Hey, the best way is the Discord channel : https://discord.gg/BjeFpWGTC

Let me know if you prefer something else 

Hi!

yes,  Lua is completely optional. If you want to create a typical Diablo style game you definitely don’t need any custom Lua scripts.

You can still use the builtin „block system“ to create custom logic but that is also completely optional.

Regarding artists : the engine supports any sprite sheets m, if you use the Rog Tools naming scheme these will automatically load.

I also added support for Engvee sprite sheets.

If there are other artists with fitting content I could look into adding first class support for these too but as a fallback you can always use sprite sheets with the correct naming.

yeah I still work on it continuously 😀

Currently I‘m polishing the Character Editor, will be finished with that soon.

i‘m glad you like it!

thanks!

Currently not or only via Lua but adding Steam support is something I can look into to support it directly in the tool in the future.

In the future I want to do that but it’s not planned right now.

Some users run it via Wine currently as far as I know.

Hmm, I think the problem is that some models have a "bust" image and other have multiple "bust_x" images. When you select a model that doesn't contain the animation you had selected previously you need to select the correct one again in the animation tab.

Thanks a lot, I‘ll look into it

great that you figured it out! Could you maybe send me a link to such a pack ? I will try to also support this format then 

Could you post a screenshot and specifiy which "new pieces" you mean ? Maybe also upload the .json file of the character, then I can better look into it.

alternatively you can use the itch io app : https://itch.io/app

it also makes it easy to update 

If you are logged in you should see a download button, do you see that ?

cool! You are also welcome to join the Discord if you didn’t already : https://discord.gg/ZCgqrve9

cool! If you try to play videos make sure to check https://nightmare82.github.io/VideoPlayback.html 

I really need to do more marketing(or any 😀)

you can use the software for commercial games, I will check the licensing, that sounds wrong

I just published a new version which includes video support

no, currently it only works on Windows, sorry

Hi!

Currently it only works on Windows, sorry

I started to implement video playback yesterday and it looks as if it should be ready very soon 

Hi and thanks for the feedback!

I will look into adding video playback support very soon so it should hopefully be back in a few weeks if nothing goes wrong.

The engine is written in C++, if you are interested you can send me a private message(Via Discord for example) and I could also share the source code with you.

Lua is the scripting language of the engine. It is optional, all core features should work without having to use it but it can be used to extend the game.

Thanks!

great! You are welcome!

I published a new version that should fix your issue. Please delete the UserSettings_RpgTools.json file if it exists and then start the new version of the tool

But I will deploy a version that should fix the issue

in the UserSettings_RogTools.json the interface scale is stored when you quit the tool, I can send you a version with a default scale if needed, alternatively you can edit it in a text editor and change the scale to 1

sorry for that. You can go to File->Preferences to change the UI scale

Hi!

Yes, it supports dialogs and quests, items, variables etc.

I never saw/heard that before, which AV is it and does it mention any details ?

It should be safe, yes, it does nothing suspicious

Hello! In the past I had video support but I had to remove it for now due to an engine rework but I definitely want to add that again, then you can use it for cutscenes etc.

Thanks, I‘m glad you like it!

You can use it as a tool with any engine or create a full game with it. I‘m working continuously on it and also incorporate feedback from users.

It works best for games like Diablo 1/2 or Baldurs Gate 1/2 and currently it only supports Windows games.

The quads/isometric display is now fixed too. Thanks again for the report, I didn't notice it.

Thanks for the report! I fixed the issue you described in the Level Editor in the most recent version.

I will investgate the Quad draw issue at next.

sorry for that, it doesn’t behave like that on my PC.

You can revert to an old version via itch.io app but I will also look into that

hi!

yes, you can use them in any project. They are from PVGames but he allowed me to embed them in the tool and they aren’t bound to games made with rpg tools.

you can send it to Martin_Mais(at)web(dot)de

sorry for that, could you please send me the file then I could look into it. Did it crash at startup or what did you do before the crash ?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I created an issue here : https://gitlab.com/Nightmare_82/charactercreator/-/issues/463

I will look into it soon.

yeah I know what you mean ^^
try to focus on one small game first maybe but it’s harder than it sounds ^^

Cool 😀

I thinks no one can use all the packs in the bundle 😀

But there are so many high value packs in it, I would just check if the ones you would use are worth it for you

yes, you can use custom assets and change the rules, add spells, items etc.

There are some tutorials here :
