Colorful, diverse animations to get your game going! · By
How are you trying to set them up? There are several different ways to use Effekseer, although these animations specifically were designed with RPG Maker in mind. Are you trying to open them on RPG Maker MZ? Or Effekseer itself?
In order to use these on RPG Maker MZ, you need to add the respective animation folder (either Essentials or Astrology) inside your "effects" folder. You should then be able to access and load the folder and its contents easily in the editor. In case that doesn't work, please make sure that you're using the latest version of RPG Maker MZ, as some of the older versions are incompatible with newer Effekseer animations. In case you're trying to open these animations inside Effekseer itself, likewise make sure you're using a recent version of the program.
Thank you!
Ah, okay: Literally EVERY other pack of Effekseer animations I've ever used for MZ tells me to drag the individual animation files into the Effects folder, which is what I did at first... I still don't understand why your animations don't work using that method because all the others do, but after I simply copied the entire folder instead of just the files, it worked instantly. Thanks!
Effekseer needs proper filepathing to work, and that means the animation files need to have the same relative position to the texture files.
Since a few updates ago, RPG Maker MZ has allowed subfolders inside any asset folders on RPG Maker. As subfolders make projects tidier I decided to implement them -- by dragging the whole folder instead of just dumping its contents on the Effects folder, you can have your animations separated in tidy self-contained packages. Makes updating, erasing or adding new content much easier! But yeah, it's a bit different from other packs. I'm glad it worked out! Thank you!
