Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the capabilities of the RPG Maker character generator. The character generator is a powerful tool that allows you to create custom faces and characters for your RPG game. We will learn how to access the generator, generate custom faces, manipulate and export face images, import images into the generator, create multiple characters on a single file, save and load character settings, customize NPCs, and customize the player character. Finally, we will test and implement our custom characters in our game.

Accessing the Character Generator

To access the RPG Maker character generator, simply click on the character generator icon. This will bring up a comprehensive assortment of different pieces and options that you can use to create your own characters.

Generating Custom Faces

Using the character generator, you can easily generate your own custom face. Simply choose the section or thing you want to manipulate, click on the icon or thing you wish to use, and make the desired changes. You can even adjust the color of certain features. Keep in mind that some colors are shared across multiple different pieces, so changing one color may affect others.

Manipulating and Exporting Face Images

Once you have created your amazing character, you can export each piece of the character individually. Click on the corresponding buttons to export the face image, character image, and battler image. Save each file separately for later use in your game.

Importing Images into the Generator

The character generator also allows you to import images into the generator. This means you can add your own custom images alongside the default generator images. By importing images into the generator, you can have multiple choices and create multiple characters on a single file. Simply import the image, export it again with the new images on top, and save it under the same file name.

Creating Multiple Characters on a Single File

If you want to have multiple characters on the same file, you can create another character using the randomize function or import the old face images. Export the new character with the old character on top of it to have multiple characters on a single file. This method allows you to overwrite the existing file and have all characters available in one place.

Saving and Loading Character Settings

To ensure that you don't lose all the customization you have done for a character, you can save the character settings. Click on "Save Settings" and save your settings to a separate folder. It is recommended to create a new folder specifically for generator saves. This way, you can easily load the character settings later by selecting the corresponding JSON file for the character.

Customizing NPCs with the Character Generator

You can also use the character generator to customize non-player characters (NPCs) in your game. To do this, go to the NPC image and select the file that corresponds to your custom character. This allows you to change the appearance of NPCs and give them a more personalized touch.

Customizing the Player Character

To customize the player character, go to the RPG Maker database and select the "Actors" section. Here, you can replace the default face, character, and battler images with your custom ones. Additionally, you can change the name, nickname, class, profile, and initial equipment of your player character. These customization options allow you to create a unique and personalized player character for your game.

Testing and Implementing Custom Characters

After customizing your characters, it's time to test and implement them in your game. Load your game and navigate to the menu to see your customized player character listed at the top. You will also find the customized NPCs in the game as per your changes. Test your game thoroughly to ensure that all custom characters appear correctly and function as intended.
