RPG Maker MV News

Hi Everyone,

Japanese version of RPG Maker MV had to be updated with the closing of a connected service (Opengame creators) to version 1.6.2.

To match this, the English version number was updated, but there is no actual code change beyond that.

Cheers

・Fix to the error happening when calling Test from event command.

MenuSubMember.js
Ver1.2.2
・Add a feature to show followers on map

TinyGetInfoWnd.js
Ver1.1.1
・Change to let set up different voice for each item type.

AltMenuScreen3.js

Also, the french translation was greatly enhanced by the same team who made the french translation for RPG Maker VX Ace.

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,

If you are using steam and don't want automatic updates, change your steam setting for updates to to manual instead of automatic.



We would like to remind everyone to make sure to do the following steps before updating to ensure that when the update happens so your changes won’t be overwritten:

• Make a backup of your project.

Should any error occur with your project in 1.6.1 Make sure to downgrade your RPG Maker MV and use the backup version. DO NOT OPEN your 1.5.2 below project with RPG Maker MV 1.6.1 if you have no backups!

Now for the update process.

• Backup your game! This is important!
  
• Make a backup of your Generator folder if you edited it.

Create a new project or go to the NewData folder in your RPG Maker MV root (where MV is installed) folder. Copy the following items and replace the ones in your existing project:

• Copy the file "index.html" and "package.json" from NewData to your project
  
• Copy the files libs folder, "rpg_*.js" (e.x. rpg_core) files from NewData/js to your project js folder
  
• Do not replace your plugins.js !
  
• Done!

If RPG MAKER MV 1.6.1 is not working for you, you can downgrade anytime through the Betas Tab in Properties.
