Hi. I'm trying to use this plugin in MZ but it doesn't seem to load no matter what I do. I tried setting it to all the different options (F9, pg up, pg dwn, etc.) but none of them work. And when I playtest my game I get an error saying it failed to load the config.json file. And when I go to the uicustom folder, there is no config.json file there. I've tried deleting the folder so it creates a fresh setup but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong?

Okay, let's go through this step by step:

  1. First of all, can you confirm that you press the action key when you are in the game's main menu (where you see the commands "item", "skill", etc.) ?
  2. Have you tested it with all other plugins switched off?
  3. Does your game crash, or does it run and you see the "could not read config.json" in the dev console? This error message isn't necessarily a bad thing. The config file contains the settings you choose in the toolbox, so when you start it for the first time, it simply doesn't exist yet. Although the error message looks a bit strange, I, as the programmer, cannot prevent it from being written to the console due to JavaScript and Node.js.

Yep, that was it. I'm just a total moron and didn't open the menu first. Thanks for the help!
