RPG Maker Unite Custom Expansion Details

■ Two ways to modify and expand RPG Maker UniteCareers!

Method 1 – Using “Extensions”

In the RPG maker In the series, s have always been able to develop and use scripts known in the community as “plug-ins” to extend the engine’s functionality not available by default. Due to this, many s volunteer to develop plugins and generously share them with the community, and this is how it does it RPG maker The series has spawned many great titles, so far!

Likewise, in RPG Maker Unites can use “plugins” to improve and extend the engine. We changed the name because of how the internal processing works differently than in the past RPG maker titles, but the concept and usage are identical. However, please note that as always, we cannot provide official for the development or use of add-ons. Even this part we touched briefly Our ment On September 2, 2022.

—RPG Maker Unite’s Addon Manager UI. This feature allows s to turn on or off add-ons installed in the game as desired.

Method 2: Rewrite the source code through the Unity Editor

The second option – for which we cannot provide official – is modification RPG Maker UniteUnity Editor source code directly using Unity Editor. in a RPG Maker Unites can call up the Unity Editor interface at any time as needed. Through this, s can confirm and rewrite part of the source code as they see fit (note: except for some DLL files). This is especially useful for large scale mods! Although the source code is open for viewing in the Unity Editor, please abide by the End License Agreements which we will post later!

—s can open the Unity Editor from the RPG Maker Unite UI any time they need to.

—Both editors can be side by side, making edits while emphasizing each other at the same time.

■ Which method do you choose?

Both plugins and direct editing through Unity use the C# programming language. However, depending on the ’s knowledge level or goals, there are obvious reasons to prefer one over the other.

The biggest difference is whether s want to edit RPG Maker UniteThe source code of direct or not.

Plugins, by their nature, are not modified RPG Maker Unite, and therefore will not cause conflicts caused by source code changes. This is great for developing several plugins at once, independently. Just using the other add-ons is still as easy as always and won’t require any of your programming or Unity Editor knowledge either. Also, since the source code is not tampered with, whenever there is an official update of RPG Maker Unites can safely apply it too. (Note: Some add-ons may need some updates to be compatible with the latest updates.)

On the other hand, modifying the source code directly through the Unity Editor will give s an unprecedented amount of freedom. Naturally, this will require a fairly advanced level of programming skills and deep knowledge of how to edit Unity and RPG Maker Unite Works.
