For generator parts, maybe Youtuber Echo607 can help; here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_nPeKHy0sg
Tilesets...are comparatively fairly simple. I didn't find much other than this fairly short reply on the forums: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rpg-mv-how-to-create-own-tilesets-tutorial.47419/

Have you taken a look at the Tilesets tab in the database? The tricky bits ("page A" tiles) are labelled with stuff like "Animation" and "Walls" to give you an indication of what goes where. You can find detailed specifications in the help file: Help > Contents > Resource Specification. If in doubt, a little trial and error can generally sort things out! =)

[O_o]

thank you so much Caethyril !! will watch the video and play around with tile sets ^^

Ooh, and it could be called "Learning Resources" or "Beginner's Guide to MV" or something! =D

I haven't made a Steam guide before...don't know how complex it is. ^_^'

Point taken. xP

just going to ask here instead of making a new topic. is it possible to save the game in a format others can play? would that be the Deployment and are we allowed to freely share our games with friends?

Yes, File > Deployment should work. There are encryption options...I think it's OK to deploy projects without encryption so long as they don't include any DLC resources (you don't seem to own any MV DLC, so that shouldn't be an issue), but I'd probably encrypt it anyway. Then share away! =)

You can also share projects here on the Steam Workshop, but that method requires users to have RPG Maker MV installed to download and play your game. You can share on the Workshop via File > Steam Management. Enter a name and description, pick a thumbnail, choose a category etc from the settings on the right, then click Share on Workshop. Then later on you can use the Update button at the bottom to update the online version if you need to. (Update seems a little finicky, didn't show a progress bar or anything for me, but seemed to work given a few minutes.)

no DLC yet \o/ trying to figure things out still. I am working on adding more character creation options and tile sets.

Character creation options? Nice! If you're not already using it, this plugin may be of interest: http://sumrndm.site/character-creator/

Also, something I forgot to mention. When deploying, if you use the "exclude unused files" option, chances are it will exclude any resources used by plugins, too (as they're not being used in the editor). So (workarounds aside) if you're using a plugin that requires additional files to work, best not to use that option when deploying.

oh oh I saw that mod!! and I just meant uhm parts I guess for the generator? I have to swap bodies out for the beast guys and then the skeletons to dress them up. Is a process but fun! I was trying to find the advanced character editor thing.

[O_o]

Oh oh do you happen to know if you can use more then one core/engine? cause I love Yanfly battle engine and plug ins for that.. but also love some of the Victor Engine plug ins @_@

I think Yanfly and Victor core engines are incompatible, unfortunately, but you could always try them together and see what happens...

I'm not that familiar with the Victor Engine, but I'm pretty sure Yanfly's plugins are capable of replicating most (or all) effects possible in VE if you're willing to explore the "Lunatic Mode" options. As you can guess from the name, they can get pretty complex, but Yanfly's got a growing list of video tutorials called "Tips & Tricks" on using them to create a range of effects. Plus you can always ask for help! =)

What sort of effects from the Victor Engine were you looking at? Charging skills seems to be popular.

[O_o]

ahh I like their charge attack pluging on the Victor Engine and a few others like Dual Wield which I dont think Yanfly can do >.< also wanted the Enemy Skills so players can kinda be a blue mage and learn enemy attacks. Also wanted the skip battle log =p BUT it's not important I have those. Was just curious. Will choose Yanfly over all since they give good tutorials.

[Caethyril]

That Dual Wield plugin looks so nice, too... =,(

Oh, but the Blue Mage thing is possible with Yanfly's engine, see here!

And Yanfly's Battle Core allows quite a bit of customisation of the battle scene, including what types of message get displayed in the battle log! Link:
