Description

The DEVELOPMENT ICONS are used to create a cleaner and better workflow for your RPG Maker development. The icons are compatible with MV and MZ (48x48 pixels)

To make full use of these icons, a simple trick (Opacity Trick) is to be known. You can watch the video below to learn how to do it, or simply follow the instructions in this description.

When you're exporting your game for release, use the "invisible" files included. It will reduce the size of the game and you can be sure no DEVELOPMENT ICON will be displayed for your players.

How to Use the Icons

___________________

1. Create an event on your desired Map
2. Select the Event Image using the Dev Icons provided in this pack
3. In the Autonomous Movement section, select "Custom"
4. In the Command List, add a command "Change Opacity" and set it up to "0"
5. Uncheck the "Repeat Movements" if you don't need it
6. Once it's done, set the Speed and Frequency of the Event to 6 and 5 (max values)
7. Validate
8. Your event will now have an event displaying your chosen Image, so you can quickly identify it when developing your game.
9. When you export your game, go into the release folder and use the "Release Set" folder content to replace the game's images. The Development Icons will become invisible for the player.

Advanced Tips

___________________

#1 - If your Event needs several Pages to be used, you can dedicate the 1st Page for the Dev Icon only.

Set it up normally, but make that 1st Page Parallel and activate a Switch required for the 2nd Page. You'll have the freedom of using your Event normally and extensively while still seeing the Dev Icons while developing. Be sure to re-add an Opacity command line to 255 in the next Pages in case the Event is still invisible and you need to see it.
