RPG Maker Forums
Hi!
I would like to request a little program that raises the common event IDs referred to from other places (other common events and maps).
The .json files in the data folder can be read with a text editor, and I found out what the event command for calling a common event looks like:
"{"code":117,"indent":0,"parameters":[x]}"With x being the ID of the common event called.
Now every so often you want to move common events in the database. The most common scenario for me is that I want to insert a common event, thus having to move all following common events down by a step.
Unfortunately, as you all know, RPG Maker MV does not change the references of the common events that were moved. So if I move down common event 10 to position 11, other events still falsely want to call 10. The solution to this is to go through all your other events and manually change which common event is called.
That is, of course, not a real solution. It takes a lot of time, and you may even miss some instances where a common event is called, resulting in bugs.
Therefore, I would like to request a program that does this for me. I wrote some pseudo code to explain what I would like to do. I would like to put the program into the "data" folder, and when I click it, it runs something like this:
User-Input: $min = ? // Number of the first common event that is moved.User-Input: $max = ? // Number of the second-to-last common event.cycle { search all .json files in directory for this: "{"code":117,"indent":0,"parameters":[$max]}" for each match { $new = $max + 1; replace matched text with this: "{"code":117,"indent":0,"parameters":[$new]}"; } $max = $max - 1; if ($max == $min) { break; }}end;I hope this is kind of understandable.
Does anyone here feel up to this task that could potentially save hours of frustration?

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
