September 13, 2020 - Update #4


 

Hello, RPG Makers!

We have updated our Sample Game Project with the latest versions of the various plugins included!

If you would like to view the changelog for all our scripts , you can view it here.

We plan to make updates a routine on Sundays. This way, you don't have to stay completely on top of the wiki scouring for updates. There is no set time for when the updates occur, they just will, and there will be an announcement for them.

Not every week will have an update, because if one isn't needed, one won't be made. Updates will be generally used for bug fix(es) and/or feature implementations.

Sample Project

✼ Updated RPG Maker MZ Core Scripts to v1.0.2

✼Core Engine Version 1.04

✼ Documentation Update!

  • Added new documentation for the "Title Command List" and Title Picture Buttons" plugin parameters. They now have a dedicated section each.

✼ Feature Updates:

  • Moved the "Title Command List" and "Title Picture Buttons" parameters from the Menu Layout > Title settings. They were far too hidden away and users had a hard time finding them. Update made by Yanfly.
    • Users who have customized these settings before will need to readjust them again. We apologize for the inconvenience.
