itch.io

thanks for the suggestion!

That’s a great idea for sure, maybe I will look into something like that in the future but for now I‘ll focus on the core features first.(adding more action rpg features is planned for sure, what are you missing there ?)

But an extended pack with more PVGames assets builtin is definitely an option.

The tool supports all PVGames assets, he has tons of assets here and on Patreon which are automatically imported if you add an image folder which contains these folders(just make sure to keep the structure of the character folder as it is so the tool can find them)

let me know if you have any questions

no problem! Oh and you are talking about static images they should work directly (as long as they are png images), just add the root folder to the tool which contains them)in any sub directory)

it should work when you create sprite sheets with this naming scheme : https://nightmare82.github.io/CustomModels.html

Hi Lars,

You can get tons of tiles on the Patreon page of PVGames, the tool will then display them automatically.

You can also use your own images with the „_Tile“ suffix(eg „Wood_Tile.png“) check this guide for more information: https://nightmare82.github.io/LevelEditor.html

About the object layer : by default it only displays the first 200 entries but you can change that by setting the „max objects“ in the options, you can also filter by directory.

let me know if you have any questions,

Martin

ok, great, have fun with the tool and let me know if you need any support.

The current version is similar to baldurs Gate 1/2 where movement is in real-time and combat is round based but I‘m planning to also support fully round based games

Hi! I’m glad you like it. Yes, you can configure it to have round based combat, an older version of it is shown here : 

it’s a different standalone version, the other one is free with a subset of this content. To make it easy for users I still included the tool here even if the tool itself is the same(but not the demo project which is part of it)

wow, thanks a lot!

Very nice pack, that was an instant buy :-)

One question : Is there a Discord icon or are you planning to add one ?

No problem 😀 I hope it worked for you ?

oh. I need to update the post . The files are now in single download, when you create  new project with the default template you should have access to all of them.

You can find them in the project/assets folder

you can also check https://nightmare82.github.io/ for documentation or my YouTube tutorial playlist(see links in this project)

Via main menu „file -> add image folder“ you can add folders that contain png files, it will add the folder and all its children to the library.

Afterwards you can place them in the level editor when you select an object layer.

you are also welcome to join the Discord server for easier communication: https://discord.gg/27GtR8Su

ok, great, thanks for the details!

the dll is only used to create crash dumps(a file which helps me to see why the application crashed)

very cool! Did you use any special settings ? If you want you could also share it in my discord channel, there are some mac users who might be interested : https://discord.gg/wq2mkZZT

That’s great news! Sorry for taking so long, these errors are hard to track down. This dll should be part of windows but in some cases it isn’t, I need to check how to handle that but if renaming fixed it you shouldn’t encounter problems related to that

that’s great, thanks for the information!

OK, one other thing which was a problem for a different user : Try to rename the file dbghelp.dll to anything else (e.g. _dbghelp.dll) and try again

I did some research but it's complicated... One potential solution is to check if installing this update fixes it : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-wind...

and just to double check : You installed ALL of these still supported x86/x64 versions ? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msv...

I will try to figure out how to fix that

Thanks a lot. So these two DLLs use the 32 bit version on your machine for some reason:
API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL
API-MS-WIN-DOWNLEVEL-KERNEL32-L2-1-0.DLL

I need to figure out why, if you want you can also check on your side if something is wrong with these.

thanks a lot! Could you maybe save the result in the tool(via main menu) and attach it ? Sorry, I should have said that before

Since I don't have a machine where it doesn't work it's hard to track down the cause of it. If you want to help me you could download and execute Microsofts Dependency Walker : http://www.dependencywalker.com/ (Launch it, then click on "Open" in the main menu and choose RpgTools.exe and wait until it is done, afterwards start profiling via main menu until the application has started. This should hopefully output information about the DLL(s) that cause problems)

you can try to install the visual C++ runtime versions from this page : (all versions that are still supported) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022

One thing you could try is : Check if you have these Windows 7 security upgrades : https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4507456

I found it after discovering this blog post : https://www.georgenischal.com/blog/api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0-dll-erro... You can check Option 1 there for more details and an alternative solution

Do you have a 64 bit or 32 bit Windows version ? The current tool version only supports 64 bit

sorry for that, I will look into it

the tool doesn’t contain textures besides one ground texture. You need to add image folders with assets or use the content package which contains a lot of assets and a template project : https://nightmare-82.itch.io/rpg-tools-content-package

Did you choose „new project“ and choose the example project as a template ?

In case anyone else encounters this issue(but so far it was only reported once) : Switching to windowed fullscreen mode via alt enter seems to solve that issue

hello! No I never heard about this issue, you can join https://discord.gg/ctHuHUZy for easier communication

Thanks! Do you use Rpg Tools from this page or from the Humble Bundle package ? If you want you can join my discord : https://discord.gg/gb49J9zm for an easier way to chat quickly/solve your issue.

If not : Could you send me the crashlog ? Does it crash directly after opening the example project ?

Thanks a lot! If you want you can join  my discord channel : https://discord.gg/GJEeeQv3Sp

I found an article which offers a couple of potential fixes to the problem : https://www.pcerror-fix.com/epic-games-launcher-api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32

Do you use windows 7 ?

You can try to add an exception for the tool

That's weird, the tool doesn't use the registry as far as I know(Maybe a library I use but I'm not aware of that) but I can ensure you the tool does nothing suspicious.

thanks, glad you like it! There is this guide : https://gitlab.com/Nightmare_82/charactercreator it’s a bit outdated but most of it is still valid, also you are more than welcome to join the discord channel where people can quickly get help(you can find the link on this page)
