[CGMZ][Beta] IconSet Generator for RPG Maker MZ
A downloadable plugin
Hi all,
This plugin generates an IconSet from individual icon files, which may be how you receive icons if you download them from resource packs not specific to RPG Maker (such as on Itch IO). You provide an input folder which is where the individual icon files are, and then it will combine them all into an IconSet image compatible with RPG Maker in the output folder you provide.
This plugin can also handle upscaling/downscaling icons. For example, if you have a 24x24 icon and want to add it to a 32x32 iconset (for example, a VX ace icon you want to use in MZ), this will allow you to do that. Same for downscaling, if you have a 48x48 or 64x64 icon that you want in your 32x32 iconset, this plugin can handle that. Please note that automatic upscaling/downscaling needs to remove or add pixels programmatically, which may not produce a final result of acceptable quality to you. For best quality, it is always recommended to manually redraw the icon in the size you want.
This plugin will look through subfolders as well, keeping icons within each subfolder next to each other in the generated output. You can use this along with alphabetical sorting to organize the iconset output.
You can also automatically apply a hue rotation to your icons. Below is an image of how it can look:
Please note that automatic hue rotation is not suitable for all applications. In the case above, you may want to rotate only the hue of the hair and leave the skin color alone. In such cases, you may want to continue manually adjusting hue. Automatic hue is an option provided for cases where you do want to adjust the entire icon's hue.
PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
Please be aware that you can access this as well as all of my other Beta plugins for $3 on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CasperGamingRPGM
This is posted to Itch.io since some people only use Itch and are not aware my Patreon and all of my beta/alpha plugins exist, or want to have everything in one convenient location (itch.io), or do not want to do a monthly subscription.
Casper Gaming's Beta/Alpha plugins are treated as an "early access" and will eventually be free for everyone once they are fully released, though this process can take months/years. By purchasing in beta/alpha, you are able to provide early feedback/suggestions which are more likely to make it into the final fully released plugin.

Hello... can you show pictures because we cannot see how it works compare to other ones... thx
Hi, it works via plugin command. You create a folder and add individual icon files to that folder. Then you create an event in RPG maker that calls a plugin command where you tell it the input and output folders, how many icons per row, icon size, where to start appending icons to, etc. Then you open a playtest in RPG Maker and interact with an event that has the plugin command and it will combine the individual icons into an iconset according to your plugin command.
