Hello, everyone! I was curious if anyone knows a way to add colors to the Character Generator.

For example, I want to give one of my characters white eyes, to indicate that they're blind, and I want it to show in the sprite as well, but the generator doesn't have a white color for eyes, or any rather light color, really. I realize I could just make the eyes white using an external art program, but I'd like to add it to the generator if possible to save time in case I make more characters with the same coloration. Is there a way?

Thanks in advance!

Find the generator folder where you installed RMMV for example since I use Windows 10 Professional I go to F:\Windows.old\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\RPG(depends on what type of RPG Maker you are using)\Generator There will be 2 folder's one for Face and another one for Mini (Mini is for the character itself) and then there will be 2 folders (inside those folders) that say Male/Female. For Sprites to add to the generator (since you want Eyes) you create a file for eyes and you name it Eyes# (Replace # with a number and it MUST be a 2 digit number for example: 01 02 03 04 05 etc.) and for Mini you do the same thing.

There's no easy way to add them to the generator due to limits.  You can, however, edit the gradients.png file found in the Generator's folder to adjust the colours, just be sure to keep a back up of the original file in case you want to bring those back.  I keep about 3 different gradients files and cycle them if I need to.

I, personally, only do this for face graphics.  For sprites I'll manually replace the colours with another program.

Here's a reference if you need to know which gradients affect what part of the character:

How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
So I was playing with filters and this looked interesting...

Versus the normal look...

Kind of gives a very different feel. :LZSexcite:
To whom ever person or persons who re-did the DS/DS+ asset packs for MV (as in, they are all 48x48, and not just x2 the pixel scale) .... THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!! XwwwwX
