Generator Body Change Batch File
This is a Windows based BATCH file script, NOT a javascript plugin.
This is a Windows based BATCH file script, NOT a javascript plugin.
NEW Version 1.2
The batch file now has a limited GUI to control your installed body types. The instructions are similar, but now collected up into two main batch files. (Zip is attached at the bottom of the post.)
Version: 1.1
This addresses the issue of manually copying the body files around in the generator specifically for the "Beastmen Bodies," although it could be tweaked to handle a little more at a later time. Consider this a "beta" and subject to change (because it will get a few updates at least).
Make backups of everything before trying this script, also this was written on Windows-10, and should work down to Windows7.
Body Changer CMD (batch file)
Version: 1.1
Basic instructions:
---IMPORTANT---
BACK IT ALL UP NOW!
IF you are unsure back it up.
IF you ARE sure, zip the backup, and do it again!
a) Copy all of your body types into the type folders (human, leo, lizardman, etc.)
Example: backup copy the original SV_body_p01.png to the human/ folder
b) No second copy required, just make sure you have the right images in the base
body-type folder!
**note** the script requires the second copy to allow YOU to see what is in the
generator's subfolders just by looking. This is on purpose. This serves
the secondary purpose of allowing you to manually fix any copies that
may go wrong. And. Backups.
c) Copy each of the top level folders from this package into your "generator"
folder. So it should have a human, leo, werewolf direcory in the generator folder.
d) Click the batch file (the .cmd file) in the bodytype folder (human, etc), follow
any on screen prompts.
d-1. run the generator
d-2. win
Final note: You do not have to close RPG Maker MV to have changes take affect,
but you DO have to close the GENERATOR!

Feel free to use and abuse this one, it doesn't even need credits (I mean, really, it's just a batch script to move files around.) Note: this archive has NO IMAGES, the ones described are from the Beastman pack - available from the RMW store!
To Do:
- Reduce the number of file copy commands to get rid of the extra copy at the base of the Generator folder. (depends on user feedback)
- Better / More descriptive text from the console window
- Support for Community Developed Bodies? (depends on user feedback)
Just a quick note since Heroine Generator 3 put the female body parts at the base of the generator folder. Since this is a bit different than just downloading and extracting the files from RMW, I thought I would quickly go through the recovery method for the Steam version.
This will provide you with a "vanilla" generator folder with the heroine3 body files at the base of the new generator folder, and the default male/female bodies within the directory tree. Copy any files you need from the new generator directory back to your working directory. Rename the new "generator" folder to something like "A-Generator-Default" or something meaningful to you, and rename your previous working directory back to "Generator."
Also this is a good way to make sure you always have a working generator to fall back on. Even if your Generator works perfectly, having a "clean" generator folder is nice to have!
- Rename the Generator folder something else, like "00-Generator-Original" (the double zero's will put it at the top of the file list in most cases)
- Close any instances of MV
- From Steam, right click on MV to bring up the context menu
- Select "Properties"
- From the properties window that appears, find the tab at the top "Local Files," and click that
- Press the "Verify Integrity of Application Files..." button
- Allow Steam to download the updates

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.
