View All Events as List

[Lunk]

Is there any way I can see a list of all of my events somewhere? I might not be able to remember the names of my events so it would be nice if I could just look at a complete list of all events I've made?

There's no in-editor feature for this. Tools > Event Searcher can help find events with a specific name, in case that helps!

The following script call will list the IDs, names, and positions of all events on the current map:

$gameMap.events().forEach(function(ev) {
  var txt = ev.eventId().toString().padZero(3);
  txt += ": " + ev.event().name;
  txt += " (" + ev.x + "," + ev.y + ")";
  console.info(txt);
});

The information will be displayed in the "console" window; press F8 during test-play to show the console. ^_^

Otherwise you'll need something more sophisticated, since by default only one map's data is loaded at a time...I believe it's possible to load map data in-game without actually going to the map, though I'm not sure how. o_o'

Maybe consider making a plugin request over on RMW?

Double click on a tile and go to Set Movement Route. On the left top corner is an input box with ''Player''. Click on it and it shows you a list of all events you created at your current map.
Or go to your gamefolder location -> data. There are your maps saved. Open them (Notepad++ recommended for better view) and you can see your events listed up.

That seems to be the solution I was looking for. I have Visual Studio Code so I'll use that. Would you perhaps know any other useful information I might find looking through other stuff in the game folder that I could access with an external text editor?
I've heard you can make a map of greater size than the limit by editing a json, so while that specifically is has it's caveats I would be interested to hear what else can be easily changed that way. I could potentially view or edit those files from my phone on the living room couch.

Thank you very much for the tips. I can't wait to try out the console. And I will post a plugin request.

Actually you can edit every file there. Especially the rpg_... files in js folder. But it's up to you what you can do there. Some changes crash the game some help making the perfect game.
For example: I edited the rpg_scenes file so that some windows don't close at battlescreen.

Okay cool I'll take a look :) Thank you

Good catch with the move route event list @Grendgall! =D

Just to mention, it's usually a better idea to write a plugin with the necessary overrides rather than edit the base code directly. It makes it easier to track/share/attribute edits, receive external support, "turn off" edits if they break the game, retain changes if a third-party plugin overwrites yours, etc. =)
