Thanks for the kind words! It means a lot. I've never seen the magnifying glass accessory before. It looks to only support two animations which I'm guessing are Idle and Walk. My guess is it's old and isn't supposed to be there since it's only in the Aseprite folder and doesn't exist as a png.

If you want to confirm with LimeZu tho I'd recommend joining LimeZus server and asking about it there.

Nope! You just need to re-download it to get the newest version!

Yoooooo! It's finally time. Modern Exteriors has been completed! Congrats LimeZu. You've worked damn hard to get here. 🎉

There is no MacOS version. Only Windows and Linux I'm afraid.

Not LimeZu but I can answer for him. He does not. LimeZu isn't a game developer and therefore doesn't have experience with any game engines or software like Tiled.

Almost at the end. Not far now

As long as you have the full paid version the license says you can use them in any commercial or non commercial project. So go for it!

I haven't used RPG Maker personally but I do know that engine requires sprites to be layed out in a particular way. The spritesheets generated in the Character Generator are not setup that way. I'd recommend looking for RPG Maker specific tutorials to help you out. Or join the LimeZu Community Server and someone there will likely be able to help you out.

Thanks for pointing that out! I've gone ahead and submitted a bug report in the Discord server.

I'm unsure what you mean. New animations are currently not planned to be added since LimeZu is currently working on Modern Exteriors. If you're asking if it's possible for you to create new animations then you're more then welcome to if you intend to use them for your own projects. 

The Character Generator is only in the full version of Modern Interiors. The character pieces in Modern Exteriors can be used in the Character Generator but you need to manually add them to the character pieces folder. There's a guide for how to do that in the Character Generator help page once you launch the tool.

Does this tool only work with the characters included or can you import your own character?

You'll have to first create the spritesheet using some sort of art software, LimeZu uses Aseprite (It's on Steam). Then you can import that spritesheet into the Character Generator if you wanted to use it there. There's a guide for how to import custom character pieces in the Character Generator help menu on page 10.

That is correct, the tools are in a separate spritesheet. This is because the tools animations extend past the 16x32 frame size. You'll have to layer the tool animation on top of the character in your game engine of choice.

We'd need more info to be able to help, I'd recommend joining the Discord and asking there. https://discord.com/invite/2wB3RuAESb 

Hey there Courtney! I understand the frustration. Sadly LimeZu didn't include names for each character piece meaning they're only numbered. In the future I'd love to add proper names to each one however I frankly don't have the time nor patience to do it myself.

I'm unsure how a preview would work here. Are you talking about showing the item on the character when you hover over the option in the dropdown? Or including icons of each item in the dropdown that show what they look like? Or something else?

The characters are meant to be sliced 16x32, some blank space is left at the top for accessories like hats which need more space. Hope this answers your question.

Oh I see, I didn't know that setting existed, thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed comment! I'm sure this'll help out many people.

Yup the characters from Modern Interiors are dedicated to work with Modern Interiors and Modern Exteriors.

I'm afraid not as of now. Though I'm open to adding support for RPG Maker in the future.

In case you or anyone else still wants the answer to this question. Find the installation directory of the Character Generator (Defautls to Program Files/Character Generator 2.0), from within there is another folder titled "Character Pieces", in there are all character pieces that the Character Generator uses. Simply add the character pieces from Modern Exteriors to the correct folder.

Note in order for a character piece to be loaded it **must** also have a 16x16 verison. So if you want to use the 32x32 or 48x48 versions you need to also include the 16x16 version for it to appear in the Character Generator.

Apologies I know I'm late to respond to this. RPG Maker requires sprites to be layed out in a specific way to work with the engine. I've never personally used RPG Maker so I'm not familiar with the exact requirements, sadly if you want to use characters from the Character Generator in RPG Maker you'll have to manually change how they're layed out.

In the future I may be able to make a tool/update the Character Generator to make this process automatic.

Just updated the Character Generator a few days ago to add support to export specific animations! Hope this helps.

I'm unsure what you mean by SV_Battler since I don't use RPG Maker. However I'm aware that RPG Maker requires sprites to be layed out a specific way to work with the engine. Sadly the Character Generator doesn't have support for this and you'll have to rearrange the characters sprites yourself.

Hey Dollarrain, I didn't make the characters, I only made the Character Generator. LimeZu is the one that made the art. Though he's not working on Modern Interiors anymore meaning no new animations will be added anytime soon. Though that could always change in the future. His current focus is Modern Exteriors.

I do not have a Patreon though thanks for asking!

Could you share the custom CSS used for this page? I really like it, mainly the new like button on comments.

Both the interior and exterior of the buildings are included in Modern Farm!

I'm so glad to hear you like the Farmer Generator!

It's been amazing to see this pack grow from it's early stages to a fully fledged asset. I'm so glad I was able to be a small part of it.

Check again, Modern Farm is live!

That's correct!

Gotcha, thanks for the reply!

Why don't you want us to download it? It's a bit hard to play in the browser since you can't enter fullscreen

This looks useful! I'd love to incorporate a button into the Character Generator that saves characters in a different format for use in RPG Maker however I don't know the specifications for how the spritesheet needs to be layed out.

Nothing like that currently exists however there will soon be an update allowing you to export specific animations instead of the entire spritesheet.

Just checked it out, it's obvious you've put a lot of effort into this tool, nicely done!

This sounds intriguing however the Github page doesn't appear to be public

This is not the place to be asking this.

Oh I see what you mean. When you said "A bit off" I thought you were talking about another animation that was already in the Character Generator.

That animation is indeed not in the Character Generator. I was only able to include so many animations to be preview-able due to UI space limitations so I chose the animations I thought were most useful. I also didn't include it because it required another object (The shopping cart) which added another layer of complexity to displaying the animation.
