[@LvLUpDesign]

Congratulations on getting the video done! You did an awesome job explaining it!

[@teasjams6895]

Thank you! It's a complicated subject, this one intimidated me! :D

[@LvLUpDesign]

@@teasjams6895 Yeah, I can understand why Drifty was happy you volunteered for it!

[@youcarryoats1774]

Absolutely what I needed today, thanks so much for the tutorial it's super easy to follow!

[@maestro9615]

[@DoubleXP76]

Awesome I so needed this! As I bought the MZ Bundle S!

[@D0G5Coolpat11]

thank you this worked perfectly. i needed an accessory only females had for a male character, the woven headband thing(?) accessory 2 slot 2.

[@Jygerthe2nd]

Thanks. Couldn't figure out where the heck the generator parts were kept on my computer. lol

[@d.sauron]

Aww thank you so much, for your help!

[@SongoftheLute]

Sending you all lots of love and hope all is well.

[@DriftyG]

Thanks SotL.

[@CaptainNow2]

Thanks for this! Liked and subbed. I just downloaded MV today and am very excited about what I can make with it. I am curious, is there a way to create a whole new tab? Like 'Orc' or 'Reptile'? That way I could create new races. Many thanks!

[@belzuwu713]

Thanks! you helped a lot, i was wondering why my new edit wasn't working ^^; turns out i missed the last step

[@KevinCoisy]

Thanks for the video, but I feel I'll have to listen to it a few time to get the gist of it... We need to be in your mind to understand it, you're taking some shortcut (or maybe you're weren't sure how to explain it) here and there (for example that c thingy). I'm still thanking you, this is the most helpful material on the matter I could find.

[@Shadowbard379]

It’s less about it being hard as opposed to mind numbingly tedious. I bought a dlc pack and everything is named starting with p01 so I have to go through and change every single number on all 2k+ items 😢

[@noahmartin6747]

Is there really no other way than to rename all DLC items? There's no way to streamline? You have to go manually for each one of them?

[@Arcanua]

Quick question then as this is a tiny bit easier then MV purely thanks to the way naming works, but how would you go about this with gradients. MZ marketed having the feature and if you try in MV it super breaks and more or less doesn't let you do it in the generator itself. You can replace the gradient entirely but not add to it...which is what I would like to do in particular. I want extras on top of the defaults not to replace the file entirely.

[@dd7max1]

Changing(Renaming) 4 different files just for one hair style...... what if we have many of them?

[@DriftyG]

You could use the F2 hotkey to speed up the process.

[@victoriar.5009]

I've got a question: How is it possible to add colours to MZ? On the Website of RPG Maker MZ they write, it is possible, but I can't find ANY tutorial, describing it. This one here comes really close, because it shows where to find the files the colours are saved in. Do some of you Driftwood Gaming people know how to add colours? That is a tutorial I miss. I know, that there's the software 'Game Character Hub', an I downloaded it to try, but I haven't fully understood it yet. And I would prefer a way without it, but... :_( ...But thank you for your great videos, Driftwood Gaming, they helped me a lot! :D

[@beewo6307]

Good stuff, just what I needed. Found a generator folder and was like, now what exactly is this and how do I install it? Well now that is fixed^^

[@Linkskyfyre]

I noticed I really liked your Character generator options you have. Where did you get those packs? I would like to purchase them. And where does one get them from the "community"? I am new. Thanks!

[@DriftyG]

These are the default MZ ones you see in the video, pretty sure. Some of them may be from the Trinity pack, and there may be some for sell on the Degica Shop.

[@Linkskyfyre]

@@DriftyG Likely the latter because I counted mine and they don't nearly go as high in number by default. Thanks.

[@Lodreus]

Is it possible to import MV generator parts to MZ? I have a ZIP file containing clothes but the TVD files are different from the ones in MZ. For example, a PNG hat contains duplicates of itself positioned from left, middle and right, but in MZ it's duplicated but each one is in different positions. Does that mean I won't be able to use this ZIP because the TVD is different to MZ?

[@ppom]

I'm not sure what to do. I had accessories in my DLC tab, that when I added them to my Generator folder, already lined up with the correct numbers. However they're not showing up in my Genrator. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm using MV but I'm pretty sure the process should be the same.

[@AssassinsRush1]

And what do you do with pieces in the body folder from a DLC? Where do you put those?

[@dembibroz7786]

Does this work for armor as well I'm trying to add armor from mv trinity and all I need to do is change the number

[@jameswatson7246]

That was hard. So i can't just copy and paste in anyway?

[@jungshin87]

cannot edit files, it is locked in system. nobody else has this issue?

[@Nivilack]

I heard that the MZ trinity resource packs generator parts don't show up properly in the MZ generator as they are still meant for MV. That's why I'm here to see if there is a proper way to do it without ruining everything. On steam it seems that whenever people do it the parts still look all screwed up, if you see this comment Driftwood could I get your opinion on the trinity pack for MZ? Do the generator parts work for you?

[@Arcanua]

MZ and MV use the exact same formatting though so that couldn't really happen. :x If it was VX or something then sure.

[@noahmartin6747]

Hey, did you ever figure out how to do this? Whenever I import the generator stuff it messes up.

[@ayanofuji30]

I'm new player so can you teach me how to bring Mv generator file to Mz generator file

[@OXIMrGreen]

no entendí ni madres no hablo ingles

[@DriftyG]

Have you ever considered learning some English?

[@DriftyG]

¿Ha pensado alguna vez en aprender inglés?

[@luanvasconcelosbarbosa5490]
