LunaTechs MV/MZ Plugins & Tools
This is the official LunaTechs plugin and tools thread. You can expect to find links to a variety of our plugins and tools that we'll be creating for both MV and MZ using our custom tooling. You can expect updates from us every Wednesday regarding new plugins and tools that we're working on for the RPGMakerMV and MZ community.
We're a group of plugin developers that have come together to create better plugins that work across both MV and MZ for developers. We love the community and because of that, one of our missions is to provide the community with a large selection of free MIT Open Source plugins as a majority of our contribution back to the community. We're taking the approach of being both a user and a plugin developer as we use these plugins to create our own games.
This is just the tip of the iceberg and we have much more to show later.

Tools
LunaLite
LunaSense takes advantage of the above documentation for both RPGMakerMV and MZ, to create IntelliSense and autocompletion when creating plugins in RPGMakerMV/MZ. This documentation includes Pixi documentation along with the MV/MZ documentation. We wanted to provide this to the community to make creating plugins a bit easier. For those who write JavaScript, it'll help you write more efficiently. For those who want to use Typescript, this can be a starting point for creating your own RPGMaker plugins using TypeScript.

LunaTea
LunaTea is a project developed in the Haxe programming language that we use personally for creating many of our cross-platform plugins. It is the base that we use to create the documentation for LunaLite(Typescript documentation for RPGMakerMV/MZ); it is also what we use to create LunaSense(IntelliSense for RPGMakerMV/MZ). This allows us to write plugins that target both platforms with a large set of features such as:
- Full access to the Haxe Standard Library
- Easily add your contact information through the attribution text
- Change your build process for each and every plugin you create
- Type inference and code completion while creating your plugins
- Compile-time checks to prevent null errors in your code
- Dead Code Elimination
- Add Prepend JS libraries to your code as part of a plugin
- Create plugins in parts via separate Haxe files
- No longer deal with the monolithic plugin file
- Generate build dates for your plugins
- Enhancements for classes and basic types through static extensions and abstracts
- Bundle Documentation With Code
- File watching; copies files to the game's js directory
- Automatic formatting of the file on save
- Backward compatible with MV through conditional compilation
- and much more!
If you'd like to learn more comment down below! We actually have a base project to make getting started easy and an even better project in the works!
Stay tuned for more, during our Wednesday Tea Time!
If you have any questions, please comment down below and we'll add a FAQ Section to this post.
