in any way by our forums, so I have nothing to do with it. Contact Laugilus if you wish to buy it.

Oh god, I'm really pissed at myself for not pointing this out more specifically. I made a mistake when I told you this. Credit is to Lomastul of rpgmakervx.net, and I'm not sure if he allows it to be reposted. I'm sorry, I really should have double checked my facts/made it more clear.

ON TOPIC:

This looks really cool and useful, but I think I'll just stick to paint.net. Still, it looks like it'd really speed up the process for a lot of things.

@Cozzer: I really have no clue. I'd like to be sure so no one sues me

@Deenos: We will figure it out later, since GCH is not released yet. We'll find a workaround.

@Seeaka: Thx for the correction. But if speeds up the process, I don't get with you stay with same old paint.net ^^. At least try the beta version, it's free.

 

[Seeaka]

It's really just that I don't want to get stuck on something I eventually will have to pay for. Still, trying out the beta later today.

I wish it had some tile set feature for Vx and Ace style. Maybe a way to merge some of them ...(or maybe a splice feature?)

Even a built in template that lets you easily click and drag to create your own tileset (at least for add-ons), would have been great. Having a few extra pieces of add-on software though (such as this HU would be an excellent idea. Mayhap it also includes a race feature to also design various races, creatures, and monsters as well.

Well if you didn't sell the GCH for profit. Then there wouldn't be much of an issue about the RTP files.

How do you use the the pencil?

 

[Anime Girl]

how do you add more folders?

Hi,

Thank you for your comments. I apologize for the lack of news. The next version is still under development. I am actually trying to do a more general hub for the next version. This means in the next version, one will be able to create characters of any size (no more 3*4 grids for VX or 4*4 grids for XP characters.) GCH can now create character for any purpose, not only for RPG Maker. 

Don't worry, RPG Maker is still supported:

- Since you can make character of any size, you can still male characters for RPG Maker XP/VX.

- There are shortcuts to create new RPG Maker XP/VX characters quickly (ie without having to tell the grid size of the character).

- RTP items are still there.

This has led to a huge work. For instance, some parts of the UI are not relevant anymore. Some features have been added because they now fit... For instance the dialog to add items to the character has faced huge improvements. 

New item dialog.​

 ​

Don't mind the French sentences, it has not been translated yet. All that matters is that we can now search an item just by typing its name. Filters have been added so you can display only items of a particular type (PNG or GCH item types). You can even display items that match a particular grid size only. And this is only one new feature among all those I've been adding.

All of this to say that GCH is still under development, and keeps improving. Some emails have been sent to Enterbrain to solve those licence issues. I've had some exciting answers.

@AnimeGirl: the pencil is not available in beta. To add a folder: simply go to the folder (with windows explorer) 'elements_en' (or 'elements_fr' if you are using it in French). The folder must be in the same directory as Game Character Hub. And add your folder where you want. As Game Character Hub caches some items/folders for performance issues, you may need to restart GCH.

@amerk: Your idea has been noted. Tilesets have always been a feature people asked for. But since it requires a long time of development (Please note that I'm just a student, this is not my job. I work alone on my free time), it'll probably be in the next big release of GCH (ie not the next one).

Thank you again for your support.

Et voilà, as we say in French.

 

[Anime Girl]

So is the pencil going to be avalible in the full version?

 

[Laugilus]

Yes

 

[ShinGamix]

This is still one of the best things ever!!

I am so addicted to version 1 now!!

I tried using this program, but none of the buttons would work. Once I finally got the items window open, I couldn't even select the categories (or any of the other buttons on the window either). I even tried uninstalling and re-installing, and trying both the setup and zip files. I kept getting the same problem. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

 

[Laugilus]

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear you're going through some trouble. Can you please post some screenshots so I can see more precisely what could be the problem.

Some hints:

• The drawing options are disabled on purpose for the beta version, simply because they were not programmed back then. It's normal that you can't use them.
• You must open or create a new character in order to start using any button (even opening the item window).

Are the buttons disabled (displayed grey-scaled, and you can't click on them), or can you click but nothing happens?

What is your operating system?

Regards,

I'm using Windows 8. I did create a character, but I couldn't even use the buttons to do that. I had to press Ctrl+N. The buttons are not greyed out. I can click them, but they won't even depress. The weirdest part is, sometimes, one of the buttons works but after that, it stops again. I still can't choose any of the item categories.

I took a screenshot, but I can't figure out how to attach it.

Thanks for taking your time to help.

 

[Laugilus]

Thank you for your reply.

It's the first time I see this kind of problem. The only thing I can think of is Windows 8. The beta version was released before or approximately at the same time of Windows 8. So it does not support Windows 8. The next release which is coming soon will support it.

What happens if you right click on the .exe, click on Properties, and in the Compatibility tab, choose Windows 7? However when I try the same version on my Windows 8, it works fine...

PS: To post a picture, you must upload it on a server, ie you must find a website (such as www.imageshack.com) that will host your picture. Then here, click on the image button, and paste the link.

Alright, changing compatibility worked. Thanks for the help. Will there be a chance of changing the skin color in a later version? I have a green character in the game I'm trying to make.
