Ultimate RPGM Companion
A downloadable tool
Early Access Price!
Free yourself from decision paralysis with this Ultimate Companion app made specifically for RPG Maker MV and MZ!
Do you ever find yourself feeling indecisive about how to sequence your items, switches, variables, common events, etc. in the engine? What if you want to change their placement later on? RPG Maker runs on IDs, so everything from your items and skills to switches and variables. If you ever move or replace one, the engine won't automatically update all the references throughout your events. Moving things around is difficult, particularly after you've made a lot of progress!
For example...
Somewhere in your project, you might have a conditional that checks if actor #3 has equipped armor #14. But then later in your project as you've made more progress, you want to organize your armors by chapter or by type or by - well, whatever! You want armor #14 to move to armor #32 in the database. Normally you would have to find those conditionals (which is set to look for armor #14) and replace everything manually, to armor #32. Likewise, if you moved actor #3 to actor #12, you would have to do the same thing.
Sure, you can reserve 20 item slots or switch IDs or whatever, but then you find yourself limited to only 20, without the flexibility to change your organization method.
I always found this to be extremely stressful! I would be frozen in indecision!
You need an app to find occurrences. You need an app that re-organizes the database. You need an app that helps you refactor your project. The solution was once to download multiple apps that each do a different thing. Having all of these separate programs was annoying to me.
So I decided to make my own app that does everything! The Ultimate Companion!
Current Version:
This current version only supports ID scanning. It isn't very "Ultimate" right now. But many features are planned for the future! The current introductory price reflects this, and will be increased over time as more is added.
- Scan the entire engine for database items
- Actors
- Classes
- Skills
- Items
- Weapons
- Armors
- Enemies
- Troops
- States
- Common Events
- Variables
- Switches
- Finds IDs in hard-to-reach areas like movement routes, shops, and conditionals
- Occurrences are conveniently organized by location
- Sort occurrences to find exactly what you need (any column can be sorted by either number or alphabetically, asc and desc)
Next Version:
I am working on these features right now!
- More to search, such as Types (element, skill, etc.) and Maps (including Teleport)
- Re-indexing IDs with a drag-and-drop interface
- Saving a backup of your project and then re-importing with new ID occurrences (from re-indexing) across the entire project
Future Plans:
In no particular order:
- Move and re-assign IDs automatically (including plugin command support)
- Tag, comment, and group database entries
- Search and replace dialogue
- Mass-update assets
- Import data from CSV
- Custom searches (like <Plugin Notetag: x>)
A note about AI: I want to be completely transparent! Some of this code was added with the help of AI! The app itself is built in Tauri which uses Rust in the backend. I'm not entirely familiar with Rust, and I also needed some help doing things like scrubbing json files to find the correct ids, etc., so I turned to AI for that. I hope that doesn't turn you off of this little program, but I understand why it would!
