Random Map Generation in RPG Maker MV & MZ
Random Map Generation in RPG Maker MV & MZ
In this tutorial, we build our first random dungeon by using the „Snippets“-technique. Snippets The idea is to pre-define Snippets which this plugin will randomly connect to create appealing dungeons to explore. A snippet is a fundamental base element of…
This plugin series does not persist generated maps. Instead, it uses a seedable PRNG. Every time you pass the same seed value to a command to generate a map, then the same map is generated again. We will use RPG…
If you want to use this plugin’s features of spawning assets on an ordinary (non-randomized) map, follow this tutorial. Create Map Create a custom Game Map. Transfer Player While transferring the player to this map, transfer him to the exact…
In this tutorial, we will build a world map! We will not use snippets. There’s a dedicated algorithm to generate such a map, and there are a lot of functions that we will use as well. Space Map Create a…
In this tutorial, we look at how you can create randomized Maps without defining Snippets. Step 1 – The Space Map Let’s create a Map and call it „Space Map“. Feel free to set BGM, encounters, or other settings for…
In this tutorial, we will build a cave. We will not use Snippets. This article explains to you how to define your dungeon’s overall design and how to individualize it by adding elements such as water, grass, dirt, boulders… Space…
This plugin series lets algorithms generate a skeleton first and then provides a set of functions to beautify it step-by-step to get a whole map. This so-called post-processing is independent of the chosen algorithm – in other words: you can…
In this article, we do a small Game Changer, a Maze within a Maze (Maze-ception), with the possibility to travel back to the Main Map. We will do secret underground ruins to explore beneath the Forest. In this example, the…
This tutorial requires you to use the Meta Maze and to let Exits spawn via Assets Map. When you want to visually enhance whether an exit leads to the next randomized map or actually lets the Player leave the dungeon,…
You can pick from these Layouts: Tower Given a height, the Plugin builds something tower-likely for you. The Player can move upwards and downwards. Grid Given a width and a height, the grid builds connections to every adjacent cell. Maze…
This add-on sets up a virtual maze for you and helps you build a more giant dungeon that has exits in all directions. Such mazes will be a massive game-changer in your game but be aware they can raise your…
In this tutorial we will transfer the Player out of the randomized area, but when he re-enters the Map, he will spawn at the exact position where he originally left the Map. For example, you can have a tent or…
This page shows and explains every JavaScript Call method. Algorithms The Algorithms are described here: Algorithms Maze Generator / $DungeonGenerator Entrance, Exit, and makeWayOut Choose if you want to draw Entrance and Exit, or if you want to have pathways…
When using a Meta Maze, the Plugin will handle Self-Switches automatically for you. The feature described in this article will memorize Self Switches, with the ability to manually set these Switches to false, e.g., when the Player successfully finishes the…
Inspired by the Game No Mans Sky, I’m working on methods to enable Randomly Generated Maps during Gameplay. This Plugin series for RPG Maker MV and MZ has been my greatest work ever since. There are multiple Plugins with different…
In this article I try to collect all common mistakes, errors, and suggestions to solve them. If you have trouble with my Plugins but checked your project and all the tutorials, please turn off all other (yes, all other) Plugins…
This series of articles is currently being revised. Come back soon!
Here you can find some Code Snippets to copy-paste into your project. If there are lines with a <– symbol in it, read the comment and then remove the arrow and the comment from your command. Mind adjusting variables! Classical…
This article needs to be revised. Today we build a road which goes straight from the south to the north. This Tutorial is best combined with (Not) Persist Maps. Region IDs Setup This function can be used instead of „place…
I haven’t come up with a better name yet. Outer Snippets are snippets to replace the blank area around the dungeon with a set of alternative snippets. There are usually used on field maps, like roads, canyon or a forest.…
In this topic, we handle scenarios in which you want some objects to be instantiated a specific number of times. This is useful when… You want to define more precisely how often loot chests, enemies, or points of interest should…
I recommend you to check out the Meta Maze first, as it already assists you a lot with this topic. If you want to set the RNG’s seed, you can do so by calling: If you want to use an…
This tutorial focuses on another algorithm to generate dungeons: Those to create dungeons with large areas. Create more Snippets We need some new snippets to draw those dungeons. Those to draw large areas, including edges, corners, inner corners Those to…
