Are RPGM games typically encrypted beyond the included "encryption" or do most just rawdog their code, plugins, etc.

- For a lot of newer games (MV/MZ), only the pictures are encrypted.
- If the game is MV/MZ and shipped as just an exe, you can usually crack it open with EnigmaVBUnpacker
- VXA games usually just need to decrypted with something like RPG All Decrypter, but won't have anything beyond that.

Hi guys.
I'm creating a mod for a famous RPGM-V game, and I have a problem to set the picture's position (X and Y).
Into the CommonEvents.js, the picture is set like this :

note : 280 and 660 are the values X and Y I need to set.

There are also many plugins :


If I change X and Y values, nothing change into the game..
Is someone can help me to understand please.. ?
Thx

Hey everyone,

I'm considering making an incest patch for an RPGM game. This means I would have to change some of the dialogue of the game. Can someone please tell me how I do that?

Depends largely on what RPG Maker and how you want to edit it.

1.
If you want to hard edit stuff or directly replace stuff, possibly with find&replace (not suggested), you can directly go through the *.json map files.
These can be found in the www/data folder and can be edited with any text editor. But since they also contain lots of other stuff, it's not easy or comfortable to track down the text passages. But if the game has clear words you can search for, this can be a quick way.

2.
The other way relies on having the relevant RPG Maker the game was made with. For most modern RPGMs that's either RPG Maker MV or MZ. In those cases you...
1. Create a new RPG Maker Project in the editor.
2. Copy the content of the original game/www folder into the new project you made. (You'll see the similar folders, like "img" etc.)
3. You may have to use a

You must be registered to see the links

to turn the images in the img folder into stuff the RPG Maker can read.
4. You jump into your newly made project that now has all the data from the game you want to edit.
5. You can now open the events on maps, go through the Show Text actions in them, and simply alter the text as you wish.
6. You can then get the changed files from the data folder and pack them into a patch players need to unpack.

3.
A third way may be to use some translator tool that gets you all the dialogue lines in a seperate script. But unlike that, you won't be able to change and test the changes as easily as in Method 2. I also haven't yet worked with one of those translate tools, so I can't give any instructions regarding that.

So there's no like one shot RPGM package that lets you run all games right? Best to install all the ones listed in the top post?

Nope. It depends on what RPG Maker the games you want to play were made with, and whether they used the RTP elements and whether they packaged them into the game or left them out.
Most modern RPG Maker games are made with MV or MZ, they don't need any. A lot of VX Ace games also don't need any, usually because they have the RTP inside the game files.

Usually you just start to launch the game - if you get an error for missing runtime package, you download and install that runtime package. If you wanna be save, you can, of course, just install all of them.
