Trying to add plugins.

[Luka Koka]

Hello, I've bought RPGMaker MV on Steam recently and I'm having a hard time trying to add plugins and adding other things because it seems like every place I go to, the people haven't bought it from steam.

I can't find the folder containing the RPGMaker MV so I can add the plugins, can anyone provide help to me?

Sorry if I sound incredibly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid.

The default is Documents/ Games / then you can see your project name in its own folder. You don't add plugins to the installation folder, that might be where you're getting confused.

Then what do I do exactly? Do I have to do something in order to get something extra to help me with the program?

With MV open, if you go to the Game menu > Open Folder, that will open the currently-loaded project's folder. For a plugin to be available to import into a project, it needs to be stored in that project's js/plugins sub-folder.

As for finding plugins that ship with MV, try right-clicking MV in your Steam Library, then choosing Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files. The plugins (as well as a few extra resources, mostly the modern/sci-fi stuff) can be found under the dlc folder there. As regards the Yanfly plugins (found in RPGMakerWeb_plugins) I'd strongly recommend you get the latest versions of any you want to use directly from http://yanfly.moe just in case.

Edit: oh, and after the plugins are in the project's plugins folder, you'll need to import them & set any parameters for them in the Plugin Manager (accessed via the Tools menu). Double-click an empty row, select the plugin from the dropdown, double-click any parameters on the right that you want to change. And save before playtesting. =)
