RPG Maker MZ: Basics EP-2... How to make a Level

[@MissesWitch]

"because it's rude to run around in houses" that made me giggle, made me think of all the rpg games where you can run around in the houses!

[@minimoo245]

Started my free trial of MZ and was a bit overwhelmed by trying to navigate the database and maps (etc.) by myself. You have explained it really clearly and it makes me want to start creating😁 Will definitely try and find the time to watch the rest of these, thanks again!! 👍

[@misterjones1788]

My dude, thank you so much for making these tutorials! Saved me a bunch of trial and error trying to learn how to use the software, nevermind making a project! Very helpful and easy to follow.

[@miken3425]

2 for 2! Having completed half the in game tutorials and your first 2 videos, I now have enough knowledge to fully experiment with map and town creation. moving on to vid 3!

[@miken3425]

put MZ down for awhile. Running through your videos again for a refresher! The tutorial selector in-game is now broken; this is a life saver!

[@Engelados]

Dude its been...idk years since i subscribed to a channel and i browse youtube everyday. Found these videos SO HELPFUL and mindnumbingly easy to understand and follow that you left me no other choise. Good job man....props.

[@warningshotdesigns]

I have a little free time on my hands and I figured I would make a small game to show my brother, and this has been an enjoyable and easy to follow series so far.

[@carso1500]

this is an excelent tutorial, i just got RPG maker MZ yesterday thanks to RPG maker festival and i was completly lost on what to do, when you start a new program its always overwhelming but this helped me to easily get the groove of it

[@LvLUpDesign]

Awesome! I hope my videos help you out!

[@DFalz21]

I downloaded the free trial earlier and I've been following along to this series. This tutorial is super helpful. Extremely easy to understand as well.

[@dagsco.development7697]

Good stuff man! Keep up the work, your videos are great quality and well thought out. I just found this channel, so hope you're still at it!

[@TheTwistedGrizzly]

love your videos I have a great game idea and I low drawing and I really wanted to bring it to life, and you are truly helping me understand it all thanks!

[@mjanmarino]

This is really helpful, thank you!! I'm in the process of tinkering with RPG Maker MZ. Will definitely be going through your tutorial videos as I go along!

[@logar3265]

This is absurdly helpful and clear! Thank you mate!

[@noellachen1434]

Amazing! Thank you so much for these tutorials. As a beginner, these tutorials help me directly go into the key points and tell me why I should do that. It is really helpful. Thank you so much;)

[@blindedjourneyman]

heard about your vids fromm lurking a few forums, first ep helped me figure out alot and trying out the quick events and dissecting em showed me alot more lol.

[@ferventy]

thanks for making such an easily digestible series for beginners! :]

[@LvLUpDesign]

100% Will do!

[@kenzuleisti2779]

Still heavy duty kudos! Funny typo though in your project folder xD but nevermind .. I am learning some great tips just watching you teach me this and I rather watch from beginning as rpg makers are actually very advanced software.. WHAT they do well is disguise themselves "VERY VERY EASY TO USE" hahaha and target people like me who dont want to code.. but they dont really sell it well in mind that afterwards I ragequit at dlc sorting and other things. hehe I wish you could tell my daughter that about running in houses she charges around like a maniac everyday haha xD EDIT very VERY IMPORTANT SIDENOTE: I notice what you are doing in the level and you never ever explained that and that would have been very extremely helpful for half noobs like me and total full noobs, the way you copy the tiles you want to use and paint them with ease while making that house.. You see personally I know about the method but I SIMPLY forget about it so I go back to the tileset again.. Needlessly. Old habits die hard.

[@LvLUpDesign]

Right clicking on a tile will copy it so you can then left click that anywhere else on the map.

[@achintyavatsraj288]

Omg how did I not find this before !!! You are incredible man , maybe introduce JavaScript coding from beginning to intermediate level for RPG maker MZ on your channel , I promise your subscribers will soar.

[@michdie1046]

This looks so fun! I kinda want to make my own video game now

Hey William! Glad my video helps! And yes, a lot of the elements from MZ can be used in MV too

Thank you Sir!

[@AnimeArtest1]

Can you make the castles and stuff bigger 6:34 because the stuff around the player isn't really a realistic size? and can you add your own custom art?

thank u

[@simbasorariku3]

Hello, I am currently trying to make a simple rescue quest/level in MV. Here's how it would go: I talk to a character, they get kidnapped, I go into a cave and fight the bad guy, I talk to the kidnapped character to start a cutscene where we go to they're home and they give me a reward after thanking me. The problem is, how do I make the story and battle happen? So far I can only make the characters and dialogue.

[@LvLUpDesign]

Hi Simba, Check out the below videos.

During the making of the interior map part, player can run on the ceiling tile. How do I fix this 😂

[@Djr2699]

anyone know why I cant put items in the middle of things? like the door for example

[@bluevegas01]

Maybe someone can answer this for me. With the houses, are you able to copy & paste a structure? Or do you have create a new house individually?

[@zebruh2794]

This is helpful :)

Awesome tutorial! I had one question though, when I placed my fences they had a grey border around them, how do I get rid of that border?

[@LvLUpDesign]

Try putting some grass underneath.

[@ICECREAMSHAMPOO.OFFICIAL]

Quick question for you, have you ever used the VisuStellaMZ plugins or plugins by Raizen?

[@LvLUpDesign]

Unfortunately I haven't had time to check their plugins out yet. I've been focussing so much on the new engine for new users that's I've literally only used 2 plugins and one of them was an Edit I did for an MV plugin. Deff keen to check them out soon though. Might even review them :p

[@mr.e5930]

my player keeps spawning in between the wall of the inside of building and i cant do anything but spawn back out the door what's the issue?

[@Notchella1]

I'm having an issue where things like path tiles and trees have the white background behind it, instead of it behind transparent, any idea why it's doing that?

[@Senotic30]

just watching this and how did you get those fences and house stuff beacuse it was not there before?

[@LvLUpDesign]

IT would be a different tileset. When your making the map to begin with you should see an option for tilesets. It defaults to overworld but you can also select "Outside"

[@teggyhosier2204]

How do you delete something after you placed it down? Like floors or wall

[@Shadowthevampire]

Hi I Just bought this today on the Christmas sale. I can't seem to figure out how to delete sprites/tiles or move them around if its possible? I tried pressing DEL key but i didn't work.

[@silence1776]

totally getting a Final Fantasy vibe.

[@JohnwellVillaflor]

Why do you have so much stuff at the mapping tab i only have limited i dont have fences on my mapping tab how do you add that?

[@LvLUpDesign]

In your map settins, check what tileset your using. You might only be using the overworld tileset when you can swap to an outside tileset.

[@FlabbsXZGaming]

This series has helped me a lot, but I just have one problem. Whenever I place something, like a flower or those trees, I get that white tile background in the editor. And then when I start up the game, the objects have a massive dark shadow where the grid pattern was. There's also strange shadows on paths when I create them. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@LvLUpDesign]

Check what layer you're putting the tile on. If you're using an image with a transparent background on it, then placing it on the first layer will give you that glitch. Make sure the flowers aren't on layer 1.

While I was doing this I switched back to the main map and it deleted the town. I also have missing items from the roofs down. How do I fix this?

[@LvLUpDesign]

Is there a way that you've accidentally minimised the map? Ad for missing items from the roof down, I find it easy to use auto tiles on the Automatic layers level.
