RPG Maker MV 1.4.0 Update

[duende23]

I am interested in the mobile development of RPG Maker MV and i hope that the code RPG Maker MV OSS 1.1 Changelog will stable and merged soon. and games can be create soon with rpg maker mv. Cheer up for them

Where is the "Tutorial" supposed to be? I just installed RPG Maker MV 1.4.0 on Linux (through Steam) and Help > About shows version 1.4.0, but there is no "Tutorial" entry anywhere. The Help menu has just two entries: "Contents", "About..."
I'm not really needing a Tutorial, I was just curious and wanted to take a look

The tutorial should be a third option in the help menu, it is that way in my editor under Windows.
But the original post specifically stated that the tutorial is still experimental, so probably not all bugs ironed out here...

 

[orlando]

@Andar it's definitely missing on Linux then, for whatever reason.

Question: Is MV for Linux only for x64? Using it on Steam x86 (32bit) and it's crashing upon startup with the "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" error. Laptop is still using a 32bit CPU and wanted to test out how well the editor works in Linux.

 

[orlando]

@djDarkX inspecting the editor binary I get "ELF 64-bit LSB executable", so unless there are two different versions shipped depending on what type of PC you have it appears to be compiled for x64.

Testing to see if maybe it's just that I was using Fedora instead of a Debian-based distro, so I guess we'll find out soon, haha. Thanks for the info, though.

 

[GumpOtaku]

So far I used Ubuntu and it works. Linux Mint (an Ubuntu based distro) gave me no luck, even with the version of Steam made for Ubuntu. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

[orlando]

@GumpOtaku we would need more information than what you gave us. What happens when you try to launch it? You can go to the program directory in a terminal (it's "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/RPG Maker MV" for me) and then run it in the terminal with this command to see if you get any error messages:

./RPG\ Maker\ MV.sh

 

[djDarkX]

Well, I think it is that it's made for x64, which I didn't think my laptop had an x64 CPU but I was wrong, so gonna install an x64 version of Fedora instead and check it out. Sorry for my apparent derpiness.

EDIT:
Yep, that's what it was. You were correct @orlando, the client was made for x64 systems. Good thing my CPU was capable, but I didn't think it was. Either way, installed Steam on Fedora 25 Cinnamon, installed Steam and then MV and it worked like a charm. Love it!

 

[GumpOtaku]

@orlando I thank you for the tip, however I reinstalled Linux Mint - this time the 64 bit and as expected it worked. I spent two days trying to make it work - days that should have spend on my never to be finished game. Arrrgh!

Hello guys!
Rezon quastion^^
If I make game on linux...can this game work on windows or another oS?

 

[djDarkX]

The Linux editor still has the same options for export as the Windows version. I haven't tested it yet, but I assume it would work. As for mobile, pretty sure that remains the same as before, so you'd still need to pack them up properly for use on Android or iOS.

Well... I WAS excited at the prospects of a Linux port... but now I could give two poops about it...
Seriously, I can't stand using Steam just to run RPG Maker..
I rather run it stand alone in Linux.
Last I checked Linux is not quite as closed off as Mac is.. so forcing folks to use steam to get it is in my opinion.. rather freaking ridiculous.
I been spending several days trying to figure out how to run it in Linux.. just to realize the Linux version is steam only...
Yeah but no thanks.. lemme know when that changes.. pretty please?

 

[Lecode]

Any official information about the tools menu ? Can scripters make their own tools ?

 

[MikePjr]

From what i understand...
The tools are basically for like.. add-ons that you buy for the actually maker it's self.
Official like.. ACTUAL plugins.. as they seem like they kinda effect the editor it's self or could.. but maybe won't?
I dunno.. i just know so far it's like add-ons for the editor sorta.

 

[Lecode]

Yeah we know that but the question is can anybody make one or is it just for official dlc release.

 

[MikePjr]

Did you miss the part where i said OFFICIAL?
Meaning by them... i could be wrong.. but that's the gist i am getting from them.

 

[wolfx241]

I was gifted RPG maker MV and its not starting at all.. why isnt it working? ive uninstalled and reinstalled it, i put it as an exception on my anti virus.. and rebooting my pc so many times...

 

[Sharm]

We'll need more information than that to help. Could you please start a new thread describing exactly what the problem is? I think the support section for MV is the right place, but I'm not positive so it may end up getting moved, but in here certainly isn't it.
