RPG Maker MV News

Hello Everyone,

We're happy to release at last the fixed version of v1.6.1
It should now be working correctly on all systems.

Also, it came to our attention that a incorrect version of People2 had gotten mixed up in recent versions. It has now been reversed to the original (correct) one.

If anyone still want to use the other version, we have added it to
dlc\BaseResource\img\characters

Cheers,

• Copy the files libs folder, "rpg_*.js" (e.x. rpg_core) files from NewData/js to your project js folder

Hi All,

Due to some currently unresolved problem in v1.6.0, the "default" build of RPG Maker MV will be switched to currently stable v1.5.2. If you are using it, (no beta selected) it will automatically update on:

Time : March 6th 2018 03H00 GMT

If you want to keep using v1.6.0
In the library / RPG Maker MV / properties / Beta,
you can select the v1.6.0 which will stay the same.

If you want to use only v1.5.2
You can already change to v1.5.2 as follow:
Library / RPG Maker MV / properties / Beta
Selecting v1.5.2 will let you make the change by yourselves.


As usual, please make sure to backup your projects, and update the scripts to whichever version you decide on using.

Sorry for the problems.
