== Help File ==
+
== Introduction ==
 +
 
 +
The Options Core plugin revamps the Options Menu Scene in RPG Maker MZ to be
 +
more extensive and sustain a larger variety of options. This plugin will add
 +
new options to the list in addition to options from other VisuStella MZ
 +
plugins provided that they're installed as well. Game devs that are adept
 +
with JavaScript are also able to add in their own options to the menu as
 +
well.
 +
 
 +
Features include all (but not limited to) the following:
 +
 
 +
* Revamped Options Menu Scene and layout.
 +
* The ability to add in your own Categories and options inside each of the individual categories.
 +
* Newly added options like Master Volume, Window Tone support, and more.
 +
* Integrated options added from other VisuStella MZ plugins.
 +
* An added Playtest options category that is only available during test play to help speed up the game debug process.
 +
 
 +
== Requirements ==
 +
 
 +
This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker.
 +
 
 +
{{MZ Tier 1}}
 +
 
 +
== Major Changes ==
 +
 
 +
This plugin adds some new hard-coded features to RPG Maker MZ's functions.
 +
The following is a list of them.
 +
 
 +
---
 +
 
 +
=== Options Menu Scene ===
 +
 
 +
[[File:OptionsCoreTab2.png|600px]]
 +
 
 +
The whole scene is revamped due to all the new additions provided by the
 +
Options Core plugin. While basic functions will still work, do not expect
 +
everything to integrate into it seamlessly.
 +
 
 +
---
 +
 
 +
== Extra Features ==
 +
 
 +
There are some extra features found if other VisuStella MZ plugins are found
 +
present in the Plugin Manager list. Most of these enable new options for the
 +
Options Core to utilize as the code for them to work is found in the newer
 +
plugins.
 +
 
 +
---
 +
 
 +
=== Many VisuMZ Plugins ===
 +
 
 +
Each of these plugins have options that become available when installed together with the Options Core plugin.
 +
 
 +
---
 +
 
 +
== Options Categories ==
 +
 
 +
=== General ===
 +

 +

update, then there's a likelihood of it not appearing due to the plugin
 +
parameters not being updated with them.

The following are the options that have been added to the Options Menu. This
 +
is the default "Text" category that appears with the plugin parameters.
 +
These can be added and/or removed. If a new option has been added through an
 +
update, then there's a likelihood of it not appearing due to the plugin
 +
parameters not being updated with them.
 +
 +
*NOTE* Unless changed, this category only appears during playtesting and
 +
does not appear outside of playtesting, which means deployed games should
 +
not display this unless you've given them access to playtest mode.

Introduction

The Options Core plugin revamps the Options Menu Scene in RPG Maker MZ to be more extensive and sustain a larger variety of options. This plugin will add new options to the list in addition to options from other VisuStella MZ plugins provided that they're installed as well. Game devs that are adept with JavaScript are also able to add in their own options to the menu as well.

Features include all (but not limited to) the following:

  • Revamped Options Menu Scene and layout.
  • The ability to add in your own Categories and options inside each of the individual categories.
  • Newly added options like Master Volume, Window Tone support, and more.
  • Integrated options added from other VisuStella MZ plugins.
  • An added Playtest options category that is only available during test play to help speed up the game debug process.

Requirements

This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker.


Tier 1

This plugin is a Tier 1 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library.


Major Changes

---

Options Menu Scene
