VisuStella MZ This plugin is a part of the VisuStella MZ Plugin Library. Click here if you want to help support VisuStella on Patreon. Introduction The plugin adds the ability to display tutorial panels seen in many recent JRPG's. The tutorial panel system allows the player to read forward and backward at their own pace while having visuals displayed on the relevant tutorial pages. The player can later reread the tutorials found in a dedicated Tutorial List scene that is accessible through the main menu. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Adds modern JRPG Tutorial Panel system. Players can read tutorials at their own pace, advancing forward and backward as needed, all while tutorials provide visuals. The list of already read tutorials can be accessed from the Main Menu if enabled and made visible through the Plugin Commands/Parameters. Tutorials can be viewed from the map scene or battle scene. Tutorial calls can be bypassed if the player has already viewed them, in order to prevent tediousness. Tutorials can be bypassed manually by the player through the Options scene if they do not wish to read tutorials for whatever reason (such as their second or third playthrough of the game). Tutorials can still be forcefully opened ignoring the bypass options of having already been read or turned off through the Options menu. Game devs can silently register tutorials to be placed into the Tutorial List scene for the player to read without having to show the tutorial. Within the Tutorial List scene, tutorials are separated into categories, allowing players to sort through them easily. Players can expand and collapse categories as needed if there are too many tutorials to navigate through. Some tutorials can already be made visible and registered by default. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Tier 2 This plugin is a Tier 2 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
