A new update for Dynamic Pictures: Modifiers! tamschi.itch.io/dynamic-pict... The plugin has a web demo now, so give that a try if you're curious! #RPGMaker #RPGツクール #plugin #RMMV #RMMZ

Welcome to the demo for Dynamic Pictures 1.2.4!
This plugin supports both RPG Maker MV and RPG Maker MZ.

(Game icons for both RPG Maker MV and MZ are shown as Pictures.)

You can use any number of layers and also hide the base image. Rules can also toggle rules below them via tags, which makes for easier pose and equipment layer management.

(The MV Picture is wearing a hat the MZ Picture is overlaid with a transparent red circle.)

New since Ver. 1.2.4: Modifiers!

Modifiers can scale, skew, rotate and translate (move) Pictures. They can also change Opacity and Blend Mode.

(The Pictures are now heavily distorted by affine transformations. The MV Picture is transparent while the MZ picture is blended as "Multiply", appearing as a dark stencil on the background.)

Dynamic Pictures interacts with some of my other plugins:
In "Live Menu and Pause", it affects the Picture on the pause screen. In "R-Stick Mouse", it affects the cursor.
Both are enabled here. Press "P" and/or tilt ® to test!

(The Pictures are shown without distortion again.)

I just released an update to Dynamic Pictures: tamschi.itch.io/dynamic-pict... This fixes a typo ("not" to "note" 🙃) in the source code that prevented tag exclusions from working. Mea culpa. That slipped through while testing. #RPGMaker #RPGツクール #plugin #RMMV #RMMZ

New plugin release: Live Menu and Pause tamschi.itch.io/live-menu-an... This 2-in-1 plugin works great for any immersive casual or action-oriented RPG Maker MV or MZ games, as well as for games that have long video cutscenes. Visit the itch.io page for GIFs and 20% off during the first week.

Let the Map Move behind the Menu!
Pause at (nearly) Any Time, including Movies!

A dog and a horse as well as water can be seen clearly behind Harold the Hero's status screen. If Bluesky supported GIFs, they and the water would move.

Another new plugin for RPG Maker MV + MZ: Battle Command Descriptions Available for $3 during the first week at tamschi.itch.io/battle-comma... . This plugin enables the help window in battle also for party and actor commands, so that you can show contextual flavour text and hints to your players.

'Battle Command Descriptions - Display the Help Window with Custom Text for Fight/Escape/Attack/Guard/Item and All or Individual Skill Types'

Title and much smaller summary sit in monochrome black/grey above a colourful banderole made up of RPG Maker MV and MZ system icons that represent various battle commands and skill types, each above a speech bubble.

#RPGMaker #RPGツクール #plugin #RMMV #RMMZ

The settings screen for Battle Command Descriptions. It has parameters for 'Battle Command Descriptions', 'Compatibility tweaks?' and, nested beneath the latter, '(YEP BEC) Reduce clears?', as well as the start of the plugin's help text, which is available just about verbatim at the linked page.

An RPG Maker MV front battle screen showing a default Minotaur enemy with two axes in a pretty courtyard.

Of the four commands Attack, Magic, Guard and Item, Magic is highlighted. The help text reads 'You could use this space for flavour, or explain that (book icon)Magic requires (blue)MP.

An RPG Maker MZ + VisuStella MZ Battle Core side battle screen in default configuration. The party is fighting the default Birdman enemy in the MZ-style courtyard.

The 'Escape' command is highlighted. The help text reads: 'TS_Battle_Command_Descriptions works in both MV and MZ, and is compatible with Yanfly and VisuStella¹ battle cores.'

And annotation box was added to the image unobtrusively:
'¹ Shown here.

Note: Compatibility with VisuStella plugins is incidental, as I can't fix it easily if it breaks due to their source code obfuscation.
